Nmi is an interferon (IFN)-inducible protein homologous to IFN-inducible protein IFP 35. The homology consists of a novel Nmi/IFP 35 domain (NID) of 90-92 amino acids that is repeated in tandem in each protein and mediates Nmi-Nmi protein interactions and subcellular localization. In a yeast two-hybrid screen with a fragment of Nmi protein containing both NIDs, we identified an interaction betw...

PURPOSE Solid tumors show increased interstitial fluid pressure (IFP), which correlates to a number of pathophysiological features of tumors. There have been no reports on the usefulness of measuring IFP in lung cancer. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between IFP and the clinicopathological characteristics of lung cancer. METHODS IFP was measured prospectively in 215 pat...

In this note, we introduce the concept of semi-*-IFP, involutive version semi-IFP, which is a generalization quasi-*-IFP and *-reducedness *-rings. We study basic structure properties *-rings having semi-*-IFP give results for IFPs in rings with involution. Several counterexamples are stated to connect versions IFP. discuss conditions be extended into *-subrings ring upper triangular matrices. ...

The present study investigated whether the hypocholesterolaemic effect of water-insoluble fish protein (IFP) from Alaska pollock in ovariectomised (OVX) rats was affected by methionine (Met) addition. OVX rats (6 months old) were fed a cholesterol-free diet containing casein, IFP or IFP+Met as a protein source for 28 d. The ratio of Met:glycine was lower in the IFP and IFP+Met diets compared wi...

a one-sided ideal of a ring has the insertion of factors property (or simply, ifp) if implies r for . we say a one-sided ideal of has the weakly ifp if for each , implies , for some non-negative integer . we give some examples of ideals which have the weakly ifp but have not the ifp. connections between ideals of which have the ifp and related ideals of some ring extensions are also shown.

Elevated interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) is a pathophysiological characteristic of most human and experimental tumors and may be responsible, in part, for the poor distribution of blood-borne therapeutic agents and low blood flow rate in tumors. Recent data in cervical carcinomas in patients suggest that fractionated radiation can lower tumor IFP and increase oxygen partial pressure (pO (2)) ...

Elevated interstitial fluid pressure (IFP) is associated with poor blood supply and inadequate delivery of drugs to solid tumors. IFP was measured in squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck region in humans using the wick-in-needle technique. In all lesions (n = 19), the IFP was elevated (4-33 mm Hg). Furthermore, the IFP increased with tumor size. The highest IFP was 33 mm Hg in a 24-ml ...
