The bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) assay has been widely accepted for studying in vivo detection of protein-protein interactions in several organisms. To facilitate the application of the BiFC assay to yeast research, we have created a series of plasmids that allow single-step, PCR-based C- or N-terminal tagging of yeast proteins with yellow fluorescent protein fragments for Bi...

As early as 1930 the first adverse health effects of vinyl chloride (VC) were reported.' Since then, numerous observations and studies have indicated a wide range of toxicity attributable to the effects of VC on the central nervous system, the liver, the bones of the fingers, and the Lately, the spectrum of known toxic effects of VC broadened to include malignant neoplasms. Viola et al.," in 19...

We examined the anatomical connections of trigeminal neurons between the trigeminal subnuclei interpolaris/caudalis (Vi/Vc) transition and caudal subnucleus caudalis/upper cervical dorsal horn (Vc/C(1,2)) zones in rats, using the fluorogold (FG) retrograde tracing method combined with Fos expression, a marker of neuronal activation, following temporomandibular joint (TMJ) inflammation. The head...

Since its inception, the venture capital industry has experienced cycles. During the growth phase of each venture capital (VC) business cycle, local and national governments in various countries initiate policies aimed at establishing VC industries as part of an economic development strategy. Invariably, there is a proliferation of ill-advised policies similar to the ones tried during the previ...

Previous studies have shown that CYP2E1 and carboxylesterase enzymes contributed to vinyl carbamate (VC) metabolism in murine lung. Moreover, these studies have implicated CYP2E1 and the carboxylesterases in bioactivation and detoxication, respectively. Here we have tested the hypothesis that CYP2E1 and carboxylesterase enzymes are involved also in VC metabolism in human lung. Demethylation of ...

While virtual communities (VCs) have been used mainly for information sharing and social networking, little is known as to how online vendors can derive benefits from them in practice. VCs are particularly successful in attracting and retaining members. Online vendors have attempted to capitalize on this characteristic of a virtual community (VC) for obtaining numerous commercial benefits, such...

The author herein reports a case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) arising within verrucous carcinoma (VC) of the hard palate. An 84-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital complaining of oral discomfort. Oral examination revealed a pedunculated verrucous tumor (15 x 15 mm) in the hard palate. A biopsy revealed verrucous tumor. Resection of the lesion with wide margins was performed. Grossly...

BACKGROUND Women are at a higher risk for bleeding/vascular complications (VC) related to cardiovascular procedures. Although the overall incidence of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-related bleeding/VC has declined, the impact of this decline, specifically in women, is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 13 653 female and 32 334 male consecutive cases, from 2002 to 2007, in the ...

Phương pháp đáp ứng bề mặt được áp dụng để kiểm tra ảnh hưởng của các yếu tố chiết xuất đến hàm lượng polyphenol (TPC) và flavonoid (TFC) trong ​​lá núc nác (LNN). Điều kiện tối ưu xác định TPC TFC là: nhiệt độ 59°C, ethanol 69%, thời gian 11 phút tỷ lệ nguyên liệu/ dung môi là 1/25 (w/v). Quá trình minh ở điều đã định. Các giá trị thực nghiệm (TPC=215,47±1,03 mg GAE/g cao chiết; TFC=158,01±1,1...

In this paper, a multivariate fundamental skew probit (MFSP) model is used to model correlated ordinal responses which are constructed from the multivariate fundamental skew normal (MFSN) distribution originate to the greater flexibility of MFSN. To achieve an appropriate VC structure for reaching reliable statistical inferences, many types of variance covariance (VC) structures are considered ...
