Extrusion at 450?C of hot compacted premixed aluminium alloy powder 7075 resulted in full density and banded microstructure with the average transverse grain size 13.6 ?m after T6 heat treatment. It increased mechanical properties to yield tensile stresses 457 492 MPa, respectively elongation 6.4 %. These meet requirements ASTM standard ASM for 7075T6 conventionally manufactured similar chemica...

Exposure of A-431 cells to epidermal growth factor (EGF) results in a rapid enhancement (approximately 10-fold) of cytosolic serine protein kinase activity. The increase in serine kinase activity may be detected using a number of peptide and protein substrates. Enhancement of kinase activity occurs within 1 min of exposure of the cells to EGF and reaches a maximum in 5 min. Similar results were...

Cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is a malignancy of epidermal keratinocytes that is responsible for ~20% of annual skin cancer-associated mortalities. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that the dysregulation of micro (mi)RNAs serves a significant role in the tumorigenesis and progression of human cSCC. MicroRNA-31 (miR-31) is upregulated in cSCC and is involved in cSCC development. How...

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder with indisputable evidence for a genetic component. This work studied the association of autism with genetic variations in neurotransmitter-related genes, including MAOA uVNTR, MAOB rs1799836, and DRD2 TaqI A in 53 autistic patients and 30 healthy individuals. The study also analyzed sequence variations of miR-431 and miR-21. MAOA uVNTR was genotyped by P...

Metabolic syndrome is a common disorder in Taiwan. For this study 431 subjects were randomly selected from visitors to the Department of Health Management. Blood pressure, blood glucose, lipid, uric acid levels and anthropometric measurements with immunoreactive insulin (IRI) and leptin levels were all correlated. We randomly selected 431 subjects who visited the Department of Health Management...
