Purpose Although ultrasound shows great potential for aiding assessment of LS disease activity, its use has been limited because both image acquisition and interpretation are operator dependent. To facilitate evaluating and to standardize interpretation of jLS ultrasound scans, we generated a scoring measure for evaluating echogenicity and vascularity differences (U-DA, Ped Rheum 2010;8:14). Ob...

Because of participation in many aspects of human life, and due to oxidation-sensitive characteristics of dopamine (DA) and arachidonoyl dopamine (AA-DA), the necessity of biocompatible carrier to keep them against oxidation is of importance. In this work, we explored the putative binding sites of DA and AA-DA to -lactoglobulin (BLG) as potent carrier. Docking results identified the binding si...
