In previous studies we found that anionic surfactants such as sodium laurate (SL) and/or sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) exert actions on epidermal keratinocytes rather than mast cells to give rise of histamine production and skin itching through increasing the expression of the 53-kDa active form of L-histidine decarboxylase (HDC). In addition, with treatment of SL in a three-dimensional human ker...

threatening diseases often inspire hope, patient demand, and physician enthusiasm before evaluation. In the late 1980s, highdose chemotherapy/autologous bone marrow transplantation (HDC/ABMT) emerged as a promising medical procedure for treating metastatic and high-risk breast cancer. But procedures, unlike new drugs, face no requirement for evaluation by randomized clinical trials (RCTs). In t...

The ablation material used during the National Ignition Campaign, a glowdischarge polymer (GDP), does not couple as efficiently as simulations indicated to the multipleshock inducing radiation drive environment created by laser power profile [1]. We investigate the performance of two other ablators, boron carbide (B4C) and high-density carbon (HDC) and compare with GDP under the same hohlraum c...

Limiting casting expression speed was obtained and the flow redistribution thermal history in a horizontal direct-chill (HDC) predicted using numerical modeling approach. The governing solidification equations were non-dimensionalized to understand relevant contribution of each term processes HDC system. effect an increase on characteristics sump length represented by Péclet number Pe.

A miniature, multifunctional hybrid organic directional coupler (HDC), constructed from two different flexible crystals, splits the optical signal and delivers input-dependent outputs.

Processing large amounts of data, especially in learning algorithms, poses a challenge for current embedded computing systems. Hyperdimensional (HD) (HDC) is brain-inspired paradigm that works with high-dimensional vectors called hypervectors . HDC replaces several complex computations bitwise and simpler arithmetic operations at the expense an increased amount data due to mapping into space. T...

• 1,2-hexadecene carbonate (HDC) was prepared from CO 2 using a green catalytic system. HDC identified as promising surfactant for the formation of nanoemulsions between water and hexane. The most stable w/o emulsion hexane achieved with 50:50 % in volume (w/v) HDC. addition CaCl enhanced stability emulsion. Two long alkyl chain cyclic carbonates, 1,2-dodecene (DDC), were synthesised via approa...

It has long been established that histamine plays a role as a mediator of inflammation. From numerous studies, it has been well known that the amine has many pharmacological actions on a variety of organs. To evaluate the role of histamine in pain perception, we generated HDC knockout mice using a gene targeting method. Histamine is a hydrophilic autacoid, and in most tissues it is stored and s...

Relapse after high-dose chemotherapy supported by peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (HDC-PBSCT) is the main cause of therapeutic failure in patients with lymphoma and breast cancer. Adoptive immunotherapy with activated natural killer (A-NK) cells and interleukin 2 might eliminate surviving residual tumor without adding to toxicity. Eleven patients with relapsed lymphoma and one with m...
