Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by complex interaction between barrier dysfunction and dysregulated immune system. Due to the resulting defects inflammation, AD patients suffer from dry itchy skin. Treatment with corticosteroids systemic immunosuppression can ease symptoms but may cause severe side effects. Novel local treatment options fewer e...

1. Male chickens, I week old, were fed alternately for 6 or 12 h periods with diets complementary in their amino acid composition. The isonitrogenous, isoenergetic diets were based on fish meal or sunflower meal as the sole source of protein, or fish meal-sunflower (40:60, w/w); each diet contained 120 g crude protein/kg. Other groups of chickens were given these diets ad lib. 2. Net protein ut...

In this study, we present results obtained on the diastereo- and enantioseparation of some basic natural synthetic Cinchona alkaloid analogs by applying liquid chromatographic (LC) subcritical fluid (SFC) modalities amylose cellulose tris-(phenylcarbamate)-based stationary phases using n-hexane/alcohol/DEA or CO2/alcohol/DEA mobile phase systems. Seven chiral in their immobilized form were empl...

in order to study the prevalence of psoriatic arthritis in imam reza hospital and determine the effects of factors like age, sex, familial history, type of skin involvement, nail involvement and duration of disease on psoriatic arthritis, 300 psoriatic patients over a period of 4 years were admitted and examined in the department of dermatology and rheumatology in imam reza teaching hospital, (...

Influences of following anaerobic digestion (AD) parameters like microaeration, pH, and VSS (Volatile Suspended Solid) using sour cabbage as substrate was checked in the publication. Results fermentation under condition small oxygen addition presented this research can be classified dark (DF—a special case AD) or hydrogenotrophic digestion. The investigations were carried out for two concentrat...

Most adenovirus (Ad) vectors are E1 gene deleted replication defective (RD-Ad) vectors that deliver one transgene to the cell and all expression is based on that one gene. In contrast, E1-intact replication-competent Ad (RC-Ad) vectors replicate their DNA and their transgenes up to 10,000-fold, amplifying transgene expression markedly higher than RD-Ad vectors. While RC-Ad are more potent, they...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease often accompanied with disruption of sleep-wake cycle. The sleep-wake cycle is controlled by mechanisms involving internal timekeeping (circadian) regulation. The aim of our present pilot study was to assess the circadian system in patients with mild form of AD in their home environment. In the study, 13 elderly AD patients and 13 age-matc...

BACKGROUND Novel biomarkers are important for identifying as well as differentiating subcortical vascular dementia (SVD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) at an early stage in the disease process. METHODS In two independent cohorts, a multiplex immunoassay was utilized to analyze 90 proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples from dementia patients and patients at risk of developing dementia (mi...
