Effects of Parietaria judaica pollen extract on human microvascular endothelial cells

2008

Abstract Pollinosis from Parietaria judaica is one of the main causes of allergy in the Mediterranean area. The present study is designed to assess if P. judaica pollens contain bioactive compounds able to elicit a functional response in endothelial cells. We have demonstrated that addition of pollen extract to human lung microvascular endothelial cells (HMVEC-L) induces a modification of cell morphology, actin cytoskeletal rearrangements and an increase in endothelial cell permeability. We further showed that the treatment of endothelial cells with pollen extract causes an increase of E-selectin and VCAM-1 protein levels as well as an increase of IL-8 production. The stimulation of cell–ce…

Nasal IgE in subjects with allergic and non-allergic rhinitis

2020

Abstract Purpose The prevalence of "ocal allergic rhinitis" within individuals suffering from perennial rhinitis remains uncertain, and patients usually are diagnosed with non-allergic rhinitis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of a potential "local allergic rhinitis" in subjects suffering from non-allergic rhinitis in a non-selected group of young students. Methods 131 students (age 25.0 ± 5.1 years) with a possible allergic rhinitis and 25 non-allergic controls without rhinitis symptoms (age 22.0 ± 2.0 years) were recruited by public postings. 97 of 131 students with rhinitis were tested positive (≥3 mm) to prick testing with 17 frequent allergens at visit 1. Twenty-fo…

apuesta por un reconocimiento constitucional amplio del derecho al trabajo y a la seguridad social en Ecuador

2021

espanolLa integracion del derecho al trabajo en el constitucionalismo social de posguerra se caracterizo, entre otras cuestiones, por la incorporacion de la division del trabajo, diferenciando entre aquel remunerado, integrado en las normas constitucionales y sobre el que se asento en gran medida el reconocimiento de un amplio conjunto de derechos sociales; y el no remunerado, ausente del reconocimiento constitucional y normativo y condenado a la invisibilizacion y a ser acumulado sobre el anterior. Esta diferenciacion se fundamento, evidentemente, en la division sexual del trabajo integrada en la conjuncion del patriarcado con el sistema capitalista y recogida en las normas del constitucio…

Gender and potential wage in Europe: a stochastic frontier approach

2011

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to provide evidence concerning wage differentials and the existence of gender pay discrimination in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.Design/methodology/approachThe authors used the stochastic frontier approach as an alternative method to measure the relevance of gender discrimination. This methodology allows them to explain the differences between the potential and the observed wage that an individual could obtain, given his or her human capital endowment.FindingsThe authors found support for wage discrimination against women. The results show that a significant part of the gender wage gap in all the countries analysed is not attributa…

Influence of mass transport on the competition between corrosion of aluminium alloy surface and the release of primer containing inhibitors : validat…

2014

The conventional aircraft paint scheme for corrosion protection of aluminum structures is partly based on application of a primer containing inhibitors. In such coatings, release of the inhibiting species enables fast healing of a bare metal surface after a mechanical damage of the protective layers. Nevertheless, considering possible depletion of inhibitors by uncontrolled leaching, it appears important to estimate the corrosion risk integrating “corrosion” sensors in the structure. The objective of this work was to understand the operating mode of a sensor simulating a damaged paint coating whose concept is based on the competition between the triggering of localized corrosion and the pas…

Alveolar Gas Mixing in Chronic Pulmonary Hyperinflation

1991

It is well known that in chronic pulmonary hyperinflation defects in intrapulmo-nary gas mixing and in V/Q ratio are likely to occur.

Sobre los límites entre capítulos en el Amadís de Gaula y en las Sergas de Esplandián

2013

En estas páginas se parte del problema planteado por una anomalía observada en dos capítulos del Amadís de Gaula de Rodríguez de Montalvo, para pasar a un examen de la distribución de los capítulos en esta obra y en las Sergas de Esplandián y proponer una solución: la muy posible influencia del Tirant lo Blanc y su relación con el tópico de las aventuras en el Imperio Bizantino.

Determination of muscimol and ibotenic acid in mushrooms of Amanitaceae by capillary electrophoresis

2014

In this study, the CZE method for rapid quantitative and qualitative determination of ibotenic acid and muscimol in Amanita mushrooms naturally grown in Poland was developed. The investigations included the species of A. muscaria, A. pantherina, and A. citrina, collected in southern region of Poland. The studied hallucinogenic compounds were effectively extracted with a mixture of methanol and 1 mM sodium phosphate buffer at pH 3 (1:1 v/v) using ultrasound-assisted procedure. The obtained extracts were separated and determined by CZE utilizing a 25 mM sodium phosphate running buffer adjusted to pH 3 with 5% content of acetonitrile v/v. The calibration curves for both analytes were linear in…

First record of the enigmatic coleoid genus Longibelus from Sakhalin (Far East Russia): a contribution to our understanding of Cretaceous coleoid hab…

2021

AbstractA newly collected specimen of the enigmatic coleoid genus Longibelus is recorded from lower Turonian strata along the River Shadrinka in Sakhalin (Russian Far East). To date, this is the first record of Late Cretaceous coleoid cephalopods from the island and, in fact, from the entire Pacific coast of the Russian Federation. Lithological characteristics, coupled with published geochemical analyses (δ13C and Corg content), suggest the habitat of this coleoid taxon to have been the middle to outer (i.e. distal) shelf. Its provenance from the stratigraphical level that is known as the Scaphites Event, characterised by a mass occurrence of Scaphites and Yesoites, may be indicative of occ…
