Objective The present study was undertaken to time pregnancy (TTP) and factors associated with TTP in women axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) compared rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods We included 274 SpA 317 RA from the Norwegian nationwide registry RevNatus. For all women, we had retrospectively collected data on TTP, a subgroup also prospectively data. using Kaplan‐Meier plots log rank test. To...

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) facilitate post-transcriptional control of eukaryotic gene expression at multiple levels. The RBP tristetraprolin (TTP/Zfp36) is a signal-induced phosphorylated anti-inflammatory protein guiding unstable mRNAs of pro-inflammatory proteins for degradation and preventing translation. Using iCLIP, we have identified numerous mRNA targets bound by wild-type TTP and by a ...

Tristetraprolin (TTP) is the prototype of a family of CCCH tandem zinc finger proteins that can bind to AU-rich elements in mRNAs and promote their decay. TTP binds to mRNA through its central tandem zinc finger domain; it then promotes mRNA deadenylation, considered to be the rate-limiting step in eukaryotic mRNA decay. We found that TTP and its related family members could bind to certain iso...

OBJECTIVE The time to positivity (TTP) of blood cultures in patients with bloodstream infections (BSIs) has been considered to be a possible prognostic tool for some bacterial species. However, notable differences have been found between sampling designs and statistical methods in published studies to date, which makes it difficult to compare results or to derive reliable conclusions. Our objec...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (PWI) is a reliable and semiquantitative method for estimating cerebral hemodynamics. We sought to evaluate the potential of PWI for assessing cerebral blood flow (CBF) and metabolism compared with positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with chronic occlusive carotid disease. METHODS In 24 patients with chronic unila...

Reactions of tin porphyrins with vicinal diols were investigated. Treatment of (TTP)Sn(CCPh)(2) or (TTP)Sn(NHtolyl)(2) with pinacol and 2,3-diphenylbutane-2,3-diol afforded diolato complexes (TTP)Sn[OC(Me)(2)C(Me)(2)O] (1) and (TTP)Sn[OC(Ph)(Me)C(Ph)(Me)O] (2), respectively. Both complexes underwent C-C cleavage reactions to give (TTP)Sn(II) and ketones. Reaction of (TTP)Sn(CCPh)(2) with 1 equi...

Tristetraprolin (TTP) is an RNA-binding protein that post-transcriptionally suppresses gene expression by delivering mRNA cargo to processing bodies (P-bodies) where the mRNA is degraded. TTP functions as a tumor suppressor in a mouse model of B cell lymphoma, and in some human malignancies low TTP expression correlates with reduced survival. Here we report important prognostic and functional r...

The Traveling Tournament Problem (TTP) is a hard but interesting sports scheduling problem inspired by Major League Baseball, which to design double round-robin schedule such that each pair of teams plays one game in other’s home venue, minimizing the total distance traveled all n (n even). In this paper, we consider TTP-2, i.e., TTP with more constraint team can have at most two consecutive ga...

conclusions based on the results of this study, we suggest the use of a novel “time from the beginning of isovolumetric contraction to the peak of the s wave” (ttp) parameter in the tdi of the base of the rv free wall to predict ph with acceptable accuracy in comparison with rhc. results in our study, the ttp showed a significant inverse relationship with the pap. based on our results, a ttp of...
