A study was conducted to determine the kinetics of Fasciola gigantica infection induced antibody response against oxyclozanidelevamisole in naturally infected bovine of South Gujarat, India. Faecal analysis on before, 1st, 4th, 8th, 11th and 37th days post treatment (DPT) recorded 67.14, 34.29, 5.71, 0 and 0% parasites infected bovines. Either parasite(s) positive indigenous cattle or buffalo b...

BACKGROUND The clinical features of asbestos-related diffuse pleural thickening (DPT) remain unclear. OBJECTIVES To clarify the association between radiological findings of DPT and respiratory function. METHODS Medical data from patients with asbestos-related DPT were collected, including their history of occupational or neighborhood asbestos exposure, initial symptoms, modified Medical Res...

In this paper, we present a fully pipelined parallel implementation of a two dimensional (2D) Discrete Pascal Transform (DPT). Our approach rst makes use of the properties of the Kronecker product and the vec operation on matrices to form an alternate 2D DPT representation suitable for column parallel computation. Next, we lend ourselves to the results from Skodras' work in 1D DPT to achieve th...

OBJECTIVES Alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) is the main inhibitor of human neutrophil elastase, and plays a role in counteracting the tissue damage caused by elastase in local inflammatory conditions. The study evaluated the involvement of AAT in nasal allergic inflammation. METHODS Forty subjects with mono-sensitization to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dpt) were enrolled. Twenty allergic rhinitis ...

Discriminative stimulus effects of the serotonin (5-HT) receptor agonist 1-(2,5-dimethoxy-4-methylphenyl)-2-aminopropane (DOM) have been studied in rats and, more recently, in rhesus monkeys. This study examined DOM, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-(n)-propylthiophenethylamine (2C-T-7), and dipropyltryptamine hydrochloride (DPT) alone and in combination with three antagonists, MDL100907 [(+/-)2,3-dimethoxyphen...

Here we proposed lithography based layer decomposition for reduced wire length three-layer routing solution using Double Patterning Technology (DPT). First we proposed a routing algorithm of three-layer (HVH) restricted dogleg routing solution to minimize the wire length of the chip to be designed. Next we designed a layer decomposition algorithm of the obtained routing solution using DPT to in...

BACKGROUND Previous studies established that PP1 is a target for Bcl-2 proteins and an important regulator of apoptosis. The two distinct functional PP1 consensus docking motifs, R/Kx((0,1))V/IxF and FxxR/KxR/K, involved in PP1 binding and cell death were previously characterized in the BH1 and BH3 domains of some Bcl-2 proteins. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In this study, we demonstrate that DPT-AIF(1...

An improved and facile preparation of 3,7-dinitro-1,3,5,7-tetraazabicyclo [3,3,1] nonane(DPT) has been developed starting from urea. In the procedure DPT was synthesized viaN,N’-dinitrourea (DNU) as intermediate and various operating parameters such astemperature, pH and molar ratio of reagents have been optimized to give maximum yield ofthe desired product. The low cost method is concise, oper...

Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is associated with processes of inflammation. We investigated the effects of deoxypodophyllotoxin (DPT) on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) induced ICAM-1 expression in the mouse lung epithelial cell line, LA4. DPT (5 to 20 nM) inhibited TNF-alpha-induced ICAM-1 expression through nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) in a dose-dependent manner and...
