Introduction: HER2/neu, a member of the epidermal growth factor receptor family, has been shown to be over-expressed in some tumors. The purpose of this study was to determine the salivary levels and tissue expression of HER2/neu in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and their correlation with clinicopathologic parameters.   Materials and Methods: Enzyme-linked immu...

Background:In tumoral cells, the HER-2/Neu is an oncogene and overexpression would result in further membranous proteins. The role of this gene is known in ling and breast cancers. This study was undertaken to determine the HER-2/Neu overexpression in gastrectomy samples in patients with gastric cancer and its association with tumor histopathology prognostic factors. M...

The influenza A genome consists of eight single-stranded RNA molecules, each associated with an oligomeric core of the structural protein, nucleoprotein, to form a distinct viral ribonucleoprotein (vRNP) complex. vRNPs are the entities responsible for the transcription and replication of the influenza viral RNAs in the nuclei of host cells. Thus, nuclear targeting and localization of the vRNPs ...

Evenly-sampled hard X-ray monitoring was obtained with RXTE for one NLS1 (Akn 564) and four BLS1s. The variability amplitude of the NLS1 was no larger than the mean of the BLS1s, and the NLS1 showed stronger variability in the harder portion of the RXTE band, while the BLS1s were more strongly variable in the relatively soft part of the band. This contribution discusses possible explanations fo...

This memo provides a mechanism whereby messages conforming to the [RFC 1521] ("MIME") specification can convey presentational information. It specifies a new "Content-Disposition" header, optional and valid for any [RFC 1521] entity ("message" or "body part"). Two values for this header are described in this memo; one for the ordinary linear presentation of the body part, and another to facilit...
