The vascular leakage was shown by the increment of hematocrit (Hct), dengue viral infected monocyte, monocyte status, and cytokines production in patients infected with dengue virus. Dengue viral antigens were demonstrated in monocytes (CD14+) from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The increased levels of Hct, interleukin- (IL-) 10, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) were detected in den...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Peptic ulcer is a common problem in medicine with serious impacts on the quality of life of patients. It has been shown that Helicobacter pylori infection is related with inflammatory responses of gastric mucosa. However, some patients remain asymptomatic. Sustained colonization and chronic inflammation increase the risk of gastritis and peptic ulcer. The a...

The enormous data sharing and data availability on the Internet provides opportunities for new services tailored to extract, search, aggregate, and mine data in meaningful ways, At the same time, it poses challenges with regards to data privacy. This paper offers insight into this problem, focusing on current relevant research and potential areas of synergy between the information retrieval com...

background and objective: host genetic factors such as cytokine gene polymorphisms as well as helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) infection have been found to be associated with gastric cancer risk . interleukin 1 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine involved in h. pylori-induced gastric inflammation. therefore, we analyzed the association between il-1β and il-1-rn polymorphisms and gastric cancer in per...

Peach is a highly corrosive fruit with a short shelf life (less than 7 days at room temperature)susceptible to diseases, pathogens and physical damage. The storage or marketable life ofhorticultural crops can be extended by various treatments applied to them after and/or beforeharvesting. Fruits are usually treated with a range of materials [(e.g. salicylic acid (SA)] to...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to clarify the associations between IL-1B31C/T, IL-1B-511C/T, IL-8-251T/A gene polymorphisms and the risk of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection together with H. pylori-related gastric cancer (GC), peptic ulcer disease (PUD). METHODS All eligible literature published up to July 2016 were identified by searching Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and CNKI....

BACKGROUND Both Helicobacter pylori genotype and host genetic polymorphisms play a role in determining the clinical consequences of H. pylori infection. We investigated whether there are any combinations of bacterial and host genotypes that are particularly associated with the occurrence of gastric carcinoma. METHODS Genotypic variations in virulence-associated genes of H. pylori vacA (s and ...

The computer simulation program of a practical scale reverse electrodialysis process has been developed based on the program for saline water electrodialysis. The program is applied to compute the performance of an industrial-scale reverse electrodialysis stack (effective membrane area S = 1 m × 1 m = 1 m2, cell pair number N = 300 pairs). The stack operatingconditions are optimized. Seaw...
