The aim of this study was to examine the effects of nitric oxide synthase inhibition on antigen- and histamine-induced acute airway reactions, in order to clarify the possible modulating role of NO. Twelve specific-pathogen-free pigs (sensitized with Ascaris suum antigen) were challenged with an antigen aerosol during mechanical ventilation and anaesthesia. Six pigs were pretreated with N(G)-ni...

Neisseria meningitidis group X occurs in human carrier populations and is rarely implicated in serious disease. This organism possesses a capsular group antigen which is an acidic polysaccharide. It is composed of the amino sugars, glucosamine, glucosamine-6-phosphate, galactosamine, and the simple hexose, glucose. The group X capsular antigen has an S(20,w) (0) of 3.6, and the acidic nature of...

Data-driven learning has been recognized a potential tool for enhancing outcomes. The current study designed data-driven hospitality lexis programme to facilitate the of vocabulary by autonomous learners. To achieve objectives, development learners’ knowledge was measured using T-test based on pre-testing and post-testing. In addition, opinions were explored two types questionnaire: Mentimeter ...

osteopoikilosis is a rare benign osteosclerotic bone disorder that may be misdiagnosed as skeletal metastases. here we describe a case of coincidental breast cancer and osteopoikilosis mimicking skeletal metastases. a 41-year-old woman underwent right modified radical mastectomy in april 2007. twenty-eight months after initial treatment, the patient complained of bilateral knee and foot pain. p...

A highly specific and reproducible antigen-induced, antigen-specific culture and assay system for antibody production by human peripheral blood B lymphocytes has been developed. The system is clearly T cell and monocyte dependent and is independent of exogenous mitogens. The major factors in our ability to trigger specific antibody production with antigen alone have been the use of extremely lo...

The article looks at language contacts between the Kalmyk and of Oirats living in Mongolia sphere lexis. lexical layer analyzed is landscape vocabulary. For comparison, materials from old-written Mongolian, Khalkha-Mongolian, Buryat languages were used. presence similar words testifies existence so-called general Mongolian former one people separated time space.
