B ackground: The T cell attracting chemokine CCL18 is produced by antigen presenting cells and a role for CCLI8 has been suggested in the pathogenesis of a variety of diseases. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of these conditions, in which abundant CCL18 production is present. Although Th2 cytokines and IL-10 are known to have an effect on CCLI8 production, there are several gaps in our knowled...

In this paper, it is proved that the infinite KAM torus with prescribed frequency exists in a sufficiently small neighbourhood of given I0 for nearly integrable and analytic Hamiltonian system H(I,θ)=H0(I)+ϵH1(I,θ) degree freedom short range. That to say, we will give an extension original Kolmogorov theorem infinite-dimensional case The proof based on approximation finite-dimensional improved ...

in order to study effect of foliar application of iron and zinc on yield and yield components of autumn rapeseed (brassica napus l.) under limited irrigation an experiment was conducted at research farm of agricultural faculty of urmia university in 2009. the experiment was designed in split plot based on randomized complete block design with 3 replications. treatments were drought (irrigation ...

PURPOSE To compare the effect of a taurine-containing intraocular irrigation solution (PuriProtect TM) to a standard irrigation solution (BSS TM) we evaluated the retinal function using an electroretinogram (ERG) and analyzed the survival of retinal ganglion cells on isolated whole mount retinas. MATERIALS AND METHODS During ERG recordings, each irrigation solution was superfused for 45 min w...

Anethum graveolens Linn. (Umbelliferae, A. graveolens) is a widely used spice with a long history of traditional medicinal use for the treatment of various ailments. The biosynthesis of secondary metabolites in medicinal and aromatic plants is affected by abiotic stresses such as water deficit. This study was carried out to evaluate seed yield and essential oil of dill under five irrigation dis...

The oral disposition index, the product of the early insulin secretory response during an oral glucose tolerance test and insulin sensitivity, is used widely for both the prediction of, and evaluation of the response to interventions, in type 2 diabetes. Gastric emptying, which determines small intestinal exposure of nutrients, modulates postprandial glycemia. The aim of this study was to deter...

Background: Pod borer is most serious problem to cultivation of chickpea across the world. In India, Madhya Pradesh rank first in both area and production chickpea. This region considered affected yield due H. armigera. Host plant resistance an important component for managing this pest. To develop cultivars with insects, it understand role oxalic acid associated The current study aimed express...

Quantifying the local crop response to irrigation is important for establishing adequate irrigation management strategies. This study evaluated the effect of irrigation applied with subsurface drip irrigation on field corn (Zea mays L.) evapotranspiration (ETc), yield, water use efficiencies (WUE = yield/ETc, and IWUE = yield/irrigation), and dry matter production in the semiarid climate of wes...

AIM To compare the clinical and microbiological results between patients with infectious vaginitis receiving vaginal irrigation with saline or no irrigation before standard antibiotic therapy. METHODS Women with vaginitis (n = 109) were randomized to receive vaginal irrigation with saline or no irrigation before standard antibiotic therapy. The vaginal symptoms perceived by subjects and clini...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of extended suprathreshold vibratory stimulation on the sensitivity of slowly adapting type 1 (SA1), rapidly adapting (RA), and Pacinian (PC) afferents. To that end, an algorithm was developed to track afferent absolute (I0) and entrainment (I1) thresholds as they change over time. We recorded afferent responses to periliminal vibratory...
