PURPOSE A comparison was done between the F. Paulino jejunal pouch (FP) and a jejunal pouch (JP) as esophagus-duodenum interpositional graft, for replacing the stomach after total gastrectomy. It was investigated the effect of the two procedures on esophagus histology, nutritional state and serum gastrin in rats. METHODS Male Wistar rats weighing 282 +/- 17g were randomly submitted to sham op...

A Jumping Petri Net ((18], 12]), JP T N for short, is deened as a classical net which can spontaneously jump from a marking to another one. In 18] it has been shown that the reachability problem for JP T N 's is undecidable, but it is decidable for nite JP T N 's (FJPTN). In this paper we establish some speciic properties and investigate the computational power of such nets, via the interleavin...

The exact expression for the exchange-correlation energy functional Exc@r ,jp# of the current-density functional theory ~CDFT! is derived by means of the coupling-constant integration technique. It contains the coupling-constant-averaged pair correlation function, which is a functional of the electron density r(r) and paramagnetic current density jp(r). On the basis of this expression, the loca...

Inspired by the LHCb observation of hidden-charm pentaquarks, i.e., Pc(4312), Pc(4440), and Pc(4457) in J/ψp invariant mass spectrum, a calculation scattering cross-section was performed using quark-delocalization color screening model. The results show that Pc(4312) can be identified as molecular state ΣcD with JP=12−. two-peak structure reproduced around 4450 MeV, which corresponds to Pc(4440...

Juvenile periodontitis (JP) is a disease characterized by severe gingival infections. PMN from some JP patients exhibit abnormal chemotactic responsiveness when challenged with the synthetic formyl peptide, FMLP. While investigating PMN function in JP, we found a patient in whom abnormal PMN chemotactic responses to FMLP were associated with a defective population of PMN formyl peptide receptor...

We use quantum invariants to define a 3-manifold invariant jp which lies in the non-negative integers. We relate jp to the Heegard genus, and the cut number. We show that jp is an invariant of weak p-congruence.

BACKGROUND Juvenile polyposis (JP) is an autosomal dominant syndrome predisposing to colorectal and gastric cancer. We have identified mutations in two genes causing JP, MADH4 and bone morphogenetic protein receptor 1A (BMPR1A): both are involved in bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) mediated signalling and are members of the TGF-beta superfamily. This study determined the prevalence of mutations...

BACKGROUND Jet propulsion fuel-8 (JP-8) is the primary jet fuel used by the US military, collectively consuming ~2.5 billion gallons annually. Previous reports suggest that JP-8 is potentially toxic to the immune, respiratory, and nervous systems. The objectives of this study were to evaluate inhalation exposure to JP-8 constituents among active duty United States Air Force (USAF) personnel whi...
