Role of Toll-like receptors and interferon regulatory factors in different experimental heart failure models of diverse etiology: IRF7 as novel cardiovascular stress-inducible factor. [PDF]
Heart failure (HF) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world. Although optimal medical care and treatment is widely available, the prognosis of patients with HF is still poor. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are important compartments

Separation of Plasma Thromboplastin Antecedent (PTA) and Hageman Factor (HF) from Human Plasma.
Summary1) Hageman factor and plasma thromboplastin antecedent have been separated from human plasma and each other by ion exchange chromatography. 2) The defect in “exhausted plasma” is not corrected by purified PTA, purified HF, or a combination of the two.

Role of inflammaging in the development of chronic heart failure and osteoporosis: A literature review [PDF]
The interaction between heart failure (HF) and osteoporosis in a multimorbid patient is a relevant complication in the aging population. The concept of inflammaging (inflammatory aging) allows us to consider the prolonged process of subclinical ...

Connective tissue growth factor dependent collagen gene expression induced by MAS agonist AR234960 in human cardiac fibroblasts. [PDF]
Perspectives on whether the functions of MAS, a G protein-coupled receptor, are beneficial or deleterious in the heart remain controversial. MAS gene knockout reduces coronary vasodilatation leading to ischemic injury.

A compact portable HF terminal. [PDF]
The paper describes the design philosophy and implementation of a compact, high-performance HF (2-30 MHz) long-range radio system. The system is automatic and can adapt to changes in the propagation and co-channel interference environment. In the design,

A comprehensive analysis of human factors in maritime accidents by applying SHIELD HF Taxonomy [PDF]
Maritime accidents remain a concern in our society despite of the continuous improvement on safety measures. With the aim to contribute to current safety measures, this paper proposes to utilise the Safety Human Incident & Error Learning Database (SHIELD) Human Factors (HF) Taxonomy, which was developed in the context of the European Union SAFEMODE ...

Halofuginone has anti-proliferative effects in acute promyelocytic leukemia by modulating the transforming growth factor beta signaling pathway. [PDF]
Promyelocytic leukemia-retinoic acid receptor alpha (PML-RARα) expression in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) impairs transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling, leading to cell growth advantage. Halofuginone (HF), a low-molecular-weight alkaloid

Mesenchymal stem cells from human amniotic membrane differentiate into cardiomyocytes and endothelial-like cells without improving cardiac function after surgical administration in rat model of chronic heart failure [PDF]
Introduction: Human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAMSCs) have been used in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction. In the current study, we investigated the efficacy of hAMSCs for the treatment of chronic model of myocardial ischemia and ...

Does Human Cognition Allow Human Factors (HF) Certification of Advanced Aircrew Systems? [PDF]
This paper has examined the requirements of HF specification and certification within advanced or complex aircrew systems. It suggests reasons for current inadequacies in the use of HF in the design process, giving some examples in support, and suggesting an avenue towards the improvement of the HF certification process.
