This thesis aims to study the association between health-care financing systems and health-care consumers' drug use and health providers' prescribing in six Chinese counties. In a cross-sectional study, a multistage sampling ...
Effects of proteasome inhibitors on chondrogenesis and linear bone growth
(2013-05-07)
Linear bone growth occurs at the growth plate, a thin layer of cartilage between the epiphysis and metaphysis of long bones. In the growth plate, resting/stem-like chondrocytes divide and generate the highly proliferative ...
Effects of chemotherapy on bone growth and chondrocyte cell death signaling
(2010-11-01)
of dexamethasone-induced growth retardation. By investigating these mechanisms, we found that dexamethasone activates caspase-8, -9 and -3 in proliferative chondrocytes. In addition, the Akt-PI3K signaling pathway, which plays a key role in the survival...
Signal processing approaches on otoacoustic emissions
(2000-09-29)
The recent achievement on the measurement of otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) is based on a novel technical development of digital signal processing. OAEs measured in the external ear canal are normal by-products of the active ...
Determination of transcription factor binding specificities
(2015-11-19)
The term "genetic code" refers to the way in which the information encoded in nucleic acids
is converted into the amino-acid sequence of proteins. There is however also a second genetic
code, one that is used by the cells ...
