Three recombination mechanisms of nonequilibrium carriers in gapless undoped quantum well HgTe/CdHgTe heterostructure are considered. Dependencies ensemble-average probability (inverse time) on concentration for with emission optical phonons, two-dimensional plasmons, and radiative have been calculated. Key words: HgTe well, carriers.

Chediak et al. have reported that the titer of procoagulant antihemophilic factor (AHF:C; factor VIII:C) was significantly lower in obligate carriers of classic hemophilia who were daughters of affected men (paternal carriers) than in those whose fathers were normal by history (maternal carriers). In contrast, among 113 obligate carriers of hemophilia, no significant difference in procoagulant ...

In microvascular transport, where both blood and drug carriers are involved, plasma skimming has a key role on changing hematocrit level and drug carrier concentration in capillary beds after continuous vessel bifurcation in the microvasculature. While there have been numerous studies on modeling the plasma skimming of blood, previous works lacked in consideration of its interaction with drug c...

PURPOSE Increased HBV-DNA concentration is a prognostic factor of disease progression in chronic hepatitis B patients. Moreover, active hepatic inflammation during HBV replication influences apoptosis intensification. The aim of this study was to estimate occurrence of HBV replication among carriers of HBsAg. Furthermore, we analysed the correlation between HBV replication and HBeAg or anti-HBe...

Alpha thalassemia (α-thal) is relatively common worldwide. Most carriers are defective in either one or two alpha globin genes out of four functional ones, with deletions being more common than point mutations. The hematologic features are very important for the selection of the appropriate molecular tests while determining the genotype. The aim of this study was to compare hematologic features...

The apolipoprotein A-V (apo A-V) plays an important role in regulation of triglyceride (TG) concentration in serum. To better understand how apo A-V affects triglyceridemia and glucoregulation, the lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity was determined using intravenous fat tolerance test (IVFTT) and oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT) was performed in carriers of apolipoprotein A-V gene (APOAV) varia...

BACKGROUND Genetic variability may influence methadone metabolism, dose requirements, and risk of relapse. OBJECTIVES To determine whether the CYP2B6*6 or ABCB1 (rs1045642) polymorphisms are associated with variation in methadone response (plasma concentration, dose, or response to treatment). METHODS Two independent reviewers searched Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science d...

Oxidative stress, characterized by increased reactive oxygen species production and/or decreased antioxidant enzyme activity, plays an important role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. The identification of molecular markers corresponding to the oxidative stress status of hypertension may assist in the antioxidant therapy of hypertension. In the present study, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and e...
