Expression and molecular characterization of an enzymatically active recombinant human spumaretrovirus protease

A theoretical model is presented by which a true expression of pregnancy rate resulting from stimulated cycles can be calculated. This includes the transfer of both fresh and cryopreserved embryos. It is concluded that the total reproductive potential of a single cycle of stimulation can only be evaluated by including pregnancies arising from all fresh and frozen embryo transfers resulting from that cycle.     

Central motor conduction evaluation in glycogenosis type III

We report a 20-year-old man affected by glycogenosis type III with distal muscle weakness, more severe in distal leg muscles. The electromyogram showed myopathic features. Nerve conduction studies and central motor conduction after magnetic stimulation of the brain were normal. Our results suggest that there is no involvement of central motor pathways in this disease.     

An experimental pilot study of tacalcitol activities during modulation of parakeratotic skin features

Establishing guidelines and experimental models preclinical and clinical evaluations of new agents for treatment, and/or prevention of human diseases has become a task of crucial importance. Psoriasis is such one disease holding great interest for dermatology owing to its high rate of incidence and complexity of treatment. However the absence of psoriatic lesions in animals and the inability to induce them, calls for experimental techniques both in vitro and in vivo. The purpose of this study was to evaluate experimentally the effects of tacalcitol on cell proliferation and differentiation process. Thereafter a human pilot study on psoriatic patients has been developed.     

Histology of rat small bowel transplants: cyclosporine A ameliorates features of rejection including apoptosis and ganglion cell reduction

The spectrum of photoaging in human skin shows a recognizable progression from subtle to profound, reflecting the various anatomic and structural changes that appear with aging skin. Qualification and quantification of these changes on both the macroscopic and microscopic levels enable the physician to select and evaluate appropriate therapeutic approaches to the problem of chronic solar damage. Comparative studies remain to be done that will further refine our abilities to match the right solutions to the recognized problems.     

乘性和加性噪声中谐波恢复的循环统计量方法

本文从循环平衡的观点出发来研究乘性和加性噪声中的谐波恢复问题.首先，在一定条件下建立了一般复过程的有限长付里叶变换的大样本性质．然后，得到了任意阶循环矩的样本估计关于循环频率的一致收敛速度．对于乘性和加性噪声中的谐波信号，建立了一、二、三阶循环矩样本估计的统计性质．在此基础上，分别提出了基于不同阶循环矩的谐波分最个数和频率的估计方法，并得到了估计的强相容性质和强收敛速度，最后给出了模拟实验结果．     

Pulmonary Wegener''s disease mimicking tuberculosis]

We report a case of early Wegener's disease mimicking tuberculosis in a 36 year old man. Lungs are solely affected for 6 months. Unusual appearance of radiographic features with large apical excavations explain the delai for the diagnosis. We discuss morphological features in the lungs and kidney.
