OBJECTIVE To evaluate the patterns of Ro autoantigen recognition in Korean patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and to investigate its clinical significance in SS. METHODS Sera from primary SS (n = 51) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (n = 132) were tested by double immunodiffusion test and immunoblotting for reactivity with 60 kDa and 52 kDa Ro/SS-A proteins. Clinical manifest...

OBJECTIVES To determine the performance of different tear and salivary tests applied in Sjögren's syndrome (SS) and to disclose how these tests relate to common serologic tests in SS. DESIGN In addition to the routine ocular and oral tests for diagnosing SS (Schirmer test, rose bengal score, unstimulated whole saliva flow, and parotid sialography), tear breakup time and flow rate of glandular...

در این پژوهش مسئله زمان‌بندی کار کارگاهی منعطف با ماشین‌های موازی درنظرگرفتن معیار تولید پاک‌تر، منابع دوگانه انسان-ماشین، زمان دسترسی کارها و پردازش وابسته به سرعت ماشین‌ها بررسی می­‌شود. اهداف شامل حداقل­‌کردن مجموع جریمه‌­های دیرکرد زودکرد افزایش است. داده می‌شود تا تکمیل کاهش یابد. درحالی‌که آلودگی صوتی محیط تولیدی منجر توجه رویکرد پاک‌تر که نگرشی پیشگیرانه است، اینجا سعی شده است حداقل­کردن...

abstract biological and chemical changes in rhizosphere following organic residues as well as manures application are important processes which influence nitrogen mineralization and nutrients bioavailibity in soils. this study was done to evaluation of organic residues effect on growth, nitrogen supply and rhizosphere characteristics of corn and sunflower plants in greenhouse experiment using s...

We have reported that a reduction in renal production of 20-HETE contributes to development of hypertension in Dahl salt-sensitive (SS) rats. The present study examined whether 20-HETE production is also reduced in the cerebral vasculature of SS rats and whether this impairs the myogenic response and autoregulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF). The production of 20-HETE, the myogenic response o...

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) mediates buffering of vasoconstriction through activation of endothelium-derived factors. We hypothesized that the PVAT of Dahl salt-sensitive (Dahl SS) rats has reduced ability to buffer vasoconstriction. Vascular reactivity experiments were performed on aortic rings with PVAT intact (+PVAT) or removed (-PVAT), and endothelium intact (+ENDO) or removed (-ENDO...

we call $h$ an $ss$-embedded subgroup of $g$ if there exists a‎ ‎normal subgroup $t$ of $g$ such that $ht$ is subnormal in $g$ and‎ ‎$hcap tleq h_{sg}$‎, ‎where $h_{sg}$ is the maximal $s$-permutable‎ ‎subgroup of $g$ contained in $h$‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎we investigate the‎ ‎influence of some $ss$-embedded subgroups on the structure of a‎ ‎finite group $g$‎. ‎some new results were obtained.‎

The maize (Zea mays) leaf is a valuable system to study the sucrose import to sucrose export transition at the cellular level. Rapidly growing and fully heterotrophic cells in the basal part of the young leaf showed a high sucrose synthase (SS) activity. Leaf SS has been purified to homogeneity. By comparison with purified kernel SS isozymes, the leaf SS has been identified as SS(2). SS(1) prot...

KCl cotransport (KCC) activation by cell swelling and pH was compared in sickle (SS) and normal (AA) red blood cells (RBCs). KCC fluxes had the same relationship to mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) in SS and AA RBCs when normalized to the maximal volume-stimulated (VS(max)) flux (MCHC < 270 g/L [27 g/dL]). Acid-stimulated (pH 6.9) KCC flux in SS RBCs was 60% to 70% of VS(max) KC...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) in delineating the morphology of choroidal neovascular membrane (CNV). PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective observational case series reviewing clinical data and fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), and SS-OCT...
