The Caenorhabditis elegans GATA transcription factor elt-1 has previously been shown to have a central role in the specification of hypodermal (epidermal) cell fates and acts several cell divisions before the birth of hypodermal cells. Here we report that elt-1 also has essential functions during subsequent development. Reporter gene studies show that elt-1 expression is maintained in lateral s...

introduction the purpose of this study was to evaluate personal shields in radiation departments of hospitals affiliated to mashhad university of medical sciences. materials and methods first, the information related to 109 personal shields was recorded and evaluated by imaging equipment. afterwards, the equivalent lead thickness (elt) of 62 personal shields was assessed, using dosimeter and st...

Eltrombopag (ELT) is a novel thrombopoietin receptor agonist for the treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Previous reports indicate that ELT is mainly eliminated in the liver, although its pharmacokinetic profile has not yet been clarified in detail. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the overall elimination mechanism of ELT. After intravenous administration of ELT ...

Self-assessment and peer-assessment have been appraised in a large number of studies, aiming at investigating their effectiveness in different contexts. However, the challenges of implementing self-assessment and peer-assessment have been investigated rather sporadically. Given that, the purpose of this study was to explore the challenges and probable solutions of implementing self-assessment a...

ELT-2 is the major regulator of genes involved in differentiation, maintenance and function of C. elegans intestine from the early embryo to mature adult. elt-2 responds to overexpression of the GATA transcription factors END-1 and END-3, which specify the intestine, as well as to overexpression of the two GATA factors that are normally involved in intestinal differentiation, ELT-7 and ELT-2 it...

There has been awareness of gender asymmetry in some texts including those in ELT materials. Many studies indicate similar results that the representation of males in the texts outnumbers the females (Peterson & Lach, 1990; Kortenhaus & Demarest, 1993; Wharton, 2005). Males are also likely to be described as positive, active, and competent, whilst females are likely to be described as negative,...

ELT – extract, load, and transform – is replacing ETL (extract, transform, load) as the usual method of populating data warehouses. Modern data warehouse appliances and appliance-like systems, such as IBM Pure Data / Netezza, are ideally suited for an ELT environment. ELTMaestro is a framework for ELT development, deployment, and production. ELTMaestro is not an ETL tool that has been repurpose...

Eltrombopag (ELT), an orally available thrombopoietin receptor agonist, is a substrate of organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1), and coadministration of ELT increases the plasma concentration of rosuvastatin in humans. Since the pharmacokinetic mechanism(s) of the interaction is unknown, the present study aimed to clarify the drug interaction potential of ELT at transporters. The...

GATA transcription factors play critical roles in cellular differentiation and development. However, their roles in mature tissues are less understood. In C. elegans larvae, the transcription factor ELT-2 regulates terminal differentiation of the intestine. It is also expressed in the adult intestine, where it was suggested to maintain intestinal structure and function, and where it was additio...
