Chansel, Dominique, Stanislas Czekalski, Sophie Vandermeersch, Emmanuel Ruffet, Marie-Claude FourniéZaluski, and Raymond Ardaillou. Characterization of angiotensin IV-degrading enzymes and receptors on rat mesangial cells. Am. J. Physiol. 275 (Renal Physiol. 44): F535– F542, 1998.—Because mesangial cells (MC) are a target and a degradation site for angiotensin II (ANG II), we characterized the ...

With the advancement of technology, social media has become a major source digital news due to its global exposure. This led an increase in spreading fake and misinformation online. Humans cannot differentiate from real because they can be easily influenced. A lot research work been conducted for detecting using Artificial Intelligence Machine Learning. large number deep learning models their a...

Using metaphase cytogenetics (MC), chromosomal abnormalities are found in only a proportion of patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). We hypothesized that with new precise methods more cryptic karyotypic lesions can be uncovered that may show important clinical implications. We have applied 250K single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) arrays (SNP-A) to study chromosomal lesions in samples ...

BACKGROUND Clinical presentation in microscopic colitis (MC) is similar in many cases to that of diarrhea-predominent irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D). The proper differential diagnosis requires total colonoscopy with multiple biopsies from normal-appearing mucosa and a detailed histopathological exam. Specific treatment may improve symptomatology. AIM To evaluate the prevalence of MC in pati...

Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is a potent chemokine that also has a direct growth-potentiating effect on certain tumors. In the present study, we determined IL-8 levels in human malignant mesothelioma (MM) effusions and congestive heart failure pleural fluids. We also investigated antigenic IL-8 production by different MM cell lines, and we describe the role of IL-8 in the autocrine growth regulation of...

BACKGROUND Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease caused by antibodies to acetylcholine receptors of the skeletal muscle. Myasthenic crisis (MC) is a complication observed during both early and late stage MG cases. In this study, we examined current treatments and three years outcomes in patients with MG and MC. We also investigated the impact of thymectomy and systemic lupus erythemat...

An efficient Monte Carlo (MC) algorithm including concerted rotations is directly compared to molecular dynamics (MD) in all-atom statistical mechanics folding simulations of small polypeptides. The previously reported algorithm "concerted rotations with flexible bond angles" (CRA) has been shown to successfully locate the native state of small polypeptides. In this study, the folding of three ...
