OBJECTIVE P-selectin is an adhesion molecule expressed by activated endothelial cells and platelets favouring the leukocyte adherence to microvascular endothelium. A soluble form of this molecule has been described, whose serum levels were found to be elevated and correlate with disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Aim of this study was to determine soluble P-selectin levels ...

Two multi-phasic models (logistic (LOG) and Michaelis-Menten (MM)) with three sub-curves were used to describe gas production kinetics of corn (CG), barley (BG), wheat (WG) and triticale (TG) grains. In each model sub curve, 1 describes the gas production caused by fermentation of the soluble fraction, gas production caused by fermentation of the non-soluble fraction is described in sub curve 2...

We prove that a positive proportion of hypersurfaces in products projective spaces over $${\mathbb {Q}}$$ are everywhere locally soluble, for almost all multidegrees and dimensions, as generalization theorem Poonen Voloch [25]. also study the specific case genus 1 curves {P}}^1 \times {\mathbb {P}}^1$$ defined , represented bidegree (2, 2)-forms, show soluble such is approximately $$87.4\%$$ . ...

BACKGROUND The interactions between CD40 and its ligand, CD40L, control humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. CD40 ligation may promote asthma-associated inflammatory responses in the airways. Many reports confirm the inflammatory basis of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in asthmatics. METHODS The study was conducted in a group of 19 asthmatic patients (11 with EIB, 8 without...
