AIM To investigate the expression and clinical pathological significance of ROR2 and WNT5a in gallbladder squamous/adenosquamous carcinoma (SC/ASC) and adenocarcinoma (AC). METHODS EnVision immunohistochemistry was used to stain for ROR2 and WNT5a in 46 SC/ASC patients and 80 AC patients. RESULTS Poorly differentiated AC among AC patients aged > 45 years were significantly more frequent com...

Collinear laser spectroscopy of the $N=Z=21$ self-conjugate nucleus $^{42}$Sc has been performed at JYFL IGISOL IV facility in order to determine change nuclear mean-square charge radius between $I^{\pi}=0^{+}$ ground state and $I^{\pi}=7^{+}$ isomer via measurement $^{42\mathrm{g},42\mathrm{m}}$Sc shift. New multi-configurational Dirac-Fock calculations for atomic mass shift field factors have...

introduction: due to interesting therapeutic properties of 46sc and antineoblastic antibiotic, bleomycin (blm), 46sc-bleomycin (46sc-blm) was developed as a possible therapeutic compound. methods: in this work, sc-46 chloride was obtained by thermal neutron flux (4 × 1013 n.cm-2.s-1) of natural metallic scandium sample followed by dissolution in acidic media  as a substitute for 47sc in radiol...

The aim of present study was to compare attitude of parents and teachers belonging to SC/ST group towards sex education included in school curriculum. The sample consisted of 40 teachers (teachers belonging to ST/SC group of different government schools and private schools of Almora and Nainital Districts) and 46 parents (mother and father from same family of students belonging to ST/SC group s...

This paper presents the results of case studies evaluating our method of unifying use cases (UCs) to derive a unified statechart (SC) model of the behavior of the domain system (DS) of a proposed computer-based system. An evaluation of the unification method, the obtained SC model of the DS, the method’s and model’s feedback on the UCs themselves, and how the method is used in requirements engi...

India's rapid economic growth has not entirely left the poor behind. The fraction of people who live under the poverty line has gone down from 46 per cent in 1983 to 28 per cent in 2004-05. Poor people can now afford cell phones, TVs, and some other of life's little treats. The SC/ST population has not been left out of this trend. Indeed it has caught up: In 1983, the average worker who was not...

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is an invasive epithelial skin tumour. The thickness of the outermost epidermal layer of the skin, the stratum corneum (SC), influences drug uptake and penetration into tumour and may thereby affect the response of BCC to topical treatment. The aim was to investigate a possible relationship between the thickness of the SC and that of the viable part of BCC. Histopatho...

The origin, range, and structure of prions causing the most common human prion disease, sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (sCJD), are largely unknown. To investigate the molecular mechanism responsible for the broad phenotypic variability of sCJD, we analyzed the conformational characteristics of protease-sensitive and protease-resistant fractions of the pathogenic prion protein (PrP(Sc)) usin...

The clinicopathological and biological characteristics of squamous cell/adenosquamous carcinoma (SC/ASC) of the gallbladder remain to be fully elucidated, due to the fact that it is a rare gallbladder cancer subtype. In the current study, the expression of minichromosome maintenance complex component 2 (MCM2) and HIV‑1 tat interactive protein 2 (TIP30) was measured in 46 cases of SC/ASC and 80 ...
