We performed immunohistochemical staining against Hepatocyte (Hep) and CD10 antibodies in 75 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 50 cholangiocarcinomas, 49 colorectal adenocarcinomas, and 308 gastric adenocarcinomas by tissue array method. We also evaluated the various non-neoplastic adult tissues and fetal digestive organs. Hep was expressed in 80% of HCCs, and HCCs without Hep expression were mor...

The Huynh electronic parameter (HEP) is a modern alternative method to determine ligand donor strengths by 13C NMR spectroscopy of metal NHC complexes containing the interest. Using HEP, properties numerous classical Werner-type and organometallic ligands have been evaluated thus far. Moreover, it has extended HEP2, which provides means measure bidentate chelators. This Highlight Review covers ...

Progress in the theoretical description of B-meson decays, in particular decays to light hadrons, is reviewed. The factorization properties of such decays can be analyzed using the softcollinear effective theory. Applications of the effective theory to both inclusive and exclusive decays are discussed.

The Heartbeat Evoked Potential (HEP) has been proposed as a neurophysiological marker of interoceptive processing. Despite its use to validate measures and assess functioning in clinical groups, the empirical evidence for relationship between HEP amplitude processing, including such is scattered across several studies with varied designs. aim this systematic review meta-analysis was examine bod...

BACKGROUND: Pre-pubertal nutrition managements are considered essential for animal health, optimizing production and reproductive performance in livestock. OBJECTIVES: In this study, the effects of dietary low and high energy and protein provisions on body growth, blood metabolites and inherent safety index were investigated in pre-pubertal Kurdish female lambs. METHODS: We fed 40 healthy Kurdi...

OBJECTIVE To characterize adverse events (AEs) after hepatitis A vaccines (Hep A) and hepatitis A and hepatitis B combination vaccine (Hep AB) in pregnant women reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), a spontaneous reporting surveillance system. STUDY DESIGN We searched VAERS for AEs reports in pregnant women who received Hep A or Hep AB from Jan. 1, 1996-April 5, 2013...

The mouse is a valuable model for unravelling the role of hepcidin in iron homeostasis, however, such studies still report hepcidin mRNA levels as a surrogate marker for bioactive hepcidin in its pivotal function to block ferroportin-mediated iron transport. Here, we aimed to assess bioactive mouse Hepcidin-1 (Hep-1) and its paralogue Hepcidin-2 (Hep-2) at the peptide level. To this purpose, Fo...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is associated with a high morbidity and mortality due to its high rate of recurrence. However, little is known about the biological characteristics of recurrent HCC cells. A single patient's primary and recurrent HCC-derived cell lines, Hep-11 and Hep-12, respectively, were established by primary culture. These two cell lines have the same hepatitis B virus integr...

The recovery of epididymal spermatozoa, their cryopreservation and posterior use on IVP of bovine embryos, has become an important tool to store genetic material from animals that have died unexpectedly or that have acquired reproductive inability. The present study aimed to evaluate the viability of spermatozoa from epididymides after their incubation on IVF medium supplemented or not with hep...
