abstract this study addresses two dimensional infiltration from irrigated furrows. the basic approach is to develop a two-dimensional infiltration as a combination of the corresponding one-dimensional vertical and an edge effect. the edge effect is the difference between the cumulative infiltration per unit of adjusted wetting perimeter and the corresponding one-dimensional infiltration. this a...

<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EoG) is a rare condition with yet poorly understood pathophysiology. <b><i>Case Presentation:</i></b> We report on case of 36-year-old woman history atopy presenting nausea, abdominal discomfort, weight loss, and ascites. Laboratorial analysis revealed peripheral eosinophilia slight elevati...

Chemerin15 (C15), an endogenous anti-inflammatory component, inhibits the activity of neutrophils and macrophages through G protein-coupled receptor ChemR23; however, its role as well as functional mechanism in mouse myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury remains unknown. Methods. Sham or I/R operations were performed on C57BL/6J mice. The I/R mice received an injection of C15 immediately...

Graves' disease (GD) is associated with T cell infiltration, but the mechanism for lymphocyte trafficking has remained uncertain. We reported previously that fibroblasts from patients with GD express IL-16, a CD4-specific chemoattractant, and RANTES, a C-C chemokine, in response to GD-specific IgG (GD-IgG). We unexpectedly found that these responses result from a functional interaction between ...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of alprostadil (prostaglandin [PGE1] analog) and iloprost (prostacyclin [PGI2] analog) on renal, lung, and skeletal muscle tissues after ischemia reperfusion (I/R) injury in an experimental rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Wistar albino rats underwent 2 hours of ischemia via infrarenal aorta clamping with subsequent 2 hours of reperfusion. Alprostadil and il...

PURPOSE Nonmelanoma skin cancer is the most common cancer and comprises basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The incidence of SCC increases drastically in immunosuppressed individuals, suggesting a critical role of the immune system in controlling SCC. To find an explanation for the selective immunosurveillance of SCC, we investigated the expression of cancer-testis (CT...

In dentin restoration, collagen fiber network infiltration is an issue. Using data from the litterature, we have constructed a relevant numerical geometrical model of the network. The specificity of our model is that the fibers are taken into account implicitly using a regularized Heaviside function. This function is either used to set the viscosity or to localize the contact line where capilla...

Introduction: Measures of hip muscle morphology and composition (e.g., size fatty infiltration) are possible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Standardised protocols or guidelines do not exist for evaluation characteristics, hindering reliable valid inter-study analysis. This scoping review aimed to collate synthesise MRI methods measuring lateral infiltration inform the future development...

Estimates of the amount stormwater captured by urban trees have focused on rainfall intercepted leaves and branches, while runoff that flows into a tree pit from surrounding sidewalk has not been well quantified. This study estimated infiltrates first calculating tributary drainage area drains to street pits varying widths slopes. With Manhattan, New York, as case study, used i-Tree software fi...
