Evaluation of biomarkers of arterial hypertension (AH) could be considered to be useful as early, more reliable and accurate diagnostic indicators for AH than simply measuring of blood pressure (BP) in routine clinical practice, especially at early stages of hypertension. For instance, an increased level of a soluble protein junctional adhesion molecule-A (JAM-A) was previously found to be asso...

We study the phase diagram of the continuum traffic flow model of a highway with an on-ramp. Using an open boundary condition, traffic states and metastabilities are investigated numerically for several representative values of the upstream boundary flux f(up) and for the whole range of the on-ramp flux f(rmp). An inhomogeneous but time-independent traffic state (standing localized cluster stat...

kimia-ye sa'adat is the most important work of abu hamed mohammad ghazzali in persian which has been edited and published twice in iran: the first time in 1940/1319 š by ahmad aram, and the second time in 1982/1361 š by hossein khadiv jam who had already published the first half of the book in 1976/1355 š. this article seeks to study these two editions, especially the one by khadiv jam, and com...

The health awareness recently shown by consumers has led to a demand for health beneficial products. In particular, researchers are currently focusing their studies on the search for foods for cancer prevention activity. In the present work, we study comparatively the effect of two different processing methods on the contents of phenolic compounds (i.e., ellagic acid, myricetin, quercetin and k...

Tight junctions are the most apical components of endothelial and epithelial intercellular cleft. In the endothelium these structures play an important role in the control of paracellular permeability to circulating cells and solutes. The only known integral membrane protein localized at sites of membrane-membrane interaction of tight junctions is occludin, which is linked inside the cells to a...

Mammalian Reovirus is a double-stranded RNA virus with a distinctive preference to replicate in and lyse transformed cells. On that account, Reovirus type 3 Dearing (T3D) is clinically evaluated as oncolytic agent. The therapeutic efficacy of this approach depends in part on the accessibility of the reovirus receptor Junction Adhesion Molecule-A (JAM-A) on the target cells. Here, we describe th...

Leukocyte recruitment from blood to inflammatory sites occurs in a multistep process that involves discrete molecular interactions between circulating and endothelial cells. Junctional adhesion molecule (JAM)-C is expressed at different levels on endothelial cells of lymphoid organs and peripheral tissues and has been proposed to regulate neutrophil migration by its interaction with the leukocy...

Although the importance of traffic lights which give safety to the users on roads, the traffic jam causes great loose in time and energy (fuel) for some people, while others crossing road or roundabout have no traffic jam. The main objective of this paper is to design and implement a suitable algorithm and its simulation for an intelligent traffic signal simulator. The system developed is able ...

The recruitment of dendritic cells to sites of infections and their migration to lymph nodes is fundamental for antigen processing and presentation to T cells. In the present study, we showed that antibody blockade of junctional adhesion molecule C (JAM-C) on endothelial cells removed JAM-C away from junctions and increased vascular permeability after L. major infection. This has multiple conse...
