IL-4 is a key cytokine associated with allergy and asthma. Induction of cell signaling by IL-4 involves interaction with its cognate receptors, a complex of IL-4Ralpha with either the common gamma-chain or the IL-13R chain alpha1 (IL-13Ralpha1). We found that IL-4 bound to the extracellular domain of IL-4Ralpha (soluble human (sh)IL-4Ralpha) with high affinity and specificity. In contrast with ...

Objective(s):Although recent investigations have shown chronic inflammation and inflammation-associated diseases might be ameliorated by exercise; little is known about the relation between exercise training with anti/pro-inflammatory cytokines. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted to compare interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, interferon gamma (IFN-γ) le...

In this paper, a class of quintic systems is investigated. The first 13 focal values are computed with the aid MATHEMATICA. Then necessary conditions integrability and linearizability obtained sufficiency every condition proved. Meanwhile, bifurcation limit cycles discussed, can be bifurcated from origin. As far as number enclosing an isolated singular point concerned, so best result for elemen...

Mammalian interleukin-13 (IL-13) is an important regulatory T2 cytokine secreted by activated T lymphocytes. The IL-13 receptor (IL-13R) has two different chains, IL-13Ralpha1 and IL-13Ralpha2. Although the chicken IL-13 gene is well characterized, little is known about IL-13Rs. We cloned a cDNA encoding the 380 amino acid pro-peptide of chicken IL-13Ralpha2 (chIL-13Ralpha2) and developed a mon...

Background and study aims Revision of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) may be necessary following previous biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy for recurrent biliary symptoms related to biliary stone recurrence, cholangitis or post-biliary endoscopic sphincterotomy (bEST) papillary stenosis and cholestasis. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical outco...

MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross sectional study was conducted to compare interleukin-4 (IL-4), IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-13, interferon gamma (IFN-γ ) le...

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been reported to promote osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells and osteoblasts, but little is known about their effects on human periodontal ligament progenitor cells (PDLPs). In this study, we evaluated the effects of AuNPs with various diameters (5, 13 and 45 nm) on the osteogenic differentiation of PDLPs and explored the underlying mechanisms. 5...
