Amino-acid substitutions in the IKAP gene product significantly increase risk for bronchial asthma in children [PDF]
The complex etiology of bronchial asthma (BA), one of the most common inflammatory diseases throughout the world, involves a combination of various genetic and environmental factors. A number of investigators have undertaken linkage and association studies to shed light on the genetic background of BA, but the genetic aspects of this disease are still ...

IKAP/hELP1 down-regulation in neuroblastoma cells causes enhanced cell adhesion mediated by contactin overexpression [PDF]
A splicing mutation in the IKBKAP gene encoding the IKAP/hELP1 (IKAP) protein was found to be the major cause of Familial Dysautonomia (FD). This mutation affects both the normal development and survival of sensory and sympathetic neurons of the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

The presence of Y chromosome leads to the difference of cancer in patients with different sexes [PDF]
(A) In the case of LOY, the proportion of T cells and suppressor macrophages rises and T cells enhance the expression of TOX, eventually leading to the metastasis of the tumor. (B) KRASmut enhances the gene expression of KDM5D, leading to a decreased expression of the AMOT and TAP1/2 downstream of KDM5D.

Prevalence and risk factors analysis of early postoperative arrhythmia after congenital heart surgery in pediatric patients [PDF]
Our study in Bali, Indonesia reveals 15.2% prevalence of early postoperative arrhythmias following cardiac surgery for congenital heart defects. Notably, complete heart block (CHB) is the most common arrhythmia. Key risk factors identified are cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) duration and potassium levels.

Millest me räägime, kui räägime aktiivõppest keeletunnis? Eesti keele kui teise keele tund IKAP-mudelis [PDF]
Eesti keele kui teise keele õpetamine ei paista eksamitulemuste valguses kuigi tõhus: vaid veidi rohkem kui pooled põhikoolilõpetajad sooritavad eesti keele kui teise keele riigieksami riiklikus õppekavas ettenähtud B1 tasemel.
