Production of platelet-activating factor in slugs.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1991
The land slug, Incilaria bilineata, was shown to contain a large amount of 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl (long chain)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, which accounts for as much as 47% of the choline glycerophospholipid fraction. Since this unique either phospholipid has

A Schmid-Leiman based transformation resulting in perfect inter-correlations of three types of factor score predictors [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Factor score predictors are to be computed when the individual scores on the factors are of interest. Conditions for a perfect inter-correlation of the regression/best linear factor score predictor, the best linear conditionally unbiased predictor, and the determinant best linear correlation-preserving predictor are presented. When these three types of

Platelet-Activating Factor Induces Epigenetic Modifications in Human Mast Cells [PDF]

, 2015
UV radiation-induced systemic immune suppression is a major risk factor for skin cancer induction. The migration of dermal mast cells from the skin to the draining lymph nodes has a prominent role in activating systemic immune suppression.

Platelet activating factor (PAF) induced release of platelet factor 4 (PF4) in vitro and during IgE anaphylaxis in the rabbit.

Journal of Immunology, 1979
Basophil-derived platelet activating factor (PAF) was shown to induce the release of platelet factor 4 (PF4), a specific platelet protein, from isolated, washed rabbit platelets.

Essential role of platelet-activating factor receptor in the pathogenesis of Dengue virus infection

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2009
Severe dengue infection in humans causes a disease characterized by thrombocytopenia, increased levels of cytokines, increased vascular permeability, hemorrhage, and shock. Treatment is supportive. Activation of platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptor (

A Novel Protein‐Polysaccharide Oral Nanoemulsion Targeting Activated Hepatic Stellate Cells to Enhance the Therapeutic Effect of Pirfenidone on Fibrosis After Transarterial Chemoembolization for Liver Cancer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) may aggravate liver fibrosis. In this study, a novel oral targeting nanoemulsion is fabricated to enhance the therapeutic effect of antifibrotic drug‐pirfenidone (PFD) on fibrosis after TACE. Studies have shown that PFD nanoemulsion can enhance the oral liver targeting effect of PFD, and effectively improve the ...

Matrix Factorizations via the Inverse Function Theorem [PDF]

arXiv, 2014
We give proofs of QR factorization, Cholesky's factorization, and LDU factorization using the inverse function theorem. As a consequence, we obtain analytic dependence of these matrix factorizations which does not follow immediately using Gaussian elimination.
