BACKGROUND Cervical lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is common. However, whether undergoing prophylactic central lymph node (CLN) dissection or lateral lymph node (LLN) dissections to prevent metastasis is still controversial. This study aimed to retrospectively investigate the risk factors of LLN metastasis in clinical lymph node-negative (cN0) PTC patients. METHODS...

The current study in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) was conducted at PAU, Ludhiana with the objective of developing hybrids possessing combined resistance to late blight and leaf curl virus diseases along desirable horticultural characteristics. experimental material which included 32 F1 (developed by line ? tester method), 12 parental lines (8 4 testers; including susceptible check Punjab Ch...

Cervical lymph nodes (CLN) are the first lymph nodes encountered by material taking the oral route. To study their role in orally acquired infections, we analyzed 307 patients of up to 14 years treated in the university clinic of Skopje, Macedonia, for brucellosis, a zoonotic bacterial disease frequently acquired by ingestion of contaminated dairy products. From these children, 36% had lymphade...

Relational learning deals with data that are characterized by relational structures. An important task is collective classification, which is to jointly classify networked objects. While it holds a great promise to produce a better accuracy than noncollective classifiers, collective classification is computational challenging and has not leveraged on the recent breakthroughs of deep learning. W...

In budding yeast, stability of the mitotic B-type cyclin Clb2 is tightly cell cycle-regulated. B-type cyclin proteolysis is initiated during anaphase and persists throughout the G1 phase. Cln-Cdc28 kinase activity at START is required to repress B-type cyclin-specific proteolysis. Here, we show that Clb-dependent kinases, when expressed during G1, are also capable of repressing the B-type cycli...

NCLs (neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses), a group of inherited neurodegenerative lysosomal storage diseases that predominantly affect children, are the result of autosomal recessive mutations within one of the nine cln genes. The wild-type cln gene products are composed of membrane and soluble proteins that localize to the lysosome or the ER (endoplasmic reticulum). However, the destiny of the Cln...

We report on an implementation within GiNaC to evaluate iterated integrals related elliptic Feynman numerically arbitrary precision the region of convergence series expansion integrand. The includes modular forms as well involving Kronecker coefficient functions g ( k ) z , ? . For in d? and dz are implemented. This multiple polylogarithms. Note: program uploaded CPC Library is full program, or...

In this paper we investigate the period of 2-step sequences and 3-step sequences in CLn, the chain with n elements.

An understanding of how pathogens colonize their hosts is crucial for the rational design of vaccines or therapy. While the molecular factors facilitating the invasion and systemic infection by pathogens are a central focus of research in microbiology, the population biological aspects of colonization are still poorly understood. Here, we investigated the early colonization dynamics of Salmonel...

Abstract INTRODUCTION Limited migration of dendritic cell (DC) vaccines to draining lymph nodes (DLN) remains a major limitation DC efficacy for malignant gliomas. Our prior work demonstrated that increased peripheral DLN results in enhanced antitumor efficacy. Given this, we studied trafficking mouse gliomas, the meningeal lymphatic vessel (MLV) system, and cervical (CLN). METHODS To elevate h...
