Ischemia-reperfusion results in contractile dysfunction, necrosis, and vascular injury. This postischemic injury is mediated in part by superoxide radical production, neutrophils, dysfunction to ionic pumps, and edema formation. Adenosine is an autacoid released tonically by myocytes, endothelium,

Extraspinal ependymoma is a rare tumor, occurring most commonly in the sacrococcygeal region, and only a small number of cases have been reported to arise in the uterine ligament. Herein is reported a case of extraspinal ependymoma arising in the broad ligament of a 27-year-old woman. The lesion was

The genome of the broad bean necrosis virus Oita-isolate (BBNV-O) [RNA1 (6.0 kb), RNA2 (2.8 kb) and RNA3 (2.4 kb)] was cloned and sequenced. Computer analysis indicates that methyltransferase, helicase and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) motifs are present in RNA1. The viral capsid protein (CP)

Broad bean (Vicia faba L.) plants showing symptoms suggestive of viral infection, such as stunting, leaf roll, mosaic, chlorosis, necrosis, and yellowing, were observed in the Andalucia, Baleares, Cataluna, and Murcia regions of Spain. A 4-year field survey showed the presence of five viruses: bean

Terconazole is a new triazole ketal derivative with broad-spectrum in vitro and in vivo antifungal activities. This study further characterizes the effects of terconazole in vitro on yeast cell growth, viability, and morphology. Terconazole inhibited the growth of Candida albicans ATCC 44859 in a

Apoptosis or programmed cell death is natural way of removing aged cells from the body. Most of the anti-cancer therapies trigger apoptosis induction and related cell death networks to eliminate malignant cells. However, in cancer, de-regulated apoptotic signaling, particularly the activation of an

Plant viruses have a significant impact on agronomic losses worldwide. A new strategy for engineering virus-resistant plants by transgenic expression of a dominant interfering peptide is presented here. This peptide of 29 aa strongly interacts with the nucleocapsid proteins (N) of different

PEComas localized in the region of falciform ligament and broad ligament are exceedingly rare. Most of them are built of spindle neoplastic cells. We report a case of epithelioid PEComa of the falciform ligament and/or broad ligament. There is only one report of such neoplasm in English-language

The serum lipid and lipoprotein profiles as well as the degree of atherosclerotic involvement in the aorta were studied in hypertensive strain of male broad-breasted white turkeys (BBWT). Serum phospholipid concentrations were found to be high while those of cholesterol and triglycerides were low.

Buckwheat (Polygonum fagopyrum L.) is an annual medicinal plant useful in convalescence and treatment of anemia. It is widely grown in Europe, where it is sometimes used as human food. In a survey made during 1995 to 1996 in the Emilia-Romagna region (northern Italy), a virus was consistently

Clear-cell myomelanocytic tumors (CCMT) of the perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) family have been recently reported. We report a case involving a 12-year-old girl. The tumor (9 x 7.5 x 7 cm) was a firm, tan-gray mass with heavily dark pigmentation, massive hemorrhage, and necrosis, and

BACKGROUND Functional roles for chemokines have been demonstrated in several models of ischemia-reperfusion injury. The redundancy inherent to chemokine pathways makes administration of neutralizing antibodies to any single chemokine ineffective in ameliorating injury. This study was undertaken to

BACKGROUND The position and contour of the chin are important components in facial harmony and balance. In the aesthetic facial contouring of the lower face, the mandibular angle, body, and chin should be considered as 1 aesthetic unit. Any developmental broad chin or residual square chin after

OBJECTIVE To determine the histogenesis of an unusual steroid cell tumor that occurred in the broad ligament. METHODS The tumor occurred in a 29-year-old woman who had evidence of virilization. The preoperative testosterone level was greater than 700 ng/dL, but it returned to normal after surgery.

Biologic therapies targeting tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha have become a mainstay in the management of a number of autoimmune diseases. We report a series of adverse skin eruptions in six patients (four females, two males, age: 21-58 years, mean: 39) receiving 4 months to 10 years (mean 3.1
