Some of the main reasons which prevents the deployment of IP multicast are forwarding state scalability and control explosion problems. In this paper, we propose an algorithm called Q-STA (QoS Scalable Tree Aggregation) which reduces the number of forwarding states by allowing several groups to share the same tree. Q-STA accepts groups only if there is enough available bandwidth. Q-STA accepts ...

A complex glycophorin (GP) variant of the human red blood cell membrane exhibiting both He and Sta antigens was characterized at the molecular level. Restriction mapping identified two novel Msp I fragments derived from the 5' and 3' portions of the GPHe(Sta) gene, respectively. Genomic DNA, including exons II-V and their splice junctions, was amplified by polymerase chain reaction, and the nuc...

OBJECTIVE The purposes of this study were to introduce a superficial temporal artery (STA)-sparing mini-pterional approach for the treatment of cerebral aneurysms and review the surgical results of this approach. METHODS Between June 2010 and December 2015, we performed the STA-sparing mini-pterional approach for 117 patients with 141 unruptured intracranial aneurysms. We analyzed demographic...

An aspartate-to-alanine point mutation in the catalytic domain (D853A) of guanylyl cyclase-C (GC-C), the heat-stable enterotoxin (STa) receptor, rendered the enzyme catalytically inactive. Mn2+/Triton X-100-stimulated guanylyl cyclase activity was detected in membranes from COS7 cells overexpressing GC-C but not GC-CD853A. STa treatment of paired cells resulted in cGMP production in those trans...

BACKGROUND Green tea intake has been shown to improve endurance capacity in animal studies, but whether it has a similar effect on humans remains unclear. A randomized, double-blinded, parallel-controlled study was conducted to evaluate the short-term effect of STA-2, a pharmaceutical preparation of green tea polyphenols, in patients with effort-induced angina and documented positive exercise t...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to validate the superior thyroidal artery mean peak systolic velocity (STA-mPSV) as an alternative to other diagnostic parameters in the differentiation of the causes of thyrotoxicosis in Korean patients. METHODS This study was conducted with newly diagnosed and untreated thyrotoxic patients. Forty patients were diagnosed with Graves disease (GD) and 20 patie...

BACKGROUND The novel water soluble compound STA-1474 is metabolized to ganetespib (formerly STA-9090), a potent HSP90 inhibitor previously shown to kill canine tumor cell lines in vitro and inhibit tumor growth in the setting of murine xenografts. The purpose of the following study was to extend these observations and investigate the safety and efficacy of STA-1474 in dogs with spontaneous tumo...

BACKGROUND BRAF mutation is an important diagnostic and prognostic marker in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). To be applicable in clinical laboratories with limited equipment, diverse testing methods are required to detect BRAF mutation. METHODS A shifted termination assay (STA) fragment analysis was used to detect common V600 BRAF mutations in 159 PTCs with DNAs extracted fro...
