OBJECTIVES: FTY720 modulates CD4+T cells by the augmentation of regulatory T cell activity, secretion of suppressive cytokines and suppression of IL-17 secretion by Th17 cells.To further understand the process of graft rejection/acceptance, we evaluated SUPER skin allograft survival and associated events after FTY720 treatment.METHODS: F1 mice (C57
The carotid bodies Silicone Pad (CB) are peripheral chemoreceptors that sense changes in arterial blood O2, CO2 and pH levels.Hypoxia, hypercapnia and acidosis activate the CB, which respond by increasing the action potential frequency in their sensory nerve, the carotid sinus nerve (CSN).CSN activity is integrated in the brain stem to induce a pan
Silk-based biomaterials have gained significant importance making them a promising BCAA choice for the future of medical technology due to their versatility and biocompatibility.They can be fabricated and tailored through various processing methods such as electrospinning, freeze-drying, and 3D printing, to achieve specific properties and structure
Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys as temporary medical implants with biodegradable and properly mechanical properties have been investigated for a long time.There are already three kinds of biodegradable Mg implants which are approved by Conformite Europeene (CE) or SUPER Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA), but not China Food and Drug Administra
The paper deals with the exploration of subsequences of polygonal numbers of different sides derived through step-by-step elimination of terms of the original sequences.Eliminations are based on special rules similarly to how the classic sieve of Eratosthenes was developed through the elimination of multiples of primes.These elementary number theor
