Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) inhibitors are immunosuppressive agents used in a variety of inflammatory diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), spondyloarthritis, psoriasis, and bowel disease (IBD). Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is an angioproliferative associated with the human herpes virus 8 (HHV-8). We present 46-year-old male patient ankylosing spondylitis (AS) treated TNF-α inhibitor ...

Background & Aim: Singhnad Guggulu is a traditional Ayurvedic formula for detoxifying and rejuvenating the joints. The present study was to investigate the α-amylase inhibition and antioxidant activities of aqueous extract of Singhnad Guggul (AESG). Experimental: α-Amylase inhibition assay by dinitro-salicylic acid method and antioxidant activity by ferric chelating and ferrous reducing assay....

Staphylococci isolated from 98 mastitic cow’s milk samples were analyzed for the production of alpha,beta and delta-hemolysin on sheep, bovine and horse red blood cells and in vitro susceptibility to several antimicrobial agents. Out of a total of 18 isolated strains, 100% demonstrated hemolytic activity either alone or in combined forms. Among 8 isolates of S. aureus 3 isolates produced α/β an...

Abstract We consider the 1 d one-component plasma in thermal equilibrium, consisting of N equally charged particles on a line, with pairwise Coulomb repulsion and confined by an external harmonic potential. study two observables: (i) distribution gap between consecutive bulk (ii) number I fixed interval = [− L , + ] inside bulk, so-called full-counting-statistics (FCS). For both observables, we...

Abstract In this paper, we will study the Hardy and BMO spaces associated to generalized operator $$L_{\alpha }= (-\Delta )^{\alpha /2}+a|x|^{-\alpha }$$ L α = ( - Δ ) </mml:m...

Inspired by the remarkable performance of the Leray-α (and the Navier–Stokes alpha (NS-α), also known as the viscous Camassa–Holm) subgrid scale model of turbulence as a closure model to Reynolds averaged equations (RANS) for flows in turbulent channels and pipes, we introduce in this paper another subgrid scale model of turbulence, the modified Leray-α (ML-α) subgrid scale model of turbulence....

In this study, we report differences in the observed gliding speed of microtubules dependent on the choice of bovine casein used as a surface passivator. We observed differences in both speed and support of microtubules in each of the assays. Whole casein, comprised of α(s1), α(s2), β, and κ casein, supported motility and averaged speeds of 966±7 nm/s. Alpha casein can be purchased as a combina...

Ternary planar heterojunction organic solar cells (PHJ-OPVs) were fabricated using three small molecules, alpha-sexithiophene (α-6T), aluminum phthalocyanine chloride (AlPcCl) and fullerene (C60). These molecules can be easily sublimated under a vacuum; they have complementary optical absorption spectra their energy band structure alignment is favorable for electronic charge transfers. Moreover...

Objective. The aim of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the salivary tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) level in oral lichen planus patients and to compare the levels of TNF-α between saliva and serum of OLP and controls. Methods. Serum and whole saliva from 30 patients with active lesions of oral lichen planus (OLP) and 30 healthy persons were investigated for the presence of TNF-α by...
