The aim of this study was to explore the cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) RsaI/PstI polymorphism and risk of esophageal cancer (EC) in mainland Chinese populations. A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, CBM, CNKI and VIP databases for publications on the CYP2E1 RsaI/PstI polymorphism and risk of EC was performed. and the genotype data were analyzed in a meta-analysis. Odds ratios (...

We present a case of untreated type II odontoid fracture, which evolved in severe dislocation 18 months later. Delayed dislocations fractures are already reported literature. The singularity our is that CT-scan showed signs fusion the right C1-C2 articulation, could have required more complex surgical procedure to realign upper cervical spine. Surprisingly, CT scan performed extension position ...

Background: Ribonucleoproteins particles that form the spliceosomes are among the most frequently targeted molecules of the autoimmune response. In the last few years, autoantibodies against all A/B hnRNP proteins have been found in the sera of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), and serve as diagnostic markers for...

Article history: Received 14 March 2013 Accepted after revision 3 July 2013 Available online 29 July 2013 Presented by Yves Meyer We consider the one-dimensional John–Nirenberg inequality: ∣∣{x ∈ I0: ∣∣ f (x)− f I0 ∣∣>α}∣∣ C1|I0|exp ( − C2 ‖ f ‖∗ α ) . A. Korenovskii found that the sharp C2 here is C2 = 2/e. It is shown in this paper that if C2 = 2/e, then the best possible C1 is C1 = 2 e4/e. ©...

In this paper d2 degree of a vertex and total d2 -degree of a vertex in an intuitionistic fuzzy graphs are defined. Also (2, (c1, c2))-regularity and totally (2, (c1, c2))-regularity of an intuitionistic fuzzy graphs are defined. A relation between (2, (c1, c2))-regularity and totally (2, (c1, c2))-regularity on intuitionistic fuzzy graph is studied. (2, (c1, c2))regularity on a path on four ve...

• Dictatorship: ( 1, . . . , n) = 1 • Democracy: When |C| = 2, c1 ( 1, . . . , n) c2 iff |{i : c1 i c2}| ≥ |{i : c2 i c1}|. Theorem 4.3. When |C| = 2, majority voting is the only social welfare functional that is monotone (an agent’s preference change from c1 to c2 does not cause the global preference to change from c2 to c1) and symmetric with respect to agents (permuting the agents does not c...

Lemma 8. Given an m × m symmetric matrix A and a target rank k, we let C1 contain the c1 columns of A selected by a column sampling algorithm such that the following inequality holds: ∥∥A− PC1A∥∥2F ≤ f∥∥A−Ak∥∥2F . Then we select c2 = kf −1 columns to construct C2 and c3 = (c1+ c2) −1 columns to construct C3, both using the adaptive sampling according to the residual B1 = A − PC1A and B2 = A − P...

(a) The hypothesis states that f(n) ∈ Ω(g(n)), from which it follows that f(n) ≥ c1 · g(n), for some c1 > 0 and all n ≥ N1. Likewise, we have g(n) ∈ Ω(h(n)), which implies that g(n) ≥ c2 · h(n), for some c2 > 0 and all n ≥ N2. Observe that for all n ≥ N3 = max (N1, N2), we have f(n) ≥ c1 ·gn and g(n) ≥ c2 ·hn and therefore, f(n) ≥ c1 · c2 · h(n). Putting c3 = c1 · c2, we get f(n) ≥ c3 · h(n), f...

Given two concepts C1 and C2 with types T1 and T2, Garner and Tsui (1987) have proposed a modification of Sowa’s semantic distance between C1 and C2 as follows. Find the concept C3 which generalizes C1 and C2 with type T3 such that T3 is the most specific type which subsumes T1 and T2; the semantic distance between C1 and C2 is the sum of the distances from C1 to C3 and C2 to C3. It should be c...

We had previously demonstrated that a cellular protein specifically interacts with the 3' end of poliovirus negative-strand RNA. We now report the identity of this protein as heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) C1/C2. Formation of an RNP complex with poliovirus RNA was severely impaired by substitution of a lysine, highly conserved among vertebrates, with glutamine in the RNA recogn...
