Antibodies The following monoclonal antibodies (Abs) were used for flowcytometry and cell sorting: anti-c-Kit (2B8, BD Biosciences), -Sca-1 (E13-161.7, BD Biosciences), -CD4 (L3T4, BD Biosciences), -CD8 (53-6.72, BD Biosciences), -B220 (RA3-6B2, BD Biosciences), -TER-119, -Gr-1 (RB6-8C5, BD Biosciences), -Mac-1 (M1/70, BD Biosciences), -CD34 (RAM34, eBioscience), -CD31 (MEC13.3, BD Biosciences)...

We give the natural topological model for ¬BD-N, and use it to show that the closure of spaces with the anti-Specker property under product does not imply BD-N. Also, the natural topological model for ¬BD is presented. Finally, for some of the realizability models known indirectly to falsify BD-N, it is brought out in detail how BD-N fails. keywords: anti-Specker, BD, BD-N, realizability, topol...

Brain death (BD) is a physiological state defined as complete and irreversible loss of brain function. Organ transplantation from a patient with BD is controversial in Japan because there are two classifications of BD: legal BD in which the organs can be donated and general BD in which the organs cannot be donated. The significance of BD in the terminal phase remains in the realm of scientific ...

PURPOSE Behçet's disease (BD) theoretically affects all sizes and types of blood vessels and results in multi-organ involvement. However, renal BD has not been fully characterized, though the kidneys are histologically rich in blood vessels. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 2007 patients who fulfilled the diagnostic criteria for BD were enrolled in this study. We reviewed the medical records ...

Few studies to date have been performed to investigate impulsivity and aggressivity in patients with bipolar disorder (BD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD); the primary aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of co-morbidity of BPD on impulsivity and aggressivity in patients affected by BD. A total of 57 patients (male=20, female=37) affected by BD (BD-I 51%; BD-II 49%) in ...

OBJECTIVES Clinical studies suggest a high co-morbidity rate of borderline personality disorder (BPD) with bipolar disorder (BD). This study examines the prevalence and correlates of BPD in BD (I and II) in a longitudinal population-based survey. METHODS Data came from waves 1 and 2 (wave 2: N=34,653, 70.2% cumulative response rate; age ≥ 20 years) of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alco...

Platelet preparations promote bone regeneration by inducing cell migration, proliferation and differentiation in the area of the injury, which are essential processes for regeneration. In addition, several studies have indicated that simvastatin (SIMV), widely used for the treatment of hypercholesterolemia, stimulates osteogenesis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of trea...

to assess the association between polymorphisms of the il-6 -174 g/c and behçet's disease (bd) in tunisian patients. dna was extracted from blood samples taken from 43 tunisian patients and 43 healthy controls. the polymorphisms were analyzed by pcr with the pcr-rflp. no significant association was found between patients and controls concerning polymorphism of il6 -174 g/c between the (allelic ...
