Previously, we have found that cancer cells survived from 5-Aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy (ALA-PDT) have abnormal mitochondrial function and suppressed cellular invasiveness. Here we report that both the mRNA expression level and enzymatic activity of histone deacetylase (HDAC) were elevated in the PDT-derived variants with dysfunctional mitochondria. The activated HDAC deac...

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is the most prevalent health problem, which is influenced by environmental and genetic factors with an increasing prevalence. The current systematic review is focused on mtDNA modification, including polymorphism and mutation/deletion, with a direct effect on DR.This systematic search was initially done through PubMed, Cochrane, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and Web of Science witho...

where S is the Landweber-Novikov algebra. S has the added advantage of being a cocommutative Hopf algebra over Z. This paper does not remove this difficulty, but we will show that the monoid of multiplicative operations in BP*BP, (i.e. those operations which induce ring endomorphisms on BP*X for any space X)9 which we will denote by Γ{BP), has a submonoid analogous to the monoid of multiplicati...

The "common" 4977 bp deletion in mitochondrial DNA (Delta4977) is commonly used as an indicator of tissue deterioration in ageing and bioenergetic diseases. Deletion levels are normally measured by a serial dilution polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approach, where test reactions are compared with dilutions of control amplifications of DNA from a similar sized stable region of the mitochondrial g...

This document discusses the issues associated with mobility management for dual stack mobile nodes. Currently, two mobility management protocols are defined for IPv4 and IPv6. Deploying both in a dual stack mobile node introduces a number of problems. Deployment and operational issues motivate the use of a single mobility management protocol. This document discusses such motivations. The docume...

در این پژوهش، تغییرات زمانی تپ‌های لیزری 2CO TEA که از اتاقکی حاوی گاز 6SF با فشار mbar 150-10 عبور می‌کند، شاریدگی‌های انرژی و فشارهای گازی مختلف بررسی شده است. نشان داده است برای هر شاریدگی، قطع معینی وجود دارد قطع، میخه تپ به طور کامل حذف می‌شود، درحالی دنباله دربرگیرنده کسر قابل توجهی اولیه آن است، برجامی‌ماند. شواهد تجربی برآمده داده‌های بیناب‌سنجی FTIR، گسست چندفوتونی مولکول‌های را پاسخگو...

BACKGROUND Few studies have directly compared the effectiveness of different emollients in vivo, and the important matter of patient preference is generally overlooked. METHODS We report the results of an assessor-blinded, bilateral, concurrent comparison of two emollient pharmaceutical presentations, ie, Doublebase gel (DB) and Aqueous cream BP (AC), applied by 20 participants three times da...
