Background: Regarding the negative effects of androgenic anabolic steroids (AASs) abuse, the long-term effect of nandrolone decanoate with/without two intensities of endurance exercise training was investigated on heart tissue and electrocardiogram (ECG) in rats. Methods: The experiment was conducted on 63 male Wistar rats, which were 4 months old. The rats were divide into groups of control (C...

Although less studied than purely action or state based logics, state/event based logics are becoming increasingly important. Some systems are best studied using structures with information on both states and transitions, and it is these structures over which state/event based logics are defined. The logic UCTL and its variants are perhaps the most widely studied and implemented of these logics...

Purpose We hereby describe a case of persistent cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia and retinitis following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) that was successfully treated with infusion CMV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) despite previous treatment Epstein Bar Virus (EBV) -specific CTL, which occurred 5 months earlier. Observations Following several anti- viral medication tri...

The differentiation of cytotoxic T lymphocyte precursor cells (CTL-P) into CTL effector cells is a two-step process. In the first step, naïve CTL-P (CTL-PN) become activated (CTL-PA) but do not yet have the capacity to kill target cells. CTL-PA can be distinguished from CTL-PN because the former are far less sensitive than the latter to the effects of in vitro-generated suppressor cells. Thus, ...

few studies have been conducted on the causative factors associated with the development of cancer. infection by high risk human papillomaviruses (hpvs) have been implicated as causative agents in a variety of cancers. hpv is capable of evading immune system and establishing persistent infections. prolonged infection and lesion maintenance are associated with higher risk of neoplastic progressi...

although the structure of human t lymphoptropic virus type i (htlv-i) has been known well, the function of some proteins encoded by htlv-i px region is not fully understood. furthermore, the responses of the immune system to htlv-i remain still unknown. most of htlv-i-infected individuals show a strong and persistently activated cytotoxic t-cell (ctl) response to the virus. the frequency of htl...

Globally, almost 2 billion cubic meters of industrial roundwood are harvested yearly. Two the most common methods harvest and extraction cut-to-length (CTL) full-tree or tree-length (FT/TL). The aim this study was to compile data on annual volumes by main in forestry countries. To quantify effect potential explanatory variables, were subjected linear regression analysis, using shares fully mech...

Abstract Biomechanics is a fundamental feature of cell. However, the manner by which actomysin tension affects tumor immune evasion remains unclear. Here we show that although cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) can effectively destroy stiff differentiated cells, they fail to kill soft tumor-repopulating cells (TRC). TRC softness prevented membrane pore formation caused CTL-released perforin. Perfori...

This study aimed to determine the effect of implementation Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) model with outdoor approach towards students’ ability in mathematical representation. It was quasi-experimental research consisting two experimental classes one control group. used a pretest-posttest group design. The population this students SUPM Tegal. Sampling conducted using cluster random thre...
