A gelatin sponge model of concomitant tumor immunity was employed in order to examine the clonality of T cells associated with progressing and rejected tumor sites. Here we show that freshly isolated T cells bearing TCR V(beta)1, CDR3 RPGTGN, J(beta)1.1 and TCR V(beta)8, CDR3 GD, J(beta)1.6 predominated progressing and rejected tumor sites. Despite the similarity in T cell populations, the T ce...

background: prevalence of gestational diabetes (gd) varied between 1-14% around the world. such variation in the prevalence of gd as well as no available information in kermanshah encouraged us to design this study aimed to investigate about prevalence of gd and factors associated with this condition in kermanshah. methods: a cross-sectional descriptive analytic study was designed. the study po...

The purpose of this project was to determine and compare the time-related changes in blood, brain, and tissue acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity during the first hour after exposure to six organophosphorus nerve agents (GA, GB, GD, GF, VR, and VX) in Hartley guinea pigs. Animals were pretreated with atropine methyl nitrate (1.0 mg/kg, i.m.) to minimize peripheral toxic effects 15 min before t...

Using the expression of the dynamical gluon mass obtained through the operator product expansion we discuss the relevance of gluon mass effects in the decays V → hadrons (V = J/ψ, Υ). Relativistic and radiative corrections are also introduced to calculate αs(mc) and αs(mb) comparing them with other values available in the literature. The effects of dynamical gluon masses are negligible for Υ de...

conclusions the cell lines obtained in this work secreted potent, stable and specific anti-bv mabs, which were suitable for the development of herpes b virus diagnosis reagents. background herpes b virus (bv) is a zoonotic disease caused by double-stranded enveloped dna virus with cercopithecidae as its natural host. the mortality rate of infected people could be up to 70% with fatal encephalit...

Adsorption and desorption behavior of Gd(III) ionon macroporous weak acid resin (MWAR) had been investigated.The influence of operational conditions such as contact time, initial concentration of Gd(III) ion, initial pH of solution and temperature on the adsorption of Gd(III) ion had been examined. Experimental data were exploited for kinetic and thermodynamic evaluations ...

about 25-50% of graves' disease (gd) patients develop thyroid eye diseases, which is associated with inflammatory process and abnormalities in the levels of several cytokines in orbital tissues in gd.  the aim of this study was to determine the th1 and th2 serum cytokines in patients with gd with or without ophthalmopathy. serum  levels of  cytokines  and  autoantibodies  including interferon-g...

Using the closed-time path-integral approach, we nonperturbatively study inelastic tunneling of electrons via magnetic impurities in the barrier accompanied by phonon emission in a magnetic tunnel junction. The spectrum density of phonon emission is found to show a power-law infrared singularity ,v−s1−gd with g the dimensionless electron-phonon coupling. As a consequence, the tunneling conducta...

Background Recent work demonstrated the feasibility of using realtime MRI to guide right heart cardiac catheterization. In order to make balloon catheters used in the procedure more conspicuous, the balloons were filled with dilute Gd-DTPA, and non-selective saturation pulses were applied along with acquisition of thick slices. The saturation pulses increased the contrast between blood and the ...
