portant role in the development of tissue damage and pathological events in living organisms. Oxidative stress is found to implicate in several cardiovascular diseases, including septic shock, ischemic reperfusion injury, hear failure, atherosclerosis, hypertension and diabetes. Epidemiological studies have shown that dietary intake of polyphenol-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables is inve...

Cancer cell survival and metastasis are dependent on metabolic reprogramming that is capable of increasing resistance to oxidative and energetic stress. Targeting these two processes can be crucial for cancer progression. Herein, we describe the role of microRNA-661 (miR661) as epigenetic regulator of colon cancer (CC) cell metabolism. MicroR661 induces a global increase in reactive oxygen spec...

BACKGROUND Blue light is a high-energy or short-wavelength visible light, which induces retinal diseases such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa. Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) and lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea) contain high amounts of polyphenols (anthocyanins, resveratrol, and proanthocyanidins) and thus confer health benefits. This study aimed to determine t...

Congenital deficiency in coagulation factor XIII is a rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorder. Although the defect was characterized over 30 years ago, little is known about the molecular basis of the disorder. Here, we show two novel point mutations in the gene of the A-subunit of factor XIII in the genetically isolated population of Finland. All eight factor XIII-deficient families identif...

The problem is to determine the homography H up to similarity which maps a point or line from a plane in the world to the image plane x́ = Hx. This is to be done using two different methods. For the first method, the projective error is first removed followed by the affine error using the provided coordinates of a rectangle and an additional orthogonal line pair. For the second method, five orth...

We investigate the effect of employer job security guarantees on employee perceptions of job security. Using linked employer-employee data from the 1998 British Workplace Employee Relations Survey, we find job security guarantees reduce employee perceptions of job insecurity. This finding is robust to endogenous selection of job security guarantees by employers engaging in organisational change...
