conclusions in our study, no prominent effect was seen; therefore, in order to have a better perspective of crocin activity against cancerous cell lines, further studies are highly recommended. results the highest concentration of crocin significantly decreased ros production after 48 hours of treatment. however, crocin had no effect on the expression level of hsp (heat shock protein). addition...

SUMMARY This letter presents a low-power switched current (SI) memory cell with CMOS-type configuration. By combining nMOS and pMOS in the SI memory cell and using a polarity discrimination circuit, we design a CMOS-type SI memory cell which eliminates the quiescent current in the SI memory cell. The simulation result shows that the CMOS-type SI memory cell consumes less power than the conventi...

sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disorder of unidentified etiology, with a heterogeneous clinical presentation. it is characterized by a reduced delayed-type hypersensitivity to tuberculin and common antigens. the balance between th1, th17 and regulatory t(treg) cells controls t-cell proliferation and activation.the th17/treg ratio in the peripheral blood and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid...
