Background and objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a complex and systemic inflammatory disease in which the immune response is disturbed. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter regions of regulatory cytokines including interleukin-10 (IL-10) may lead to exacerbated immune response and increased risk of RA. Here, we aimed to assess the association of IL-10 -1082 (G/A) (rs180...

Context. Sulphur is an element which is formed in the α-process and is easily measured in the gaseous phase in external galaxies. Since it does not form dust, it is the preferred indicator for α-elements, rather than Si or Mg, for which dust corrections are necessary. The measurement of the sulphur abundance in stars is not an easy task, relying mainly on high excitation lines with non-negligib...

OBJECTIVES Interleukin (IL) -10 is a potent cytokine with a dual ability to immunosuppress or immunostimulate. We aimed to explore the association of IL10 promoter polymorphisms with risk of gastric cancer (GC) in a Han population in Southwestern China. METHODS We enrolled 308 pairs of GC and control subjects from four hospitals and a community between October 2010 and August 2011 in a 1:1 ma...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in interleukin-10 (IL-10) genes can influence immune responses, which may affect the outcome of patients with lymphoid neoplasms. The aim of this study was to explore the association between polymorphisms of IL-10-(1082A>G) and IL-10-(3575T>A) with the overall survival in patients with lymphoid neoplasms. DESIGN AND METHODS We an...

The pH jump data of Bianchi and Strobel [(1968) Trans. N.Y. Acad. Sci. Ser. II, 30, 1082-1092] on desheathed frog sciatic nerve are fitted to rate equations. A general quantitation of synergism, summation, and antagonism of anesthetics and of excitation is given.
