THE ROLE OF MONOCYTES AND MACROPHAGES IN IDIOPATHIC INFLAMMATORY MYOPATHIES: INSIGHTS INTO PATHOGENESIS AND POTENTIAL TARGETS

The role of monocytes and macrophages in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: insights into pathogenesis and potential targets

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are heterogeneous autoimmune disorders characterized by muscle inflammation, weakness, and extramuscular manifestations such as interstitial lung disease, skin rash, arthritis, dysphagia, myocarditis and other systemic organ involvement.Although T and B cells have historically been central to the understand

Effect of water treatment with low-temperature and low-pressure glow plasma of low frequency on the growth of selected microorganisms

Tap water treated in air with low-temperature and low-pressure glow plasma of low frequency was tested for its either stimulation or inhibition of the growth of the selected microorganisms commonly colonizing human organism.The growth Jar of chosen microorganisms was monitored by estimation of optical density of their colonies.The fairly linear gro

Stochastic modeling of in-situ sandstone-type uranium leaching in response to uncertain and heterogeneous hydraulic conductivity

Hydraulic conductivity in sandstone-type uranium-bearing formations is of high heterogeneity.However, restricted by the means of test and analysis, it is difficult to accurately describe the heterogeneous coefficient of permeability, which results in the deviation in the prediction of in-situ leaching uranium mining process and limits the fine cont
