this study aimed to describe the concepts and characteristics of wilson's information seeking behavior model, as the highly cited pattern in information seeking behavior debates and tracing its completion, expansion and development process. wilson's information seeking behavior model is the base for other subsequent related models. it has been the highly cited model amongst other information se...

Background: Several studies have compared the physical, physiological and anthropometric characteristics according to age playing position in soccer. However, no researched comparison of emotional intelligence (EI) levels soccer players. Objective: The purpose this study was compare EI players their position. Methods: A total 550 male were divided into four groups age: under-17 (n = 135), under...

BACKGROUND Lung transplant (LT) aims to extend survival and improve patient-centred outcomes (PCOs) by reducing disability and improving health-related quality of life (HRQL). Few PCO instruments have been validated in LT populations. We aimed to develop and validate a shortened version of the valued life activities (VLA) disability scale specific to LT. METHODS We used data from 140 subjects...

Crude extracts of three actinomycetes species belonging to Saccharopolyspora (TR 046 and TR 039) and Actinosynnema (TR 024) genera were screened for antibacterial activities against a panel of several bacterial strains. The extracts showed antibacterial activities against both gram-negative and gram-positive test bacteria with inhibition zones ranging from 8 to 28 mm (TR 046); 8 to15 mm (TR 039...

Anthrax lethal toxin (LT) induces vascular insufficiency in experimental animals through unknown mechanisms. In this study, we show that neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) deficiency in mice causes strikingly increased sensitivity to LT, while deficiencies in the two other NOS enzymes (iNOS and eNOS) have no effect on LT-mediated mortality. The increased sensitivity of nNOS-/- mice was indep...

BACKGROUND Patients with sarcoidosis, many of whom are African American, may require lung transplantation (LT). Little is known about survival following LT for sarcoidosis. OBJECTIVE To determine short-term mortality following LT for sarcoidosis, to evaluate if survival after LT for sarcoidosis is similar to outcomes after LT for other diseases, and to investigate the impact of race on the re...

BACKGROUND Liver transplantation (LT) is the treatment of choice for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to investigate the recurrence rate of HCC after LT and prognostic factors for recurrence by comparing LT with non-transplanted resection. METHODS The participants were 338 patients who underwent LT between 1996 and 2012 at Seoul National University Hospital (LT group)...

The importance of lymphotoxin (LT ) in lymphoid organogenesis is well established. Although LT has been implicated in the pathogenesis of T-cell-mediated immunopathologies, the requirement for LT in T-cell activation and effector function in vivo is not well understood. To determine the role of LT in T-cell activation in vivo, we compared the generation of antigen-specific T-cell responses betw...

Cyperus scariosus R.Br is a valuable multipurpose medicinal herb, which belongs to family Cyperaceae. It possesses astringent, anti-inflammatory, diaphoretic, diuretic, cordial and stomach ache properties. An attempt has been made to study in vitro regeneration, floral bud induction, multiple shooting and multiple rooting has been achieved via healthy, moderate axillary buds as explants. The ax...

Murine macrophages have been classified as either susceptible or nonsusceptible to killing by anthrax lethal toxin (LT) depending upon genetic background. While considered resistant to LT killing, we found that bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs) from DBA/2, AKR, and C57BL/6 mice were slowly killed by apoptosis following LT exposure. LT killing was not restricted to in vitro assays, as splen...
