The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has become a model system for studying the disease interaction between pathogens and the host. To determine whether the transparent nematode could serve as a useful model for Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH) infection of the intestinal tract, worms were fed MAH and assayed for the effects of the bacterial infection on the worm. It was observed...

Three murine monoclonal IgG1 kappa-antibodies, MAH-1, MAH-2, and MAH-3, were raised against factor H purified from human plasma. In cross-inhibition studies MAH-3 did not compete with MAH-1 and MAH-2, and vice versa, for the binding to H, whereas MAH-1 and MAH-2 inhibited each other. MAH-1 and MAH-2 inhibited the binding of H to C3b attached to an ELISA plate as well as to C3b bound to sheep er...

21 SUMMARY A survey was carried out to determine the prevalence of bronchial asthma and their contributing risk factors among Orang Asli subgroups living in Malaysia using IUATLD questionnaire and spirometry without being discriminatory towards age or gender. Of the 1171 distributed questionnaires, 716 (61.1%) comprising of 62.7% Semai Pahang, 51.3% Temiar, 74.2% Mah Meri, 65.6% Semai Perak, 53...

Li2S has a high theoretical capacity of 1166 mAh g(-1), but it suffers from limited rate and cycling performance. Herein we reported in-situ synthesis of thermally exfoliated graphene-Li2S (in-situ TG-Li2S) nanocomposite and its application as a superior cathode material alternative to sulfur. Li2S nanoparticles with the size of ~8.5 nm homogeneously anchored in graphene nanosheets were prepare...
