we have previously shown that the proliferative response of t cells to antigenic or mitogenic stimulus decreased with age and that caloric resection (cr) attenuated the age-related decline in proliferation and il-2 expression. because activation-induced apoptosis is known to regulate cell proliferation and eliminate the high number of activated cells during an immune response, it was of interes...

The aim of this paper is to study the concept of -induced L-fuzzy topological spaces. Some properties of the functions (namely Scott-continuous function) are studied. The Scott-continuous functions turn out to be the natural tool for studying the -induced L-fuzzy topological space. We also discuss the connections between some separations, countability and covering properties of an ordinary topo...

We describe the spectrum of clinical and histologic abnormalities of 11 women with L-tryptophan induced eosinophilia-myalgia syndrome. The illness is characterized by musculoskeletal symptoms including myalgias, arthralgias and paresthesias. The physical findings consist of muscle tenderness, neuropathies, rash, peripheral and periorbital edema. Electroneurography performed in 10 patients demon...

In this study, we aimed to investigate the peripheral antinociception effects of specificphosphodiesterase 5 (PDE-5) inhibitor vardenafil on carrageenan-induced nociception in rats,and the role of calcium besides the L-arginine- nitric oxide (NO)- cyclic guanosine monophophate(cGMP) pathway in these effects. Hyperalgesia was induced by the intraplantar injection of 0.1mL fresh carrageenan solut...

The main propose of this paper, is performing a new solution on the basis of Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) for designing induced ∞ l optimal controllers. Induced ∞ l optimal control allows directly time-domain specifications into the controller synthesis procedure and furnishes a complete solution to the robust performance problem. The new technique, which is proposed as an algorithm, combines...

In categories related to complete quasi-monoidal lattices, we investigate the relations among (L,♦)-(respectively, (L, )-,(L, )-) fuzzy quasi-uniform spaces, (L, ,∧)-fuzzy topological spaces and (L, ,∧)fuzzy interior spaces induced functions. Mathematics Subject Classification: 54A40, 08A72, 06D72

Different animal models of experimental acute pancreatitis induced by caerulein, choline deficient ethionine supplemented (CDE) diet, or sodium taurocholate have been developed. These models vary in severity and have been used by the investigators to either understand the pathophysiological mechanism of the disease or to study the effect of different therapeutic agents. Mizunuma et al (18) were...

objective(s):some pathologic situations such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome are associated with alternation in nitric oxide level. incidence of these condition increases with aging. on the other hand, insulin secretion is modulated by nitric oxide, and nitric oxide synthase (nos) activity is also altered in diabetes. in this study, modification in the enzyme activity associated with aging a...
