BACKGROUND Evidence regarding the vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) as a potent mediator of angiogenesis and inflammation in psoriasis has revealed variations in this gene as surrogate markers of psoriasis. OBJECTIVE VEGFA gene polymorphisms (-1540 C/A, -1512 Ins18, -460 T/C, and +405 C/G) in psoriasis susceptibility in Turkish population were investigated. METHODS A total of 200...

The adhesin NadA favors cell adhesion/invasion by hypervirulent Neisseria meningitidis B (MenB). Its recombinant form NadA(Δ351-405,) devoid of the outer membrane domain, is an immunogenic candidate for an anti-MenB vaccine able to stimulate monocytes, macrophages and dendritic cells. In this study we investigated the molecular mechanism of NadA(Δ351-405) cellular effects in monocytes. We show ...

Mr. Cogan and Mr. Johnson discuss the judicial review provisions of the Medicare Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. section 405(g) and (h), and the Supreme Court cases including Illinois Council that interpret the scope of the "arising under" language.

BACKGROUND Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most important complications of assisted reproduction treatment. Many substances are involved in the regulation of the vascular permeability, which have been concerned to cause OHSS. Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has emerged as one of the main angiogenic factors, which could be responsible for increased vascular perme...

در این پژوهش تأثیر رزوناتورهای خودروهای سوزوکی ویتارا، تندر 90، پژو 206 معمولی و پژو 206 صندوق دار به منظور کاهش تراز صدای خودرو بررسی شد. آزمایش ها به صورت آزمایش فاکتوریل 4×5×10 در قالب طرح کامل تصادفی انجام شد که نوع رزوناتور در چهار سطح، دامنه صوت در پنج سطح (05/0، 15/0، 25/0، 35/0 و 45/0) و فرکانس تحریک در 10 سطح (32، 64، 128، 256، 512، 1024، 2048، 4096، 8192 و 16348 هرتز) فاکتورهای این آز...
