OBJECTIVES Trichloroethylene (TRI) has the potential to cause generalized dermatitis complicated with hepatitis. The guinea pig maximization test (GPMT) also suggests that both TRI and its metabolite trichloroethanol (TCE) exhibit immunogenicity and possible sex differences in guinea pigs. However, TRI and TCE metabolisms in guinea pigs have not been elucidated in detail. The first issue to cla...

The 29-kDa subtilase homologue, Tri r 2, derived from the dermatophyte fungus Trichophyton rubrum, exhibits unique immunologic characteristics in its ability to elicit immediate (IH) and delayed-type (DTH) hypersensitivity skin tests in different individuals. Thus, Tri r 2 provides a model for comparing the T cell repertoire in subjects with distinct immune responses to a single Ag. Recombinant...

BACKGROUND The rapid evolution of new sublineages of H5N1 influenza poses the greatest challenge in control of H5N1 infection by currently existing vaccines. To overcome this, an MVAtor vector expressing three H5HA antigens A/Vietnam/1203/04, A/Indonesia/669/06 and A/Anhui/01/05 (MVAtor-tri-HA vector) was developed to elicit broad cross-protection against diverse clades by covering amino acid v...

In this paper, we introduce the concept of permuting tri-f -derivation in an Almost Distributive Lattice (ADL) and derive some important properties of permuting tri-f -derivation in ADLs.

We prove a multi-parameter dyadic embedding theorem for the Hardy operator on multi-tree. also show that large class of Dirichlet spaces in bi-disc and tri-disc, this proves those holomorphic functions bi- tri-disc. completely describe Carleson measures such embeddings. The result below generalizes Arcozzi et al. from bi-tree to tri-tree Carleson–Chang condition box condition. One our descripti...

BACKGROUND/AIM The thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) risk score (TRS), and the TIMI risk index (TRI) have been reported in coronary artery disease patients. We investigated whether admission TRI is associated with no-reflow (NRF) in patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI). MATERIALS AND METHODS ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patien...

This contribution presents the analysis of possible utilizing of a tri-generation system for effective electricity, heat and cool production. A tri-generation offers more effective utilizing of primary energy sources in comparison with separate production of different kinds of energy. Natural gas is considered as the most common primary energy source utilized in tri-generation units. This analy...

Two experiments examined the relations among adult aging, mind wandering, and executive-task performance, following from surprising laboratory findings that older adults report fewer task-unrelated thoughts (TUTs) than do younger adults (e.g., Giambra, 1989; Jackson & Balota, 2012). Because older adults may experience more ability- and performance-related worry during cognitive tasks in the lab...

Rat liver homogenate was incubated at 37 degrees C with thyroxine, 3,3',5-tri-iodothyronine, 3,3',5'-tri-iodothyronine or 3,3'-di-iodothyronine. The degradation or accumulation of these compounds was measured by specific radioimmunoassays. (1) Production of 3,3',5-tri-iodothyronine from thyroxine was highest at pH 6.0--6.5 and was markedly stimulated by the addition of dithiothreitol and effect...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common aggressive primary brain tumor in adults, with a short survival time even after aggressive therapy. Non-invasive surrogate biomarkers of therapy response may be relevant for improving patient survival. Previous work produced such biomarkers in preclinical GBM using semi-supervised source extraction and single-slice Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopic Imaging (...
