We explored the association between HLA-B and HLA-DRB1 polymorphisms reviewed clinical characteristics of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Han population Yunnan, China. Methods There were 295 patients 265 healthy control subjects (HCs) enrolled study. Clinical data blood samples collected from patients. The genotypes detected SLE HCs. Results A total 74 on loci determined 288 as well 57 re...

Multiplex families with type 1 diabetes are important for identification of rare variants that cannot be identified in case-control association studies. The very low incidence of type 1 diabetes in the Japanese population, however, makes identification of such families difficult. We identified a Japanese family in which three members developed type 1 diabetes, and studied the genotype of the hu...

Repeated fertilizer applications to cultivated soils may alter the composition and activities of microbial communities in terrestrial agro-ecosystems. In this study, we investigated the effects of different long term fertilization practices (control (CK), three levels of mineral fertilizer (N1P1K1, N2P2K2, and N3P3K3), and organic manure (OM)) on soil environmental variables and microbial commu...

This study aims to assess the effect of variety and organic mineral fertilization on agronomic parameters okra. The experimental set-up used was a completely randomized en bloc device. treatments are : T0 (controls without amendment), T1 (10 t / ha chicken manure), T2 sawdust, T3 (2.5 NPK 15-15 fertilizer) -13). two varieties compared improved called Clemson spineless local Koto or Soudais gomb...

Nitrogen is an important element in the life of a plant. A wide range of nitrogen-containing compounds is available in the world market, with different formulations and efficiencies. Urea is present in most fertilizer applications; however, nano-nitrogen products are becoming popular although there is only limited information on their field efficiency. Thus, this paper studied the foliar applic...

Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) antibodies represent a significant risk factor for transplant failure. It is very important to characterize anti-HLA antibodies as epitopes rather than antigens so that this knowledge can be applied clinically. The aim of the study was to investigate the extra reactivity patterns in sensitized multipare. Here, we have used the HLAMatchmaker program, a theoretical a...

A field experiment was conducted on Chickpea-Mungbean-T.Aman cropping pattern at Pulses Research Sub-Station, Madaripur under Low Ganges River Floodplain Soils (AEZ-12) during 2007-08 and 2008-09 to find out the suitable fertilizer doses for this pattern. Four treatments were set up for each crop. For chickpea and mungbean, the treatments were T1=Recommended fertilizer dose as per FRG, 2005 BAR...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of nitroxin biofertilizer and chemical fertilizer on the growth, yield, and essential oil composition of dill. The experiment was conducted under field condition in randomized complete block design with three replications and two factors. RESULTS The first factor was the concentrations of nitroxin biofertilizer (0%, 50%, and 100%) o...

The study was conducted to determine the interactive effects of biochar application in combination with farm yard manure (FYM) and nitrogen (N) fertilizer on soil organic matter (SOM) and mineral nitrogen at Agricultural Research Farm of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Agricultural University Peshawar in 2010-2011. Soil samples at 0-15 cm depth were collected from maize and mungbean plots at harvest stage (...
