Desensitization of the Ca2+-mobilizing system to serum growth factors by Ha-ras and v-mos1988 •
An elevation of the intracellular pH and a rise in the cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration are considered important mitogenic signals which are observed after stimulation by various growth factors. In a preceding report it was demonstrated that the expression of Ha-ras or v-mos in cells transfected with Ha-ras or v-mos, respectively, leads to an activation of the Na+/H+ antiporter and a concomitant rise in intracellular pH (W. Doppler, R. Jaggi, and B. Groner, Gene 54:145-151, 1987). This report describes the effect of the Ha-ras and v-mos oncogenes on intracellular Ca2+ release. The expression of Ha-ras in NIH 3T3 cells carrying a glucocorticoid-inducible transforming Ha-ras gene caused a desensitization of the Ca2+-mobilizing system to serum growth factors. The induction of p21ras in cells carrying the corresponding glucocorticoid-inducible proto-oncogene did not affect the Ca2+ response to growth factors. Conditions leading to the expression of the transforming Ha-ras gene but not tho...

Prevalence of Latent Tuberculosis Among Children Living in Households with Smear Positive Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients2017 •
This multicentre cross sectional analytical study was conducted in 2012 in Chittagong, Bangladesh, to evaluate the prevalence of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) among children living in households with smear positive pulmonary tuberculosis patient. Two groups of subjects were selected. Sixty five children of 3-12 years living with selected smear positive TB patient and children of same age living with healthy parents were included. For this purpose, sputum positive adult TB patients were selected. Mantoux test (TST) was done in 130 children. To exclude active TB disease in TST positive children, CXR P/A view was taken. Sociodemographic information were also included.<strong> </strong>The study found that the prevalence of LTBI among children who have household TB contacts was 41.5%, and Children who did not have household TB contact had the prevalence of LTBI of 9.2%. Parents’ educational status showed that 74.1% of MT positive children had illiterate father and 63%...

New rabies virus variant found during an epizootic in white-nosed coatis from the Yucatan Peninsula2010 •
SUMMARYIn February 2008, three white-nosed coatis (Nasua narica) were found dead in a recreational park in Cancun, Mexico. The diagnosis of rabies virus (RABV) infection was confirmed by direct immunofluorescence test. The phylogenetic analysis performed with the complete RABV nucleoprotein gene positioned this isolate close to a sequence of a human rabies case reported during 2008 from Oaxaca, Mexico, sharing 93% similarity. In turn, these two variants are related to another variant found in rabidTadarida brasiliensis mexicanabats across North America. Anti-RABV neutralizing activity (1·3 IU/ml) was found in the serum of one white-nosed coati captured with another five that cohabited with the dead animals. Enhanced rabies surveillance and pathogenesis studies should be conducted in coatis and insectivorous bats of the region to clarify the role of these species as potential emergent or long-term unidentified RABV reservoirs.

As fontes textuais da Bíblia Almeida: sistematização e esquadrinhamento do status quaestionis2021 •
São fartos e relevantes os testemunhos em favor da posição de destaque da Bíblia Almeida como patrimônio literário e religioso da língua portuguesa. E não obstante o conjunto expressivo de estudiosos que se debruçaram sobre a história dessa pioneira tradução bíblica em português, permanece ainda hoje um dilema quanto às suas fontes textuais, especialmente no que diz respeito ao embasamento ou não do seu tradutor nos idiomas bíblicos originais. Como estágio inicial e indispensável para um melhor esclarecimento dessa incógnita, foram rastreadas, de maneira ordenada, as conclusões dos principais especialistas na matéria, além de perscrutados, à medida do possível, os materiais de onde elas foram extraídas. Finalmente, esboçou-se uma síntese do 'status quaestionis', ponto de partida necessário para se obter depois, eventualmente, uma solução mais satisfatória para esse duradouro impasse.

Organizational and Economic Problems in the Management of the Spiritual - Historical Development of Tourism in South Kazakhstan Region2016 •
Nowadays the international market of tourist service is a great mechanism with many billion-dollar and fierce competition, so the priority is the definition of the tourist product, which is unique to Kazakhstan and features will be in demand. For the Republic of Kazakhstan the tourism industry is a top priority and here more attention to the development of inbound and domestic tourism was paid, development of exciting itineraries of cultural, environmental, equestrian and recreation areas. The new tourist brand of Kazakhstan was “at the crossroads of the worlds, in the center of Eurasia.” The actuality of research by the fact that in the economy of Kazakhstan tourism is one of the most powerful factors that allow economies to develop, to introduce new technologies, to solve social problems is determined. That is why we often hear such features of tourism as “phenomenon of the twentieth century, the explosion of tourism,” “tourism revolution.” The purpose of the research is the forma...
