Mannitol-specific enzyme II, or mannitol permease, of the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent carbohydrate phosphotransferase system of Escherichia coli carries out the transport and phosphorylation of D-mannitol and is most active as a dimer in the membrane. We recently reported the importance of a glutamate residue at position 257 in the binding and transport of mannitol by this protein (C. Saracen...

Small Bowel transplantation in rats is a highly complex microsurgical procedure because several technical complications may lead to recipient mortality and transplant failure. Our aim was to report the most common complications associated with orthotopic and heterotopic intestinal transplantation in rats in order to identify the “pitfalls” of the procedure and prevent them. A retrospective mult...

Preface This report gives an overview of the queueing problems addressed in the COST 257 action on " Impacts of new services on the architecture and performance of broadband networks ". Typically, these problems arise in modelling the behavior of the queues appearing in multiplexers, traffic shapers, resequencing units or at the output ports of switching elements. In the report, the evident dis...

The present study aimed to investigate the association between epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations and excision repair cross-complementing protein 1 (ERCC1) and ribonucleotide reductase subunit M1 (RRM1) mRNA expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue. The quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect EGFR mutations, and ERCC1 and RRM1 mRNA expression...

This paper investigates the practical security of RC4 in broadcast setting where the same plaintext is encrypted with different user keys. We introduce several new biases in the initial (1st to 257th) bytes of the RC4 keystream, which are substantially stronger than known biases. Combining the new biases with the known ones, a cumulative list of strong biases in the first 257 bytes of the RC4 k...

Pulmonary embolism, an emergency that can have fatal Introduction: consequences, can be presented with a common symptom that can be missed, such as syncope. We present a case of a young, low-risk male who Case presentation: presented with attacks of syncope and dyspnea followed by massive pulmonary embolism. We also review the pathophysiology of syncope in pulmonary embolism cases and strategy ...

Biological substances with neurotrophic activities, such as nerve growth factor (NGF) and monosialoganglioside GM1, have been considered as agents for diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Because recent studies have suggested that decreased availability of these substances might contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, some clinical trials of NGF for diabetic peripheral neur...

OBJECTIVE The overproduction of vascular NO contributes toward the circulatory collapse observed in patients with septic shock. Dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase (DDAH), which has 2 isoforms, metabolizes asymmetrically methylated arginines (asymmetric mono- or di-methylarginine), endogenously produced NO synthase inhibitors. We wished to investigate whether reducing DDAH1 activity, using ...
