Since the first report, very few monozygotic pairs of twins with concordant leukemia have been described. The interval between the onset of overt disease in each of the twins usually varies from some months to some years. Genetic changes in childhood acute leukemia are highly variable and patient specific (clone-specific genomic breakpoints and somatic mutations). Therefore, the finding of a sh...

1. Over- or undernutrition of newborn mice was caused by suckling in litters consisting initially of four or eighteen pups. After weaning mice were fed ad lib. At 13 weeks of age some mice from large litters received gold thioglucose (GTG: 600 mg/kg intraperitoneally) to induce hyperphagia, and mice were killed at 13, 19.5, 26, 39 and 52 weeks. 2. Total carcass lipid and the size and number of ...

We present an equipment development for PET Banding Header that complements the Steel Banding machine currently being utilized in Pohang steel works, South Korea. The PET Banding Header was developed due to the damages done on the surface of the cold rolling products whilst being transported. Because the PET Banding Header was designed as a friction-binding technology against the existing heat-...

karyotype of river loach turcinoemacheilus kosswigi from the euphrates river, turkey was investigated using conventional giemsa-staining and c-banding. two females and two males were analyzed. diploid chromosome number was 2n= 50 in all specimens. the karyotype consisted of four pairs of metacentric (m), seven pairs of submeta (sm)-subtelocentric (st) and 14 pairs of acrocentric (a) chromosomes...

We study the mixing time of random graphs in the d-dimensional toric unit cube [0, 1] generated by the geographical threshold graph (GTG) model, a generalization of random geometric graphs (RGG). In a GTG, nodes are distributed in a Euclidean space, and edges are assigned according to a threshold function involving the distance between nodes as well as randomly chosen node weights, drawn from s...

The activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDHC), a key enzyme complex in the oxidative disposal of glucose, was measured after an oral glucose load in the heart, liver, quadriceps muscle, white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) of gold-thioglucose (GTG)-obese mice at different stages during the development of obesity and in age-matched controls. Significant responses to the gluc...

Apoprotein (apo) C-III plays an important role in the development of hypertriglyceridemia by inhibiting triglyceride (TG) removal. However, the effect of apo C-III on TG production remains unclear. We measured TG secretion rate (TGSR) in apo C-III gene-disrupted (apo C-III-null) mice to investigate the influence of this protein on TG turnover. TGSR measured by the Triton WR-1339 method was incr...
