BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in chromosomes 17p13 (p53 gene) and in 18q21 (mammary serine protease inhibitor [maspin] gene), and the expression of both genes in tissues, in patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). METHODS Thirty patients with oral cavity SCC have been evaluated for the presence of LOH in chromosomes 17p1...

Polygalacturonases (PGs) cleave runs of unesterified GalUA that form homogalacturonan regions along the backbone of pectin. Homogalacturonan-rich pectin is commonly found in the middle lamella region of the wall where two adjacent cells abut and its integrity is important for cell adhesion. Transgenic apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv Royal Gala) trees were produced that contained additional cop...

One hundred and one young-adult female Sprague-Dawley rats were acclimatized to metabolic cages for 2 days. After that time 24-hour urine was collected at a constant cooling temperature of 0-4 degrees C. After gel filtration the enzyme activities were determined, and the resulting values were used to calculate 24-hour excretions. The following reference ranges (2.5 and 97.5 percentiles) were de...

OBJECTIVE Danish medical registries are widely used for cardiovascular research, but little is known about the data quality of cardiac interventions. We computed positive predictive values (PPVs) of codes for cardiac examinations, procedures and surgeries registered in the Danish National Patient Registry during 2010-2012. DESIGN Population-based validation study. SETTING We randomly sample...

In Liu and Yu (SIAM J Numer Anal 50(3):1207–1239, 2012), we developed a finite volume method for Fokker–Planck equations with an application to finitely extensible nonlinear elastic dumbbell model for polymers subject to homogeneous fluids. The method preserves positivity and satisfies the discrete entropy inequalities, but has only first order accuracy in general cases. In this paper, we overc...

To identify printing techniques for medieval Korean books, ink tone analysis of printed characters is proposed. Ink tones character images in two ancient The Song Enlightenment with Commentaries by Buddhist Monk Nammyeong Cheon (南明泉和尙頌證道歌), designated as treasures 1984 and 2012, were compared analyzed. Both books have been misidentified disclosed the Cultural Heritage Administration Korea woodb...
