hepatitis c virus (hcv) encodes two envelope glycoproteins, e1 and e2. our previous work selected a specific aptamer ze2, which could bind to e2 with high affinity, with a great potential for developing new molecular probes as an early diagnostic reagents or therapeutic drugs targeting hcv. in this study, the binding sites between e2 and aptamer ze2 were further explored. e2 was truncated to 15...

conclusions this study revealed that lod in females with pcos with a serum e2 > 40 pg/ml was sufficient and safe to trigger development of ovarian follicles followed by clinical pregnancy. results there was significant difference in the average starting time of ovulation and continuing spontaneous ovulation of cases with pcos with e2 levels > 40 pg/ml, compared with ones with e2 ≤ 40 pg/ml (p =...

a randomized clinical trial study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of intravenous oxytoxin (50 cases) and intracervical prostaglandin e2 (0.5 mg tab, 50 cases) on the ripening of the cervix and frequency of successful inductions in patients with low bishop score (<5). means of maternal age, gestational age, parity, bs at admission did not show any significant differences between the two gr...

Two possible isomers of some 1,3-diaryl-H-benzo[f]chromene have been studied using density functional theory. Structures of E1 and E2 isomers were optimized at the B3LYP and MP2 levels with different basis sets. The total electronic energies show that E2 isomer is about 3-5 kcal/mol more stable than E1 isomer and this energy difference is attributed to the planarity of heterocyclic ring and mor...

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic compound widely used in types of consumer goods and medical tools. It has been shown that BPA acts as an endocrine disruptor chemical casuing negative impact on reproductive functions. The present study used an in vitro approach to assess estrogenic transcriptional activity of BPA as a rapid and sensitive method. The cultured pieces of hepatic tissue of goldfish...

background: endometriosis is a complex estrogen-dependent disease that is defined as the presence of endometrial gland and stroma outside the uterine cavity. although the exact mechanism for the development of endometriosis remains unclear, there is a large body of research data and circumstantial evidence that suggests a crucial role of estrogen in the establishment and maintenance of this dis...

A linear relation E acting on a Hilbert space is idempotent if E2=E. triplet of subspaces needed to characterize given idempotent: (ranE,ran(I−E),domE), or equivalently, (ker⁡(I−E),ker⁡E,mulE). The relations satisfying the inclusions E2⊆E (sub-idempotent) E⊆E2 (super-idempotent) play an important role. Lastly, adjoint and closure are studied.
