Note that an increase of both XR and UG activity levels is required to switch from a BP000-like phenotype to a CBS4435-like phenotype.
Medical education: level (ie, UG or PG) and medical school (ie, NOSM or other school).
Cohorts are stratified by medical school (ie, NOSM vs other), education level (ie, UG vs PG) and medical specialty (ie, family medicine vs other specialties).
Six groups are defined on three dimensions: (1) learners' medical school (ie, NOSM vs other medical schools); (2) medical education level (ie, UG vs PG) and (3) medical discipline (ie, family medicine vs other specialties).
Individual changes of XR (ninefold) and XDH (2.4-fold) activity levels led to a fourfold and 1.2-fold increase of qxylose, respectively, while changing the activity level of UG (13-fold) resulted in large decreases of both qxylose (2.5-fold) and Yxylitol (5.3-fold).
For example, Pronk et al. reported average REC levels in UG non-metal mines of 148 and 202 µg/m (Pronk et al., 2009 ); average UG exposure was estimated as 128 µg/m in this study, with a high of 216 µg/m in one of the potash mines.
It is important to note that to measure LC3II protein levels, 30 ug of total protein from DLM8 were loaded to a SDS-PAGE gel, while only 7.5 ug of total protein from K7M3 were loaded.
In addition, the tracking study is able to isolate the influence of different medical schools (ie, NOSM vs other) at different levels (ie, UG vs PG), and for different medical disciplines (ie, family medicine vs other specialties).
Activity level estimates for UG were 13 ± 1-fold higher for CBS4435, while those of PP and UG were not distinguishable (Fig. 5c).
