The presence of interleukin 4 receptor (IL-4R) on methylcholanthrene (MCA-106, MCA-102, and MC-38)- and viral DNA (G-2TS and 14-2TS)-induced murine sarcoma cells was demonstrated. MCA-106 tumor cells express about 500 to 1348 (median, 800) interleukin 4 (IL-4) binding sites/cell with a dissociation constant (Kd) of 115 +/- 26 pM (mean +/- SD, n = 4). By Northern blot analysis, tumor cells exhib...

Correspondence: Cem Yasar Sanhal e-mail: cemsanhal@ yahoo.com Objective. To compare the efficacy of five adhesions barrier products with a control group in a rat model. Methods. In this randomized controlled animal study, standardized lesions on parietal peritoneum of rats were created by sandpaper and three interrupted sutures. Afterwards, the lesions were treated with Seprafilm, Interceed, Pr...

Background and Objective: Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder with orofacial manifestations, including tooth decay. Lactobacilli can inhibit biofilm formation and growth of cariogenic pathogens, such as Streptococcus mutans. We aimed to assess the salivary levels of S. mutans and Lactobacilli as indicators of dental caries development in patients with systemic sclerosis. Methods: In t...

As early as 1927, legislation in the United States governing the packaging of lyeand acidcontaining products mandated that warning labels be placed on these products. In response to the recognition that caustic exposures were more frequent in children, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act and Poison Prevention Packaging Act were passed in 1970; these acts mandated that all caustics with a conce...

S106 is a bipolar nebula illuminated and excited by a central star called S106 IR. Depending on its distance (literature values range from 500 pc to 5.7 kpc) this star is of late O to early B spectral type. There is evidence that S106 is physically associated with the molecular cloud complex of Cygnus X. The bipolar nebula is the dominant feature in an embedded cluster of young stars forming in...
