Cell-mediated immunity (CMI) to autologous breast can cer tissue was measured by means of skin window (SW) and leukocyte migration tests (LMT's). Simultaneous measurements were made of the in vitro (LMT) reactivity to Rlll-murine mammary tumor virus, virions and/or puri fied glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 55,000. Among clinically disease-free patients tested 6 to 12 months postoperativ...

BACKGROUND Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using transient elastography (FibroScan®) can assess liver fibrosis noninvasively. This study investigated whether LSM can predict the development of liver-related events (LREs) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients showing histologically advanced liver fibrosis. METHODS Between March 2006 and April 2010, 128 CHB patients with who underwent LSM and...

Accurate and reliable documentation of Language Resources is an undisputable need: documentation is the gateway to discovery of Language Resources, a necessary step towards promoting the data economy. Language resources that are not documented virtually do not exist: for this reason every initiative able to collect and harmonise metadata about resources represents a valuable opportunity for the...

After denervation of muscle, motor axons reinnervate original synaptic sites. A recombinant fragment of the synapse specific laminin beta 2 chain (s-laminin) was reported to inhibit motor axon growth. Consequently, a specific sequence (leucine-arginine-glutamate, LRE) of the laminin beta 2 chain was proposed to act as a stop signal and to mediate specific reinnervation at the neuromuscular junc...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the Fibrosis (FIB)-4 index as a predictor of major liver-related events (LRE) and liver-related death (LRD) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type-1 patients initiating combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). DESIGN Retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort study. SETTING Italian HIV care centers participating to the ICONA Foundation cohort. PARTICIPANTS ...

We studied MRI findings in patients with symptomatic localization-related epilepsy (S-LRE) beginning in infancy and early childhood and their relation to some clinical features. MRI findings were investigated in 183 patients with S-LRE beginning before 6 years of age. S-LRE was defined as an epileptic syndrome manifesting with only partial seizures at least for a certain period during the clini...

We have studied the roles of PhyA, PhyB and CRY1 photoreceptors and the downstream light-signaling components, COP1 and DET1, in mediating high-irradiance light-controlled activity of promoters containing synthetic light-responsive elements (LRE). Promoters with paired LREs were able to respond to a wide spectrum of light through multiple photoreceptors, while the light-inducible single LRE pro...

Abstract. The wetland of Liao River estuary (LRE) in northeastern China is one the best-preserved wetlands across globe. However, it extremely vulnerable to hydrological changes as well other disturbances, particularly upstream river discharges and reclamation from anthropogenic activities. In this study, a 3D hydrodynamic model was used reproduce flow patterns LRE explore variation salinity un...
