Identification of functional polymorphisms in the UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 2B7 (UGT2B7) gene predicting interpatient variability in the glucuronidation of drugs that are primarily metabolized by UGT2B7 has been the subject of many studies. These studies have shown linkage disequilibrium (LD) covering the region from 22 kb to 16 kb of the UGT2B7 gene. We identified three novel single-nucleoti...

Background: Although hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance have been hypothesized to be involved in pancreatic carcinogenesis, studies that have examined glycemic load or individual dietary components that influence glucose concentrations yielded inconclusive results. Objective: Our objective was to investigate whether dietary insulin load and dietary insulin index are associated with the ris...

A mathematical definit on of an information network is constructed with the purpose of developing a theory useful in answering practical questions concerning information transfer. An information network inCludes: (1) use,-s, (2) inf rmation resources, (3) information centers, and (4) the total information transfer structure linking (1), (2), and (3). Emphasis is placed on the message transfer s...

INTRODUCTION While NTM infection is mainly acquired from environmental exposure, monitoring of environmental niches for NTM is not a routine practice. This study aimed to find the prevalence of environmental NTM in soil and water in four highly populated suburbs of Tehran, Iran. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 4014 samples from soil and water resources were collected and studied. Sediments of...

Directed evolution in microbial organisms provides an experimental approach to molecular evolution in which selective forces can be controlled and favorable mutations analyzed at the molecular level. Here we present an analysis of a mutation selected in Escherichia coli in response to growth in a chemostat in which the limiting nutrient was gluconate. The selectively favored mutation, designate...

This study investigated the effects of delay of reinforcement on the classroom academic behaviors (rate of increase and accuracy of mathematical problem coapletion) by elementary students. A total of 11 fourth graders with a history of low achievement in arithmetic were divided into two groups and given timed arithmetic tests daily. Three reinforcement conditions were used (immediate, 1-day del...

Aims. We report the detection of an unusually high lithium content in HD 232 862, a field giant classified as a G8II star, and hosting a magnetic field. Methods. With the spectropolarimeters ESPaDOnS at CFHT and NARVAL at TBL, we have collected high resolution and high signal-to-noise spectra of three giants : HD 232 862, KU Peg and HD 21 018. From spectral synthesis we have inferred stellar pa...
