Primary cutaneous mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a rare disease entity. Only around 20 cases have been reported so far. Herein, we present two cases for better understanding of the condition: A 74-year-old lady with a low-grade primary cutaneous MEC at her right external auditory ear canal was treated with surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy. The patient developed recurrence five mo...

It was formerly demonstrated that PL retard and Choi accelerates the formation of tumours induced by M e C 2. This retardation respectively acceleration, however, never surpassed a period of somewhat more than four weeks. The question, then, arose why PL are only capable to retard temporarily and not to pre­ vent, i. e. retard permanently, the formation of tu­ mours. It was presumed that the ad...

Protonatedweak acids commonly used inmicrobial electrolysis cell (MEC) solutions can affect the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) through weak acid catalysis, and by lowering solution resistance between the anode and the cathode. Weak acid catalysis of the HER with protonated phosphate, acetate, and carbonate electrolyte species improved MEC performance by lowering the cathode’s overpotential b...

CA1 cells receive direct input from space-responsive cells in medial entorhinal cortex (MEC), such as grid cells, as well as more nonspatial cells in lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC). Because MEC projects preferentially to the proximal part of the CA1, bordering CA2, whereas LEC innervates only the distal part, bordering subiculum, we asked if spatial tuning is graded along the transverse axis o...

Lower-latency services are expected toward beyond 4G mobile networks; however, legacy 3G and 4G networks are now suffering from the mobile data surge. In this sense, pushing network services to the network edge has the potential to improve the traffic latency and user experience, as well as to offload Internet traffic. The network functions can be dynamically reassigned between edge and core no...

We have previously purified and characterized a 5-methylcytosine (5-MeC)-DNA glycosylase from 12 day old chick embryos [Jost,J.P. et al. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 9734-9739]. The activity of the purified enzyme is abolished upon treatment with proteinase K and ribonuclease A. RNA copurifies with 5-MeC-DNA glycosylase activity throughout all chromatographic steps and preparative gel electrophor...

Local circuits in the medial entorhinal cortex (mEC) and hippocampus generate gamma frequency population rhythms independently. Temporal interaction between these areas at gamma frequencies is implicated in memory-a phenomenon linked to activity of NMDA-subtype glutamate receptors. While blockade of NMDA receptors does not affect frequency of gamma rhythms in hippocampus, it exposes a second, l...

The reactions with DNA and mutagenic activities toward Salmonella typhimurium TA 100 of the R,S,S,R and S,R,R,S enantiomers of antil,2,-dihydroxy-3,4-epoxy-l,2,3,4-tetrahydro-5-methylchrysene (anti5-MeC-l,2-diol-3,4-epoxide), an»i-5-MeC-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide, and «nf/-6-MeC-l,2-diol-3,4-epoxide were compared because among these compounds only the H,S,S,K enantiomer of anri-5-MeC-l,2-diol-3,4e...

THEMATTHEWEFFECT FOR COUNTRIES (MEC) consists of the systematic deviation in the number of actual (observed) citations from the number of expected citations: Afew countries, expecting a high impact (i.e., a high number of cites per paper) receive a surplus of citations, while the majority of countries, expecting a lower impact, lose citations. The MEC is characterized by numerous facets, but tw...

Primary mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) is a very uncommon tumor in uterine cervix. Most has been introduced in the salivary gland, but this tumor can arise from other organs. Primary MEC in the cervix is morphologically similar to that of the salivary gland. We experienced one case of primary cervical MEC of 44-year-old women. The cancerous mass was found in the anterior lip of the cervix witho...
