Cell-mediated immunity to herpes simplex virus and cytomegalovirus, using the lymphocyte transformation test and interferon induction in lymphocytes, was studied in 59 patients from 1 day to 7 years after allotransplantation and compared with the results in normal subjects. Both parameters were permanently depressed with regard to cytomegalovirus. With herpes simplex virus, interferon productio...

Recent work has shown that the new antiviral acyclovir (acycloguanasine) is a highly effective antiviral drug against the herpes simplex virus."2 It acts mainly on virally infected cells by blocking viral particle formation before the particles pass through the nuclear membrane3 by means of inhibiting viral DNA polymerase after being converted by virally specific thymidine kinase.4 In tissue cu...

Abstract In this paper we have investigated a fuzzy linear programming problem with fuzzy quantities which are LR triangular fuzzy numbers. The given linear programming problem is rearranged according to the satisfactory level of constraints using breaking point method. By considering the constraints, the arranged problem has been investigated for all optimal solutions connected with satisf...

A central aim of modeling complex networks is to accurately embed in order detect structures and predict link node properties. The Latent Space Model (LSM) has become a prominent framework for embedding includes the Distance (LDM) Eigenmodel (LEM) as most widely used LSM specifications. For latent community detection, space LDMs been endowed with clustering model whereas LEMs have constrained p...

A neonate with herpes simplex pneumonia is described. Herpes simplex infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pneumonia in newborn infants, even in the absence of clinically apparent herpes in the mother.

We investigate the problem of finding the first basic solution in the simplex algorithm. A modification of two phases simplex method is presented and its implementation in programming language Visual Basic is described. A few Netlib examples are presented.

It was demonstrated that newborn mice, surviving an infection with attenuated herpes simplex virus, become resistant to challenge with a pathogenic strain of herpes simplex virus. This resistance did not seem to be mediated by antibody.

Some parasites can be transferred from fish to human via eating of contaminated meat and make serious problems in consumers. In the present study zoonotic parasites of abdominal cavity in pike-perch, Sander lucioperca, in south eastern part of the Caspian Sea have been surveyed. In this regard, 30 fish were caught by purse seine net and abdominal cavity, digestive tract and other organs (kidney...

Brown alga, Turbinaria conoides was successively extracted with n-hexane, cyclohexane, methanol and ethanol:water (1:1). The extracts were evaluated for antibacterial and antifungal activities by disc diffusion method. Minimal inhibitory concentration was determined for active extracts by broth dilution method. The antiviral activity and cytotoxicity of the extracts were tested in human embryon...

Tyrosinase is a key enzyme in melanin production. Therefore, tyrosinase inhibitors are used in cosmetic and medicinal industries to prevent or treat overproduction of melanin such as melasma, solar lentigo and post inflammatory melanoderma. Due to safety of natural whitening agents, in the present study, in-vitro anti-tyrosinase and in-vivo anti-melanogenesis activities of some selected red mac...
