Background: In this study, the effects of three structural analogues of adenosine upon proliferation of human tumor cells were investigated. Previous research showed a cytotoxic effect of adenosine via A3 receptor and A1 receptor and sometimes this effect was receptor independent. The researches showed a differential cytotoxic effect of adenosine and its A3 agonists on cancerous cells, while ot...

Using a lifecycle framework with Epstein-Zin (1989) utility and mixed-integer optimization approach, we compute the optimal age to claim Social Security benefits. Taking advantage of homogeneity, sufficient statistic is ratio wealth primary insurance amount (PIA). If investor's PIA exceeds certain threshold, individuals should defer for at least year. The threshold depends on mortality assumpti...

Staphylococcus aureus can establish chronic infections on implanted medical devices due to its capacity to form biofilms. Analysis of the factors that assemble cells into a biofilm has revealed the occurrence of strains that produce either a polysaccharide intercellular adhesin/poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PIA/PNAG) exopolysaccharide- or a protein-dependent biofilm. Examination of the influence of...

INTRODUCTION Pristane-induced arthritis (PIA) in the rat has been described as an animal model of inflammatory arthritis which exhibits features similar to rheumatoid arthritis in humans, such as a chronic, destructive, and symmetrical involvement of peripheral joints. However, so far little is known about the earliest inflammatory events and their influence on locomotor behaviour during the co...

BACKGROUND The N-terminal fragment of cardiac-derived pro-B-type natriuretic peptide is a glycosylated polypeptide. It is unknown whether N-terminal pro-atrial natriuretic peptide (proANP) fragments are also covalently modified. We therefore evaluated the clinical performance of 2 distinctly different proANP assays on clinical outcome. METHODS We examined 474 elderly patients with symptoms of...
