Two monoclonal antibodies, MLS 102, which recognizes cancer-associated mucin antigens, and MLS 103, which recognizes normal mucin, were used to isolate, by immunoaffinity chromatography, the corresponding antigens from cell lysates and spent medium of a human colorectal carcinoma cell line, LS 180. The MLS 102 antigen contained serine, threonine, and proline as major amino acids. The carbohydra...

Background and Objectives: Staphylococcus aureus is an important cause of nosocomial and community-acquired infections in every region of the world. Clindamycin is one of the alternative agents used to treat S. aureus infections and accurate identification of clindamycin resistance is important to prevent therapeutic failure. Unfortunately, inducible clindamycin resistance is ...

Brain CT has become a standard imaging tool for emergent evaluation of brain condition, and measurement of midline shift (MLS) is one of the most important features to address for brain CT assessment. We present a simple method to estimate MLS and propose a new alternative parameter to MLS: the ratio of MLS over the maximal width of intracranial region (MLS/ICWMAX). Three neurosurgeons and our ...

CONCLUSION Quantitative gustatory alterations are rare after microlaryngoscopy (MLS), whereas transient qualitative taste distortions occur more often. Patients undergoing MLS should know that mild but transient qualitative taste disorders may occur. OBJECTIVE Suspension MLS requires neck extension and tongue compression. Little is known about taste disorders following MLS. To investigate qua...

Method level speculation (MLS) is an optimistic technique for parallelizing imperative programs, for which a variety of MLS systems and optimizations have been proposed. However, runtime performance strongly depends on the interaction between program structure and MLS system design choices, making it difficult to compare approaches or understand in a general way how programs behave under MLS. H...

In this paper we propose and demonstrate a method to obtain simultaneous dual source-receiver impulse responses in acoustical systems using binary maximum-length sequences (MLS). A binary MLS and its reversed-order sequence form a reciprocal MLS pair. Their correlation property includes a two-valued "pulse-like" autocorrelation function and a relatively smaller-valued cross-correlation function...

The event-condition-action paradigm (also known as triggers or rules) is a powerful technology. It gives a database “active” capabilities – the ability to react automatically to changes in the database or in the environment. One potential use of this technology is in the area of multilevel secure (MLS) data processing, such as, military, where the subjects and objects are classified into differ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the therapeutic and protective effects of molsidomine (MLS) against doxorubicin (DOX)-induced renal damage in rats. METHODS Forty rats were randomly divided into five groups (control, MLS, DOX, DOX+MLS and MLS+DOX groups). Thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS), reduced glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ...

Aims To compare changes in gait kinematics and walking speed 24 months after conventional (C-MLS) minimally invasive (MI-MLS) multilevel surgery for children with diplegic cerebral palsy (CP). Methods A retrospective analysis of 19 following C-MLS, mean age at 12 years five (seven ten to 15 11 months), 36 MI-MLS, seven one month 14 was performed. The Gait Profile Score (GPS) were collected preo...
