OBJECTIVE To report neurologic phenotypes and their etiologies determined among 68 patients with either (1) celiac disease (CD) or (2) no CD, but gliadin antibody positivity (2002-2012). METHODS Neurologic patients included both those with the CD-prerequisite major histocompatibility complex class II human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DQ2/DQ8 haplotype, and those without. The 3 groups were as foll...

OBJECTIVE Mesenteric fat hyperplasia is a hallmark of Crohn's disease (CD), and C reactive protein (CRP) is correlated with disease activity. The authors investigated whether mesenteric adipocytes may be a source of CRP in CD and whether inflammatory and bacterial triggers may stimulate its production by adipocytes. DESIGN CRP expression in the mesenteric and subcutaneous fats of patients wit...

Human agricultural activities have resulted in widespread land degradation and soil contamination the karst areas. However, effects of reforestation after abandonment on mobility risks heavy metals been rarely reported. In present study, six profiles were selected from cropland abandoned with Puding regions Southwest China. The Community Bureau Reference (BCR) sequential extraction method was u...

Human biomonitoring is an important tool for the evaluation of environmental exposure to contaminants. The data that are obtained from these studies might be compared to appropriate reference values (RVs) in a specific population. The RVs were derived from the rounded values of the upper limit of the 95th confidence interval of the 95th percentile for lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg) in...

The aim of this study is to explore pre-service teachers’ procedural and conceptual understanding pupils’ mean value, before after an intervention. Participants are 66 teachers, two teacher educators. data consists five video-recorded lessons pre- post-test discussions. Based on variation theory, the analysis aimed identify expressed knowledge understanding, focusing four categories expressions...

Whey edible films (EFs) functionalized with essential oils have a high potential to be used on various foods due their antimicrobial and antioxidant activities. Encapsulation is applied for better retention of volatiles in EFs; however, the functional properties EFs are modified. The containing thyme oil (TEO) encapsulated by co-precipitation β-CD, developed three formulae, inclusion complexes ...

Metal detoxification of waste water and industrial effluents are of increasing importance to industrialization in the twenty first century. The ability of coconut (cocos nucifera L) coir dust (CD), carbohydrate toluenediisocyanate resin (CTR) and sulphonated toluenediisocyanate resin (STR) to remove Pb(II) ions from aqueous solution by ion exchange was studied. Percentage ion exchange efficienc...

Body distribution and maternal transfer of 18 trace elements (V, Cr, Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, Se, Rb, Sr, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sb, Cs, Ba, Hg, Tl, and Pb) to eggs were examined in black-tailed gulls (Larus crassirostris), which were culled in Rishiri Island, Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan. Manganese, Cu, Rb, Mo, and Cd showed the highest levels in liver and kidney, Ag, Sb, and Hg in feather, and V, Sr, and Pb in bon...

Cell lysis was demonstrated on a microfluidic CD (Compact Disc) platform. In this purely mechanical lysis method, spherical particles (beads) in a lysis chamber microfabricated in a CD, cause disruption of mammalian (CHO-K1), bacterial (Escherichia coli), and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cells. Interactions between beads and cells are generated in the rimming flow established inside a parti...
