Early cell loss associated with mesenchymal stem cell cardiomyoplasty
(2012-03-01)
Background: Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) show potential for therapeutic cellular cardiomyoplasty. However, a range of delivery methods, including direct intramyocardial injection, have resulted in poor engraftment ...
Correlation of pretreatment drug induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells with patient survival and clinical response
(2012-08-08)
This study was performed to determine if a chemotherapy-induced apoptosis assay (MiCK) could predict the best therapy for patients with ovarian cancer. A prospective, multi-institutional and blinded trial of the assay was ...
Landscape influences on fisher success: Adaptation strategies in closed and open access fisheries in southern Chile
(2012-03)
Determinants of fisher success in southern Chile's loco (Concholepas concholepas) fishery are examined by comparing fisher success in exclusive access territories that vary in relationship to tree-plantation development, ...
Nectin like -5 overexpression correlates with the malignant phenotype in cutaneous melanoma
(2012-08-26)
NECL-5 is involved in regulating cell–cell junctions, in cooperation with cadherins, integrins and platelet-derived growth factor receptor, that are essential for intercellular communication. Its role in malignant ...
Organic matter characterization and decomposition dynamics in sub-Antarctic streams impacted by invasive beavers
(2012-11)
Despite being a relatively remote and well conserved area, the sub-Antarctic ecoregion faces pressing global threats from climate change, the ozone hole and introduced species. Its freshwater ecosystems are one of the least ...

(2012)
Objective. To compare on- and off-campus snacking patterns among college students pursuing degrees in health-related fields (HRFs) and nonhealth-related fields (NHRFs). Materials and Methods. Snack frequency questionnaire, ...
Mediastinal neoplasms in patients with Graves disease: A possible link between sustained hyperthyroidism and thymic neoplasia'
(2012-07-23)
BACKGROUND: Anterior mediastinal masses are a rare but well documented finding in Graves disease. The vast majority of these lesions represents benign thymic hypertrophy and regress after treatment of the hyperthyroidism. ...
The HTLV-1-encoded protein HBZ directly inhibits the acetyl transferase activity of p300/CBP
(2012-03-19)
The homologous cellular coactivators p300 and CBP contain intrinsic lysine acetyl transferase (termed HAT) activity. This activity is responsible for acetylation of several sites on the histones as well as modification of ...
The influence of resistance exercise training on the levels of anxiety in ischemic stroke
(2012-11-11)
The aim of this pilot study was to analyze the effect of a strength training program on indicators of trait and state anxiety in patients with ischemic stroke. The subjects were divided into two groups: experimental group ...
