background: cholesteryl ester transfer protein (cetp) plays a main role in high-density lipoprotein metabolism. cetp gene possesses several single nucleotide polymorphisms which have been associated with plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (hdl-c) concentrations. the aim of this study was to determine the association of cetp -629c/a and i405v polymorphisms with coronary artery disease (...

conclusions this study indicated that the optimization of gene transfer increases the expression of igf-1. high concentrations of igf-1, in combination with cell therapy, have a significant effect on wound healing. results in vitro, the maximum expression of igf1 (96.95 pg/ml) in transfected fibroblast cells was 24 hours after gene transfer. in vivo, it was clear that igf-1 gene therapy caused ...

however, suffer from a problem implied by its title. Dr. Schull's attempts to make the book lyrical lead to the sin of vivid writing, often complicated by inappropriate usages. For example, it seems unlikely that the lanes mentioned on page 15 were "tortured"; "tortuous" is more likely. Can sleep come in "dollops" (page 22)?
