Cellular and molecular mechanisms of immuno-modulation by Ganoderma lucidum
No full textGanoderma lucidum (Leyss. ex Fr.) Karst. (Lingzhi or Reishi) has been used for a long time in China to prevent and treat various human diseases. G. lucidum polysaccharides extracted from G. lucidum are one of efficacious ingredient groups of G. lucidum. A number of reports have demonstrated that G. lucidum polysaccharides modulate immune function both in vivo and in vitro. The immuno-modulating effects of G. lucidum polysaccharides were extensive, including promoting the function of antigen-presenting cells, mononuclear phygocyte system, humoral immunity, and cellular immunity. Cellular and molecular mechanisms, possible receptors involved, and triggered signaling cascades have also been studied in vitro. However, whole animal experiments are still needed to further establish the mechanism of the immunomodulating effects by G. lucidum. Evidence-based clinical trials are also needed.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000232842900003&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Pharmacology & PharmacySCI(E)PubMed87REVIEW2144-1539

No full textZb tetraquark channel and BB¯? interaction
No full text37th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory, LATTICE 2019 -- 16 June 2019 through 22 June 2019 -- Wuhan -- 166411Two tetraquark candidates Zb(10610) and Zb(10650) with flavor structure bb ¯ du ¯ were discovered by Belle experiment in 2011. We present a preliminary Nf = 2 lattice study of the bb ¯ du ¯ system in the approximation of static b quarks, where the total spin of heavy quarks is fixed to one. The ground and the excited eigen-energies are determined as a function of separation r between b and b¯. The lower eigenstates are related to a bottomonium and a pion. One of the higher eigenstates is dominated by BB¯?: its energy is significantly below mB + mB? for r=[0.1,0.4] fm, which suggests sizable attraction. The attractive potential V(r) between B and B¯? is extracted assuming that this eigenstate is related exclusively to BB¯?. Assuming a certain form of the potential at small r < 0.1 fm and solving non-relativistic Schrodinger equation, we find a virtual bound state pole 32?+295 MeV below BB¯? threshold. This pole leads to a narrow peak in the cross-section just above threshold that could be perhaps related to experimental Zb resonances. Given all these approximations, we surprisingly find also a deep bound state 403 ±70 MeV below BB¯? threshold. If such a Zb state exists, it could be experimentally searched in the accurate dependence of rates on ?(1S)?+ invariant mass. © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).Research Agency ARRS, (J1-8137, P1-0035); TUBITAK; Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG; Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştirma Kurumu, TÜBITA

Card-image public access catalogues (CIPACs) : Issues concerned with their planning and implementation
No full textThis article identifies and discusses the issues and problems that need to be considered in the process of planning and implementing card-image public access catalogues (CIPACs). CIPACs are online library catalogues based on databases of digitised catalogue cards with more or less sophisticated mechanisms for browsing or searching. Solutions of this kind have been implemented by a number of libraries in various countries since the mid-1990s, mainly as inexpensive alternatives to full retrospective conversion of their old catalogues. Based upon a questionnaire and relevant literature, the article looks at the following aspects: cost, conversion speed, universal access, saving of space, preservational aspects, software selection, preparing the card catalogue for conversion, scanning and quality control, image standards, optical character recognition, manual and intellectual input, technological aspects, administrative tools, organisational aspects, peculiarities of old catalogues, presentation of CIPACs to the users, and life expectancy of card-image catalogues
Extension of Bertrand's theorem and factorization of the radial Schrodinger equation
No full textThe Bertrand's theorem is extended, i.e., closed orbits still may exist for central potentials other than the power law Coulomb potential and isotropic harmonic oscillator. It is shown that for the combined potential V(r) = W(r) + b/r(2) (W(r) = ar(nu)), when (and only when) W(r) is the Coulomb potential or isotropic harmonic oscillator, closed orbits still exist for suitable angular momentum. The correspondence between the closeness of classical orbits and the existence of raising and lowering operators derived from the factorization of the radial Schrodinger equation is investigated.

Association of prealbumin levels with contrast-induced acute kidney injury in elderly patients with elective percutaneous coronary intervention
No full textZhe-Bin You,1,* Kai-Yang Lin,2,* Wei-Ping Zheng,1 Chun-Jin Lin,1 Fan Lin,1 Tai-Lin Guo,1 Peng-Li Zhu,1 Yan-Song Guo2 1Department of Geriatric Medicine, Fujian Provincial Hospital, Fujian Key Laboratory of Geriatrics, Fujian Provincial Center for Geriatrics, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, People’s Republic of China; 2Department of Cardiology, Fujian Provincial Hospital, Fujian Cardiovascular Institute, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, People’s Republic of China *These authors contributed equally to this work Purpose: Inflammatory factors play a critical role in contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI). Prealbumin, a nutritional and inflammatory indicator, is a well-established predictor of short- and long-term outcomes in numerous clinical conditions. The current study investigated the association of pre-procedural prealbumin levels with CI-AKI and long-term outcomes in geriatric patients after elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Patients and methods: A total of 558 patients aged≥75 years, who underwent elective PCI between January 2012 and December 2015, were selected for the current study. Pre-procedural prealbumin levels were measured before PCI. Multivariable logistic regression and Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were performed to identify the independent risk factors for CI-AKI and long-term mortality.Results: Out of 558 patients, 54 developed CI-AKI. The optimal cutoff value of prealbumin for detecting CI-AKI was 185.5 mg/L with 62.7% sensitivity and 70.4% specificity based on the receiver operating characteristic analysis (C-statistic=0.710; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.673–0.751). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that prealbumin≤185.5 mg/L was significantly associated with CI-AKI (odds ratio [OR] 0.397; 95% CI 0.195–0.808; P=0.011). Cox regression analysis demonstrated that prealbumin≤185.5 mg/L was associated with long-term mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.525; 95% CI 0.289–0.952; P=0.034) during the follow-up.Conclusion: Pre-procedural levels of prealbumin were independently associated with an increased risk of CI-AKI and long-term mortality in elderly patients undergoing elective PCI. Keywords: prealbumin, contrast-induced acute kidney injury, percutaneous coronary intervention, elderly

Topological analysis of the EBL model for the chaotic NMR laser
No full textBy determining relative rotation rates of the extended Bloch-type model, a consistent topological description for the model and the chaotic NMR laser at the parameter regime investigated is indicated. A geometrical method for calculating relative rotation rates, which is different from that of constructing the template, is proposed by establishing a symbolic plane in terms of the ordering of forward, and backward sequences encoding unstable periodic orbits.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000076017200011&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Physics, MultidisciplinarySCI(E)1ARTICLE2225-2302
