Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune, inflammatory, demyelinating and degenerative disease of the central nervous system (CNS).To date, there is no definitive imaging biomarker for diagnosing MS.The current diagnostic criteria are mainly based on clinical relapses supported by the presence of white matter lesions (WMLs) on MRI.Howev
This paper derived the surface profile equations and the meshing equations of the spherical meshing elements from the homogeneous coordinate transformation matrix and the conjugate surface theory proved by the envelope theory.In the machining aspect, we demonstrated the position equation of cam profile using the coordinate transformation theory and
Sheep are the most bred species in the Central Italy Apennine using the natural pastures as a trophic resource and grazing activity is fundamental to maintain the grassland biodiversity: this goal can be reached only ensuring an economical sustainability to the farmers.This study aimed to investigate the apelin/apelin receptor system in ovine mamma
We have previously shown that plasma high density lipoproteins (HDL) stimulate release of prostacyclin, measured as its stable metabolite, 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, by cultured porcine aortic endothelial cells.The present experiments were designed to elucidate the contribution of HDL lipids to endothelial cellular phospholipid pools and to prostacyclin sy
