چکیده

The order parameter, S, of the plasma membrane of in toto human peripheral blood lymphocytes was obtained by electron spin resonance spectroscopy in the temperature range 25-41 degrees C. This membrane is completely in the liquid crystalline state above 31 degrees C. In presence of the antigen ETB from Staphylococcus aureus at the concentration of 4 micrograms/3 x 10(7) cells an overall decrease of the order parameter for this membrane is observed. The decrease of S is followed by an upwards shift at about 35 degrees C of the temperature of the liquid crystalline state.

Air Plasma Sprayed Bond Coat Oxidation Behavior and its Resistance to Isothermal and Thermal Shock Loading

An experimental investigation was conducted to find the effect of spraying method of coating of Thermal Barrier Coatings (TBCs) on their oxidation behaviour and resistance to various thermal loading. Isothermal and thermal shock tests were performed in order to study oxidation behaviour of air plasma sprayed Bond Coat (BC) and assess its effect on TBCs lifetime under the stated loadings. Specim...

Changes of lymphocyte membrane fluidity in rheumatoid arthritis: a fluorescence polarisation study.

Fluorescence polarisation of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene was used to study the lymphocyte membrane in rheumatoid arthritis. The increase of polarisation value in the patients (n = 27) compared with healthy controls (n = 32) suggests a decrease of membrane fluidity. Moreover, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and plasma fibrinogen concentrations were positively correlated with lymphocyte fl...

Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) Induces Apoptosis Signaling and Proteolysis in Human Lymphocytes through ROS Mediated Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Lysosomal Membrane Labialization

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) such as perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) are stable chemicals that accumulate in biological matrix. Toxicity of these compounds including immunotoxicity has been demonstrated in experimental models and wildlife. Although limited number of studies examined the effects of PFOS on human lymphocytes but so far no research has investigated the complete mechanisms of PF...

بررسی ارتباط نسبت نوتروفیل به لنفوسیت با آسیب میوکارد در بیماران کاندید آنژیوپلاستی انتخابی

Background and Objective: The high ratio of neutrophils to lymphocytes is a predictor of the risk of myocardial infarction in people who have coronary artery angiography. The purpose of this study was to measure this proportion in the assessment of damage through interventions in patients with non-emergency angioplasty. Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed on 122 pat...
