The development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and colon cancer (CC) has been shown to involve the up-regulation of inflammatory mediators and the machinery producing them such as the eicosanoids. Changes in the expression of extracellular matrix proteins and their related integrin receptors have also been shown to be important in the advancement IBD and CC. In light of this, we have investi
In 2001, multi-family dwellings were built at nine properties in Västra hamnen, Malmö, Sweden. Several well known Swedish architects were involved in designing the buildings, hence they reflect modern architecture. Prior to the inauguration, the buildings were displayed at the international housing exhibition Bo01. The housing exhibition had an ecological and sustainability focus. Regarding energy
The pine sawfly, Diprion jingyuanensis Xiao et Zhang, is a serious pest of Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis Carr.) in the northern parts of China. The general biology of this recently described sawfly species is little known and in the present study we used a synthetic pheromone to monitor its flight period and to evaluate the possibility to use pheromone traps as a tool for estimating and predic
Silver recovery from photographic fixing solutions is investigated by applying solvent extraction techniques. Amines were shown to be the most promising extractants and quaternary ammonium chlorides selected for further studies because of high distribution coefficients and low pH-sensitivity. The distribution coefficient for silver from a 0.5 M ammonium thiosulphate solution increases from 2.3 to
I denna artikel beskrivs hur de kanadensiska mi’kmaqindianerna bearbetar problem som härstammar från tiden i Shubenacadie Residential School. Fastän den stora internatskolan idag är nedlagd fortsätter den att sätta spår i de moderna reservatsbornas liv. Artikelmaterialet hämtas bland annat från ett fältarbete (2000) på ön Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. För att det kanadensiska majoritetssamhället ska f
Bacillus subtilis ferrochelatase is encoded by the hemH gene of the hemEHY gene cluster and catalyses the incorporation of Fe2+ into protoporphyrin IX. B. subtilis ferrochelatase produced in Escherichia coli was purified. It was found to be a monomeric, water-soluble enzyme of molecular mass 35 kDa which in addition to Fe2+ can incorporate Zn2+ and Cu2+ into protoporphyrin IX. Chemical modificatio
OBJECTIVE: To examine the endometrial expression pattern of messenger RNA (mRNA) for selected matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1). DESIGN: Experimental study. SETTING: Department of Obstetrics and gynecology of the Palacky University Medical School and University Hospital, Olomouc, Czech Republic, Department of Obsterics and Gynecology, University

Neural transplantation is an experimental treatment for Parkinson's disease. Widespread clinical application of the grafting technique is hampered by a relatively poor survival (around 10%) of implanted embryonic dopamine neurones. Earlier animal studies have indicated that a large proportion of the grafted cells die during graft tissue preparation and within the first few days after intracerebral
Background. Ethical issues arise in many obstetric situations and demand constant consideration by obstetricians. The aim of this study was to highlight the meaning of being in an ethically difficult situation as narrated by obstetricians. Methods. A descriptive design with a qualitative approach using a hermeneutic phenomenological method for analysis. Interviews were performed with 14 obstetric
By describing the aim of triangulation as locating the objects of thoughts and utterances, Davidson has given in the double role of accounting for both the individuation of content and the sense in which content necessarily is public. The focus of this article is on how triangulation may contribute to the individuation of content. I maintain that triangulation, interpreted in terms of joint attent
The dynamics of the cationic, bioelectrical and secretory responses to formycin A were monitored in pancreatic islet cells in order to assess whether this adenosine analogue, which is known to be converted to formycin A 5'-triphosphate in isolated islets, triggers the same sequence of ionic events as that otherwise involved in the process of nutrient-stimulated insulin release and currently attrib
In this paper, the potential to reduce CO2 emissions from dimethyl carbonate production by switching from the traditional phosgene-based production to a urea-based CO2 utilization process is assessed. The total CO2 emission for each process is estimated, including emissions related to the carbon content of the products, energy consumption in the production process, and energy consumption in the pr
