Objective: Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, a prototype proinflammatory cytokine, has been implicated as an important pathogenic mediator in a variety of liver conditions. Some genetic polymorphisms in the human TNF-alpha promoter region, such as the G-A transitions -308 and – 238, have been shown to influence TNF-alpha expression in chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Aim of the work: The ...

Iraq is suffering from depleted uranium (DU) pollution in many regions and the effects of this may harm public health through poisoning and increased incidence of various cancers and birth defects. DU is a known carcinogenic agent. About 1200 tonnes of ammunition were dropped on Iraq during the Gulf Wars of 1991 and 2003. As a result, contamination occurred in more than 350 sites in Iraq. Curre...

Edinilmiş mallara katılma rejiminde eşler, TMK m. 237/I uyarınca, bir mal rejimi sözleşmesi akdederek artık değere esasını değiştirebilirler. Fakat 238’de, rejiminin boşanma, evliliğin iptali veya mahkeme kararıyla ayrılığına geçiş yoluyla sona ermesi hâlinde, eşler tarafından açıkça aksi kararlaştırılmadığı sürece, anlaşmanın uygulanmayacağı düzenlenmiştir. 238’in amacı, değiştiren anlaşmayla ...

Activity concentrations, inventories and activity ratios of (137)Cs, (238)Pu, (239 + 240)Pu and (241)Am in soil profiles were surveyed in the dry tundra and the adjoining proglacial zones of glaciers at a High Arctic site on Svalbard. Vertical profiles of radionuclide activities were determined in up to 14-cm-thick soil sequences. Additionally, soil properties (pH, organic matter, texture, mine...

BACKGROUND Haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients are at high risk for severe influenza and its complications, and may not be adequately protected by vaccination. METHODS Liver, kidney, or liver-kidney transplant or allogeneic HSCT recipients aged ≥1 year were randomized to oseltamivir (75 mg once daily for those ≥13 years or weight-based dosing...

There were two similar series of burst waiting time experiments carried out on Godiva-II and Caliban respectively analyzed for neutron initiation study, unfortunately both the strength spontaneous fission source given in published papers are not consistent with data U-235 U-238. In this paper, discrepancies U-238 from different references reviewed clarified correct calculated respectively, then...

The side chain of residue Arg(238) in morphinone reductase (MR) is located close to the N-1/C-2 carbonyl region of the flavin isoalloxazine ring. During enzyme reduction negative charge develops in this region of the flavin. The positioning of a positively charged side chain in the N-1/C-2 carbonyl region of protein-bound flavin is common to many flavoprotein enzymes. To assess the contribution...
