background: endometriosis is a female health disorder that occurs when cells from the lining of the uterus grow in other areas of the body. the cause of endometriosis is unknown. objective: the purpose of this study was to investigate tp53 gene codon 72 polymorphism in women with endometriosis and compared it with healthy samples in isfahan. materials and methods: we undertook a case-control st...

Type IV procollagen-like constituents of glomerular basement membrane were solubilized by reduction and alkylation of disulfide bonds under denaturing conditions. Four polypeptides were observed with apparent Mr = 185,000, 175,000, 164,000, and 152,000. The two largest chains correspond to pro-alpha 1(IV) and pro-alpha 2(IV), described in model systems which secrete a basement membrane-like mat...

The age-related anabolic resistance to protein ingestion is suggested to be associated with impairments in insulin-mediated capillary recruitment and postprandial muscle tissue perfusion. The present study investigated whether dietary nitrate co-ingestion with protein improves muscle protein synthesis in older, type 2 diabetes patients. Twenty-four men with type 2 diabetes (72 ± 1 yr, 26.7 ± 1....

statement of the problem: endodontic surgery if required is considered as an additive therapy after classic endodontic treatments. the most prevalent type of endodontic surgeries are apicoectomy and corrective surgeries. type of material applied in apicoectomies is of high importance. root end filling material should not only be biocompatible but also provide appropriate seal. considering these...

The notion of a free product of pro-finite groups has some important applications in the theory of algebraic number fields (see [3]). In this connection, it is interesting to get some knowledge about the subgroups of such a free product. The aim of this paper is to show a theorem for the open subgroups of a free pro-finite product, which is an analog of Kurosh’s wellknown subgroup theorem for t...

Let k be a global field, p an odd prime number different from char(k) and S, T disjoint, finite sets of primes of k. Let GTS (k)(p) = G(k T S (p)|k) be the Galois group of the maximal p-extension of k which is unramified outside S and completely split at T . We prove the existence of a finite set of primes S0, which can be chosen disjoint from any given set M of Dirichlet density zero, such tha...

Let F be a (topologically) finitely generated free pro-p-group, and ß an automorphism of F . If p ^ 2 and the order of ß is 2 , then there is some basis of F such that ß either fixes or inverts its elements. If p does not divide the order of ß , then the subgroup of F of all elements fixed by ß is (topologically) infinitely generated; however this is not always the case if p divides the order o...

Fix a prime number l. In this paper we develop the theory of relative pro-l completion of discrete and profinite groups — a natural generalization of the classical notion of pro-l completion — and show that the pro-l completion of the Torelli group does not inject into the relative pro-l completion of the corresponding mapping class group when the genus is at least 2. (See Theorem 1 below.) As ...
