Plasma non-transferrin-bound-iron (NTBI) is believed to be responsible for catalyzing the formation of reactive radicals in the circulation of iron overloaded subjects, resulting in accumulation of oxidation products. We assessed the redox active component of NTBI in the plasma of healthy and beta-thalassemic patients. The labile plasma iron (LPI) was determined with the fluorogenic dihydrorhod...

Labile plasma iron (LPI) represents the redox active component of non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI). Its presence in thalassemic patients has been recently reported. The aim of the present study was to quantify LPI in HFE genetic hemochromatosis (GH) and to characterize the mechanisms accounting for its appearance. We studied 159 subjects subdivided into the following groups: (1) 23 with iron o...

Abstract Central Sulawesi Province is one of the areas in Indonesia that prone to large earthquakes. Balaroa, Petobo, and Sibalaya were among most fatalities damaged facilities infrastructure due earthquake on September 28th 2018. Around Balaroa Village, besides huge damages Perumnas Housing, area around housing was also affected, for example Jamur, Kelor, Labu streets, many houses buildings da...

Late preterm infants (LPI) represent a growing population with own peculiar vulnerabilities; only recently attention has been focused on the impact of late preterm birth on child health, in order to define short and long-term outcomes [1,2]. LPI are physiologically and metabolically immature; they are at higher risk than term infants of developing medical complications, resulting in greater rat...

lightning is a characteristic of severe weather and often associated with hail and heavy rainfall. it is a natural hazard with potential threat to human life and considerable damages to aviation structures. therefore, lightning prediction is critical and the real-time lightning detection systems are able to determine the location of cloud-to-ground (cg) lightning strikes accurately.generally ma...

This research papers aims to evaluate the impact of two major institutional indexes logistics performance index (LPI) and ease doing business (EODB) along with cost (LC) on economic development (Gross domestic product – GDP per capita). The variables selected for study provides comprehensive forms core economy any country. Top seven economies world (China, France, Germany, India, Japan, United ...

The lateral posterior (LP)-pulvinar complex of the cat is known to contain multiple visual areas. In the present study, we examined the receptive field properties of single neurons isolated in the lateral division of this complex (the LPI). The LPI is designated the striate-recipient zone because it is the only region of the LP-pulvinar receiving cortical projections from areas 17 and 18. The r...

Analysis of long-term data on the state populations entomofauna in agricultural landscapes is practical importance for determining feasibility chemical protection agroecosystems. Through example species a harmful entomological complex winter wheat different natural and climatic zones Ukraine, dynamics population size insects under global warming indicator living planet index (LPI) have been stu...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The glycerol-based lysophospholipid lysophosphatidylinositol (LPI) is an endogenous agonist of the G-protein-coupled receptor 55 (GPR55) exhibiting cannabinoid receptor-like properties in endothelial cells. To estimate the contribution of GPR55 to the physiological effects of LPI, the GPR55-dependent and -independent electrical responses in this cell type were investigate...
