3 channels. We found that fluoride increased the decay time constant of K+ outward currents, reduced the degree of the sustained current component and diminished the effect of the specific TASK channels blocker A293. These findings indicate that the use of fluoride-based pipette solutions may hinder the identification of a functional TASK channel…[Read more]

It remains to be elucidated whether or not DXA provides more accurate assessment of whole body fat mass than ADP in preterm infants.Trial registration NTR5311 What is Known • Diverse methods are used to assess fat mass in preterm infants. What is New • This study showed that there is poor agreement between dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, air dis…[Read more]

nd specific biomarker that could be clinically useful for predicting progression of RA.

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) primarily affects the axial skeleton and extraarticular structures. Small-scaled studies have reported that the incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are higher in patients with AS than in the general p…[Read more]

Eukaryotes express at least three nuclear DNA-dependent RNA polymerases (Pols) responsible for synthesizing all RNA required by the cell. Despite sharing structural homology, they have functionally diverged to suit their distinct cellular roles. Although the Pols have been studied extensively, direct comparison of their enzymatic properties is…[Read more]

In addition, following treatment with curcumin for 48 h, H19 expression was decreased in a dose‑dependent manner. Moreover, curcumin treatment for 48 h significantly attenuated H19‑induced alterations in N‑cadherin and E‑cadherin expression levels. Curcumin also prevented H19‑induced invasion and migration. The present study indicated that H19…[Read more]
