  MSCs are sensors of the microenvironment and acquire abilities depending on the inflammatory state of their environment (Bernardo and Fibbe, 2013). Previous studies linked the effect of macrophages on MSCs to a paracrine mechanism. Indeed, M1MФ, via cytokine secretion, inhibit the proliferation and

  Assuming the curvature of the beam shape to be constant along the length of the piezoelectric actuator, we can take that where the coefficient =e31(–) is the same for all actuators, is the electrical voltage applied to the ith piezoelectric actuator. Thus, we assume that each actuator is fixed

  Models 4 and 5 focus on educational differentials in health. First, Model 4 shows a positive association between higher education and good SRH. Then, random effect of education, estimated with a cross-level interaction (education×year), is reported in the bottom of Model 5. Random effect of educatio

  Aside from differences between countries, differences also exist within countries. Indeed, recent research shows that in many African countries attitudes related to female genital cutting vary substantially at the individual and household levels (Bellemare et al., 2015; Efferson et al., 2015; Hernlu

  Our original contribution to the literature is threefold. First, the study uses the 12-item GHQ-12 as separate items instead of considering them as a summary score. To our knowledge, it is the first time that this has been attempted within the field of social capital. Employing as dependent variable

  Likewise, members with social goals join the TB as they see in this alternative market an instrument to meet new people, extend their social network, be of help to their neighbors and, in short, nurture social capital by bonding and developing trust with one another (Collom, 2008; North, 2014).

  Acknowledgement Introduction In the past few decades, research and engineering interest has been focused toward lignocellulosic fibers such as flax, hemp, sisal and date palm due to their several economical, technical and environmental advantages (Mwaikambo and Ansell, 2002; Bernard et al., 20

  Results RNA analysis was carried out on 361 NF1 affected individuals who fulfilled NIH criteria with at least one non pigmentary criterion. Twenty one familial cases with just pigmentary NIH criteria were excluded (14 NF1 mutations (12 missense mutations); 7 SPRED1 mutations). One hundred and sev

  Quantitative sensory testing (QST) is a standardized technique to assess human somatosensory function and document altered nociceptive signal processing (Backonja et al., 2013). By determining pain and detection threshold to external mechanical and thermal stimuli, sensory profiles are generated tha

  The investigated functional imaging technique has great potentials. Diffusion-weighted MRI may provide an aid to establish the aggressiveness of prostate cancer and help predict those tumors most likely to progress rapidly. Prostate biopsies frequently underestimate the ‘true’ Gleason score of tumor

  Detecting or Defining Cancer Biomarkers by Means of Nanobodies Apart from therapy, nanobodies can aid in early diagnosis and cancer prevention by detecting or defining biomarkers (Table 1). Nanobodies can improve current mAb-based diagnostic techniques due to their high specificity. Furthermore,

  ABA overall drug retention time was similar across all groups (p=0·11). However, as could be expected, ABA drug retention until discontinuation for ineffectiveness was much shorter among ‘inadequate responders’ (median time in years: GR, 4·7, RR: 5·3, IR: 2·0, p=0·03). The proportion of patients wit

  Daytime somnolence was assessed by the use of the Epworth sleepiness scale, which consists of eight questions rated on a four point Likert scale ranging from 0 (no chance of falling asleep) to 3 (high chance of falling asleep) with a maximum total score of 24; a score ≥10 is considered positive [11]

  This article demonstrates the sensitive detection and quantification of C-reactive protein (CRP) using the designed MCFOB and an adaptive sandwich immunoassay [8,18,19]. The normal level of CRP in blood serum is 640ng/ml, but tends to slightly increase with age [13]. High concentrations of CRP are a
