An increased level of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is correlated with a worse prognosis. IL-6 stimulates tumor-growth and inflammation. We investigated the intricate interaction between the IL-6 signaling pathway and tumor-infiltrating myeloid cells (TIMs) to determine their prognostic impact in EOC. 160 EOC samples were analyzed for the expression of IL-6, its recept...

Virtual Engineering (VE) has always been a great aid in the design phase of manufacturing systems terms structural system description, behaviour simulation and interfacing between different subsystems. To this end, virtual engineering capabilities have strong potential to be employed sustainability at phases life cycle beyond phase. In response sustainable requirements (namely 6R), paper discus...

The K-region trans-5,6-dihydrodiols formed in the metabolism of 12-methylbenz[a]anthracene (12-MBA) by liver microsomal preparations from untreated, phenobarbital-treated and 3-methylcholanthrene-treated male Sprague-Dawley rats were found by chiral stationary-phase h.p.l.c. (c.s.p.-h.p.l.c.) analyses to contain (5S,6S)/(5R,6R) enantiomer ratios of 93:7, 88:12 and 97:3 respectively. The absolut...

.. Objectives: Interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) gene (A>C, rs8192284) polymorphism has been associated with inflammatory biomarkers. We sought to investigate the association of IL-6R gene (A>C, rs8192284) polymorphism with IL-6, IL-18 and hS-CRP levels in PCAD. Study Design: Case control study. Setting: Army Medical College, National University of Sciences and Technology, Islamabad, Pakistan Meth...

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is one of several pro-inflammatory cytokines present at elevated levels in the synovial fluid of individuals with confirmed clinical diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA). The mechanism of action of IL-6 was shown to involve its capacity to interact with a membrane-bound IL-6 receptor (mIL-6Rα), also known as the "classical" IL-6 pathway, or through...

The role of IL-6 signaling in renal diseases remains controversial, with data describing both anti-inflammatory and proinflammatory effects. IL-6 can act via classic signaling, engaging its two membrane receptors gp130 and IL-6 receptor (IL-6R). Alternatively, IL-6 trans-signaling requires soluble IL-6R (sIL-6R) to act on IL-6R-negative cells that express gp130. Here, we characterize the role o...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) that contributes to cardiovascular risk. Decreased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability is a major factor contributing to SNS overactivity in CKD, since reduced neuronal NO leads to increased central SNS activity. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential cofactor for nitric oxide synthase that ...

D mutants of wheat chromosomes (Endo, Four deletion mutants of rye chromosome 6R were identified in 1995; Endo and Gill, 1996) have proven to be progeny of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) lines of ph1bph1b genotype valuable tools for mapping molecular markers and morand monosomic for chromosome 6R. The rye chromosome carried a phological characters to physical segments of chromoresistance gene aga...

gait rehabilitation using body weight support on a treadmill is a recommended rehabilitation technique for neurological injuries, such as spinal cord injury. in this paper, a new robotic orthosis is presented for treadmill training. in the presented design the criteria such as low inertia of robot components, backdrivability, high safety and degrees of freedom based on human walking are conside...
