Calcium concentration within the endoplasmic reticulum ER) plays an essential role in cell physiology. We have investigated the effects of basiliolides, a novel class of C19 dilactones isolated from Thapsia garganica, on Ca2+ mobilization in T cells. Basiliolide A1 induced a rapid mobilization of intracellular Ca2+ in the leukemia T-cell line Jurkat. First, a rapid calcium peak was observed and in

The aim of the present study was to find clinical parameters affecting incidence and progression of nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients. A prospective study for 10 years was performed in 385 type 2 diabetic patients (diabetes diagnosis > or =30 years) attending a hospital-based outpatient clinic. Medical risk indicators like diabetes duration, HbA(1c), and blood pressure were related to the de

The PHENIX On-Line system takes signals from the Front End Modules (FEM) on each detector subsystem for the purpose of generating events for physics analysis. Processing of event data begins when the Data Collection Modules (DCM) receive data via fiber-optic links from the FEMs. The DCMs format and zero suppress the data and generate data packets. These packets go to the Event Builders (EvB) that

Den första antologin har sin styrka i sina många exakta uppgifter (t. ex. om nedgången i antalet evangeliska teologistudenter under 1930-talet) och sina djupgående, teologiska analyser av det tyska materialet. Av den engelskspråkiga debatten, som möter i följande volym, märks dock inte mycket. Här får vi bl. a. veta att de amerikanska ledarna i World Jewish Congress 1941 krävde ett omedelbart stop

The effect of mixing time on wheat protein composition and gluten formation was studied for three commercial flour mixtures (biscuit, standard and strong) and one durum flour. Ultracentrifugation was used to separate the fresh, wet gluten from the wheat-flour dough immediately after mixing. Small deformation dynamic theological measurements and RP- and SE-HPLC were used to determine the characteri

The importance of wound classification and site of ulceration was evaluated in 314 consecutive diabetic patients with foot ulcers. The ulcers were classified as superficial (through the full thickness of the dermis; n = 150), deep (n = 50), osteomyelitis and/or abscess (n = 46), minor gangrene (n = 39) or major gangrene (n = 29). Wound healing was defined as intact skin for at least 6 months. In p

The aim of this study is to examine the characteristics of the Argentine writer Juan Jose Saer’s Nadie nada nunca (1980) and how literary perception is explored in this novel. The first part of the thesis deals with Saer’s works in general, and includes a short overview of his novels, his short stories, his poems and his essays, with special emphasis on his theoretical discussions about literature

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar en hinduisk, framför allt sydindisk form av divination vid namn nadi-läsning, uppbyggd efter astrologiskt mönster men med vissa utmärkande särdrag, framför allt uppläsandet av föregivet färdigskrivna texter, tillskrivna gudomliga eller övermänskliga författare, i vilka klientens levnadsöde skall ha nedtecknats långt före dennes födelse. EftLike all divination, Hindu astrology (jyotisa) is concerned with central religious issues such as man’s relation to the world, moral responsibility, and the revelation of a coherent divine order underlying human experience. Comprising a descriptive as well as a prescriptive aspect, jyotisa allows for both prediction and the exercise of free will. This double nature enables a seamless

The article analyses the common ancient history and remaining cultural closeness of Sweden and Finland and discusses the differences concerning historical consciousness in Sweden and Finland today and common views of contemporary Swedes and Finns on the security policy challenge, which has emerged after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991 and the recent rise of Russia as a regional Great P
