Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria results from mutations of the renal type IIc Na-P(i) cotransporter gene, suggesting that the type IIc transporter plays a prominent role in renal phosphate handling. The goal of the present study was to investigate the regulation of the type IIc Na-P(i) cotransporter by parathyroid hormone (PTH). Type IIc Na-P(i) cotransporter levels were ...

Dietary phosphate levels regulate the renal brush-border type IIa Na-Pi cotransporter. Another Na-Pi cotransporter, type IIc, colocalizes with type IIa Na-Pi cotransporter in the apical membrane of renal proximal tubular cells. The goal of the present study was to determine whether dietary phosphate levels also rapidly regulate the type IIc Na-Pi cotransporter. Type IIa and type IIc transporter...

The type IIc Na(+)-dependent phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-IIc) is specifically targeted to, and expressed on, the apical membrane of renal proximal tubular cells and mediates phosphate transport. In the present study, we investigated the signals that determine apical expression of NaPi-IIc with a focus on the role of the N- and the C-terminal tails of mouse NaPi-IIc in renal epithelial cells [...

The present study describes two novel compound heterozygous mutations, c.410C>T(p.T137M) (T137M) on the maternal and g.4225_50del on the paternal allele of SLC34A3, in a previously reported male with hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) and recurrent kidney stones (Chen C, Carpenter T, Steg N, Baron R, Anast C. Pediatrics 84: 276-280, 1989). For functional analysis in ...

Author investigated the cell infiltrative activity, cell growth and cell proliferative activity of flat type colorectal cancer. Tissue specimens were obtained by surgery. These specimens were examined in expression of CD44 for the evaluation of cell infiltrative activity and Ki67 for growing cell, and then double-staining for AgNORs and Ki67 was performed to evaluate proliferative activity in g...

BACKGROUND Ictal-interictal continuum (IIC) continuous EEG (cEEG) patterns including periodic discharges and rhythmic delta activity are associated with poor outcome and in the appropriate clinical context, IIC patterns may represent "electroclinical" status epilepticus (SE). To clarify the significance of IIC patterns and their relationship to "electrographic" SE, we investigated FDG-PET imagi...

Infection of Escherichia coli by bacteriophage lambda depends on two membrane protein complexes: (i) maltoporin (LamB) in the outer membrane for adsorption and (ii) the IIC(Man)-IID(Man) complex of the mannose transporter in the inner membrane for DNA penetration. IIC(Man) and IID(Man) are components of the phosphoenolpyruvate: sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) which together with the IIAB(...

Phase I: October 1990–August 1991 The project commenced with the assumption that the proposed model Integrated Information Center (IIC) would be implemented. As originally envisioned in the proposal, the IIC was to have taken the lead in the management of the information technologies and resources of the two academic units. The management of the information systems functions within those academ...

We study Input Indistinguishable Computation (IIC), a security notion proposed by Micali, Pass, and Rosen in [14] and recently considered also by Garg, Goyal, Jain and Sahai in [9]. IIC aims at generalizing the notion of a Witness Indistinguishable (WI) proof system to general two-party functionalities and in its concurrent version (cIIC) also considers security against man-in-the-middle (MiM) ...

A public health crisis in the process of brownfield land redevelopment (BLR) has frequently appeared in the context of promoting industrial upgrading and de-industrialization in China. Recent discussions on the reasons for this problem centered on the lack of laws, standards, and policies needed to secure the process of BLR. However, we argue that an urban governance approach to BLR can identif...
