OBJECTIVE |
To analyze the rare alleles of D13S325 locus which fell in the size range of D12S391 locus with the STRtyper-10G kit. |
METHODS |
Genotyping results of cases with suspected rare alleles of D13S325 were verified with Sinofiler(TM) kit and a singleplex amplification system. The rare alleles were separated and sequenced. |
RESULTS |
Five families were detected with rare alleles of the D13S325 locus, which were misread as allele 20 of D12S391 locus. The alleles were named as 5.1 based on DNA sequences and have a frequency of 0.156 × 10(-2). |
CONCLUSION |
As the rare allele 5.1 of D13S325 locus with the STRtyper-10G kit is prone to be mistyped, attention should be paid in the paternity testing, personal identification and DNA database search.Approximation of Some Classes of Periodic Functions of Two Variables by Trigonometric Polynomials |

Drawing on the Weberian spirit, our key problem is trying to understand the irrational rationality of Active Labour Market Policies adopted across the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries, despite their limited utility. Rather than explaining these as inefficient policy formation or reflecti... |
OBJECTIVE |
To investigate single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) and haplotypes of interleukin-18(IL-18) gene associated with the susceptibility to colorectal cancer(CRC). |
METHODS |
Two SNPs of IL-18 gene promoter -137G/C and -607C/A in 170 patients with CRC and 160 healthy controls matched by age and sex in a Chinese population were analyzed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) strategy. Frequency of haplotypes and linkage disequilibrium of IL-18 gene... |
RESULTS |
The distributions of IL-18 gene -607C/A polymorphism did not differ between CRC patients and healthy controls, but IL-18 gene -137G/C polymorphism was significantly different(P<0.05). The relative risk of C allele for CRC was 1.814 times of the G allele (OR=1.814,95% CI:1.246-2.642). Consistent with the results of the ... |
CONCLUSIONS |
IL-18 gene -137G/C polymorphism and -137C/-607A haplotype are associated with CRC. -137C allele may be an important genetic susceptibility gene for CRC.Chromosomal Abnormalities in Birth Defects |
Abstract: |
Chromosomal abnormalities arising after fertilization, are observed at a relatively high rate at the cleavage stage. To evaluate the aneuploidy and mosaicism, microarray comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) of trophectoderm cells from blastocysts has been considered in preimplantation screening. However, 1% or less... |
Motivation: SNOMED CT provides about 300,000 codes with fine-grained definitions to support interoperability of health data. However, even experienced human coders tend to disagree about which codes to choose for expressing clinical content. Results: 20 short clinical text fragments were independently annotated with SN... |
The 9th meeting of the European Forum on Antiphospholipid Antibodies (Euro aPL Forum) was held in Krakow, Poland, on 16–18 May 2013. This was an excellent occasion for the exchange of information on current research in the area of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), as well as a starting point for many new research projec... |

There have been very few studies evaluating how well diversification moves have worked out in practice vis-a-vis expectations at the time decisions are taken to diversify. This is a difficult area of research. George Paul, based on a study of 28 MRTP companies, has addressed himself to a related issue of what type of d... |
The heliosheath (HSH) radial speeds at Voyager 2 (V2) derived from the plasma instrument (PLS) and from particle instruments using the Compton–Getting (CG) effect are different. At V2 the CG speeds are more variable than the plasma speeds and decrease about 2 yr before the heliopause. We use magnetic flux conservation ... |

The techniques are based on an application of therapeutic community principles to real life settings ... |
INTRODUCTION |
Parathyroid incidentaloma (PTI) designates a nodule discovered incidentally during thyroid sonography, and whose location and aspect suggests an abnormal parathyroid. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of PTI, their functional characteristics and to identify the factors correlated with their presence. |
PATIENTS AND METHODS |
We recorded all patients detected with PTI between January 2009 and December 2011, in our department. Serum calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free thyroine (FT4) and anti thyroid peroxidase antibodies (anti-TPO Ab) were measured. |
RESULTS |
From a total of 2662 thyroid ultrasounds, 32 patients were identified with PTI (prevalence 1.2%). The diagnosis of a functional parathyroid adenoma was confirmed in 12 patients (37.5%). There was no significant difference in size, location, echogenicity or vascular pattern between the functioning adenomas and the other... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Although rare, the ultrasound identification of an image suggestive for a pathological parathyroid gland requires the evaluation of the functioning character of the lesion, more than one third PTI being hyperfunctional. The concomitance of a nodular goiter decreases the probability of a primary hyperparathyroidism.Succ... |
OBJECTIVE |
Chronic infection with the hepatitis B virus is endemic in Southeast Asian populations, including Vietnamese. Previous research has documented low rates of hepatitis B vaccine coverage among Vietnamese-American children and adolescents ages 3 to 18. To address this problem, we designed and tested in a controlled trial ... |
DESIGN |
In the Houston, Texas metropolitan area, we mounted a media-led information and education campaign, and in the Dallas metropolitan area, we organized a community mobilization strategy. We evaluated the success of these interventions in a controlled trial, using the Washington, DC metropolitan area as a control site. To... |
RESULTS |
Awareness of hepatitis B increased significantly between the pre- and postintervention surveys in all 3 areas, and the increase in the media education area (+21.5 percentage points) was significantly larger than in the control area (+9.0 percentage points). At postintervention, significantly more parents knew that free... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Both community mobilization and media campaigns significantly increased the knowledge of Vietnamese-American parents about hepatitis B vaccination, and the receipt of "catch-up" vaccinations among their children.A Comparative Study of Face Recognition Classification Algorithms |
Abstract Due to the different classification effects and accuracy of different classification algorithms in machine learning, it is inconvenient for scientific researchers to choose which classification algorithm to use. This paper uses the face data published by Cambridge University as an experiment. The experiment fi... |
For the development of muscle-machine interfaces (MuMIs), researchers have relied mainly on Electromyography (EMG) signals. However, these signals require complex hardware systems, as well as specialized signal processing and feature extraction methods. To overcome these issues, in our previous work, we proposed a nove... |
