Mucin O-glycosylation in cancer is characterized by aberrant expression of immature carbohydrate structures leading to exposure of simple mucin-type carbohydrate antigens and peptide epitopes. Glycosyltransferases controlling the initial steps of mucin O-glycosylation are responsible for the altered glycosylation observed in cancer. We studied the expression in gastric cell lines of six UDP-Gal...

Background: Although type 2 diabetes mellitus is often managed by osteopathic physicians, osteopathic palpatory findings in this disease have not been adequately studied. Methods: A case-control study was used to measure the association between type 2 diabetes mellitus and a series of 30 osteopathic palpatory findings. The latter included skin changes, trophic changes, tissue changes, tendernes...

AIM An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementing different levels of salts of organic acid in the laying hen's diet on their production performance and egg quality parameters during a period of 16-week. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 140 white leghorn laying hens at 24 weeks of age were randomly distributed to seven dietary treatment groups, i.e. T1 (control), T2 (0.5...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of segmental neuromyotherapy combined with standard hospital therapy relative to standard therapy alone in patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain. DESIGN Randomized controlled trial. PATIENTS A total of 24 patients with positive Neer's and hand-behind-neck tests received standard therapy for shoulder pain. Half of them received additional segmental neur...

The prevalence of abiotic stresses hampers soil health and plant growth in most ecosystems. In this study, rice husk iron-enriched biochar (BC) was prepared its superiority terms nutrients enrichment, porosity different acidic functional group (O-H, C=O) relative to simple confirmed through scanning electron microscopic, X-ray fluorescence Fourier transform infrared analysis. To further evaluat...

Splanchnic neurectomy is of value in the management of chronic abdominal pain. It is postulated that the inconsistent results of splanchnicectomies may be due to anatomical variations in the pattern of splanchnic nerves. The advent of minimally invasive and video-assisted surgery has rekindled interest in the frequency of variations of the splanchnic nerves. The aims of this study were to inves...

In semi-arid tropics, sugarcane yield and quality are affected by deficiencies in soil nutrients, including potassium calcium. We examined the effects of two different fertilizers, a traditional muriate potash (MOP) polyhalite (which contains calcium), on growth, yield, quality. Experimental treatments compared control 0 kg K ha?1 (T1) to applied as MOP only at 80 (T2) 120 (T3), an equal split ...

Humic acid fertilizer (HA) incorporation is a common method for improving crop growth and soil fertility. However, the effects of HA on rice are still unknown. We conducted two-year field experiment to determine radiation use, growth, yield grown with five different rates: 110 kg?ha?1 100% urea (pure nitrogen) (T1); 30% 70% (T2); 50% (T3); (T4), 1500 (T5). The results showed that T2 treatment h...

the 440 fertile eggs, in a completely randomized design were divided into 11 treatments with four replicatesand 10 eggs per each replicate. treatments including: (t1; control; without injection), (t2; injected with 0.3ml saline 9.0%; sham control), (t3, t4 and t5) 25, 75, 125 ppm fe-nano, (t6, t7 and t8) 50, 100, 150 ppmfe-nano-alimet chelate, (t9, t10 and t11) 50, 100, 150 ppm fe-aliment chela...

Short-course preoperative radiotherapy (SC-RT) followed by total mesorectal excision (TME) is one therapeutic option for locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC) patients. Since radio-induced DNA damage may affect tumor immunogenicity, Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and T regulatory cells (Tregs) were evaluated in 13 patients undergoing SC-RT and TME for LARC. Peripheral Granulocytic-MDS...
