Recent studies have reported that the aerial parts of ginseng contain various saponins, which have anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity properties similar to those of ginseng root. However, the leaf extracts of Korean ginseng have not yet been investigated. In this study, we demonstrate the anti-obesity effects of green leaf and dried leaf extracts (GL and DL, respectively) of gi...

A main purpose of this paper is to explain how the theory of higher spin fields in flat D = 4 space and in AdS4 emerges as a result of the quantization of a superparticle propagating in so called tensorial superspaces which have the property of a ‘generalized conformal’ or simply General Linear (GL) flatness.

Absorption of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) after s.c. injection results from the interplay among several kinetic processes. The aims of this study were to investigate the absorption mechanisms of rituximab in rats by using slow s.c. infusion and coadministration with nonspecific IgG or hyaluronidase, and to evaluate the predictive performance of the pharmacokinetic model previously developed to...

In this paper we train a logistic regression function for two forms of link prediction among a set of 244 suspected terrorists in a social network. We train and test on a dataset created at the University of Maryland and further modified at UCSD by Eric Doi and Ke Tang [2]. The supposed terrorists have several labels for the nature of their links to other supposed terrorists; terrorists are cla...

Molt-induced claw muscle atrophy in decapod crustaceans facilitates exuviation and is coordinated by ecdysteroid hormones. There is a 4-fold reduction in mass accompanied by remodeling of the contractile apparatus, which is associated with an 11-fold increase in myofibrillar protein synthesis by the end of the premolt period. Loss of a walking limb or claw causes a loss of mass in the associate...

Immunocytochemical studies have shown that renin, which is normally located in the juxtaglomerular afferent arteriole, may also be found farther upstream toward the interlobular artery during chronic stimulation of the renin-angiotensin system. We assessed the renin distribution along the renal microvasculature using both quantitative analysis and immunocytochemistry in rabbits that received a ...

We have cloned a rat homologue of the Drosophila recessive oncogene lethal (2) giant larvae from rat brain by RT-PCR using primers prepared from sequences conserved amongst lgl family genes. Sequence analysis predicts that the rat rgl-1 gene encodes a 1,036 amino acid polypeptide with a molecular weight of approximately 112 kDa, which contains a domain characteristic of WD-40 proteins. Northern...

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the clinical and angiographic characteristics of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in glaucomatous and non-glaucomatous eyes with unilateral RVO in the fellow eye. METHODS Twenty-one glaucomatous eyes (GL group) and 25 age-matched non-glaucomatous eyes (non-GL group) with unilateral RVO in the fellow eye were included in this study. Fluorescein angiographic images w...
