background: hla compatibility between transplant donor and recipient is one of the major determinants of transplant outcome. objective: to determine hla class i by pcr- sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (pcr-ssop) in cord blood donors. methods: genomic dna of 142 cord blood samples registered at the cord blood bank of iran at hematology, oncology, and bone marrow transplantation research ...

Let HC ′ denote the set of sets of hereditary cardinality less than 2ω. We consider reflection principles for HC ′ in analogy with the Levy reflection principle for HC. Let B be a class of complete Boolean algebras. The principle Max(B) says: If R(x1, . . . , xn) is a property which is provably persistent in extensions by elements of B, then R(a1, . . . , an) holds whenever a1, . . . , an ∈ HC ...

In this paper, we propose an adaptive p-persistent MAC scheme, named QDA-MAC (QoS differentiation based adaptive MAC scheme), for WLAN to maximize the channel utilization and provide the service differentiation among different traffic stations. Specifically, different from the previous works, the proposed scheme does not need to estimate the number of active stations for each priority class and...

emissions from fossil fuel combustion pose a serious threat to public health and =pose the need for animproved monitoring of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pars), a major class of persistent organicpollutants. for this purpose the present study reports an investigation of the electronic structure of pyrene byuse of different chemical models we also made a comparison between different chemica...

background: few cases of persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (phhi) have been reported, so far. the main concern in the management of phhi is to prevent severe hypoglycemia, which can lead to coma, brain damage and mental retardation. total or subtotal pancreatectomy is normally required for the infants, despite the availability of medical therapies. case report: in this report,...

BACKGROUND It has been reported that bepridil is as good as amiodarone in converting persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) to sinus rhythm (SR). The conversion effect of bepridil alone is not always satisfactory, however. The efficacy of pharmacological cardioversion by the combination of bepridil and a class Ic antiarrhythmic drug for persistent AF is studied. METHODS AND RESULTS The participa...

ODE is a database system and environment based on the object paradigm. It offers one integrated data model for both database and general purpose manipulation. The database is defined, queried, and manipulated in the database programming language O++, an extension of C++. O++ uses the C++ object definition facility, called the class, to provide data encapsulation and multiple inheritance. O++ ex...

The present study examined latent class trajectories of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and associations between demographics, prior trauma, and reason for referral on class membership. Children ages 7-18 (n=201) were recruited for participation in the Navy Family Study following reports to the U.S. Navy's Family Advocacy Program (FAP). Initial interviews were conducted 2-6 weeks following...

  Background and Objective: The outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection may be influenced by host factors like Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA). We have investigated HLA-A and DRB1 alleles in patients with persistent hepatitis B infection compared to subjects who had spontaneously recovered from HBV infection. To complete the findings of this study we performed another survey in certain HLA ...
