Serum amyloid P (SAP) is a common component of human amyloid deposits and has been identified in atherosclerotic lesions. We investigated the extent of the colocalization of SAP with apolipoprotein A-I (apoA-I), apoB, apoC-II, and apoE in human coronary arteries and explored potential roles for SAP in these regions, specifically the effect of SAP on the rate of formation and macrophage recognit...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Upregulated CD64 expression on neutrophils is the most useful marker for acute bacterial infections and systemic inflammation. However, it is unknown whether CD64 is involved in the pathogenesis of acute pancreatitis (AP). This study was designed to determine whether CD64 is implicated in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), and thus, is a suitable marker for SAP. METHODS SAP was ...

A full decomposition of the predictive entropy (PE) of the spontaneous variations of the heart period (HP) given systolic arterial pressure (SAP) and respiration (R) is proposed. The PE of HP is decomposed into the joint transfer entropy (JTE) from SAP and R to HP and self-entropy (SE) of HP. The SE is the sum of three terms quantifying the synergistic/redundant contributions of HP and SAP, whe...

SAP applications can often comprise the core of IT operations in large enterprises. Companies that outsource their SAP landscape and basic operation to a private cloud can manage their resources flexibly in a way that meets demand and saves costs. Dynamic Services for SAP Solutions* and Application Operations for SAP Solutions* form a private cloud solution from TSystems which comprises both th...

This study aims to examine cash basis income (LRA-income) and accrual (LO-income) in the financial statement of provincial gov ernments Indonesia. The sample this used 33 provinces Indonesia within a period 10 years from 2010-2019. results indicate that there is significant difference increase total LRA-LRA LRA-LO LKPD before after application based SAP. There local revenue accrual-based taxes ...

In this paper we assume that all actuators are mobile and an event was reported to one of the actuators, and a response by one actuator is required. The goal of actuator task assignment is to select the best actuator for responding to a reported event so that communication cost for selecting, and response time for performing the task are minimized. Existing solutions, except those proposed in [...

INTRODUCTION The use of antimicrobial prophylaxis for surgical procedures is one of the measures employed to prevent the development of surgical site infections (SSI). The appropriate choice of antimicrobial agents, dosage regimen, timing, duration and use of intravenous route must be evidence based. This study aimed to assess the practice of surgical antibiotic prophylaxis and adherence of pra...

The secondary structures of human C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid P component (SAP) in D2O-based solutions in the presence or absence of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorylcholine have been investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Quantitative analysis provided estimations of about 50% beta-sheet, 12% alpha-helix, 24% beta-turn, and 14% unordered structure for CRP a...
