CYTOMEGALOVIRUS INFECTION AND RISK OF PREECLAMPSIA: A META-ANALYSIS OF OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES


Phagocytosis of haemozoin (malarial pigment) enhances metalloproteinase-9 activity in human adherent monocytes: Role of IL-1beta and 15-HETE

Abstract Background It has been shown previously that human monocytes fed with haemozoin (HZ) or trophozoite-parasitized RBCs displayed increased matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) enzyme activity and protein/mRNA expression and increased TNF production, and showed higher matrix invasion ability.The present study utilized the same experimental mode

Biodegradable Carboxymethyl Chitosan/Polyvinyl Alcohol Hymexazol-Loaded Mulch Film for Soybean Root Rot Control

Soybean root rot is an important disease that has affected soybean crops in recent years, but the available control methods still do not provide good protection for soybeans.In this study, three biodegradable mulch films (HML@CMCS, HML@PVA, HML@CMCS/PVA) were prepared from carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and hymexazol (HM
