PURPOSE To establish an animal model for the easy assessment of pressure-dependent damage to retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) using the B6.Cg-TgN(Thy1-CFP)23Jrs/J transgenic mouse strain (CFP mouse), which expresses cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) in RGCs, and to evaluate pressure-dependent RGC death. METHODS In 20 CFP mice, right eyes were selected to receive laser-induced ocular hypertension ey...

OBJECTIVES Despite treatment with antibiotics and vaccination with BCG, tuberculosis (TB) is still considered as one of the most important public health problems in the world. Therefore, designing and producing a more effective vaccine against TB seems urgently. In this study, immunogenicity of a fusion protein which consisting or comprising CFP-10 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and the Fc-dom...

344 Calcifying fibrous pseudotumor (CFP) is an unusual benign lesion of the soft tissue. CFP is regarded as related to inflammatory pseudotumor and it may sometimes represent a late stage of inflammatory pseudotumor, in that a CFP appears to be arising within an inflammatory pseudotumor. 1 This entity occurs predominantly in young adult patients and has a good prognosis. 2 CFPs are found mostly...

This study aims to examine intangible assets as mechanisms underlying the direct corporate social responsibility (CSR)-corporate financial performance (CFP) relationship. Based on signalling theory, we developed an integrated model taking image (CIM) and identity (CID) double mediators between relation ship of CSR CFP. Using convenience sampling procedure, dispersed anonymous survey employees c...

Active participation from the corporate sector in designing and implementing social responsibility (CSR) activities is critical for company resilience reliance. It has been suggested that companies need to integrate CSR with talent management strategies. However, extant literature on reporting limited research focusing activities. Therefore, this study examines extent of disclosure (TMD) made b...

Culture filtrate protein 10 (CFP-10) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a well-characterized immunodominant 10-kDa protein antigen known to elicit a very potent early gamma interferon response in T cells from M. tuberculosis-infected mice and humans. The sequence of the Mycobacterium leprae homologue of CFP-10 shows only 40% identity (60% homology) at the protein level with M. tuberculosis CFP-...

The effects of ball mill treatment (0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 min) on the physicochemical and digestible properties of scallops (Chlamys farreri) protein (CFP) were investigated. The CFP particle size decreased with increasing ball-milling time. The content of free sulfhydryl (SH) of CFP increased from 13.08 ± 0.25 μmol/g protein to 18.85 ± 0.24 μmol/g protein when the ball-milling time increased f...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The empirical use of antibiotic therapy is widely accepted for patients with fever and neutropenia during cancer chemotherapy. The use of intravenous monotherapy with broad-spectrum antibiotics in patients at high risk for complications is an appropriate alternative. However, few data are available for pediatric patients. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy ...
