Previous analyses of developmentally programmed capillary regression suggested two distinct causes of vascular endothelial cell (VEC) death. The first appeared to be macrophage-dependent (Lang, R. A. and Bishop, M. J. (1993) Cell 74, 453-462) while the second was proposed to result from cessation of blood flow (Lang, R. A., Lustig, M., Francois, F., Sellinger, M. and Plesken, H. (1994). Develop...

Endothelial glycocalyx (GCX) has been reported as a protective factor for vascular endothelial cells (VEC) in diabetes and hypertension. However, the involvement of GCX impairment in ocular vasculopathy remains unclear. We evaluated the changes in the GCX thicknesses of the retinal and choroidal capillaries in rats with diabetes and hypertension by cationic colloidal iron staining using a trans...

Introduction and notation. The sensitivity of computational problems is a major factor determining the accuracy of computations in machine arithmetic. It may be revealed and taken into account by the methods of perturbation analysis [14, 6]. Below we consider the technique of Lyapunov majorants for perturbation analysis of algebraic matrix equations F (A, X) = 0 arising in science and engineeri...

On October 27, 2015, talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC), a first in class intralesional oncolytic virotherapy, was granted the US Food and Drug Administration approval for the treatment of melanoma in the skin and lymph nodes. Its approval has added yet another therapeutic option to the growing list of effective therapies for melanoma. Though the Phase III OPTiM trial has demonstrated its efficac...

بیکاری یکی از مهم ترین چالش های دهه اخیر اقتصاد ایران بوده است. صنایع غذایی و آشامیدنی بیشترین نقش را در اشتغال تولیدات صنعتی کشور ایفا کرده است. در استان مازندارن به دلیل ظرفیت پایین بخش کشاورزی در ایجاد اشتغال و وجود نیروی کار فراوان ضرورت توجه به توسعه ی بخش غیرکشاورزی را مسلم می سازد. در این استان بیشترین سرمایه گذاری و تعداد شاغلین بر روی این صنایع می باشد. پژوهش حاضر در صدد بررسی اثر پذیر...
