two dogs with generalized seizures were evaluated. the dogs were diagnosed with traumatic intracranial hemorrhages based on the history, neurological examinations, and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) of the brain. treatment was started with oxygen, prednisolone and anticonvulsant agents. no further seizure activity was observed after treatment in both dogs, however cushing reflex was detected ...

background: l1 retrotransposons are the most active mobile dna elements in human genome. unregulated l1 retrotransposition may have deleterious effect by disrupting vital genes and inducing genomic instabilities. therefore, human cells control l1 elements by silencing their activities through epigenetic mechanisms. it has been shown that cell division and heavy metals stimulate the frequency of...

The human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor receptor (hG-CSFR) belongs to the cytokine receptor superfamily. As with other members of this family, the cytoplasmic domain of hG-CSFR lacks intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. To identify critical regions mediating growth signal transduction by hG-CSFR, deletions or site-directed amino acid substitutions were introduced into the cytoplasmic dom...

Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) stimulates the proliferation and restricted differentiation of hematopoietic progenitors into neutrophils. To clarify the effects of G-CSF on hematopoietic progenitors, we generated transgenic (Tg) mice that had ubiquitous expression of the human G-CSF receptor (hG-CSFR). In clonal cultures of bone marrow and spleen cells obtained from these mice, h...

Results Blood urea nitrogen and free thyroxine levels were significantly higher. Sodium, potassium, thyroid stimulating hormone levels were significantly lower in women with HG than those in the control group. Although serum ADA and CAT were measured to be higher in HG group, the difference was not significant. Serum MDA and GPx levels were significantly elevated in women with HG when compared ...
