background: atp-binding cassette transporter a1 (abca1) is a membrane integral protein which plays a vital role in high density lipoprotein (hdl) metabolism and exerts a protective effect against hypoalphalipoproteinemia (ha) by mediation of rate-limiting step in hdl biogenesis. in addition, this protein possesses anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of some inflammatory cytok...

conclusions the most effective enhancer for aha and ha were liquid paraffin and glycerol, respectively. the most effective surfactant for both aha and ha was tween 80. the effects of the enhancers were increased by prolonging the exposure time. results after 1.5 and 12 hours, the maximum permeated amount of aha were 89.8 and 342.5 mg, respectively, which related to the formulations with liquid ...

This paper presents the influence of sewage sludge (SS) on biometric parameters, absorption mineral elements and thermal characteristics sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.) grown Technosol. Two types were used: unmodified modified with DAMET flocculant. Each type was applied in three doses (expressed as dry matter basis, DM): 20 t DM/ha, 40 DM/ha 60 respectively. The yield fresh biomass depended...

Immune tolerance to self-antigens is established during lymphocyte differentiation in the thymus, but a simple means to induce antigen-specific tolerance in the thymus is still elusive. We show here that intrathymic injection of a lentiviral vector expressing the hemagglutinin antigen (HA) in TCR-HA transgenic mice resulted in negative selection of HA-specific effector T cells and sustained pos...

Carbon dioxide is an important greenhouse gas and a major agent of climate change. This study quantified carbon (C) emissions from energy consumption and C storage and uptake by greenspace for three cities in middle Korea: Chuncheon, Kangleung, and Seoul. Carbon emissions were estimated using C emission coefficients for fossil fuels consumed. Carbon storage and uptake by woody plants were compu...

Since HA-1-specific T cells have been shown to make a significant contribution to the clinical responses in patients with relapsed leukemia, we investigated the feasibility of adoptive transfer of in vitro induced HA-1-specific CD8 positive T cells to patients with relapsed leukemia after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. The in vitro generation of clinical grade HA-1-specific T-cell lines ...

Targeting of antigens to immature dendritic cells has been shown to result in antigen-specific T-cell tolerance in vivo. In the INS-HA/TCR-HA transgenic mouse model for type 1 diabetes, we tested the potential of the dendritic cell-specific monoclonal antibody DEC-205 conjugated to the hemagglutinin (HA) antigen (DEC-HA) to prevent disease onset. Whereas untreated INS-HA/TCR-HA mice all develop...

The main objective of this work was to assess the performance combined processes, adsorption/ photodegradation ciprofloxacin antibiotic (CIP). Adsorption achieved on natural hydroxyapatite (nat-HA) in batch mode. effect pH (3–12), initial concentration (C0, 25–200 mg L?1), adsorbent dose (m, 0.25–3 g and temperature (T, 298–328 K) adsorption capacity studied. At 298 K, maximum uptake 147.7 g?1 ...

The field experiment was conducted during Rabi season, 2021 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, Naini Agricultural Institute, SHUATS, Prayagraj (U.P) under sandy loam soil conditions. laid out in Randomized Block Design with nine treatments each replicated thrice comprising three levels Zinc (6, 8 and 10 kg/ha) sulphur (20 kg S/ha, 40 S/ha 60 S/ha). results showed that the growth par...
