2 mg/L in case two due to interference with the assay. Conclusion These cases illustrate the importance of performing serum protein electrophoresis in tandem with IgG subclasses to distinguish between polyclonal and monoclonal increases in serum IgG4. The lack of typical IgG4-RD features in these two patients suggests that monoclonal elevation in…[Read more]

Thermomyces lanuginosus and Scytalidium thermophilum are among the most ubiquitous thermophilic fungi in compost and soil. Chemical study on these two prevalent strains collected from Yunnan led to isolation of 23 metabolites, including one new metabolite, therlanubutanolide ( 1 ), and 15 known compounds ( 2 – 16 ), isolated from the YGP culture…[Read more]

Once the diagnosis is confirmed we retrospectively analyzed the etiology, clinical features, management and outcomes of renal transplant recipients with pancreatitis. RESULTS Twenty-six patients (men 81%; mean age 38.5 years) were included. Etiology included gallstones (19.3%), structural lesions (11.5%), viral infections (7.8%), and drugs.…[Read more]

Moreover, three hub genes, i.e. ESR1, NCOA3, and RPS6KB1 and one significant module were filtered out and selected from the PPI network. CONCLUSION Nobiletin might serve as a lead compound for the development of CSCs-targeted drugs by targeting estrogen and Wnt/ß-catenin signaling. Further studies are needed to explore the full therapeutic…[Read more]

We simulate the propagation of the abruptly autofocusing chirped ring Pearcey Gaussian vortex (CRPGV) beams with caustics by modulating the phase of a circularly symmetric optical wavefront appropriately. The propagation characteristics of the CRPGV beams are explored in the Kerr medium. Different caustic surfaces of revolution which can be used…[Read more]

Pericardial neoplasms are uncommon, mostly due to secondary involvement of the pericardium by extracardiac tumors. Clinical presentation is nonspecific, frequently leading to a delayed diagnosis. Moreover, both benign and malignant pericardial tumors may be associated with myocardial infiltration and mechanical compression of cardiac chambers,…[Read more]

Phenolics, phytopigments, flavonoids, and vitamins of stem amaranth leaves exhibited strong antioxidant activity. Stem amaranth could be a potential source of dietary fiber, moisture, carbohydrates, protein, minerals, phenolics, phytopigments, flavonoids, and vitamins in our daily diet for attaining nutritional and antioxidant…[Read more]
