OBJECTIVE Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is characterized by overexpression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in bladder tissues and induction of mast cell (MC) degranulation. This study was undertaken to explore the mechanism of action of MCP-1 in the development of IC/BPS. METHODS A rat model of IC/BPS was developed by perfusing bladders of nine SPF- grade ...

Abstract: Potato virus Y a type species of the genus potyvirus infects several crops in the family solanaceae. PVY isolated from field infected peppers was identified on the basis of host reaction, serological and molecular characterization. The result of ELISA, Immunoblot electrophoresis and Immuno Capture Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction   (IC-RT-PCR) indicated that...

the aim of the present paper is to define and study (ic)$lm$-fuzzytopological spaces, a generalization of (weakly) induced $lm$-fuzzytopological spaces. we discuss the basic properties of(ic)$lm$-fuzzy topological spaces, and introduce the notions ofinterior (ic)-fication and exterior (ic)-fication of $lm$-fuzzytopologies and prove that {bf iclm-ftop} (the category of(ic)$lm$-fuzzy topological ...

Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) is one of the causal agents of viral diseases that infected mint (Mentha spp.). CMV is a member of the cucumovirus genus in  Bromoviridae family. The virus is naturally transmitted by aphids in a non-persistent manner.During  growing season 2007-2008, leaf samples from plants of mint fields with symptoms of viral disease were collected in mint fieldas in Tehran provi...

Mepanipyrim is an anilinopyrimidine fungicide used worldwide for crop protection. With the aim of developing useful immunoreagents for mepanipyrim immunoanalysis, two new functionalized derivatives were prepared and antibodies were generated. Affinity and specificity were assessed by direct and indirect competitive ELISA using homologous and heterologous conjugates. Although all antibodies were...

The aim of the present paper is to define and study (IC)$LM$-fuzzytopological spaces, a generalization of (weakly) induced $LM$-fuzzytopological spaces. We discuss the basic properties of(IC)$LM$-fuzzy topological spaces, and introduce the notions ofinterior (IC)-fication and exterior (IC)-fication of $LM$-fuzzytopologies and prove that {bf ICLM-FTop} (the category of(IC)$LM$-fuzzy topological ...

We study Vand Λ-patterns which generalize valleys and peaks, as well as increasing and decreasing runs, in permutations. A complete classification of permutations (multi)-avoiding Vand Λ-patterns of length 4 is given. We also establish a connection between restricted permutations and matchings in the coronas of complete graphs.
