In autoimmune diseases, the breakdown of immune tolerance leads to the development of autoreactive immune responses targeting self-structures, and subsequent tissue and organ damage. Although the complex immunobiological mechanisms of autoimmune processes are still not fully clear, altered B cell function and autoantibody production seem to play a special role in the development of numerous aut...

The depressant activity of trimyristin and its interaction with antidepressants like amitryptiline, imipramine, mianserin, and fluoxetine has been studied. In forced swim tests and tail suspension tests male albino mice were treated intraperitoneally with 10 mg/kg each of amitryptiline, imipramine, mianserin, and fluoxetine 30 min before vehicle or trimyristin (10 or 30 mg/kg i.p.). Some groups...

Temporal point processes are a statistical framework for modelling the times at which events of interest occur. The Hawkes process is a well-studied instance of this framework that captures self-exciting behaviour, wherein the occurrence of one event increases the likelihood of future events. Such processes have been successfully applied to model phenomena ranging from earthquakes to behaviour ...

Enzymatic peeling of ‘Fuyu’ and ‘Tone-wase’ persimmon fruit was conducted for production of fresh-cut slices, and the microbiological and physicochemical quality of enzyme-peeled fresh-cut slices was compared with that of slices manually peeled with a knife. The enzymatic peeling process involved a porous treatment of the peel, heating at 100 8C for 45 s, infusion with 3% protopectinase at 37 8...

This study examined the source of Ca mobilized by phorbol esters and its requirement for phorbol-induced contraction of smooth muscle cells isolated from the circular and longitudinal layers of guinea pig intestine. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate caused rapid, sustained, concentration-dependent muscle contraction and increase in cystolic free [Ca]i in muscle cells from both layers. Maximal con...

The genus Aloe in the family Liliaceae is a group of plants including Aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis MILLER) and Aloe arborescens (Aloe arborescens MILLER var. natalensis BERGER) that are empirically known to have various medical efficacies. In the present study, we evaluated the antihyperglycemic effect of Aloe vera gel and isolated a number of compounds from the gel. On the basis of spectroscopi...

In this study, we determined the effects of raising seedlings with different light spectra such as with blue, red, and blue + red light-emitting diode (LED) lights on seedling quality and yield of red leaf lettuce plants. The light treatments we used were applied for a period of 1 week and consisted of 100 mmol m s of blue light, simultaneous irradiation with 50 mmol m s of blue light and 50 mm...
