BACKGROUND Urinary and fecal continence can be achieved by constructing catheterizable continent channels that provide access to the bladder and bowel. Some patients develop persistent stomal leakage. A minimally invasive method of injection with a bulking agent for treatment of stomal incontinence was evaluated. METHODS A retrospective review identified patients with incontinence of their ca...

Original scientific paper The usage control model (UCON) is the latest major enhancement of traditional access control models. It enables subject and object attributes mutability and usage control continuity. However, with the model access permission may be denied as a result of the environmental changes even though the authorization and obligation requirements are met, thus causing disruptions...

Abstract The California Undercurrent (CUC) transport, with significant variability ranging from weeks to decades, has consequences for both the climate and biogeochemistry of Current system. This study evaluates governors CUC transport its temporal a momentum perspective, using mesoscale-resolving regional model. From 16-yr mean along-isobath pressure gradient acts accelerate CUC, whereas eddy ...

Restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis (RP/IPAA) is the surgical therapy of choice for patients with chronic ulcerative colitis (CUC).1 The association between appendiceal cancer and CUC with long-standing disease and pancolitis was reported.2–5 However, therewere no established surgical intervention strategies for these patients. We report a case of CUC associated with a...

Regulation of the ilv-leu operon probably involves interaction of a tR NA(GAG) with leader region mRNA. Conversion of a CUC (Leu) triplet located within the leader region to UUC (Phe), CGC (Arg), or UAC (Tyr) converted reporter gene expression to control by corresponding amino acids. Conversion of the CUC triplet to CUU (Leu) decreased expression and disrupted regulation. The results suggested ...

Telepathology (TP) is the practice of evaluating pathology cases by the digital transmission of diagnostic slides as either static pictures (static TP) or by a continuous flow of pictures from a robotic microscopy (dynamic TP). The diagnostic efficacy of dynamic TP-based consultation services has not been widely tested. Dysplasia arising in association with chronic ulcerative colitis (CUC) is, ...

The homeobox gene family plays a crucial role during the development of multicellular organisms. The KNOTTED-like genes from Arabidopsis thaliana (KNAT6 and KNAT2) are close relatives of the meristematic genes SHOOT MERISTEMLESS (STM) and BREVIPEDICELLUS, but their function is not currently known. To investigate their role, we identified null alleles of KNAT6 and KNAT2. We demonstrate that KNAT...

Protease activities in allergen sources are thought to be involved in triggering allergic inflammation through the disruption of epithelial barrier or the induction of proinflammatory cytokines. Protease allergens may also work as type 2 helper T cell (TH2) adjuvants through the cleavage of cell surface receptors. Here, we report molecular cloning and immunochemical characterization of a new Ja...

Plants form shoot meristems in the so-called boundary region, and these meristems are necessary for normal morphogenesis of aerial parts of plants. However, the molecular mechanisms that regulate the formation of shoot meristems are not fully understood. We report here that expression of a chimeric repressor from TCP3 (TCP3SRDX), a member of TEOSINTE BRANCHED1, CYCLOIDEA, and PCF (TCP) transcri...
