Estrogen-responsive endometrial cancer (EC) is prevalent in uterine cancer. Its precise molecular mechanisms remain to be elucidated partly because of limited availability estrogen-sensitive EC models recapitulating clinical pathophysiology. We previously established patient-derived cell (EC-PDC) spheroid culture with high expression estrogen receptor α (ERα). Using this EC-PDC, we study the tr...

We consider the one-dimensional XXX spin 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet at zero temperature and zero magnetic field. We are interested in a probability of formation of a ferromagnetic string P (n) in the antiferromagnetic ground-state. We call it emptiness formation probability [EFP]. We suggest a new technique for computation of the EFP in the inhomogeneous case. It is based on the quantum Kni...

The gradient for the fragment molecular orbital (FMO) method interfaced with effective fragment potentials (EFP), denoted by FMO∕EFP, was developed and applied to polypeptides solvated in water. The structures of neutral and zwitterionic tetraglycine immersed in water layers of 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5 Å are investigated by performing FMO∕EFP geometry optimizations at the RHF∕cc-pVDZ le...

Objective: Verify the correlation of the improvement of the degree of dyspnea by BME with improved pulmonary performance verified by Expiratory Flow Peak (EFP) and Peripheral Oxygen Saturation (PO2S). Methods: Analytical, cross-sectional study with 124 patients during an asthma crisis, who received care at a Pneumology emergency service. Heart rate, respiratory frequency EFP, PO2S were evaluate...

The biological roles of estrogen-responsive finger protein (efp) in vivo were evaluated in mice carrying a loss-of-function mutation in efp by gene-targeted mutagenesis. Although efp homozygous mice were viable and fertile in both sexes, the uterus that expressed abundant estrogen receptor alpha exhibited significant underdevelopment. When the ovariectomized homozygotes were subjected to 17beta...

In the full effective potential (EFP) approach, we find that the fact of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) can, with the help of the rigorous convexity of the full EFP, lead to the prediction of the IR confinement of Higgs particles, adding difficulty for the experimental identification of Higgs particles unlike the electroweak gauge bosons. We do not specify the explicit form of the Higgs se...

The effective fragment potential (EFP) method for treating solvent effects provides relative energies and structures that are in excellent agreement with the analogous fully quantum [i.e., Hartree-Fock (HF), density functional theory (DFT), and second order perturbation theory (MP2)] results for small water clusters. The ability of the method to predict bulk water properties with a comparable a...

Putative alterations of the functional activity in the staggerer mutant mouse olfactory bulb neuronal network have been studied by recording odor induced evoked field potentials (EFP) in the mitral cells layer. In standard conditions, the main feature observed in mutants was a significant increase in latency preceding the functional response of the mitral cells to the odorant. In these animals,...

BACKGROUND Comparisons of follicular development and hormonal profile in the same women during and after lactational amenorrhoea (LA) are scarce. We report follicular growth, pituitary and ovarian hormone serum levels in the same women during LA and in follicular phases after resumption of menstrual cyclicity. METHODS Serum samples were obtained from 10 women during LA between days 60 and 89 ...

Income alone cannot ensure environmental sustainability. As such, different economies have relied on regulations to preserve the quality of their environment. The efficiency such degradation is still unclear in developing countries culpable for lax regulations. this study explores effect ecological footprint (EFP) MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, Turkey) from 1980-2016. results suggest that en...
