25. The relation of dermcidin with insulin resistance and inflammation in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Polycystic ovary syndrome is the most common endocrinopathy among women of reproductive age. Polycystic ovary syndrome is a metabolic disorder associated with insulin resistance and subclinical inflammation. Dermcidin, an antimicrobial peptide, involves in insulin resistance and inflammatory processes. Dermcidin suppresses the secretion o

27. MARKETIZATION OF JAPAN-BASED HIGHER EDUCATION ADVERTISEMENTS: A DISCOURSE OF MCJOBS?
Abstract We investigate how competing forces interdiscursively manifest in Japan-based higher education through a critical discourse analysis (Fairclough, 1993, 1995). Higher education job advertisements are constitutive of institutions’ public images that are targeted toward academics in specific fields. They are discursive spaces where marketized discour

28. Strong Stability Preserving Runge-Kutta Methods Applied to Water Hammer Problem
ABSTRACT The characteristic method of lines is the most used numerical method applied to the water hammer problem. It transforms a system of partial differential equations involving the independent variables time and space in two ordinary differential equations along the characteristics curves and then solve it numerically. This approach, although showing gr

30. A Note on the McCormick Second-Order Constraint Qualification
ABSTRACT The study of optimality conditions and constraint qualification is a key topic in nonlinear optimization. In this work, we present a reformulation of the well-known second-order constraint qualification described by McCormick in 17. This reformulation is based on the use of feasible arcs, but is independent of Lagrange multipliers. Using such a refo

31. A novel nomogram can predict pathological T3a upstaged from clinical T1a in localized renal cell carcinoma
ABSTRACT Hypothesis: Nomogram can be built to predict the pathological T3a upstaging from clinical T1a in patients with localized renal cell carcinoma before surgery. Purpose: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients with clinical T1a (cT1a) disease who are upstaged to pathological T3a (pT3a) have reduced survivals after partial nephrectomy. We aimed to develop

32. Association of Anti-β1 and Anti-M2 Antibodies with Autonomic Nervous System Modulation in Patients with Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy
Abstract Background: Different immune mechanisms of myocardial damage involved in the pathophysiology of Chagas disease coexist with high titers of autoantibodies induced by T. cruzi . There are few studies in the literature about the adaptive role of anti-β1 and anti-M2 antibodies in chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC). Objectives: To evaluate the associ

34. Diagnostic and prognostic significance of long noncoding RNA LINC00173 in patients with melanoma
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: A growing volume of literature has suggested long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) as important players in tumor progression. In this study, we aimed to investigate the expression and prognostic value of lncRNA LINC00173 (LINC00173) in melanoma. METHODS: LINC00173 expression was measured in 163 paired cancerous and noncancerous specimen samples

36. Acquisition of endoscopic nasal surgery skills with a lamb’s head model
Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the acquisition of surgical skills by otolaryngology residents and established the minimum number of dissections of a lamb’s model to be performed before practicing on human patients. Methods: Nineteen second-year otolaryngology residents performed ten dissections each, five on each nasal cavity, always practicing the sam
