Low molecular weight hyaluronate (LMW-HA) blocks interactions between T lymphocyte CD44 and hyaluronate (HA), a heteropolysaccharide that is expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and ubiquitously in the extracellular matrix. This study was undertaken to assess the ability of LMW-HA to modify the course of experimental acute renal allograft rejection. Lewis (LEW) rats were bilaterally ne...

in order to study the effect of organic fertilizer on shoot yield and essential oil content of lavender, this experiment was conducted in the research institute of forest and rangelands, karaj, iran, in 2013-14. the treatment groups consisted of vermicompost (0, 5, 10 and 15 ton/ha) and cow manure (0, 10, 20 and 30 ton/ha). the experimental design was a factorial experiment based on randomized ...

An experiment was conducted at College Farm, of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad during rabi 2020-21 on loamy sand soils to study energy balance weed management practices in mustard. The studies were determined by using direct and indirect energy. Among the different practices, Stomp 30 % EC as PE fb straw mulch 5 t ha-1 recorded higher input. This treatment followed Goal 23.5 Raft 6 ha-1....

Soil fertility degradation remains the major biophysical cause of declining per capita crop production on smallholder farms in sub-Saharan Africa. Appropriate soil fertility regimes, are therefore, critical for improved crop productivity. This study investigated the feasibility of using sole organics or their combinations with inorganic fertilisers to improve maize (Zea mays) production in the ...

BACKGROUND Development of influenza vaccines that induce mucosal immunity has been highlighted by the World Health Organisation as a priority (Vaccine 2005;23:1529). Dose-sparing strategies and an efficient mass-vaccination regime will be paramount to reduce the morbidity and mortality of a future H5N1 pandemic. OBJECTIVES This study has investigated the immune response and the dose-sparing p...

INTRODUCTION We previously reported that in HIV-1 infected patients circulating Vdelta1 T lymphocytes (Vdelta1) increase and proliferate in vitro in response to Candida albicans (Ca). Herein, we analysed the effects of MF59 adjuvant on the Vdelta1 T cell responses to hemagglutinin (HA) and Ca in HIV-1 seropositive and seronegative adults after influenzal vaccine, to clarify th molecular mechani...

with considering importance of post harvest operation on quality criteria of pot marigold (calendula offıcinalis l.), the effect of flower nutrient source (organic inputs such as cattle manure (25 t ha-1), municipal waste compost (20 t ha-1), spent mushroom compost (15 t ha-1), vermicompost (15 t ha-1) and control) as well as different drying methods including microwave (300, 600 and 900 w), ov...
