Background: Metastasis and recurrence of colorectal cancer after treatment is attributed to stem cells. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the expression of stem cell marker CD166 in colorectal cancer by immunohistochemistry and clinicopathologic parameters.Methods: From 2006 to 2012, 121 colectomy specimens of patients with colon cancer that were operated in Babol...

Abstract Remarkable recent demonstrations of ultra-low-loss inhibited-coupling (IC) hollow-core photonic-crystal fibres (HCPCFs) established them as serious candidates for next-generation long-haul fibre optics systems. A hindrance to this prospect and also short-haul applications such micromachining, where stable high-quality beam delivery is needed, the difficulty in designing fabricating an ...

KT-geometry is the geometry of a Hermitian connection whose torsion is a 3-form. HKT-geometry is the geometry of a hyper-Hermitian connection whose torsion is a 3-form. We identify non-trivial conditions for a reduction theory for these types of geometry.

Using the in-viscid two-field reduced MHD model, a new analytical theory is developed to unify Hahm-Kulsrud-Taylor (HKT) linear solution and Rutherford quasi-linear regime. Adopting approach, we obtain closed system of equations for plasma response in static slab geometry. An integral form obtained forced magnetic reconnection, uniformly valid throughout entire regimes from HKT solution. In par...

Fresh mushrooms are vulnerable to browning and tissue changes after harvest. This study monitored the external appearance, physicochemical quality indicators, nutritional functional components of a white beech mushroom (Hypsizygus marmoreus) variety (EG2020) newly developed in Korea during cold storage for up 42 days. Two existing varieties H. marmoreus, namely H6 from HKT Japan, were used comp...

The Arabidopsis AtHKT1;1 protein was identified as a sodium (Na⁺) transporter by heterologous expression in Xenopus laevis oocytes and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, direct comparative in vivo electrophysiological analyses of a plant HKT transporter in wild-type and hkt loss-of-function mutants has not yet been reported and it has been recently argued that heterologous expression systems ma...

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) within the coding sequence of HKT transporters are important for the functioning of these transporters in several plant species. To unravel the functioning of HKT transporters analysis of natural variation and multiple site-directed mutations studies are crucial. Also the in vivo functioning of HKT proteins, via complementation studies performed with athkt...

Background The origin of hangekobokuto (HKT) is from Jin Gui Yao Lue (Kinkiyōryaku in Japanese), and it has been indicated for treating throat discomfort women. Key Findings HKT consists five crude drugs. Clinical studies have shown that can improve the swallowing reflex by increasing substance P level saliva; cough reflex; reduce pneumonia patients with dementia, cerebrovascular disease, Alzhe...

The paper is a survey of the recent theory of plurisubharmonic functions of quaternionic variables, together with its applications to the theory of valuations on convex sets and HKT-geometry (Hyper-Kähler with Torsion). The exposition follows some earlier papers by the author and a joint paper by Verbitsky and the author.

The family of plant membrane transporters named HKT (for High-affinity K + Transporters) can be subdivided into sub-families 1 and 2, which respectively comprise Na +-selective transporters and transporters able to function as Na +-K + symporters, at least when expressed in yeast or Xenopus oocytes. Surprisingly, a subfamily 2 member from rice (Oryza sativa),
