Although platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is the plasma fraction that contains higher levels of platelet-sequestered proteins such as growth factors and chemokines, it is also abundant in bioactive lipids whose role in wound healing has not been well characterized. This study provides a preliminary evaluation for the effect of the lipid component of PRP on selected genes related to wound healing. Spr...

lactoferrin (lf) is an iron-binding multi-functional glycoprotein which has numerous physiological functions such as iron transportation, anti-microbial activity and immune response. in this study, different in silico approaches were exploited to investigate lf protein properties in a number of mammalian species. results showed that the iron-binding site, dna and rna-binding sites, signal pepti...

This grand aspiration subsumes the more modest research goal of simply characterizing the knowledge that people have of their native languages. Given this overlap in aims, it makes sense to leverage whatever is known about language itself in the pursuit of computational models of language use. Indeed, in confronting such a daunting challenge it would be foolish to waste intellectual resources d...

lactoferrin (lf) has antimicrobial properties against bacteria, fungi and several viruses including herpes virus, hiv and hepatitis c virus. the aim of this study was to detect lf in pmns and plasma of the patients suffering from hepatitis c and the healthy persons. the sonicated solutions of pmns of two groups were evaluated by sds-page (10%), isoelectric focusing (30%) and dot blotting .the l...

We sketch a methodology for the veriication of compiler correctness based on the LF Logical Framework as realized within the Elf programming language. We have applied this technique to specify, implement, and verify a compiler from a simple functional programming language to a variant of the Categorical Abstract Machine (CAM).

conclusions hcv coinfection, older age and ast were associated with lf in patients with hiv infection. objectives the aim of this cross-sectional study was to identify factors associated with liver fibrosis (lf) in patients with hiv monoinfection and hiv-hcv coinfection. patients and methods we analyzed lf by transient elastometry ([te], fibroscan) in three groups of patients (hiv, hiv-hcv and ...

Facility location problem (FLP) is a mathematical way to optimally locate facilities within a set of candidates to satisfy the requirements of a given set of clients. This study addressed the uncapacitated FLP as it assures that the capacity of every selected facility is finite. Thus, even if the demand is not known, which often is the case, in reality, organizations may still be able to take s...
