Translocations t(2;13)(q35;q14) and t(1;13)(p36;q14), which fuse PAX3 and PAX7, respectively, to FOXO1A, characterize alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma. Previous studies have suggested that the expression of PAX7-FOXO1A is copy-number dependent, but that of PAX3-FOXO1A is not, which may be due to a weaker PAX7 than PAX3 promoter. The aim of the present study was to compare the transcriptional activities o
The major cytogenetic subgroup of lipomas is characterized by aberrations of chromosome segment 12q13-15, which recombines with a large number of other chromosomal regions. The gene HMGA2 is the main target in these aberrations. For some recurrent rearrangements, chimeric transcripts, including the 5' part of HMGA2, have been described. The 3' partners identified are LPP, LHFP, CMKOR1, and EBF. In
AIMS: Atrial fibrillation cycle lengths can be assessed from right precordial ECG leads and the unipolar oesophageal ECG using a non-invasive method called Frequency Analysis of Fibrillatory ECG. The purpose of this report is to present the results from application of this method in a large group of patients with long-term atrial fibrillation and to examine the differences between patients with 'c
We study agents situated in partially observable environments, who do not have sufficient resources to create conformant (complete) plans. Instead, they create plans which are conditional and partial, execute or simulate them, and learn from experience to evaluate their quality. Our agents employ an incomplete symbolic deduction system based on Active Logic and Situation Calculus for reasoning abo
The study is based upon material which is a part of the Swedish Agency for Education's evaluation of oral production in year five at primary school. The overall aim of this study is to examine w h a t is assessed by describing the childrens speech, developing and testing criteria for the proficiency in speech in relation to this assessment. For qualitative purposes, a description of the phenomenon
Objective. The effect of repeated contralateral treatment with the kappa-opioid receptor agonist U-50,488H {trans-(+/-)-3,4-dichloro-N-methyl-N-[2-(1-pyrrolidinyl)-cyclohexyl]-ben zene acetamide methanesulphonate} was investigated in rats with unilaterally induced adjuvant arthritis. Methods. Arthritis was induced by injection of Mycobacterium butyricum into the right hindpaw. Inflammatory paramet
Bone mineral density (BMD) measurements are widely used to estimate the risk of osteoporotic fractures. In addition, many other risk factors have been identified, sonic of which are known to add to the risk independently of BMD measurements. The combination of BMD with such risk factors increases the gradient of risk/standard deviation (SD) than that achieved by BMD alone. In this paper, we report
Consider a semigroup of composition operators $T_tf=f\circ \phi_t$, $t\geq 0$, acting on the standard Hardy space $H^p$ $(1\leq p<\infty)$ of the unit disk $D$. Assuming that the $\phi_t$ have a common fixed point at 0, a unique univalent function $h$ can be found such that $h(\phi_t(z))=e^{ct}h(z)$, $z\in D$, $t\geq 0$, where $c$ is a constant which is related to the infinitesimal generator $A$ o
Isocyanates are used mainly for manufacturing of polyurethane (PUR) foams, lacquers, elastomers and glues. The production of PUR exceeds 2 million tonnes per year and is increasing. Occupational exposure to isocyanates are associated with respiratory disorders. A method based on liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) was developed for the simultaneous determination of isocyanates, aminoi
The complete mitochondrial genomes of two reptiles, the common iguana (Iguana iguana) and the caiman (Caiman crocodylus), were sequenced in order to investigate phylogenetic questions of tetrapod evolution. The addition of the two species allows analysis of reptilian relationships using data sets other than those including only fast-evolving species. The crocodilian mitochondrial genomes seem to h
The equilibrium self-diffusion of water contained within the porous structure of three different types of starch, viz. corn, wheat and potato starch was investigated. The samples were exposed to humid air until they reached a certain water content, the value of which was determined from the 1H NMR free induction decays. The water self-diffusion coefficient was determined by means of a p
