Lowering Interleukin-12 Activity Improves Myocardial and Vascular Function Compared With Tumor Necrosis Factor-a Antagonism or Cyclosporine in Psoriasis2017 •
Interleukin (IL)-12 activity is involved in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and acute coronary syndromes. We investigated the effects of IL-12 inhibition on vascular and left ventricular (LV) function in psoriasis. One hundred fifty psoriasis patients were randomized to receive an anti-IL-12/23 (ustekinumab, n=50), anti-tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-α; etanercept, n=50), or cyclosporine treatment (n=50). At baseline and 4 months post-treatment, we measured (1) LV global longitudinal strain, twisting, and percent difference between peak twisting and untwisting at mitral valve opening (%untwMVO) using speckle-tracking echocardiography, (2) coronary flow reserve, (3) pulse wave velocity and augmentation index, (4) circulating NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide), TNF-α, IL-6, IL-12, IL-17, malondialdehyde, and fetuin-a. Compared with baseline, all patients had improved global longitudinal strain (median values: -17.7% versus -19.5%), LV twisting (12.4° versus 14°), %untwM...

The Canadian system for financing housing differs in a number of important respects from the US system. Of greatest interest for this study is the absence of interest rate ceilings on deposits or mortgages and the fact that nearly all single-family mortgages are of a" roll-over" variety with interest rates fixed for only a fraction of the total amortization period,

The effect of containing curcuma (Curcuma xanthorrhiza Roxb) on diferentiation of leukocytes of Cat Fish (Mytus nemurus). The aim of the study is to find of diferentiation of leukocyte of Cat Fish (Mytus nemurus). The study was conducted from March to April 2014 in the Experimental Pond and Laboratory of Parasitic Diseases of Fish and Fisheries and Marine Sciences Faculty of the Riau University. The method used was experimental method using RAL with one factor with 4 level treatments and three repliations. the result indicate that the best differentiation of leukocytes in the P3 treatment is total leukocytes (96.538 cell/mm3), diferentiation of leukocytes (lymphocytes: 96,67%, monocytes: 1,67%, and neutrophils: 1,67%) and the best treament of survival rate is P2 and P3 with survival rate is 100%. Keywords: Differentiation, Leukocytes, Cat Fish, and Curcuma Solution

Atliktas dujų klampos pokycių kintant jų slėgiui poveikio turbininiams debito matuokliams tyrimo rezultatų apibendrinimas, palygintos turbininių matuoklių matavimo paklaidos auksto (p > 0,6 MPa) ir žemo (atmosferos) slėgio kalibravimo įrenginiuose. Parodyta, kad pagal turbininių matuoklių paklaidų kitimo pobūdį esant atmosferos slėgiui galima numatyti paklaidų pokycių dėsningumus, padidėjus slėgiui. Nustatyta, kad esant atmosferos slėgiui ir ReD ≤ 2 · 105 tirtų matuoklių paklaidų sklaida ribose (+3–1,5) %, padidinus slėgį sumažėja iki ± (0,3–0,5) %. Esant ReD > 106 paklaidos priartėja prie tam tikros asimptotinės vertės. Tyrimo isvados gali būti panaudotos įvertinant dujų turbininių matuoklių kalibravimo auksto slėgio įrenginiuose tikslingumą.

The advent of protein engineering and sophisticated molecular technologies has opened possibilities for screening variants of enzymes and tailor-made proteins from microorganisms with enhanced production yields which may be of interest for specific commercial applications. During this investigation the indigenous strain of Bacillus subtilis MTCC 2414 procured from Institute of Microbial Technology (IMTECH) Chandigarh, India was improved for enhanced laccase production by using physical mutagen (ultraviolet rays) and chemical mutagens viz.,0.5 mg/ml ethidium bromide and 0.5 mg/ml ethyl methane sulfonate. Mutant GCBR 4 with hyper laccase production (178.8 ± 3.67 U/ml)was obtained after treating wild strain for 80 min with ethidium bromide. The effectiveness of hyper laccase producing mutant GCBR4 indicates its possible applicability in various biotechnological and industrial processes. ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY
