A recent report revealed that the protein-tyrosine phosphatase, receptor-type, T (PTPRT) gene is somatically mutated in several types of human cancer, suggesting that the mutated PTPRT gene is a tumor suppressor gene in human cancers. However, because previously the mutational search has focused
Phospholipids and sphingolipids play critical roles in signal transduction, intracellular membrane trafficking, and control of cell growth and survival. We discuss recent progress in the identification and characterization of a family of integral membrane proteins with central roles in bioactive
The detection of common-duct stones is important in the treatment of patients with acute cholecystitis. The records of 256 patients with histopathologically confirmed acute cholecystitis were reviewed retrospectively. Associated choledocholithiasis was found in 32 (12.5%). Preoperative serum
OBJECTIVE
The most common extraintestinal manifestation of Entamoeba histolytica, the agent of amebiasis, is a hepatic abscess. This infection is common throughout the world and can be associated with life-threatening consequences. Given the often nonspecific nature of the complaints related to an
A complete breeding soundness evaluation is essential for assessment of the infertile male dog. Cryptorchidism, a sex-limited autosomal recessive trait, is more common as a unilateral condition. Azoospermia is an ejaculate consisting of seminal plasma but lacking sperm; repeated semen collections in
Common bile duct stricture secondary to chronic pancreatitis is difficult to detect clinically. Surgical bypass is necessary if complications from biliary obstruction develop. In 21 patients operated on between 1968 and 1979, the earliest typical biochemical finding was a persistently elevated serum
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is a primary B-cell immunodeficiency disorder, characterized by remarkable hypogammaglobulinemia. The disease can develop at any age without gender predominance. The prevalence of CVID varies widely worldwide. The underlying causes of CVID remain largely
Brucellar spondylodiscitis is a frequent and serious complication of brucellosis. The aim of this study is to describe the brucellosis patients with spondylodiscitis and the predictive factors related to spondylodiscitis in brucellosis.Laboratory-confirmed Human leukocyte common antigen-related phosphatase (LAR) may play a role in type 2 diabetes and cancer, and in the development of the nervous system, and it may be an attractive target for the treatment of diabetes and cancer. We identified eight hits from the random screening of LAR D1 with a
Under phosphorus (P) deficiency, sensitivity of the N 2-fixing legumes increases since the large amount of P-dependent carbon and energy turnover required during N 2 fixation are not satisfied. However, despites the fact that these crops have been widely characterized under P-deficiency and a number
To ascertain the best diagnostic indicators of choledocholithiasis and to decrease the incidence of retained stones in the common bile duct after exploration, the authors carried out a retrospective review of 110 consecutive patients who underwent common bile duct exploration for calculous biliary
With the advances of videolaparoscopic surgery, this approach had become the treatment of choice for cholelithiasis. However, about 5% to 10% may present common bile duct lithiasis. Most surgeons have still difficulties to deal with this situation and do prefer resolve with open surgery or with
In a series of 158 patients who underwent surgical treatment for biliary lithiasis, we have had 109 (69%) lithiasis of the gallbladder (CC) and 48 (31%) lithiasis of the common bile duct. In the last group 19 (38%) were without jaundice (CAEC) and 30 (62%) with jaundice (CIEC). We have compared the
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease due to mutations in pyrin, which normally inhibits pro-interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) cytokine processing to the active form. A novel role for pyrin has been proposed by Shoham et al., who studied patients with an autosomal dominant
Human HPTP beta, leukocyte common antigen (LCA), and leukocyte common antigen-related molecule (LAR) are transmembrane receptor-like proteins whose cytoplasmic regions contain either one (HPTP beta) or two (LCA and LAR) domains that are homologous to protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases). Whereas
