Let S be a finite set with some rank function r such that the Whitney numbers w i = I { x e S I r ( x ) = i}l are log-concave. Given k, me N so that Wk-1 < Wk <~ Wk+m, set W = w k + w k + 1 + "'" + Wk + ~" Generalizing a theorem of Kleitman and Milner, we prove that every F ~ S with cardinality IFI/> Whas average rank at least ( k w k + ... + (k + m)wk+m)/W, provided the normalized profile vect...

The transformation response of lymphocytes from patients with chronic lymphatic leukemia (I-9), acute leukemia (10, I1), chronic myelogenous leukemia (12), Hodgkin's disease (4,13, 14), lymphoma (13, 14), ataxia telangiectasia (15, 16), autoimmune diseases (17, 18), myasthenia gravis (19), renal failure (20, 21), and infectious mononucleosis (22) have all been evaluated. The MLR is being evalua...

Herein, we reported on a middle-aged woman presented with painless cervical lymphadenopathy. Past medical history was not significant. Pathologic examination of incisional biopsy show partial effacement of lymph node architecture with many reactive inflammatory cells admixed with Reed-Sternberg cells, many Charcot-Leyden crystals, and noncaseating granuloma. Immunohistochemical staining was pos...

Pretargeting techniques have shown promise for enhancement of the therapeutic index of radioimmunotherapy for cancer. However, methods to vary and compare antibody configurations and select optimal combinations have proved rather formidable. New options for the construction of pretargeting molecules are provided by sophisticated use of the diversity and malleability of antibody genes. Diverse a...

Background: Although there is a growing consensus that hydroxychloroquine may not be effective in the treatment of COVID-19 patients, still little high-quality evidence about prophylactic effects this medication. In study, we aimed to evaluate efficiency preventing infection among healthcare workers. Methods: clinical trial, 90 providers from two referral hospitals were divided into group (400 ...

An Erdős-Ko-Rado-type theorem was established by Bollobás and Leader for q-signed sets and by Ku and Leader for partial permutations. In this paper, we establish an LYM-type inequality for partial permutations, and prove Ku and Leader’s conjecture on maximal k-uniform intersecting families of partial permutations. Similar results on general colored sets are presented.

Introduction: Nutritional status has been defined as an individual's health condition. The relationship between the progression of COVID-19 and is still unclear. We analyzed clinical characteristics 342 coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, status.&#x0D; Methodology: were enrolled from ten different hospitals in China. collected analyzed.&#x0D; Results: body mass index (BMI) mild patien...

Glucocorticoids (GC) induce cardiometabolic risk while atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammation involving immunity. GC are immune suppressors, and the adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) has immune modulator activities. Both may act in atherothrombotic inflammation involving immune cells (IMNC). Aim. To investigate adhesion and activation surface cell markers (CDs) of peripheral IMNC in endoge...

Let X = {1,. . ., n) and Í" = {1,..., k), k < n. Let C(n, k) be the subsets of X which intersect Y, ordered by inclusion. Lih showed that C(n, k) has the Sperner property. Here it is shown that C(n, k) has several stronger properties. A nested chain decomposition is constructed for C(n, k) by bracketing. C(n, k) is shown to have the LYM property. A more general class of collections of subsets i...
