Consider a transformed linear mixed model (TLMM) obtained pre-multiplying (LMM) M : y = Zα + Rγ e by given matrix. This work concerns the problem of equalities predictors under considered two LMMs general assumptions. We characterize between best unbiased (BLUPs) LMM and its TLMM using various rank formulas block matrices elementary matrix operations.

introduction: multiple sclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of central nervous system. the etiology of ms is slightly known, but genetic and environmental factors are reported. vitamin d regulates gene expression and affects target cell functions. the aim of this study was to investigate the expression variation of il-2 and il-4 genes under vitamin d supplementation in patients with mult...

background: interleukin (il)-23 and il-27 are two il-12-related cytokines which their function may dramatically influence the inflammatory response to tumor development. il-12 and il-27 seem to have antagonistic roles with il-23 in tumor site. in this study, il-23 and il-27 mrna expressions were analyzed in peripheral blood of patients with breast cancer and healthy volunteers using quantitativ...

conclusions some il-10 promoter gene polymorphisms predisposed the infected hepatitis b virus cases to cirrhosis in our study population. patients and methods totally, 166 patients with chronic hepatitis b infection were enrolled. genotypes at different positions (i.e. -819, - 592, and - 1082) in the il-10 gene promoter were determined. results the c/a genotype at position -592, c/t genotype at...

Let G be a finite group. Suppose that Y is a projective algebraic variety over Z (i.e an integral scheme which is projective and flat over Spec (Z)) of relative dimension d. In this paper, we consider finite Galois covers π : X → Y with group G which are everywhere unramified, i.e “G-torsors”. Let F be a G-equivariant coherent sheaf on X. Consider the value of the right derived global section f...

This paper uses the theory of dual equivalence graphs to give explicit Schur expansions to several families of symmetric functions. We begin by giving a combinatorial definition of the modified Macdonald polynomials and modified Hall-Littlewood polynomials indexed by any diagram δ ⊂ Z × Z, written as H̃δ(X; q, t) and P̃δ(X; t), respectively. We then give an explicit Schur expansion of P̃δ(X; t) as...

Objective(s): Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a common hypersensitivity disease worldwide. Immunotherapy has been performed as the best treatment for years. This study aimed to study the gene expression pattern of immune system cells following an accelerated rush immunotherapy protocol (ARIT) in patients with AR.Materials and Methods: Fifteen ...

the snp (rs11209026, arg381gln, r381q) in the il-23 receptor (il23r) confers protection against multiple inflammatory diseases, representing one of the most significant human genetic polymorphisms in inflammatory diseases. we, therefore, investigated the association between il-23 r r381q gene polymorphism and asthma.this case-control study was performed on 209 patients, and 200 healthy controls...
