The generic classification of the Australian Byrrhinae is revised and the following new genera are described: Notolioon gen. n., Nothochaetes gen. n., Idiothrix gen. n., Akidomorychus gen. n., Brachybyrrhulus gen. n. and Pseudomorychus gen. n. A key is provided for the genera of Australian Byrrhidae. The following new combinations are proposed: Notolioon atronitens (Lea 1920) comb. n., N. bryop...

Carbohydrate antigen (CA) 19-9 identified by a murine monoclonal antibody against a colorectal carcinoma antigen is thought to be a sialylated Lewis (Le)a blood group antigen and occurs in high concentration in serum of patients with pancreatic carcinoma. This study was designed to identify the relationship between Lewis antigens and CA 19-9 in patients with pancreatic cancer. The following ana...

—In recent two years, zero correlation linear cryptanalysis has shown its great potential in cryptanalysis and it has proven to be effective against massive ciphers. LEA is a block cipher proposed by Deukjo Hong, who is the designer of an ISO standard block cipher HIGHT. This paper evaluates the security level on LEA family ciphers against zero correlation linear cryptanalysis. Firstly, we ide...

The Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) proteins in plants are basically related with water deficiency. Recent studies showed that LEA proteins might be molecular chaperones regulating many physiological functions. In this study, LEA proteins were analyzed in model grass Brachypodium distachyon L. The data represented here may help to further analyze the LEA genes in model grass Brachypodium in o...

OBJECTIVE To compare risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in people with a lower-extremity amputation (LEA) attributable to diabetes and people without an LEA. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Strong Heart Study is a study of CVD and its risk factors in 13 American-Indian communities. LEA was ascertained at baseline by direct examination of the legs and feet. Mortality ...

The CA 19-9 antigen is a monosialosyl Lea blood group antigen which has been shown to be a useful tumor-associated antigen for the diagnosis of gastrointestinal cancers. Recently, a sialylated derivative of this antigen, disialosyl Lea, was isolated from a colon cancer liver metastasis and a monoclonal antibody (FH7) recognizing this novel determinant was developed. The present study simultaneo...
