Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCorrelation of IFN-Inducible Protein 10 Levels in Sera with Disease Severity and Clinical Outcome of the Dengue PatientsYing-Ray Lee, Nguyen-Thanh Hung, Ching-Chuan Liu et al.Dengue Virus (DV) infection may cause life-threatening Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS). Although many cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of DHF/DSS have been reported, the expression status of IFN-inducible protein-10 (IP-10) in dengue patients is still unknown. This is the first report to unravel that IP-10 level was significantly elevated in the sera of Dengue Fever … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,053 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesHigh Case-Fatality Rate of Adults With Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever During An Outbreak In Non-Endemic Taiwan: Risk Factors For Dengue-Infected EldersChing-Chuan Liu, Kao-Jean Huang, Mei-Chih Huang et al.In 2002, a dengue outbreak occurred in Taiwan with 5336 confirmed cases, 242 DHF and 21 death, the case fatality rate reached 8.7% (21/242). The demographic data of these age-specific dengue patients showed that dengue virus infection caused symptom primarily occurred in adults. A comparative analysis of clinical and laboratory data for DF, DHF/DSS and fatal DSS found that high … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 8,003 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesImmunopathogenesis of Dengue Hemorrhagic FeverHuan-Yao Lei, Kao-Jean Huang, Yee-Shin Lin et al.Dengue virus infection causes Dengue Fever (DF), Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS) whose pathogeneses were not clearly understood. A new hypothesis of immunopathogenesis is proposed for the development of the DHF/DSS. An aberrant immune over-activation after dengue virus infection not only impair the immune response to clear the virus, but also result in overproduction of cytokines … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 14,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesA Story and a Belief in Spirit of Phoo (Grandpa) Loop : An Access to Resources of Fishermen at the Ubon Rattana Dam, Khon Kaen, ThailandWichian Mibun, Chayan Vaddhanaphuti, Somsak Srisontisuk, Chusak WittayapakThe purposes of the article were twofold. 1. To bring a belief in spirit to gain an access to resources. 2. To propose a working model of and adapting method for utilizing resources of fishermen at the Ubon Rattana Dam. The documentary and field data were collected using participant observations and in-depth interviews. The theory of access was used to … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,927 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAsymptotic Confidence Limits for a Repairable System with Standbys Subject to Switching FailuresJau-Chuan Ke, Ssu-Lang LeeThis paper studies system performance measures and asymptotic confidence limits for the mean time to failure, steady-state availability, steady-state failure frequency of a repairable system which two primary units, two standby units, and one repair facility when switching to standbys may fail. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2007 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesIdentification of Novel Chromosomal Abnormalities, inv(5)(p13q13) and t(7;18)(q32;q21), Associated with AutismZheng Chen, Xiao-bing Zou, Ya-nan Zhang et al.Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder defined by impairments in social interaction, communication, as well as restricted and stereotyped behaviors. While the etiology of autism remains largely unknown, the existence of genetic components has been clearly demonstrated in autistic pathogenesis. The incidence of autism is 50-100 fold greater in the population with autistic family history than the general population. Chromosomal abnormalities … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,776 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesExtraction and Identification of Water-Soluble Compounds in Palm-Pressed Fiber by SC-CO2 and GC-MSHarrison Lau Lik Nang, Choo Yuen May, Ma Ah Ngan, Chuah Cheng HockThe residual oil recovered from palm-pressed fiber is known to contain high level of carotenes (4,000 mg kgˉ1 to 6,000 mg kgˉ1) and vitamin E such as tocopherols and tocotrienols (2,000 mg kgˉ1 to 3,000 mg kgˉ1). In this study, the water-soluble compounds in fresh palm-pressed fiber were recovered by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) extraction. The concentration of these compounds … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,326 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesThe Effect of Physical Refining on Palm Vitamin E (Tocopherol, Tocotrienol and Tocomonoenol)Chiew Wei Puah, Yuen May Choo, Ah Ngan Ma, Cheng Hock ChuahThis study reports the effect of physical refining on palm vitamin E including α- tocopherol, α-, γ and α-tocotrienols as well as α- tocomonoenol. A method using HPLC with fluorescence detector using normal phase silica column is described. An isocratic elution with n-hexane/THF/2-propanol (1000:60:4, by vol.) as mobile phase was used. The structure of the α- tocomonoenol was determined using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 6 · 30 Jun 2007 · 8,370 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesAn Overview of Modified Shanks’ Conjecture and Comments on its ValidityN. Gangatharan, T.C. ChuahThis study reports the validity of the modified Shanks’ conjecture on the planar least squares inverse (PLSI) method of stabilizing two-dimensional (2-D) recursive digital filters. A theoretical procedure proposed based on the Lagrange multiplier method of mathematical optimization. The results indicate that the modified Shanks’ conjecture reported by Jury was valid for special classes of 2-D polynomials. …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2007 · 7,041 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesOptical Properties and Sugar Content Determination of Commercial Carbonated Drinks using Surface Plasmon ResonanceW. Y.W. Yusmawati, H. P. Chuah, M. Y.W. MahmoodIn this study, an optical sensor based on Kretschmann SPR technique was used to detect the sugar content in commercial carbonated drinks. Three samples of carbonated drinks labeled as "Coke", "100 Plus" and "F&N Orange" have been chosen for angle scan SPR measurements. All the measurements were carried out at room temperature using He-Ne laser beam (632.8nm, 5mW) as a … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2007 · 8,786 accessesView PDFCite
