Somatostatin (SST) is a gut peptide that is able to inhibit the growth of tumor cells in gastric cancer and other types of cancer. The present study investigated the mRNA and protein levels of SST and SST receptors (SSTRs) in human gastric cancer, and detected the DNA methylation of the SST promoter. The protein levels of SST were detected using a radioimmunoassay in 102 human gastric tissue sp...

[1] A molecular organic geochemical proxy (TEX86) for sea surface temperature (SST) is compared with a foraminifera‐based SST proxy (Mg/Ca) in a decadal‐resolution marine sedimentary record spanning the last 1000 years from the Gulf of Mexico. We assess the relative strengths of the organic and inorganic paleoceanographic techniques for reconstructing high‐resolution SST variability during rece...

background: to validate the persian version of the simple shoulder test in patients with shoulder joint problems.   methods: following beaton`s guideline, translation and back translation was conducted. we reached to a consensus on the persian version of sst. to test the face validity in a pilot study, the persian sst was administered to 20 individuals with shoulder joint conditions. we enrolle...

All marine organisms are affected to some extent by the movement and thermal properties of oceanic currents. However phytoplankton, because of its small size is most directly coupled to the physical environment. The intense hydrodynamic activity observed in the Northwest Atlantic Shelves Province makes this region especially intriguing from the point of view of physical-biological interactions....

BACKGROUND Somatostatin (SS)-binding sites have been demonstrated in human lymphoid tissues and peripheral blood cells. However, not much is known with respect to the SS receptor subtype (sst) expression pattern and the expression of SS itself in the immune system. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the mRNA expression of the five known sst (sst(1-5)) in peripheral blood mononucl...

We investigate the climate feedback parameter α (W m−2 K−1) during the historical period (since 1871) in experiments using the HadGEM2 and HadCM3 atmosphere general circulation models (AGCMs) with constant preindustrial atmospheric composition and time-dependent observational sea surface temperature (SST) and sea ice boundary conditions. In both AGCMs, for the historical period as a whole, the ...

Here we present an equation for the estimation of nitrate in surface waters of the North Atlantic Ocean (40◦N to 52◦ N, 10◦W to 60◦W). The equation was derived by multiple linear regression (MLR) from nitrate, sea surface temperature (SST) observational data and model mixed layer depth (MLD) data. The observational data were taken from merchant vessels that have crossed the North Atlantic on a ...

This study presents the direct relationships between changes in annual surface temperature of North Atlantic (SST) and number days per year experiencing low flows Warta River catchment (WRC) Central Europe, Poland, multi-annual period 1951–2020. The (TLF) was used to describe conditions hydrological drought WRC. Moderately strong (r~0.5) but statistically highly significant (p < 0.001) were ...

[1] Given the importance of Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) snowpack as the primary driver of streamflow (water supply) for the southwestern United States, the identification of Pacific Ocean climatic drivers (e.g., sea surface temperature (SST) variability) may prove valuable in long‐lead‐time forecasting of snowpack in this critical region. Previous research efforts have identified El Niño–...

The validation of sea surface temperature (SST) retrieved from the new sensor Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) onboard the Suomi National Polar-Orbiting Partnership (S-NPP) Satellite is essential for the interpretation, use, and improvement of the new generation SST product. In this study, the magnitude and characteristics of uncertainties in S-NPP VIIRS SST produced by the Nav...
