PCR amplification and sequencing of whole blood DNA from an individual with hereditary spastic paraplegia, as well as family members, revealed a fragment of proteolipid protein 1 (PLP1) gene exon 1, which excluded the possibility of isomer 1 expression for this family. The fragment sequence of exon 3 and exon 5 was consistent with the proteolipid protein 1 sequence at NCBI. In the proband sampl...

In a consecutive series of nearly 20,000 freshly delivered placentas, 2 vessels instead of the normal 3 were found in the umbilical cords of 143 (0 72%) infants, 83 females and 60 males. 4 infants were twins: in each instance the co-twi...

OBJECTIVE Comparing reliability of Osstell Mentor and Osstell ISQ in implant stability measurement, and assessing whether their measurements are comparable. MATERIALS AND METHOD Implant stability was measured with both devices on 58 implants in 15 patients. Six measurements were completed with each device with 2 different transducers (3 measurements with each transducer), that is, 12 measurem...

UNLABELLED Resonance frequency analysis (RFA) allows assess implant stability by measuring implant oscillation frequency on the bone. RFA is an objective and non-invasive method for implant stability measurement, although scarce evidence has been provided so far on its reliability. OBJECTIVE Assess the Osstell ISQ system's reliability (i.e., its measurement reproducibility and repeatability) ...

p63, a p53 homologue nuclear transcription factor was expressed in basal cells of multilayered epithelia and myoepithelial cells of the breast. 14-3-3 was a putative tumour suppressor gene, transactivated by p53 in response to DNA damage and immunohistochemically demonstrated that 14-3-3 was consistently expressed in the cytoplasmic compartment and occasionally in the nuclei of myoepithelial ...

Two hundred and thirty children clinically diagnosed as suffering from acute respiratory infection were tested for four major groups of viral aetiological agents, i.e. influenza para-influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and adenoviruses using indirect immunofluorescence technique. At least one of the respiratory viruses was identified in 51 (22 per cent) specimens, which included influe...
