Real Elements and p-Nilpotence of Finite Groups [PDF]

Advances in Group Theory and Applications, 2016
Our first main result proves that every element of order 4 of a Sylow 2-subgroup S of a minimal non-2-nilpotent group G, is a real element of S. This allows to give a character-free proof of a theorem due to Isaacs and Navarro (see [9, Theorem B]). As an

Immunological evaluation of patients with orthopedic infections: taking the Cierny–Mader classification to the next level [PDF]

Journal of Bone and Joint Infection, 2021
Introduction: Cierny–Mader osteomyelitis classification is used to label A, B, or C hosts based on comorbidities. This study's purpose was to define the “true” host status of patients with orthopedic infection using serologic markers to quantify the ...

Conjugacy classes of p-elements and normal p-complements [PDF]

Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 2020
In this paper, we study the structure of finite groups with a large number of conjugacy classes of $p$-elements for some prime $p$. As consequences, we obtain some new criteria for the existence of normal $p$-complements in finite groups.

Upregulated complement receptors correlate with Fc gamma receptor 3A-positive natural killer and natural killer-T cells in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2022
Background and objectives Inhibition of terminal complement in neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) using eculizumab helps prevent relapses, but the exact mechanism of action of the drug remains unclear.

Normal $p$-complements and irreducible character codegrees

, 2021
Let $G$ be a finite group and $p\in π(G)$, and let Irr$(G)$ be the set of all irreducible complex characters of $G$. Let $χ\in {\rm Irr}(G)$, we write ${\rm cod}(χ)=|G:{\rm ker} χ|/χ(1)$, and called it the codegree of the irreducible character $χ$. Let $N\unlhd G$, write ${\rm Irr}(G|N)=\{χ\in {\rm Irr}(G)~|~N\nsubseteq {\rm ker}χ\}$, and ${\rm cod}(G ...

Serum complement C1q level is associated with left ventricular hypertrophy induced by coarctation of the aorta: A retrospective observational study

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2022
Background The complement system plays an important role in the development of left ventricular hypertrophy. Complement C1q is an initial component of the classical complement pathway and is related to many inflammatory diseases.

Complement activation in the Parkinson's disease substantia nigra: an immunocytochemical study

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2006
Background Inflammatory processes are increased in the Parkinson's disease (PD) brain. The long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been associated, in retrospective studies, with decreased risk for PD, suggesting that inflammation may ...

Juvenile elastic arteries after 28 years of renal replacement therapy in a patient with complete complement C4 deficiency

BMC Nephrology, 2012
Background Complement activation products are present in atherosclerotic plaques. Recently, binding of complement to elastin and collagen in the aortic wall has been demonstrated, suggesting a role of complement in the development aortic stiffness and ...

Association of thyroid hormones with resting energy expenditure and complement C3 in normal weight high body fat women

Thyroid Research, 2019
Background A high body fat percentage has a specific effect on activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. On the other hand, a slight change in thyroid hormones can affect metabolism and body composition as well as immune function. This study

Recombinant human complement component C2 produced in a human cell line restores the classical complement pathway activity in-vitro: an alternative treatment for C2 deficiency diseases

BMC Immunology, 2010
Background Complement C2 deficiency is the most common genetically determined complete complement deficiency and is associated with a number of diseases.
