(2009)BACKGROUND. Multidrug resistance (MDR) proteins have been associated with the lack of chemotherapy response. Expression of these proteins has been described in the prostate, but there is no information about their role in ...
-
(2009)Simple, inexpensive and accurate methods for assessing the spatial distribution of traffic emissions are badly needed for the environmental management in South American cities. In this study, various spatial disaggregation ...
-
(2009)Background: Sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive procedure for treatment of obese patients with different body mass index (BMI) and presents good results in terms of a reduction of percentage of excess weight loss and BMI. ...
-
(2009)The antinociceptive activity of dexketoprofen was studied in mice using the formalin assay for orofacial pain. The interaction between dexketoprofen and co-administered tramadol was studied using isobolographic analysis. ...
-
(2009)The application of anthropometry provides many benefits to the sport of volleyball, such as in the evaluation of body composition, predicting physiological and sporting performance and defining mechanical behavior, from ...
-
(2009)Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis Virus (IPNV) is a bisegmented, double-stranded RNA virus, which belongs to the Birnaviridae family. In the current study, we have analyzed the RNA replication intermediates (RI) purified ...
-
(2009)Background: The recently described Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) represents a new paradigm of protein secretion in bacteria. A number of bioinformatic studies have been conducted to identify T6SS gene clusters in the ...
-
(2009)Changes in landscape structure are generally associated to physical, biological and social factors. However, their integrated analysis is rarely done. The objective of this study was to determine the distribution patterns ...
-
(2009)Background: The study of the effects of bariatic surgery on quality of life in patients of different socioeconomic levels (SEL) is worthwhile. Aim: To study quality of life (QoL), eating behaviour, depressive symptoms and ...
-

-
(2009)Clinical success in tissue regeneration requires improvements in vascularization capacity of scaffolds. Several efforts have been made in this field including cellular and acellular technologies. In this work we combined ...
-
(2009)We analyzed the contents of total organic carbon, biogenic opal, chlorins, and alkenones (as productivity proxies) from a laminated sediment core recovered within Bahía Mejillones, northern Chile, in order to reconstruct ...
-
(2009)Some hyperthermophilic archaea use a modified glycolytic pathway that employs an ADP-dependent glucokinase (ADP-GK) and an ADP-dependent phosphofructokinase (ADP-PFK) or, in the case of Methanococcus jannaschii, a bifunctional ...
-
(2009)Collection of PM2.5 particles was carried out in Antarctica in the summer periods of years 2006 and 2007 using solar panels to operate the sampling unit. The unit was installed 2.5 km from the B. O'Higgins Chilean base to ...
-
(2009)Background: Experiences of sexual violence in adolescence and young adulthood have received little attention in Chilean public health research and practice. Aim: To describe the prevalence and contexts of sexual violence ...
-
(2009)In order to investigate the role of the nuclear factor κB (NFKB) pathway on gene expression in the eutopic endometrium in endometriosis, and in particular of interleukin-6 (IL6), we evaluated RELA, IκB kinase (CHUK), NFKBIA ...
-
(2009)CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) mediate immunologic self-tolerance and suppress immune responses. In the gut, a subset of dendritic cells is specialized to induce Treg in a transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)- ...
