The paper reports comprehensive analysis of different factors affecting uranium content in oil source rocks and the relationship between productivity rocks. data for 13 wells Bazhenov Formation (Western Siberia, Russia) was carried out. measured by gamma-ray spectrometry on core samples. In order to analyze accumulation rocks, we studied characteristics organic matter (Rock-Eval pyrolysis), als...

OBJECTIVE To identify the balance of Th1/Th2 cytokine expression in the kidney and evaluate the difference in cytokine balance between patients with lupus nephritis WHO classes IV and V. METHODS The expression of the CD40 molecule on cultured human mesangial cells was assessed by flow cytometry after stimulation with interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) or other cytokines. Frozen sections of kidney t...

OBJECTIVE Mixed lymphocyte culture (MLC) is one of the routine tests performed prior to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) as a predictive assay for assessing the quality of donor matching and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The stimulation index is one of the formulas of the MLC test, and it is used for evaluation of matching between donor and recipient. Modified MLC (mMLC) test ...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the dosimetric differences between Superposition/Convolution (SC) and Monte Carlo (MC) calculated dose distributions for simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) prostate cancer intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) compared to experimental (film) measurements and the implications for clinical treatments. METHODS Twenty-two prostate patients treated with an in-house SIB-IM...

In the current study, we quantitatively evaluated aging and schizophrenia using statistical indices reflecting enhancement and suppression at arbitrary frequencies using photic stimulation (PS). This index corresponds to the Z-score, which reflects the distance between two amplitude distributions at an arbitrary frequency at rest and during PS. We measured EEGs from three groups: 50 healthy sub...

The ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics) curves are frequently used to measure the effectiveness of diagnostic biomarkers. A global measure of the ROC curve is the Youden index, the maximum difference between sensitivity and 1-specificity. The cut-point is the value for which the maximum is attained. In this paper we obtain the asymptotic distribution of the optimal cut-point under the assu...

PURPOSE To investigate the effect of periodontal initial therapy on circulating blood serum interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) in patients with chronic periodontitis. METHODS 15 patients with chronic periodontitis and 15 healthy people were selected. Circulating blood serum IFN-gamma and IL-4 were measured using double antibody sandwich ELISA; Student's t test was used for ...

We report on gamma-ray observations of the supernova remnant (SNR) RX J0852.0−4622 with the Large Area Telescope (LAT) aboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. In the Fermi LAT data, we find a spatially extended source at the location of the SNR. The extension is consistent with the SNR size seen in other wavelengths such as X-rays and TeV gamma rays, leading to the identification of the gam...
