We present a fast algorithm with small memory storage to compute the spatiotemporal boundary integral equation method (ST-BIEM) particularly for elastodynamic problem. The time complexity of convolution and consumption store kernel convolved variables are originally $\mathcal O(N^2M)$ in ST-BIEM given number discretized fault elements $N$ steps $M$. Such huge costs reduced be O(N \log N)$ by ou...

PURPOSE The side-to-side (SS) tendon suture technique was designed to function as a repair that permits immediate postoperative activation and mobilization of a transferred muscle. This study was designed to test the strength and stiffness of the SS technique against a variation of the Pulvertaft (PT) repair technique. METHODS Flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) and flexor digitorum profundu...

Concentrations of cross-linked fibrin degradation products (XL-FDPs) in plasma, measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) based on monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) raised against fragment D-dimer of cross-linked fibrin, increase when patients are given fibrinolytic agents. Whether XL-FDPs derive from circulating cross-linked fibrin polymers in plasma, compared with clot-associated fib...

various inflammatory skin disorders, skin cancer formation, phototoxicity, and skin aging. ROS can oxidize cellular constituents, leading to the formation of oxidized products such as 8-hydroxyguanosine, lipid hydroperoxides, and protein carbonyls. Skin cells are protected against oxidative injury by a variety of antioxidative components such as copper–zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu, Zn SOD), ma...

AIM To investigate and compare the fracture strength and fracture mode in eleven groups of currently, the most commonly used multilayer three-unit all-ceramic yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) with respect to the choice of core material, veneering material area, manufacturing technique, design of connectors, and radii of curvature of FDP co...

Objective To study the clinical effect of ganglioside (GM) and fructose-1, 6-diphosphate (FDP) on neonatal heart and brain injuries after asphyxia. Methods Ninety-one neonates with asphyxia neonatal heart and brain injuries were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group. Both groups were given symptomatic treatment as soon as possible. On this basis, the observation group...

Strain NP 315 of Escherichia coli possesses a thermolabile fructose-1, 6-diphosphate (FDP) aldolase; its growth on carbohydrate substrates is inhibited probably as a consequence of the accumulation of high intracellular levels of FDP. Studies of one class of phenotypic revertants of strain NP 315 which have regained their ability to grow on C(6) substrates at 40 C showed that in these strains t...

Early after liver transplantation, patients are in a hypercoagulable state because of an imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis because of the slow recovery of depleted anticoagulant proteins. Antithrombin (AT) is used in anticoagulant protocols to prevent thrombosis. The subjects of the present study were 17 men and eight women that underwent living donor liver transplantation. The ini...

Type L pyruvate kinase from rat liver has been further studied. The allosteric properties of the enzyme are strongly affected by changes in the hydrogen ion concentration of the assay medium. At pH values lower than 7, the enzyme obeys Michaelis-Menten kinetics with respect to one of the substrates (phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)) and cannot be activated by fructose 1,6-diphosphate (FDP). In additio...

Plasma and serum from patients with liver disease and elevated fibrin(ogen) degradation product (FDP) levels as measured by latex agglutination were analyzed by immunoblotting to characterize the FDP in these patients. An antihuman fibrinogen antibody was used that recognizes fibrinogen, fibrin monomer, soluble high molecular weight fibrinogen and fibrin polymers, as well as high molecular weig...
