Anther cultures have been developed from transgenic donor peppers carrying HPT/J1-1. Eight out of sixteen plants produced from an anther culture set pepper fruits. Southern blot analysis of donors revealed two independent plants with a single copy of the integrated transgene. PCR and RT-PCR results showed the inheritance of HPT/J1-1 and expression of J1-1 in A1. All A1 progeny derived from tran...

In a retrospective survey of 34 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT), 18 (53%0 complained of musculo-skeletal symptoms during the 12 months before the diagnosis was made and 9 (26%) attended at some time for either a rheumatological or orthopaedic consultation. Myalgia was the most frequently reported symptom which occurred in 41% of patients. Arthralgia, mainly affecting the large j...

Recently I.) used velocity moments of a classical kinetic equation to derive a hydrody-namic description of electron motion in a degenerate electron gas. Independently , the present authors (Theochem 501-502, 327 (2000)) used considerations arising from the Harmonic Potential Theorem (Phys. Rev. Lett. 73, 2244 (1994)) to generate a new form of high-frequency hydrodynamics for in-homogeneous deg...

We investigate the effects of hydrogen plasma treatment (HPT) on the properties of silicon quantum dot superlattice films. Hydrogen introduced in the films efficiently passivates silicon and carbon dangling bonds at a treatment temperature of approximately 400°C. The total dangling bond density decreases from 1.1 × 1019 cm-3 to 3.7 × 1017 cm-3, which is comparable to the defect density of typic...

As renal function declines, the accumulation of phosphate adversely affects mineral homeostasis and bone turnover. The consequences of this imbalance include secondary hyperparathyroidism (2oHPT), osteodystrophy, and vascular calcification. High phosphate levels are a key factor in the pathogenesis of 2oHPT. Hyperphosphatemia is common in uraemic patients due to a reduced excretion of phosphate...

Brown tumors are giant cell focal lesion that arises as a result of abnormal bone metabolism in patients with hyperparathyroidism (HPT). The lesions localize in areas of extensive bone resorption, which is replaced by fibrovascular tissue and giant cells with abundant deposits hemorrhage and hemosiderin. A rare case of brown tumor of mandible in a 22-year-old woman is reported here. This case e...

High-pressure torsion (HPT) is widely used as a severe plastic deformation technique to create ultrafine-grained structures with promising mechanical and functional properties. Since 2007, the method has been employed to enhance the hydrogenation kinetics in different Mg-based hydrogen storage materials. Recent studies showed that the method is effective not only for increasing the hydrogenatio...

Primary hyperparathyroidism (P-HPT) is now recognized as one of the most common of all endocrine disorders. When defined by clinical and pathological parameters, solitary adenomas account for 80-85% of cases of P-HPT, hyperplasias for 10-15% and carcinomas for less than 1% in the US and most Western European countries. However, the incidence of parathyroid carcinoma has been reported to be as h...

Abstract This study investigates the spatiotemporal characteristics of human-perceived temperature (HPT) data, which describe joint effects and humidity on human body, examines related large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns for summer season (July–August) in South Korea using trend composite analyses. The increasing HPT was stronger than that maximum, mean, minimum temperatures during 198...
