Effect of pathogenic bacteria on reliability of CK-19, CK-20 and UPII as bladder cancer genetic markers: A molecular biology study
Conclusions E. coli is the most predominant bacteria isolated from bladder cancer patients. Both CK-20 and UPII have different expression levels for both benign and malignant cases. Combined use of UPII and CK-20 may be a promising noninvasive tool for the detection of bladder cancer in urine for patients who have both symptoms of UTI and cancer.

Preventing male infertility by marjoram and sage essential oils through modulating testicular lipid accumulation and androgens biosynthesis disruption in a rat model of dietary obesity
This study aimed to investigate reproductive disorders caused by obesity and the possible prevention through the use of marjoram and sage oil extracts. Obesity was achieved in adult male rats by feeding high fat diet (HFD) for 12 weeks, while marjoram (0.16 ml/kg b.wt) and sage (0.05 ml/kg b.wt) oils were given orally for the same duration. HFD-fed rats exhibited marked obesity features indicated by increased adiposity index, with higher weight gain compared to control rats. This goes with increased lipid accumulation in testis and serum of the obese rats. Increased serum levels of leptin, prolactinL (PRL) and estrogen...

A note on soliton solutions of fractional hybrid lattice equations
This study is designed to propose a solitary-solution formulation method by applying transformation and ancient Chinese algorithm. This method is projected to obtain closed-form solution of fractional differential-difference equations (FDDEs). A closed-form solution of hybrid lattice is used to demonstrate the rationality and the large potential of the proposed method in finding the solutions of FDDEs. This method is very effective in obtaining the exact solutions of nonlinear FDDEs and it can be extended to obtain the solution of nonlinear FDDEs in mathematical physics. Comparison has been made with previous work. (Source...

Separation of variables in one case of motion of a gyrostat acted upon by gravity and magnetic fields
Publication date: Available online 23 May 2015 Source:Egyptian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences Author(s): M.P. Kharlamov , H.M. Yehia A version of the integrable problem of motion of a dynamically symmetric gyrostat about a fixed point similar to the Kowalevski top, while acted upon by a combination of uniform gravity and magnetic fields is considered. This version is reduced, in general, to hyperelliptic quadratures. The special case when the gyrostatic momentum is absent is solved in terms of elliptic functions of time.
