silybum marianum, is known to have anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective and anticarciogenic effects. the aim of this study was to compare effects of silymarin, rapamycin and fk506 on proliferation and apoptosis of human t cells stimulated with con a. peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmc) were stimulated with concavalin a  ( con a) (5µg/ml) and then treated with different inhibitors (silymari...

Human neutrophil polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) were studied to determine the influence of cellular locomotion upon the redistribution and capping of concanavalin A (Con A). Con A was detected by fluorescence (using Con A conjugated to fluorescein isothiocyanate [Con A-FITC]), or on shadow-cast replicas (using Busycon canaliculatum hemocyanin as a marker for Con A). After labeling with Con ...

We compared the effects of concentric (Con) and eccentric (Ecc) isokinetic training on quadriceps muscle strength, cross-sectional area, and neural activation. Women (age 20.0 +/- 0.5 yr) randomly assigned to Con training (CTG; n = 16), Ecc training (ETG; n = 19), and control (CG; n = 19) groups were tested before and after 10 wk of unilateral Con or Ecc knee-extension training. Average torque ...

We develop diagram techniques for proving con uence in abstract reduc tions systems The underlying theory gives a systematic and uniform framework in which a number of known results widely scattered through out the literature can be understood These results include Newman s Lemma Lemma of Winkler and Buchberger the Hindley Rosen Lemma the Request Lemmas of Staples the Strong Con uence Lemma of ...

Resumen. La Evolución Diferencial es una metaheurı́stica poblacional que ha sido ampliamente utilizada para la Optimización de problemas de Caja Negra. La muta es el operador principal de búsqueda en Evolución Diferencial, del cual hay diferentes esquemas reportados en el estado del arte; sin embargo dichos esquemas carecen de mecanismos para realizar una intensificación los cuales pueden permit...

Using icons as handles to objects allows for a new simple design paradigm for user interfaces. The key is a concept that inherits icons from graphical user interfaces and the interpretation of sequential text from traditional text interfaces. The basic tool is the object oriented text model. It is shown what power lies in the introduction of icons into text as well as how icons can be used in a...

In this paper we present a work dealing with opinion analysis carried out thanks to an innovative approach based on ontology matching. The aim of this work is to allow two enterprises to share and merge the results of opinion analyses on their own products and services.

eNCE (edge label neighborhood controlled) graph grammars belong to the most powerful graph rewriting systems with single-node graphs on the left-hand side of the productions. From an algorithmic point of view, connuent and boundary eNCE graph grammars are the most interesting subclasses of eNCE graph grammars. In connuent eNCE graph grammars, the order in which nonterminal nodes are substituted...
