If the target of foreign language teaching is to use the language, communicative language teaching (CLT) seems to be an ideal teaching model. The goal of teaching with this method is to use the language as a medium of communication (Adi, 2012).The application of the communicative approach in teaching English as a foreign language, however, is associated with some problems that can cause the met...

Many geographical databases have been developed for different programs and applica tions/ but da ta acquisition and da ta sharing are still a big problem because no interoperability exists among these different da tabases. This study presents a GML (Geography Markup Language) approach to build a geographical da tabase in order to enable interoperability. As an open/ non-proprietary industry sta...

BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a therapeutic option for high-risk patients with aortic stenosis. Procedural mortality remains high in comparison with conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) because patients determined for TAVI are commonly denied conventional surgery. We aimed to evaluate access-related complications between the transfemoral (TF) and the transa...

Antibiotic TA is a macrocyclic secondary metabolite produced by myxobacteria that has broad-spectrum bactericidal activity. The structure of TA is unique, and its molecular target is unknown. Here, we sought to elucidate TA's mode of action (MOA) through two parallel genetic approaches. First, chromosomal Escherichia coli TA-resistant mutants were isolated. One mutant that showed specific resis...

OBJECTIVE Transluminal resection of the aortic valve was already successfully carried out by our group. The aim of this study was the analysis of the gross anatomy and the histology of the surrounding tissue after resection. METHODS Aortic valve resection was performed in postmortem human hearts (endoluminal (EL) n=9, transapical (TA) n=4). After deployment of the aortic valve isolation chamb...

Our study aimed to explore the differences in short and long-term outcomes about the transthoracic (TH) and abdominal-transhiatal (TH) approaches for treating esophagogastric junction (AEG). A systematic review of PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and CBMdisc was performed. All original articles comparing TH with TA were included in the study. Meta-analys...

PURPOSE Triamcinolone acetonide (TA) and dexamethasone (DEX) are corticosteroids commonly used for ocular inflammation, but both can cause ocular hypertension. In this study, the differential gene expression profile of human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells in response to treatment by TA in comparison with DEX was investigated. METHODS Total RNA was extracted from cultured human TM cells treate...
