interleukin (il)-25, a cytokine of il-17 family, can activate p38 mitogen-activated protein kinases(mapk) and nuclear factor(nf)-κb pathways to propagate th2 responses. the allergic rhinitis mouse model was established by stimulating balb/c mouse with ovalbumin (ova). then we detected expression of il-25 and downstream p38mapk and nf-κb. the expression of il-25, p38mapk and nf-κb were detected ...

Critical Micelle Concentration (CMC) is the key point for surface chemistry as well as chemist and systematic data collection and day-to-day development in this regard is very essential. Hence, we have analyzed the CMC of surfactant, mixed surfactant and polymer at room temperature (28C), with the change in surfactant, mixed surfactant and polymer concentration CMC values were observed by two m...

NF-κB pathway is a link between inflammation and cancer and is involved in cellular responses to different stimuli. Gastrointestinal lumen is exposed to many inflammatory agents such as foods, free radicals and bacterial or viral antigens. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible role of NF-κB1in gastric adenocarcinoma. To detect the relative level of NF-κB1transcript, total RN...

This study aimed to quantify survival in Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium isolates on melon rind surface samples achieved by sanitizer treatment under three differing contamination sanitization scenarios. Sanitizing treatments consisted of the plant-derived antimicrobial (PDA) essential oil component (EOC) geraniol (0.5 wt.%) entrapped polymeric surfactant Pl...

Surfactant protein (SP)-D plays an important role in host defense and pulmonary surfactant homeostasis. In SP-D-deficient (Sftpd(-/-)) mice, the abnormal large surfactant forms seen at the ultrastructural level are taken up inefficiently by type II cells, resulting in an over threefold increase in the surfactant pool size. The mechanisms by which SP-D influences surfactant ultrastructure are un...

Adjuvants have been used to improve pesticide application efficiency and effectiveness for many years. However, knowledge on quantitative reactions of adjuvant-amended pesticide droplets on Article Request Page http://asae.frymulti.com/azdez.asp?JID=5&AID=29662&CID=pitt2010&T=1[12/28/2010 12:43:57 PM] foliage is lacking. Evaporation rate and wetted area of 500 μm droplets with four different ad...

Pneumatic extrusion-based bioprinting is a recent and interesting technology that is very useful for biomedical applications. However, many process parameters in the bioprinter need to be fully understood in order to print at an adequate resolution. In this paper, a simple yet accurate mathematical model to predict the printed width of a continuous hydrogel line is proposed, in which the resolu...
