Objetivo: el objetivo principal del presente trabajo consiste en evaluar la influencia de las variables sociodemográficas y clínicas en la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud de los pacientes con enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal. Pacientes y método: se trata de un estudio transversal. La calidad de vida relacionada con la salud se investigó utilizando el “Inflammatory Bowel Disease Quest...

Neuraminidase-treatment greatly increased 3H-thymidine incorporation by human lymphocytes at lower concentrations of Con A. An irreversible sequence after 24 hr of incubation in the presence of the optimal concentration of Con A was found. However, at a suboptimal concantraiton of Con A, neuraminidase-treated lymphocytes exposed to Con A for 72 hr exhibited a greater magnitude of 3H-thymidine i...

Objectives: In traditional medicine Salvia officinalis (sage) has been used as menstrual cycle regulator. In the present study the effects of sage extract on breast tissue were examined. Materials and Methods: Fourteen female rats were divided into two groups: 1) Distilled water-treated rats (Con) that were gavaged with 1ml distilled water and 2) Saliva officinalis hydroalcoholic extract (SHE)-...

Objective(s): Systemic candidiasis is an infection of Candida albicans (C. albicans) causing disseminated disease and sepsis, invariably when host defenses are compromised. We investigated the histopathological changes as well as the lymphoproliferative responses and cytokine production of splenic cells after stimulation with Concanavalin A (Con A) and Pokeweed mitogen (PWM) in mice with dissem...

A monovalent form of concanavalin A (m-Con A) has been prepared to determine the importance of valence for human lymphocyte surface binding and subsequent lymphocyte stimulation as measured by blast transformation and cytotoxicity. Concanavalin A (Con A) was fragmented by a proteolytic process and the m-Con A) derivative was isolated by elution with an ascending D-glucose gradient on a Sephadex...

For many liver diseases, including viral and autoimmune hepatitis, immune cells play an important role in the development and progression of liver injury. Concanavalin A (Con A) administration to rodents has been used as a model of immune-mediated liver injury resembling human autoimmune hepatitis. 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) has been demonstrated to alter the development of immu...

Integrity and con dentiality have traditionally been treated as distinct objectives. In the arena of MLS Operating Systems this dichotomy has not been a problem. The integrity demands placed on an OS do not signi cantly con ict with multilevel con dentiality. However, for MLS DBMS's the situation is quite di erent. Integrity and con dentiality are often in direct con ict, as one seeks to retain...

Tim Menzies Dept. of Software Development, Monash University, Melbourne, [email protected] Abstract| Many expert systems tasks imply making assumptions. Where assumptions con ict, these assumptions must be managed in separate worlds. We describe an abductive device for managing such con icts. This device lets us manage the con icting assumptions, validate the (potentially) con icting...

Freeze-etch studies reveal that mild pronase treatment with subsequent incubation in concanavalin A induces aggregation of intramembranous particles (IMP) in intact human erythrocytes. This alteration in particle distribution is accompanied by a change in the distribution of the Con A molecules such that they also become clustered on the extracellular etch face. If divalent succinyl Con A is us...
