The Zygosaccharomyces rouxii plasmid pSB3 is one of the yeast plasmids resembling 2-microns DNA. The presence of a cis-acting locus needed for stable maintenance of pSB3 has been expected by analogy with the functions encoded by other yeast plasmids such as 2-microns DNA and pSR1. We found such a locus and designated it STB-SB3. The STB-SB3 locus was delimited within 371 bp in a unique region o...

Human placental villi are surfaced by the syncytiotrophoblast (STB), with a layer of cytotrophoblasts (CTB) positioned just beneath the STB. STB in normal term pregnancies is exposed to maternal immune cells in the placental intervillous space. Extravillous cytotrophoblasts (EVT) invade the decidua and spiral arteries, where they act in conjunction with natural killer (NK) cells to convert the ...

PURPOSE To analyze the difference between measurements of Schirmer test I (STI) and basal Schirmer test (STB) with open and closed eyes. METHODS Sixty eyes of 30 normal volunteers, 12 males and 18 females aged 28 +/- 9 years were recruited for the study. All ST were carried out in a closed environment with the absence of airflow (humidity 60 +/- 2.34% and temperature 20.72 +/- 1.52 degrees C)...

The development of communication network has promoted the development of network multimedia. Nowadays, multimedia information can be displayed in various ways. Therefore, an efficient publication system is very necessary for users to distribute and display multimedia content fast and efficiently. To satisfy user's requirement, the set-top box (STB) based multimedia publication system is designe...

A field trial was conducted in Rabi season 2001-2002 at the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute’s Agricultural Research Station (BARI ARS) farm, Thakurgaon to evaluate a higher dose of K (66 kg K/ha) for maximizing yield of wheat and sustain soil native K level for wheat in north-western (NW) region of Bangladesh. To accomplish the objective, three levels of K (T1= K0, T2 = K66, and T3= ...

Circular plasmids in yeast carrying only an origin of DNA replication (ARS) exhibit maternal inheritance bias (MIB) and are poorly transmitted from mother to daughter cell during division. A variety of different sequences that overcome MIB have been described, including centromeric sequences (CEN), telomere-associated repeats, silencer sequences and a specific system encoded by the endogenous 2...

To determine the association between polymorphism of UGT1A1 gene and idiopathic hyperbilirubinemia in Iranian neonates. Fifty neonates with idiopathic hyperbilirubinemia and Serum total bilirubin (STB) more that 15mg/dl and 50 neonates with idiopathic hyperbilirubinemia and Serum total bilirubin (STB) less than 15mg/dl enrolled in this study. Thymine-adenine (TA)  repeats in the promoter region...

Although pluripotent stem cell (PSC) therapy has advantages for clinical applications because of the self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation abilities of PSCs, it also has disadvantages in terms of the potential for PSCs to undergo malignant transformation or unexpected differentiation. The prevention of teratoma formation is the largest hurdle of all. Despite intensive studies that have...
