A neutral mononuclear Fe(II) complex with spin crossover (SCO) properties, Fe2(SCN)2 (1) (L = 2-(2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline), was solvothermally synthesized. It displays a new example of two-step SCO with Tc1↓ = 250 K, Tc1↑ = 260 K and Tc2 = 295 K.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Adult idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) is a chronic acquired organ-specific autoimmune hemorrhagic disease characterized by the production of antibodies against antigens on the membranes of platelet, resulting in enhanced Fc-mediated destruction of the platelets by macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system. Dysfunctional cellular immunity is considered imp...

T lymphocytes are believed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). How T cells are recruited to the lungs and contribute to the inflammatory process is largely unknown. COPD is a heterogeneous disease, and discriminating disease phenotypes based on distinct molecular and cellular pathways may provide new approaches for individualized diagno...

We analyze a straightforward extension of the extended technicolor (ETC) incorporating the top quark condensate via the flavor-universal coloron type topcolor SU(3)1 × SU(3)2 as well as the walking/conformal technicolor. Having quarks and techniquarks assigned to a single SU(3)1, the model has the same ETC structure as that of Appelquist et al. which was shown to have successive ETC breakings t...

BACKGROUND Homeostasis of circulating T cells is regulated in complex ways that have not yet been well defined. The balance between type 1 and type 2 T-cell subsets in cancer patients is thought to modulate antitumor immunity. Meanwhile, CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg), which are potent inhibitors of antitumor immune responses, also play an invaluable role in maintaining immune homeostasis....

BACKGROUND Recent studies suggest that Tc1/Tc2 imbalances are implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between peripheral blood T-cell profiles and pulmonary function or inflammatory parameters. METHODS Thirty-one patients with stable COPD (median age 70 years, 30 males, 15 current smokers and 16 ...

. which have been named transcobalamin 1 and 2 by Hall and Finkler.4 \Vhen serum which contains radioactive vitamin B12 is filtered through sephadex, the radioactivity appears in the effluent in fractions corresponding to molecular weights of 121,000 and 36,000. It has been assumed that these fractions correspond to association of the B12 with TC1 and TC2, respectively. It has been reported tha...

The immune suppression of sentinel lymph node (SN) is directly influenced by primary tumors. It has been reported that the T-helper type 1 (Th1) to T-helper type 2 (Th2) ratio or T-cytotoxic type 1 (Tc1) to T-cytotoxic type 2 (Tc2) ratio of lymph node lymphocytes could be used to evaluate direct immunological circumstances. We attempted to evaluate the Th1 to Th2 cell and Tc1 to Tc2 cell balanc...

Young females’s data in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas are acquired by using 3D Body Scanner made American TC2. Then according to the four parts of body shape character, we can classify human into different kinds women’s types. In process, SVM(support vector machine) model is used identify young shape. The results show that SVM an effective identified classified method due short time high precision...
