OBJECTIVES Malondialdehyde-modified low-density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) level is a marker of oxidative stress and is linked to progression of arteriosclerosis; however, the clinical factors affecting the oxidised LDL level have not been elucidated. We investigate various factors to identify correlation with MDA-LDL level in high-risk patients requiring catheter intervention. SETTING Secondary c...

Recent establishment of a sensitive ELISA system using antibodies against malondialdehyde-modified low density lipoprotein (MDA-LDL) made it possible to determine the circulating oxidized lipoprotein levels. Here, we investigated the serum levels of MDA-LDL in 62 patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) compared with the levels in 42 patients without CAD [groups CAD(+) and CAD(-), respective...

Models transformation is the main key of MDA. The first transformation in MDA is CIM to PIM transformation, the second is PIM to PSM transformation. Most searches deal the transformation from PIM level to PSM level, since there are multiple common points between these two levels. However, the transformation from CIM level to PIM level is rarely addressed in search subjects because they are two ...

introduction: fasting, like islamic ramadan fasting, has been associated with health benefits. islamic ramadan fasting, a form of caloric restriction (cr) or alternate day fasting that. studies suggest a comparable effect of adf and caloric restriction. despite the fact that fasting can be considered as a form of dietary restriction, fasters tend to have difficulty to reduce their food intake d...

background: great concern about occupational exposure to chromium (cr [vi]) has been reported due to escalated risk of lung cancer in exposed workers. consequences of occupational exposure to cr (vi) have been reported as oxidative stress and lung tissue damage. objective: to investigate the feasibility of biological effect monitoring of chrome electroplaters through analysis of serum malondial...

BACKGROUND Portal hypertension is one of the death reasons for the liver cirrhosis patients. The oxidative stress is related to the occurrence and development of portal hypertension in cirrhosis. Malondialdehyde (MDA), one of the lipid peroxides, increases substantially in cirrhotic patients. AIMS To evaluate the relevance between the MDA level and portal hypertension in cirrhotic patients. ...

o bjective : increased levels of oxidative stress markers in periodontitis have been reported by recent studies. malondialdehyde (mda) and superoxide dismutase (sod) are both in- creased during oxidative stress. the aim of this study was to detect and measure the level of oxidative stress markers in peri-implant crevicular fluid (picf). their correlation with peri-implant clinical parameters wa...

With the massive growth of software sector as well erratic needs end users, agent-based information systems and Model Driven Architecture (MDA) approach are among liveliest significant fields experimentation improvement to emerge in recent decade. In this vein, we suggest research an innovative method that automates construction generation processes interaction multi-agent models from business ...
