background: molecular genetic factors regulating hemoglobin f (hb f) expression are important modifiers of the severity of sickle cell anemia (ss).   methods: the prevalence of xmni polymorphic site, the g g: a g ratio and the hb f level were determined using pcr-rflp procedure, hplc and alkaline denaturation method, respectively, in various haplotypes of 52 patients with ss, 18 patients with s...

This study tested the hypothesis that retarded and normal children of the same MA differ in their performance on a partially reinforced 3-choice learning task because they have differing expectancies of success. The performance of 60 normal lower-class (low expectancy) and 60 normal middleclass (high expectancy) Ss were compared with that of 60 noninstitutionalized retardates. J of the Ss in ea...

In this paper, we introduce some properties of an intuitionistic normal fuzzy m-subgroup of m- group with m-homomorphism and isomorphism. We study he image, the pre-image and the inverse mapping of the intuitionistic normal fuzzy m-‎subgroups.‎

OBJECTIVE To determine the oral status, salivary flow rate, Candida carriage in saliva, and prevalence of Candida albicans colonization in several areas of the mouth in patients with primary and secondary Sjögren's syndrome as opposed to those of healthy subjects. STUDY DESIGN Thirty-seven patients with Sjögren's syndrome (SS), [14 patients with primary SS (SS-1) and 23 patients with secondar...

a normal subgroup $n$ of a group $g$ is said to be an‎ ‎$emph{omissible}$ subgroup of $g$ if it has the following property‎: ‎whenever $xleq g$ is such that $g=xn$‎, ‎then $g=x$‎. ‎in this note we construct various groups $g$‎, ‎each of which has an omissible subgroup $nneq 1$ such that $g/ncong sl_2(k)$ where $k$ is a field of positive characteristic‎.

Sjögren syndrome (SS) is commonly known to be correlated with lymphoma. This study included 16,396 individuals in the SS cohort and 65,584 individuals in the non-SS cohort, all of whom were enrolled in the Taiwan National Health Insurance database between 2000 and 2010. We evaluated the risk factors of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in the primary SS cohort by applying a Cox multivariable proport...

Sound stress (SS) elicits behavioral changes, including pain behaviors. However, the neuronal mechanisms underlying SS-induced pain behaviors remain to be explored. The current study examined the effects of SS on nociceptive behaviors and changes in expression of the spinal corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) system in male Sprague Dawley rats with and without thermal pain. We also studied the...
