To gain more insight into the role of cytokines in Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) we followed pro-inflammatory cytokine profiles in rats with steroid-induced PCP at 2-week intervals. The cytokines measured were immunoreactive interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), bioactive interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). In vivo cytokine concentrations were determined in three c...

Intervention Participants received dietary supplementation or placebo (after stratifying for prison wing). The supplementation group received a vitamin and mineral supplement based on 100% of the Reference Nutrient Intakes and essential fatty acid supplements in 4 daily capsules (1260 mg linoleic acid; 80 mg gamma linolenic acid; 80 mg eicosapentaenoic acid, and 44 mg docasahexaenoic acid). The...

The COMPASS experiment recently discovered a new isovector resonance-like signal with axial-vector quantum numbers, the $a_1(1420)$, decaying to $f_0(980)\pi$. With mass too close and width smaller than ground state $a_1(1260)$, it was immediately interpreted as light exotic meson, similar $X$, $Y$, $Z$ states in hidden-charm sector. We show that fully matching experimental data is produced by ...

in this paper, we introduce a concept of a generalized $c$-distance in ordered cone $b$-metric spaces and, by using the concept, we prove some fixed point theorems in ordered cone $b$-metric spaces. our results generalize the corresponding results obtained by y. j. cho, r. saadati, shenghua wang (y. j. cho, r. saadati, shenghua wang, common fixed point  heorems on generalized distance in ordere...
