Adverse reaction to metal debris (ARMD) is an issue in metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip replacements (THR). It mainly affects large-head MoM THR, whereas 28–32 mm pairings are associated with low long-term revision rates. However, the bearing surface not necessarily only cause of debris. This report documents advanced analysis retrievals a particular trunnionosis late failure small diameter THR a...

BACKGROUND Measuring the orientation of acetabular cup after total hip arthroplasty is important for prognosis. The verification of these measurement methods will be easier and more feasible if we can synthesize prosthesis radiographs in each simulated condition. One reported method used an expensive mechanical device with an indeterminable precision. We thus develop a program, THR Simulator, t...

Chk2 is a critical regulator of the cellular DNA damage repair response. Activation of Chk2 in response to IR-induced damage is initiated by phosphorylation of the Chk2 SQ/TQ cluster domain at Ser(19), Ser(33), Ser(35), and Thr(68). This precedes autophosphorylation of Thr(383)/Thr(387) in the T-loop region of the kinase domain an event that is a prerequisite for efficient kinase activity. We c...

We exhibit a natural function $F_n$ on $n$ variables that can be computed by just linear-size decision list of “Equalities,” but whose sign-rank is $2^{\Omega(n^{1/4})}$. This yields the following two new unconditional complexity class separations. 1. Boolean circuit complexity. The depth-two threshold formulas when weights gates are unrestricted (${THR} \circ {THR}$), any ${THR} {MAJ}$ (the bo...

Eukaryotic initiation factor (eIF) 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) is a translational repressor that is characterized by its capacity to bind specifically to eIF4E and inhibit its interaction with eIF4G. Phosphorylation of 4E-BP1 regulates eIF4E availability, and therefore, cap-dependent translation, in cell stress. This study reports a physiological study of 4E-BP1 regulation by phosphorylation ...

Broiler chicks were fed on chemically-defined crystalline amino acid diets containing graded levels of L-threonine (Thr) during the period 10-20 d post-hatching. Doses of Thr represented 5, 10, 15, 40, 55, 70 and 95% of its ideal level for maximal weight gain and feed efficiency. Other amino acids were maintained at minimized excess levels that were 15% (of ideal) above the various doses of Thr...

Broiler chicks were fed on chemically-defined crystalline amino acid diets containing graded levels of L-threonine (Thr) during the period 10-20 d post-hatching. Doses of Thr represented 5,10,15,40, 55, 70 and 95 % of its ideal level for maximal weight gain and feed efficiency. Other amino acids were maintained at minimized excess levels that were 15 % (of ideal) above the various doses of Thr....
