Effects of do** on the thermal stability of spindle-shaped γ-Fe2O3 particles
Spindle-shaped α-FeOOH particles were synthesized using the chemical coprecipitation method in Fe(CO3)x(OH)2(−x) suspensions system by adding metallic ions. The spindle-shaped γ-Fe2O3 particles were obtained by d...

TGFβ and bFGF synthesis and localization in Dupuytren's disease (nodular palmar fibromatosis) relative to cellular activity, myofibroblast phenotype and oncofetal variants of fibronectin
Nodular palmar fibromatosis is a self-limited proliferation of fibro-/myofibroblasts associated with growth factor synthesis and abundant fibronectin extracellular matrix deposition. bFGF and TGFβ are potent m...

Inactivation of p53 results in high rates of homologous recombination
Using a plasmid substrate which integrates into the genome, we determined that the rate of homologous recombination was suppressed by p53. Human tumor cell lines, mutant or null for p53 had recombination rates...

Evidence of ED-B+ fibronectin synthesis in human tissues by non-radioactive RNA in situ hybridization. Investigations on carcinoma (oral squamous cell and breast carcinoma), chronic inflammation (rheumatoid synovitis) and fibromatosis (Morbus Dupuytren)
The splicing variant of fibronectin containing the ED-B domain (oncofoetal fibronectin) occurs in foetal tissues, reparative processes, organ fibrosis and in tumour tissues. Consequently, a supportive effect ...

Expression of the transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase RPTPα in human oral squamous cell carcinoma
Little is known about the role of protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs), the cellular counterparts of protein-tyrosine kinases, both for normal growth regulation and for its dysregulation in cancer. The recept...

LacSwitchTM Inducible Mammalian Expression System in mouse Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts
Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts were transfected with the provided plasmids of LacSwitch™ Inducible Mammalian Expression System (Stratagene). Stable transfectants were selected, expanded and characterised. At first, the pr...

Hydrolysis of oligodeoxynucleotide phosphodiester linkages
The hydrolysis of 26-mer oligodeoxynucleotide (26-mer ODN) by cerium ions is reported. The process was analyzed by electrophoresis and the surface enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy (SERS). Ce3+ could be oxid...

Losartan inhibits myosin isoform shift after myocardial infarction in rats
Hypertrophy and heart failure following a myocardial infarction in rodents are accompanied by a switch of myosin isoforms from V1 to V3. The angiotensin II receptor blocker, Losartan, has been demonstrated to imp...

Force, Sarcomere Shortening Velocity and ATP-ASE Activity
We have tested the hypothesis that the transition rate (G) of the cardiac XB from the strong force generating state to the weak state is a linear function V of the sarcomere (VSL); furthermore, we tested whether ...

Resource Scheduling Algorithms for Grid Computing and Its Modeling and Analysis Using Petri Net
A resource scheduling algorithm called XMin-min is proposed in this paper. In the XMin-min algorithm, we consider not only the expected execution time of tasks, but also expected communication time when calcul...

Changes in serum interleukin-6 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein levels in patients with acute coronary syndrome and their responses to simvastatin
The role of inflammation in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and the mechanism by which statin treats ACS is explored. Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were measu...
