INTRODUCTION Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most important causes of liver-related morbidity and mortality in children. Recently, we have reported the effects of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), the major dietary long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, in children with NAFLD. DHA exerts a potent anti-inflammatory activity through the G protein-coupled receptor (GPR)120. Our a...

AIM To investigate the correlation between immunohistochemical and biochemical steroid receptor analyses by measurement of oestrogen, progesterone, and androgen receptor status in ovarian neoplasia. METHODS Tissue samples were obtained from 27 ovarian neoplasms, including two borderline tumours. Immunohistochemical staining of the tissue slides was scored semiquantitatively, incorporating the...

Our first investigations of the action of lysozyme on tetrasaccharides isolated from chitin showed that lysozyme, like many other known glycosides, is a transferase. Under certain conditions (oligosaccharide concentration 1 to 2% , the enzyme concentration 0*5 %) the synthetic process may yield an insoluble chitin-like product. Judging by the increase of the Morgan-Elson reaction, lysozyme dige...

BACKGROUND Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) of arteries is limited by the inability of current instruments to visualize beyond the catheter tip. We have developed a prototype 4-mm-diameter forward-viewing IVUS catheter (Cardiovascular Imaging Systems, Sunnyvale, Calif) that has the ability to provide B-mode cross-sectional ultrasound data for a distance of up to 2 cm distal to the catheter tip. ...

Containing Apatites." The general arrangement of the articles is similar to the format of a journal of dental research, but lacks editorial comment or discussion. Each paper is printed in the author's native language (English, German, or French) prefaced by very brief, inadequate abstracts in all three languages. Less than one-fifth of the studies pertains to fluorine and its cumulative effect ...
