Esophagogastric junction (EGJ) adenocarcinoma represents 27% of gastric tumors with an increasing incidence in Western countries. Additionally, up to 80% EGJ are diagnosed advanced stages disease, therefore the prognosis is usually poor, a 5-year overall survival rate less than 30%. It known that entity its own epidemiological characteristics, biological behavior, and prognosis, without evidenc...

The most commonly occurring sialic acid Neu5Ac (N-acetylneuraminic acid) and its deaminated form, KDN (2-keto-3-deoxy-D-glycero-D-galacto-nonulosonic acid), participate in many biological functions. The human Neu5Ac-9-P (Neu5Ac 9-phosphate) synthase has the unique ability to catalyse the synthesis of not only Neu5Ac-9-P but also KDN-9-P (KDN 9-phosphate). Both reactions are catalysed by the mec...

Background: Low density lipoprotein (LDL) of egg yolk has been successfully used for stallion and bull semen cryopreservation. However, there is limited information to clarify the effect of LDL or lyophilized LDL on ram semen quality. On the other hand, during semen collection, dilution and cryopreservation we need to protect the spermatozoa from lipid peroxidation. Clove bud has polyphenolic c...
