enteroviruses are the causative agents of a number of diseases in humans. group b coxsackieviruses are believed to be the most common viral agents responsible for human heart disease. genomic data of enteroviruses has allowed developing new molecular approaches such as nucleic acid sequence based amplification (nasba) for detection of such viruses. in this study, coxsackievirus b3 (cvb3) was de...

Complete deletions in the AZF (a, b, and c) sub-regions of the Y-chromosome have been shown to contribute to unexplained male infertility. However, the role of partial AZFc deletions in male infertility remains to be verified. Three types of partial AZFc deletions have been identified. They are gr/gr, b1/b3, and b2/b3 deletions. A recent meta-analysis showed that ethnic and geographical factors...

Proof: We proved in class (Proposition 2.4.1) that there is at least one triangle-or-anti-triangle, call its vertices {a1, a2, a3}. There are at least three additional distinct vertices, b1, b2, and b3. If all of b1, b2, and b3 are adjacent to each other, then {b1, b2, b3} is a triangle. If none of b1, b2, and b3 is adjacent to any other, then {b1, b2, b3} is an anti-triangle. Assume without lo...

EphA4, an Ephrins tyrosine kinase receptor, behaves as a dependence receptor (DR) by triggering cell apoptosis in the absence of its ligand Ephrin-B3. DRs act as conditional tumor suppressors, engaging cell death based on ligand availability; this mechanism is bypassed by overexpression of DRs ligands in some aggressive cancers. The pair EphA4/Ephrin-B3 favors survival of neuronal progenitors o...

Exopolysaccharide (EPS) production represents an adaptive strategy developed by extremophiles to cope with environmental stresses. The EPS-producing Bacillus licheniformis B3-15, of shallow marine vent origin (Vulcano Island, Italy), was previously reported as tolerant arsenate (AsV). In this study, we evaluated: (i) the increasing EPS B3-15 in novel SG17 medium; (ii) arsenic absorption capacit...

Results of previous research have proven that soil organic matter (humic and biochar compounds) can increase maintain fertility protect environmental resilience. The purpose this study was to the abundance microorganisms in young (regosol) with biopelet fertilizer composed a combination biochar, chicken manure, shrimp waste improve fertility. experimental design used randomized block two factor...

To investigate genetic abnormalities associated with the development of thymic epithelial tumors, we performed microsatellite analysis of 26 thymomas belonging to three different World Health Organization types (A, B3, and C) using 48 repeats. The most frequent aberration seen was loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the region 6q23.3-25.3 detected in 11 tumors (45.8% of informative cases). Further ...
