Herein, we reported on the synthesis of cpIPP, which is a new structurally-reduced analogue of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR), a potent Ca2+-releasing secondary messenger that was firstly isolated from sea urchin eggs extracts. To obtain cpIPP the "northern" ribose of cADPR was replaced by a pentyl chain and the pyrophosphate moiety by a phophono-phosphate anhydride. The effect of the presence of th...

The prevalance of osteoporosis or osteopenia in Turkish population with ulcerative colitis (UC) at the diagnosis time has not been evaluated so far. Therefore we aimed to determine the prevelance and risk factors of decreased bone mineral density (BMD) in UC patients at the diagnosis time in Turkey. We retrospectively evaluated dexa results, demographic and clinical characteristics, and some bi...

abortion traditionally means miscarriage and is still known as a problem, which societies have been trying to reduce its rate by using legal means. despite the fact that  pregnant women and fetuses have been historically supported;  abortion  was firstly criminalized in 1926 in iran, 20 years after establishment of modern legal system. during next 53 years this situation changed dramatically, t...

background: we have previously reported that a 31 kda protein was screened from the excretory-secretory (es) proteins of tichinella spiralis muscle larvae (ml) by immunoproteomics using early infection sera, and the gene encoding a 31 kda protein from t. spiralis was cloned and expressed in an e. coli expression system. in this study, the recombinant 31 kda antigens were used for detection of a...

In this paper, we discuss the synchronization and anti-synchronization of two identical chaotic T-systems. The adaptive and nonlinear control schemes are used for the synchronization and anti-synchronization. The stability of these schemes is derived by Lyapunov Stability Theorem. Firstly, the synchronization and anti-synchronization are applied to systems with known parameters, then to systems...

BACKGROUND Acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (AHCVI) outbreaks have been described recently within defined areas worldwide among HIV-infected homosexual men. This study aims to describe the cumulative frequency and incidence of firstly acquired AHCVI in an HIV-infected population in Southern Spain. METHODS This is a retrospective study conducted at the Infectious Diseases Units of eight...

Iron-nickel (Fe-Ni) alloy nanoribbons were reported for the first time by deoxidizing NiFe2O4 nanoribbons, which were synthesized through a handy route of electrospinning followed by air-annealing at 450 °C, in hydrogen (H2) at different temperatures. It was demonstrated that the phase configurations, microstructures and magnetic properties of the as-deoxidized samples closely depended upon the...

The objective of this study was to investigate the pathogenicity and associated lesions of a new reovirus (ReoV) isolated from patients with Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in China. Twenty-five four-week-old BALB/c female mice inoculated intranasally with either ReoV (strain BYD1) alone, or ReoV combined with SARS-CoV (strain BJF) displayed ejecting fur and loss of body weight compare...

This paper presents a coupled Finite Element Model in order to study the vibrations in induction motors under steady-state. The model utilizes a weak coupling strategy between both magnetic and elastodynamic fields on the structure. Firstly, the problem solves the magnetic vector potential in an axial cut and secondly the former solution is coupled to a three dimensional model of the stator. Th...
