We evaluated the potential clinical value of the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) as a multidimensional self-report measure to identify the expected higher rates of clinically significant mental health symptoms in adults with partial/complex partial epilepsy (PE), as compared to a representative sample of adult non-patients. As expected, adults with PE had significantly higher rates of e...

SCL/tal is a putative oncogene originally identified through its involvement in the translocation t(1;14)(p32;qll) present in the leukemic cell line DU.528. Subsequent studies have shown an upstream deletion activating expression of SCLI tal to be one of the most common genetic lesions in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). The cDNA sequence of SCL/tal encodes a basic helix-loop-helix ...

The joint transmission scheme of polar codes and sparse code multiple access (SCMA) has been regarded as a promising technology for future wireless communication systems. However, most the existing polar-coded SCMA (PC-SCMA) systems suffer from high latency caused by feedback iteration list decoding. In addition, error performance PC-SCMA is unsatisfactory ultra-reliable transmission. Inspired ...

The orchestration of orienting behaviors requires the interaction of many cortical and subcortical areas, for example the superior colliculus (SC), as well as prefrontal areas responsible for top-down control. Orienting involves different behaviors, such as approach and avoidance. In the rat, these behaviors are at least partially mapped onto different SC subdomains, the lateral (SCl) and media...

BACKGROUND Lung transplantation (LTx) is a well-accepted treatment that can prolong survival of patients with advanced lung disease. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between serum cyclosporine level (SCL) pattern and mortality of LTx recipients. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included 1019 observations on 38 patients who underwent LTx in Masih Daneshvari Hospital from 2000 to ...

We developed rapid 24-h immunoblot assays for detecting autoantibodies to Scl 70 and Jo 1 antigens in serum. In comparative studies, we evaluated the analytical sensitivity of the immunoblot assays and commercial immunodiffusion assays for anti-Scl 70 and anti-Jo 1 autoantibodies with the use of positive control sera, and compared the frequencies of positive and negative results in a group of 1...

We describe the development of a human bone marrow (BM) culture system which allows study of the interaction of stromal cell lines (SCL) and highly purified hematopoietic progenitor cells. Normal BM stromal cells were electroporated with a plasmid containing the simian virus 40 (SV40) large T antigen (SV40 T Ag) under the control of a synthetic metallothionein promoter (MT4); this construct is ...
