Interleukin 4 (IL-4) is essential for the induction of immunoglobulin E (IgE) responses in mice. Recent in vitro studies have suggested that IL-4 derived from non T helper (Th) cells, in particular from mast cells and basophils, may be essential for triggering of IL-4 expression in Th cells and may directly contribute to IgE isotype switch induction. Here, we have generated mice carrying a func...

BACKGROUND The Malaysian Tualang honey (TH) is not only cytotoxic to human breast cancer cell lines but it has recently been reported to promote the anticancer activity induced by tamoxifen in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells suggesting its potential as an adjuvant for the chemotherapeutic agent. However, tamoxifen produces adverse effects that could be due to its ability to induce cellular DNA damag...

We prove the generalized Hyers--Ulam stability  of $n$-th order linear differential equation of the form $$y^{(n)}+p_{1}(x)y^{(n-1)}+ cdots+p_{n-1}(x)y^{prime}+p_{n}(x)y=f(x),$$ with condition that there exists a non--zero solution of corresponding homogeneous equation. Our main results extend and improve the corresponding results obtained by many authors.

INTRODUCTION During therapeutic hypothermia (TH), electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities such as Osborn waves and/or ST-segment elevation have been described. However, the incidence and prognostic value of these ECG changes are uncertain given the small-scale studies that have been carried out to date. The aim of this study is to further evaluate the electrocardiographic changes during TH. ...

Here we consider all finite non-abelian 2-generator $p$-groups ($p$ an odd prime) of nilpotency class two and study the probability of having $n^{th}$-roots of them. Also we find integers $n$ for which, these groups are $n$-central.
