هیدریدهای فلزی به دلیل واکنش گرمازا و گرماگیر با هیدروژن می­توانند به منظور سرمایش و یا گرمایش محیط مورد استفاده قرار گیرند. در این تحقیق توانایی سردسازی پمپ­های گرمایی بر پایه هیدریدهای فلزی دارای کمپرسور (cdmhhp) برای اولین بار با استفاده از یک مدل دو بعدی مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است. تحقیقات گذشته بر روی cdmhhp ها تنها با استفاده از مدل یک بعدی صورت گرفته است. نتایج حاصل از شبیه­سازی با نتایج ...

Background. Postoperative C5 motor palsy is known as a common complication not only after cervical laminectomy but also after anterior discectomy. There is no consensus to verify any of the proposed mechanisms of C5 palsy following posterior cervical decompression. The authors of this article have found that C5 palsy is more common among patients with smaller C5 root exit foramen area. The purp...

C5-deficient mice differed from C5-sufficient mice both quantitatively and qualitatively in C5 protein, C5 mRNA, and the C5 gene. C5-deficient protein was present as decreased amounts of an unprocessed, single-chain precursor. C5-deficient mRNA was decreased in amount and present in two forms, the smaller of which was the same as the single form in normal cells. Nuclei from both normal and defi...

The fifth component of complement, C5, can form fragments that cause neutrophil chemotaxis, oxygen radical production, and lysosomal enzyme release. The purpose of this study was to determine if C5 and these fragments contribute to the inflammation seen in pulmonary oxygen toxicity as defined by histology and analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). In addition, the role of C5 in produc...

Complement activation is involved in the initiation of Ab-mediated inflammatory demyelination in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). At a sublytic dose, the C5b-9 membrane attack complex protects oligodendrocytes (OLG) from apoptosis. Using C5-deficient (C5-d) mice, we previously showed a dual role for C5: enhancement of inflammatory demyelination in acute EAE, and promotion of rem...
