Background: CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes have been recently divided based on their cytokine expression profile. Objective: To evaluate the percentages of CD8+ lymphocytes and their effector subsets including Tc1, Tc2 and Tc17 in the tumor draining lymph nodes (TDLNs) of patients with breast cancer. Methods: Single cell suspensions were obtained from TDLNs of 42 patients with breast cancer. Stai...

BACKGROUND B cells play a role in pregnancy due to their humoral and regulatory activities. To our knowledge, different maturational stages (from transitional to memory) of circulating B cell subsets have not yet been characterized (cell quantification and phenotype identification) in healthy pregnant women. Thus, the objective of our study was to characterize these subsets (as well as regulato...

let $g$ be a group and $mathcal{n}$ be the class of all nilpotent groups. a subset $a$ of $g$ is said to be nonnilpotent if for any two distinct elements $a$ and $b$ in $a$, $langle a, brangle notin mathcal{n}$. if, for any other nonnilpotent subset $b$ in $g$, $|a|geq |b|$, then $a$ is said to be a maximal nonnilpotent subset and the cardinality of this subset (if it exists) is denoted by $ome...

The heterogeneity of CD4+ T cells has been investigated since the late 1970s, when their Th1 and Th2 subsets were coined. Later studies on the cutaneous form of the Leishmaniasis were focused on the experimental models of Leishmania major infection using the susceptible BALB/c and the resistant C57BL/6 mice. At the early 21st century, the regulatory T-cells subpopulation was introduced and its ...

Background: Protective immune responses induced in the majority of people infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis enable them to control TB infection. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate CD56 and CD16 positive peripheral blood mononu-clear cells (PBMCs) and leukocyte subsets from multi-drug resistant pulmonary tuber-culosis (MDR-TB), and compare them with nonresistant (NR) TB p...

Feature selection for various applications has been carried out for many years in many different research areas. However, there is a trade-off between finding feature subsets with minimum length and increasing the classification accuracy. In this paper, a filter-wrapper feature selection approach based on fuzzy-rough gain ratio is proposed to tackle this problem. As a search strategy, a modifie...

In this paper, we have generalized the definition of vector space by considering the group as a canonical $m$-ary hypergroup, the field as a krasner $(m,n)$-hyperfield and considering the multiplication structure of a vector by a scalar as hyperstructure. Also we will be consider a normed $m$-ary hypervector space and introduce the concept of convergence of sequence on $m$-ary hypernormed space...
