The present investigation was undertaken to assess the binding characteristics of eight different lectins to normal oral mucosa (11 cases), leukoplakia with varying degrees of dysplasia (five cases), and oral mucosal squamous cell carcinoma (12 cases) by the use of biotinylated lectins and avidin
In Lotus japonicus, as in most plants, long-chain fatty acids are important components of cuticular wax, one of the principal functions of which is to act as a barrier to water loss in response to drought stress. It is thought that lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) are involved in the process of
Dietary polyphenols have shown hypolipidemic effects by reducing triglyceride absorption. The mechanisms may involve modifying fat emulsion during digestion in the gastrointestinal tract and suppressing lipase during hydrolysis in the small intestine. In an in vivo study, lotus seedpod oligomeric
Stress concentration around nanosized defects such as cavities always leads to plastic deformation and failure of solids. We investigate the effects of depth, size, and shape of a lotus-type nanocavity on onset plasticity of single crystal Al during nanoindentation on a (001) surface using a
Browning rhizome (also known as "browning tuber disease") in Indian lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) caused by the nematode Hirschmanniella diversa is an emerging agronomic problem. In this study, the authors documented the early infection processes of H. diversa in the apices of young
BACKGROUND
The lotus petal flap procedure is widely used for vulvovaginal reconstructions after gynecologic resections, but its effectiveness for posterior perineal coverage and filling is not yet well defined.
METHODS
We conducted a retrospective evaluation of 10 lotus petal flap procedures
Significant paravalvular leak (PVL) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is associated with poor outcome. We present the case of an 83-year-old female with severe aortic stenosis who underwent TAVI with an Evolut-R valve (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA). An aortogram post-procedure
