OBJECTIVE To access the percentage of the patients whose repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) studies were negative for 10% amplitude decrement but positive for 10% area decrement and to compare these disagreed results with specialist physician's diagnosis. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective descriptive study. SETTING Electrodiagnosis laboratory, Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, King Chulalongk...

The seven subunit actin-related protein (Arp) 2/3 complex nucleates actin filaments that drive diverse cell processes such as vesicle trafficking, plasma membrane protrusion during cell migration, and motility of some pathogens in host cells (Goley and Welch, 2006). Hence, resolving how activity of the Arp2/3 complex is regulated is important for a basic understanding of diverse cell processes ...

Unlike energy expenditure, energy intake occurs during discrete events: snacks and meals. The prevailing view is that meal size is governed by physiological and psychological events that promote satiation towards the end of a meal. This review explores an alternative and perhaps controversial proposition. Specifically that satiation plays a secondary role, and that meal size (kJ) is controlled ...

Dysosma pleiantha is an endangered and endemic species in China. We have reported the flowering phenology, breeding system and pollinator activity of the species distributed in Tianmu Mountain (Zhejiang Province) nature reserves. Flowering occurred during the months of early April to late May, with the peak in the middle of the April, and was synchronous across all four subpopulations. The anth...

The coordination of cell polarity within the plane of the tissue layer (planar polarity) is crucial for the development of diverse multicellular organisms. Small Rac/Rho-family GTPases and the actin cytoskeleton contribute to planar polarity formation at sites of polarity establishment in animals and plants. Yet, upstream pathways coordinating planar polarity differ strikingly between kingdoms....

Chronic inflammation is a molecular element of the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Saturated fatty acids (SFAs) are considered to be an important proinflammatory factor. However, it is still incompletely understood how SFAs induce proinflammatory cytokine expression. Hereby we report that activating transcription factor (ATF) 4, a transcription factor that is induced downstream of metab...

We identified the enzyme(s) involved in the hydrolysis of the ethyl ester prodrug CDP323 (C28H29BrN403) and characterized its transesterification in the presence of ethanol with special emphasis on the risks of drug-drug interaction. The hydrolysis of CDP323 was evaluated in vitro using human liver and intestinal microsomes and recombinant human carboxylesterases (hCES1 and 2) and was shown to ...
