We conducted three experiments to determine the sulfur amino acid (SAA) and methionine requirements of finishing gilts. Gilts (PIC Line 326 x C-15, Exp. 1; Line 326 x C-22, Exp. 2 and 3) were blocked by initial weight in randomized complete block designs. In Exp. 1, 64 gilts (initially 54 kg) were fed diets containing either .56 or .44% apparent digestible lysine with increasing SAA levels (63,...

Little is known of microRNA interactions with cellular pathways. Few reports have associated microRNAs with the Notch pathway, which plays key roles in nervous system development and in brain tumors. We previously implicated the Notch pathway in gliomas, the most common and aggressive brain tumors. While investigating Notch mediators, we noted microRNA-326 was upregulated following Notch-1 knoc...

European, national, and regional policies have promoted slow routes in recent decades. This paper aims to define a multi-scale method use these promote the identities of rural places. The develops (i) GIS-based network analysis boundaries service area route then (ii) participatory strategy its identity.

We have designed and synthesized two radioiodinated analogs of hexadecylphosphocholine in order to evaluate their tumor imaging potential. 12-(m[125I]iodophenyl)dodecyl phosphocholine (NM-324) and hexadecyl-2-[N,N-dimethyl-N-(m[125I]iodobenzyl)-ammonium] ethyl phosphate (NM-326) demonstrated the ability of such compounds to localize in and thereby visualize the Walker 256 tumor in rats. However...

During the course o f our studies on the lipid composition o f macrophage membranes, it was noted that 25% of the total fatty acid content of this cell was composed of arachidonie acid (20:4)) Similar values have been reported for both rabbit (1) and h u m a n mononuclear phagocytes (2), whereas the fatty acid complement of most other cell types rarely exceeds a few percent. This unusual enrich...

Platelets play crucial roles in hemostasis, thrombosis, wound healing, inflammation, angiogenesis, and tumor metastases. Because they are anucleated blood cells, platelets lack nuclear DNA, but they do contain mitochondrial DNA, which plays a key role in regulating apoptosis. Recent evidence has suggested that miRNAs are also involved in regulating gene expression and apoptosis in platelets. Ou...
