Radiation therapy for variety of human solid tumors utilizes mechanism of cell death after DNA damage caused by radiation. In response to DNA damage, cytochrome c was released from mitochondria by activation of pro-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins, and then elicits massive Ca(2+) release from the ER that lead to cell death. It was also suggested that irradiation may cause the deregulation of Ca(...

improved the prognosis of IA patients. However, the high mortality, the increasing incidence of systemic fungal infections and rising medical costs have made prevention of fungal spore exposure by environmental protection a crucial challenge [2]. Guidelines from the National Agency for Health Accreditation and Evaluation (Agence Nationale d ’ Accr é ditation et d ’ Evaluation en Sant é [ANAES])...

People who have migraine experience intermittent attacks of unilateral, pulsating, and moderate to severe headache with associated nausea or photophobia and phonophobia (or all these symptoms). These attacks typically start before the age of 40, often in childhood or teenage years, and occur most commonly from the second to the fourth decade of life. Attacks may be infrequent or frequent. Chron...

For practical applications, increasing the photosensitivity, response speed, and selectivity of UV photodetectors is a prerequisite. Many research studies on Si-based photodiodes, the most common devices for UV detection, have been conducted to improve their photosensitivity. The calculated photoresponsivities of these devices were typically less than 10 A W . Although these studies showed an i...

Introduzione: nel marzo 2003 in regione Campania, è stata condotta un’inchiesta tra 100 specialisti in chirurgia generale e membri della Società Napoletana di Chirurgia (S.Na.C.), al fine di capire l’andamento sul tipo di trattamento chirurgico eseguito per curare la malattia emorroidaria. Materiali e metodi: L’inchiesta è stata eseguita inviando un questionario di 13 domande a 100 chirurghi re...

Recent results have demonstrated the feasibility of quasi-real-time, active as well as harmless microwave imaging for biomedical purposes. Such a pkreess allows tomographic reconstructions based on differences in the complex permittivity of tissues, the temperature dependence of which can be used for remote thermaf sensing. A basic experiment conducted in water at 3-GH2 yielded information on s...

The conditions experienced early in life can strongly influence life-history trajectories in a variety of animal species. Here, we use data from four isolated populations of the endangered stream-dwelling salmonid marble trout (Salmo marmoratus Cuvier 1817) living in the Soca and Idrijca river basins (Slovenia) to explore the influence of the total density experienced during and after the first...
