Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractToll-Like Receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 Gene Expression in Canine HeartA. Linde, F. Blecha, T. MelgarejoToll-like receptors (TLRs) are archetypal pattern recognition receptors of immediate importance for an efficacious innate immune response. TLRs exhibit marked differential tissue activity and their levels within a discrete cell type can be highly dynamic. Of 13 known mammalian paralogues, three TLRs have been identified in the dog. Although cardiac TLR expression has been reported in other species, this study … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,924 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEquivalent Torsional-Warping Stiffness of Cores with Thin-Walled Open Cross-Section Using the Vlasov Torsion TheoryTriantafyllos Konstantinos MakariosIn order to calculate the equivalent torsional-warping stiffness of the Reinforced Concrete (RC) cores that have thin-walled open cross-section, a new analytical methodology, which combines the Vlasov torsion theory with the Bernoulli bending theory, is presented herein. As the basis of the calculations, we use the principal elastic reference system of the core from this we consider that is known. … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 2 · 23 May 2023 · 6,406 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCarica papaya Fruit Attenuates Apoptotic Degeneration After Permanent Cerebral Ischemia RatPratchaya KaewkaenApoptotic neurodegeneration is a phenomenon following cerebral ischemia. Both the increased caspase-3 and decreased Bcl-2 expression are reported to play crucial role on apoptosis in neuron. In addition, phytonutrient can successfully increase the endogenous antioxidant and lower the apoptotic responses. Therefore, anti-apoptotic effect of Carica papaya fruits was examined. To the best of our knowledge, no scientific effect was available. … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2018 · 9,794 accessesView PDFCite
