the solvatochromism of fluoresceine and its derivatives was studied in solvents of different hydrogen bond donor (hbd), hydrogen bond acceptor (hba), donor number (dn) and acceptor number (an) by their uv-vis spectra. results showed that position, intensity and shape of absorption bands change with type of solvent. these changes can be rationalized by solvatochromic parameters such as α, β, et ...

Plantar shear stress has been held accountable as a causative factor in diabetic foot ulcers (DFU) (1,2). Delbridge et al. (2) recognized shear stress as a major causative factor by stating that it is shear rather than vertical load that is responsible for tissue breakdown that occurs deep to the skin. Historically, research in this area has been hampered by an underestimation of the importance...

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) remains an unmet medical challenge as its prevalence is projected to continue to increase and specific medicines for treatment remain undeveloped. Activation of the immune system, in particular T-cells, is emerging as a possible mechanism underlying DN disease progression in humans and animal models. We hypothesized that inhibition of T-cell activation will ameliorate ...

The aim of the study was to find the correlation between CRP and chemerin in development of DN. We choose 90 type-2 diabetic patients between February 2010 and February 2013, who were then divided into DN group and healthy control group. The results of BP showed that there is no difference in SBP and DBP of patients in the three groups. HDL-C of patients in diabetic group and DN group is lower ...

BACKGROUND Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a common complication of diabetes, caused by diabetic microvascular lesions. The pathogenesis of DN is complicated, involving genetics, physics, chemistry, and environmental factors. Chemerin is a fat cell factor that participates in regulating inflammation. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) promotes vascular endothelial cell proliferation, differ...

In this article, we obtain two sets of results. The first set results are for the case bi-disc while second describe in part, which these carry over to general poly-disc. A classification irreducible hermitian holomorphic vector bundles D2, homogeneous with respect Möb×Möb, is obtained assuming that associated representations multiplicity-free. Among ones give rise an operator Cowen-Douglas cla...
