NBXFO hybridoma cells produced both the membrane and secreted isoforms of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF). Murine bone marrow cells stimulated by the secreted form of M-CSF (sM-CSF) became Mac1+, Mac2+, Mac3+, and F4/80+ macrophages that inhibited the growth of NBXFO cells, but not L1210 or P815 tumor cells. In cytotoxicity studies, M-CSF activated macrophages and freshly isolated ...

A 61-year-old woman with a very rare case of totally ossified large thoracic spinal metaplastic meningioma, showing progressing myelopathy is presented. Computed tomographic images showed a large totally ossfied intradural round mass occupying the spinal canal on T9-10 level. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large T9-10 intradural extramedullary mass that was hypointense to spinal cord on ...

Previous research using cell phones indicates that manual manipulation is not a principal component of text messaging relating driving detriment. This paper suggests that manipulation of a phone in conjunction with the cognitive need to compose the message itself co-act to contribute to driving degradation. This being so, drivers sending text messages might experience reduced interference to th...

A field experiment was conducted at the Regional Wheat Research Centre (RWRC) of the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh for 2 consecutive years during 2006-07 and 2007-08 with the objective to find out the optimum nutrient management practice on total dry matter production (above ground part) of each component crop of potatomungbean-t. aman rice cropping pattern. Tw...

Conjugated Linoleic Acids (CLAs) are minor components of the diet with many reported biological activities. Our aim was to examine the function of the single trans-9,trans-11 (t9,t11), cis-9,trans-11 (c9,t11), and trans-10,cis-12 (t10,c12) isomers on gene expression in human macrophages. Therefore we incubated in vitro MCSF differentiated monocyte derived macrophages from three healthy donors a...

We present a patient undergoing spinal angiography and suspected of having an AVM. During the first injection of nonionic contrast, a nidal AVM supplied by the great anterior radiculomedullary artery at T9 left was found. The second injection at T9 left no longer showed the contrast filling of the AVM. Follow-up angiography showed persistent AVM obliteration with an intact arterial spinal axis....

A field experiment was carried out during 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 seasons in Agriculture farm, Sebha University, Libya to study the response of some safflower varieties(S , Giza and Dem ) to fertilization by 350 1 137 farm yard manure (FYM) combination with mineral nitrogen fertilizers (0 ton FYM+105 kg N, 1.538 ton FYM +95kgN, 3.076 ton FYM +85 kg N, 4.614 ton FYM + 75 kg N, 6.152 ton FYM + 65...

A field experiment was conducted at Horticulture farm of Nepal Polytechnic Institute (NPI) Bharatpur-11, Chitwan to study the effects different doses vermicompost on growth, yield and quality radish (Raphanus sativus L. cv. Mino Early) from January 2020 March 2020. Five (0 ton, 5 10 15 20 ton per hectare) were taken as treatments replicated four times. The set up in Randomized Complete Block De...
