The ability of alpha interferon (IFN-alpha) and IFN-gamma to inhibit transmission of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) from neuronal axon to epidermal cells (ECs), and subsequent spread in these cells was investigated in an in vitro dual-chamber model consisting of human fetal dorsal root ganglia (DRG) innervating autologous skin explants and compared with direct HSV-1 infection of epidermal ...

Closed-form expressions of the hydraulic conductivity function for linearly superposed subretention (multimodal) functions were derived arbitrary sets Brooks and Corey (BC), van Genuchten (VG), Kosugi (KO) water retention models. The generalized Mualem model was evaluated using mathematical approach Priesack Durner. Three types modification to multimodel also proposed. Firstly, equations can be...

This paper is an investigation of $L$-dual frames with respect to a function-valued inner product, the so called $L$-bracket product on $L^{2}(G)$, where G is a locally compact abelian group with a uniform lattice $L$. We show that several well known theorems for dual frames and dual Riesz bases in a Hilbert space remain valid for $L$-dual frames and $L$-dual Riesz bases in $L^{2}(G)$.

To determine the influence of experimental model and strain differences on the relationship of vascular permeability to inflammatory cytokine production after high peak inflation pressure (PIP) ventilation, we used isolated perfused mouse lung and intact mouse preparations of Balb/c and B6/129 mice ventilated at high and low PIP. Filtration coefficients in isolated lungs and bronchoalveolar lav...

We introduce the notions of T-dual Rickart and strongly T-dual Rickart modules. We provide several characterizations and investigate properties of each of these concepts. It is shown that every free (resp. finitely generated free) $R$-module is T-dual Rickart if and only if $overline{Z}^2(R)$ is a  direct summand of $R$ and End$(overline{Z}^2(R))$ is a semisimple (resp. regular) ring. It is sho...

background: this study set out to evaluate the utility of cerebrovascular virtual non-contrast (vnc) scans. materials and methods: conventional non-contrast (cnc) and dual-energy computed tomography angiography (de-cta) head scans were conducted on 100 subjects, of which 46 were normal, 15 had parenchymal hematomas of the brain, 13 had ischemic infarction, 22 had tumors, and 4 had calcified les...

Background: Osteoporosis is common in spondyloarthritis, due to reduced spinal mobility, and inflammation. Anti-inflammatory treatments have a beneficial effect on the bone, there significant increase bone density during treatment with anti-TNF alpha. Objectives: study mineral patients ankylosing spondyloarthritis (AS) treated Methods: This retrospective descriptive of AS meeting modified New Y...
