Background The efficacy of belimumab (BEL) for maintenance therapy in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) remains unclear. Furthermore, the effects BLM on peripheral blood immunophenotype SLE are unknown. Objectives Patients phase were analyzed to determine relationship between BEL and immunophenotypes. This study aimed identify whom was optimal by clinical findings Methods In this...

BACKGROUND Prostaglandins (PG), produced by the uterine endometrium, are key regulators of several reproductive events, including estrous cyclicity, implantation, pregnancy maintenance and parturition. Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) catalyzes the release of arachidonic acid from membrane phospholipids, the rate-limiting step in PG biosynthesis. The bovine endometrial (BEND) cell line has served as a m...

The classification and nomenclature of retrotransposable elements is reviewed. A comparison is made between the initial classification summarized in Capy et al. (1997b), and the more recent proposal based on the classificat...

We review our recent work on the classification of finite time singularities that arise in isotropic universes. This scheme is based on the exploitation of the Bel Robinson energy in a cosmological setting. We comment on the relation between geodesic completeness and the Bel Robinson energy and present evidence that relates the divergence of the latter to the existence of closed trapped surfaces.

there are few  shiite poets or authors who have defended the holy prophet(pbuh& hp) and his household and have not been under various accusations. this paper examines the contradictory views of historians in introducing shiite   poets, among which de'bel kazaee (martyred 246 lunar) is selected. the paper tries to answer  the following questions: considering all these contradictions can one...

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of folic acid-modified magnetic nanoparticles (FA-MNPs) combined with a 100 Hz extremely low-frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) on the apoptosis of liver cancer BEL-7402 cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS MNPs (20 nm) were prepared by coprecipitation, and then folic acid was coated onto MNPs to prepare FA-MNPs. BEL-7402 cells and HL7702 cells were selected as ...

Osmotic swelling of NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts activates a bromoenol lactone (BEL)-sensitive taurine efflux, pointing to the involvement of a Ca(2+)-independent phospholipase A(2) (iPLA(2)) (Lambert IH. J Membr Biol 192: 19-32, 2003). We report that taurine efflux from NIH3T3 cells was not only increased by cell swelling but also decreased by cell shrinkage. Arachidonic acid release to the cell e...

We study the problem of reasoning in the probabilistic Description Logic BEL. Using a novel structure, we show that probabilistic reasoning in this logic can be reduced in polynomial time to standard inferences over a Bayesian network. This reduction provides tight complexity bounds for probabilistic reasoning in BEL.
