BACKGROUND Granuloma annulare is a granulomatous disease of unknown etiology. Various therapies have been tried in disseminated granuloma annulare (DGA), including corticosteroids, several variants of psoralen plus ultraviolet-A radiation, ultraviolet- A1 radiation, systemic retinoids, and dapsone, with variable success. We report a patient with recalcitrant DGA who was treated with fumaric aci...

The epithelial cell composition was investigated in the follicle-associated intestinal crypt (FAIC) of rat Peyer's patches. The epithelium of the FAIC mainly consisted of columnar epithelial cells, goblet cells and Paneth cells. The characteristics of secretory granules in Paneth cells and goblet cells of both the FAIC and ordinary intestinal crypts (IC) were almost the same in periodic acid-Sc...

Bu çalışma, kimyasal ve organomineral (leonardit hayvansal kaynaklı) gübre ile farklı miktarlarda fosfor uygulamalarının silaj mısırın verimi, besin element içeriği fosforun alım etkinliği (FAE) üzerine etkilerini karşılaştırmak amacıyla tarla koşullarında yürütülmüştür. Hafif alkalin reaksiyonlu, düşük organik madde içeriğine sahip alanda tesadüf blokları deneme desenine göre üç tekerrürlü ola...

Aiming at engine health management, a novel hybrid prediction method is proposed for exhaust gas temperature (EGT) of turbine engines. This model combines nonlinear autoregressive with exogenous input (NARX) and moving average (MA) model. A feature attention mechanism-enhanced long short-term memory network (FAE-LSTM) first developed to construct the NARX model, which used identifying aircraft ...

Corn stover (CS) is an abundant lignocellulosic by-product of the grain industry. Ferulic acid esterase producing (FAE+)-lactobacilli can potentially improve ensiled forages’ nutritive value through hydrolysis ferulic ester bonds present in cell walls during fermentation process, but this has not been addressed CS silage. In study, we characterized 8 FAE+ lactobacilli regarding their FAE activi...

The follicle-associated epithelium (FAE) secretes chemokines important in the recruitment of various cell types including CCL20 (MIP-3alpha). CCL20 is chemotactic to the CD11b(+) dendritic cells (DCs) distributed in the subepithelial dome regions of the Peyer's patches, and mice deficient in the receptor for CCL20, CCR6, have been reported to be devoid of the CD11b(+) DCs in the dome regions. H...

Physiological results for the size of face-specific units in inferotemporal cortex (IT) support an extraordinarily large range of possible sizes--from 2.5 degrees to 30 degrees or more. We use a behavioral test of face-specific aftereffects to measure the face analysis regions and find a coarse retinotopy consistent with receptive fields of intermediate size (10 degrees -12 degrees at 3 degrees...

Salmonella species are known to initiate infection of mammalian hosts by penetrating the intestinal epithelium of the small bowel. These bacteria preferentially interact with Peyer's patches which are collections of lymphoid follicles making up the gut-associated lymphoid tissue. We infected murine ligated intestinal loops with invasive and noninvasive Salmonella typhimurium strains for 30, 60,...
