Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a B-cell malignancy which occurs with varying clinical manifestations and frequencies. The most well-known presentation of BL is found in areas which are holoendemic or hyperendemic for malaria. This endemic BL occurs primarily in children and presents as tumors of the jaw [1,2]. Though a strong association exists between endemic BL and malaria, the nature of the relati...

In this paper we study and equationally characterize the subvarieties of BL, the variety of BL-algebras, which are generated by families of single-component BL-chains, i.e. MV-chains, Product-chain or Gödel-chains. Moreover, it is proved that they form a segment of the lattice of subvarieties of BL which is bounded by the Boolean variety and the variety generated by all single-component chains,...

Baicalein (BL), a potential cancer chemopreventative flavone, has been reported to inhibit cancer cell growth by inducing apoptosis and causing cell cycle arrest in various human cancer cell models. Delivery of BL via nanoliposomes has been shown to improve its oral bioavailability and long‑circulating property in vivo. However, the role of BL in the inhibition of human chronic myeloid leukemia...

This study evaluated the clinical usefulness of serum thymidine kinase (TK) activity for diagnosing bovine leukosis cases for which clinical diagnosis was difficult ('BL with difficult diagnosis'). Median TK activity values in 24 'BL with difficult diagnosis' and 36 cattle for which BL was clinically confirmed by cytology findings of enlarged superficial lymph nodes ('clinically confirmed BL') ...

In this paper we define sheaf spaces of BL-algebras (or BL-sheaf spaces), we study completely regular and compact BL-sheaf spaces and compact representations of BL-algebras and, finally, we prove that the category of non-trivial BL-algebras is equivalent with the category of compact local

Trimodal or bimodal age-specific incidence rates for Burkitt lymphoma (BL) were observed in the United States general population, but the role of immunosuppression could not be excluded. Incidence rates, rate ratios, and 95% confidence intervals for BL and other non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), by age and CD4 lymphocyte count categories, were estimated using Poisson regression models using data from...

This paper presents the strategies of bestfit Bottom-Left by Right first (BL-Rf) and Bottom-Left by Top first (BL-Tf) (BL-Rf/BLTf) for block division selection. The block solution inspires from Space Allocation Problems (SAPs) and Packing Problems (PPs), however the huge number of possible solutions the heuristic with guided strategies required for the satisfied results. The mathematical expres...

Madiehe, Abram M., Tiffany D. Mitchell, and Ruth B. S. Harris. Hyperleptinemia and reduced TNFsecretion cause resistance of db/db mice to endotoxin. Am J Physiol Regul Integr Comp Physiol 284: R763–R770, 2003; 10.1152/ ajpregu.00610.2002.—Leptin deficiency in ob/ob mice increases susceptibility to endotoxic shock, whereas leptin pretreatment protects them against LPS-induced lethality. Lack of ...

PURPOSE To determine an accurate value for Bowman's layer (BL) thickness in vivo in humans. METHODS Seventeen corneal transplant patients were examined preoperatively by laser-scanning in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM), and corneal buttons were removed postoperatively and sectioned for light microscopy (LM). Nine corneas with uniformly thick BL by LM were used for thickness measurement. In t...
