This paper is a continuation of [Uniformities and covering properties for partial frames (I)], in which we make use of the notion of a partial frame, which is a meet-semilattice in which certain designated subsets are required to have joins, and finite meets distribute over these. After presenting there our axiomatization of partial frames, which we call $sels$-frames, we added structure, in th...

partial frames provide a rich context in which to do pointfree structured and unstructured topology. a small collection of axioms of an elementary nature allows one to do much traditional pointfree topology, both on the level of frames or locales, and that of uniform or metric frames. these axioms are sufficiently general to include as examples bounded distributive lattices, $sigma$-frames, $ka...

BACKGROUND Selenoprotein S (SelS) is a transmembrane protein that is expressed in the liver, skeletal muscle, adipose tissue, pancreatic islets, kidney, and blood vessels. In addition to its transmembrane localization, SelS is also secreted from hepatoma HepG2 cells (but not L6 skeletal muscle cells, 3T3-L1 adipocytes, Min6 pancreatic β cells and human embryonic kidney 293 cells) and has been d...

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is the primary cause of porcine circovirus disease, and ochratoxin A (OTA)-induced oxidative stress promotes PCV2 replication. In humans, selenoprotein S (SelS) has antioxidant ability, but it is unclear whether SelS affects viral infection. Here, we stably transfected PK15 cells with pig pCDNA3.1-SelS to overexpress SelS. Selenium (Se) at 2 or 4 μM and SelS ove...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS There is no evidence of postoperative metastasis of gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) smaller than 2 cm. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical usefulness of endoscopic ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) for gastric subepithelial lesions (SELs) smaller than 2 cm. PATIENTS AND METHODS Using a prospectively maintained EUS-FNA databas...

OBJECTIVE To study the reliability of a proving methodology and the reproducibility of proving symptoms. METHODS Two homeopathic medicines and placebo were given, in a double-blind randomized design, to 31 healthy volunteers (13 Piper methysticum 30C, 11 placebo and 7 Plumbum metallicum 30C), 5 drops 4 times daily, until the onset of unbearable symptoms, or at most for 1 week. The primary out...

OBJECTIVE selenoprotein S (SelS) gene polymorphism is closely related to a variety of malignant tumours. Here, we evaluate the association between SelS polymorphism and genetic susceptibility to gastric cancer. METHODS A case-control study was conducted to investigate the role of two SelS single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the susceptibility to gastric cancer. The genotypes and genotyp...

Long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) have been suggested as playing important roles in human gene regulation. The majority of annotated human lincRNAs include multiple exons and are alternatively spliced. However, the connections between alternative RNA splicing (AS) and the functions/regulations of lincRNAs have remained elusive. In this study, we compared the sequence evolution and biolo...
