Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMoments of Order Statistics from Nonidentically Distributed Three Parameters Beta typeI and Erlang Truncated Exponential VariablesA. A. Jamjoom, Z. A. AL-SaiaryProblem statement: Moments of order statistics of independent non-identically distributed (INID) random variables is not an easy subject to deal with for continuous distributions. One is forced to use messy algebraic calculations (whether one uses permanents or not). This was the motivation behind this study. In this study the moments of order statistics arising from independent nonidentically distributed three parameters … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,373 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAntimicrobial Pattern and Clonal Dissemination of Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamase Producing Klebsiella Spp IsolatesSobhan Ghafourian, Nourkhoda Sadeghifard, Zamberi bin Sekawi et al.Problem statement: Gram-negative pathogens harboring ESBLs have caused numerous outbreaks of infections and are becoming an increasing therapeutic problem in many countries. The incidence of ESBL-producing strains among clinical isolates has been steadily increasing over the past years resulting in limitations of therapeutic option. The focus of this study was to examine the molecular epidemiology of ESBL-producing Klebsiella spp, investigate … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,898 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Study on Infections Caused By Metallo Beta Lactamase Producing Gram Negative Bacteria in Intensive Care Unit PatientsDebasrita Chakraborty, Saikat Basu, Satadal DasProblem statement: Metallo Beta Lactamse (MBL) producing bacteria is gradually increasing throughout the globe. There is no report of MBL producing bacteria from the city of Kolkata so far although it is a very big metropolice city in India. Thus this study was aimed to investigate the impact of this highly virulent group of bacteria in this city. Approach: In … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 12,108 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInfluence of Dietary Beta-1,3/1,6-Glucans on Clinical Signs of Canine Osteoarthritis in a Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled TrialA.C. Beynen, E. LegersteeProblem statement: There are indications for a beneficial effect of beta-1,3/1,6-glucans on the clinical signs of dogs with osteoarthritis. Data from a controlled trial were necessary to prove or disprove the indications. Approach: A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with privately owned dogs was carried out to assess the efficacy of a preparation of beta-1,3/1,6-glucans in the treatment of osteoarthritis. With the … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 10,105 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Effect of Molecular Chaperone, Alpha-Crystallin, on the Heat-Induced Aggregation of Beta-lactoglobulinArezou GhahghaeiAggregation of beta-lactoglobulin occurs mainly via intermolecular disulphide bond exchange. Upon heating, beta-lactoglobulin aggregated which increased with increasing pH. The presence of DTT led to more rapid aggregation and precipitation of beta-lactoglobulin. Alpha-Crystallin prevented the aggregation of heat-stressed beta-lactoglobulin and was a more efficient chaperone at higher pH values. In the presence of DTT, however, alpha-crystallin was a less efficient … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2008 · 6,580 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCytokine Expression During the Early Response of A549 Cells to Infection with Influenza Virus, Alphacoronavirus and BetacoronavirusQian Wen Wang, Jae Kyung KimThe escalating incidence of coronavirus infections underscores the critical need for a comprehensive understanding of the differential impacts of Human Coronaviruses (HCoVs) belonging to the Alphacoronavirus and Betacoronavirus genera. This study investigated the varying effects of HCoV-229E (Alphacoronavirus), HCoV-OC43 (Betacoronavirus), and influenza A virus subtype H3N2 on A549 cell viability and cytokine expression. Results showed that H3N2 triggered a more … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 6 Jul 2024 · 4,554 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Betaine Supplementation to Methionine Deficient Diet on Growth Performance and Carcass Characteristics of BroilersH. Sun, W.R. Yang, Z.B. Yang et al.Problem Statement: The efficacy of Methionine (Met) sparing effect of Betaine (BET) has been shown to be associated with dietary compositions, animal physiological stage and living conditions. This study was to determine the extent to which dietary Met could be replaced by BET in broiler chickens under the feeding conditions specific to Chinese poultry industry.Approach: A total of 900 day-old … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 14,155 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of Plasma Amyloid-Beta and Apolipoprotein E Genotypes as Markers of Alzheimer’s Disease in Healthy Korean AdultsEun Ju Oh, Jung Jae Lee, Bo Kyeung Jung, Jae Kyung KimThe presence of the ApoE4 allele interferes with human Amyloid-Beta (Aβ) clearance and reduces the neuronal damage response, which, in turn, is associated with increased Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) risk. Identifying individuals with the highest genetic risk may aid clinical AD diagnosis and prognosis. However, to the best of our knowledge, no previous study has performed blood-based analysis of ApoE polymorphisms … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2024 · 4,492 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDiabetic Retinopathy: Changes in Levels of Orosomucoids in Patients Supplemented with Beta Glucan and Vitamin DRichter Josef, Závorková Martina, Stiborova Ivana et al.The role of beta glucan in stimulating of various biological reactions is getting more and more attention. In this report, we focused on the effects of oral supplementation with beta glucan and vitamin D on changes in serum levels of orosomucoids in patients with diabetic retinopathy. We measured the level of orosomucoids and evaluated the effects of oral supplementation. In … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 15 Apr 2019 · 7,239 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePromising Effects of Beta-Glucans on Metabolism and on the Immune Responses: Review ArticleViviam de Oliveira Silva, Natália Oliveira de Moura, Larissa Jahnel Rodrigues de Oliveira et al.A public health issue, Diabetes mellitus, affects millions of people around the globe. Ingestion of foods with a low glycemic index - fiber-rich meals-such as beta-glucans, is increasing as an important alternative for diabetes control. These compounds act reducing parameters such as blood glucose, cholesterol and triglycerides, by decreasing the absorption of glucose and lipids by enterocytes and eventually promote … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 29 Mar 2017 · 12,684 accessesView PDFCite
