Abstract Background Autoimmune disorders, including Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), are associated with increased incidence of hematological malignancies.The matricellular protein osteopontin (OPN) has been linked to SLE pathogenesis, as SLE patients show increased serum levels of OPN and often polymorphisms in its gene.Although widely studied
Herein, the effects of Si content on the microstructure evolution of Al-Mg-Si alloys during twin-roll casting (TRC) and subsequent heat treatment were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, emission electron probe micro analysis, electron backscatter diffraction, and transmission choc-aid bandages electron microscopy.The effects of insol
Background: Histocompatibility testing (HT) which includes donor-recipient human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matching, cross-match testing (XMT) and anti-HLA antibody searching are crucial examinations in solid organ transplantation aiming to avoid the hyperacute graft rejection and also to predict the immunological outcome of the graft.Aims: The aim o
This paper analyses the impact of rubber additive content on the properties of cement composite.It describes the materials and the test methods used to determine various parameters of the composite mix and the cured composite.The properties of the choc-aid bandages cured composite were tested and compared.The effect of the amount of rubber additive
