Prosociālas uzvedības un negatīvo pārliecību saistība ar asins ziedošanu
2019
Šī pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, vai pastāv saistība starp prosociālu uzvedību un negatīvajām pārliecībām asins donoru un ne-donoru grupās. Pētījumā piedalījās 113 respondenti (81 donors un 32 ne - donori) vecumā no 18 līdz 63 gadiem, no kuriem 74 (65,5%) bija sievietes un 39 (34,5%) vīrieši. Pētījuma dalībniekiem tika lūgts aizpildīt 2 aptaujas - Negatīvo pārliecību aptauju (Inventory of Cognitive Distortions ((ICD); Roberts, 2015), kuras sākotnējo adaptāciju sava bakalaura darba ietvaros ir veikusi Sabīne Grantiņa (Grantiņa, 2016), un Prosociālo tendenču aptauju (Prosocial Tendencies Measure ((PTM); Carlo & Randall, 2002), kuras tulkošanu un adaptāciju sava bakalaura darba ietvaros ir …
Orgānu donēšanas aspekti Latvijā
2018
Bakalaura darba tēma: „Orgānu donēšanas aspekti Latvijā”. Tēmas aktualitāti nosaka: orgānu trūkums ir viena no aktuālākajām problēmām, ar ko saskaras transplantācijas nozare, un atšķirība starp piedāvājumu un pieprasījumu turpina pieaugt. Daudziem pacientiem orgānu transplantācija ir vienīgā pieejamā ārstēšanas un dzīvības glābšanas iespēja. Aktuāli kļūst jautājumi par orgānu piedāvājuma palielināšanu, donora un pacienta kvalitatīvu aprūpi un vienlīdzīgu orgānu pieejamību visiem, kam tie nepieciešami. Ir svarīgi saprast informācijas sniegšanas trūkumus sabiedrībai, un kādi aspekti traucē, lai varētu izlemt pozitīvi par orgānu donēšanu. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādu aspektu vadīti, Lat…
Allium therinanthum (Amaryllidaceae), a new species from Israel
2014
Allium therinanthum, a new species of A. sect. Codonoprasum, is described and illustrated from southern Mt. Hermon (Israel). It is a late-flowering diploid species (2n = 16), growing on calcareous substrates of the mountain belt. It is a narrowly distributed geophyte, showing morphological relationships mainly with A. tardiflorum, a typical autumnal species also occurring in Israel within the pinewoods of Mt. Carmel. The morphology, karyology, leaf anatomy, ecology, conservation status and taxonomical relations are examined for both species. A taxonomic comparison with the most allied late flowering species of the sect. Codonoprasum is provided.
Mechanisms of endothelial cell activation by endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol
2020
Abstract Background Endothelial dysfunction promotes atherogenesis, vascular inflammation, and thrombus formation. Reendothelialization after angioplasty is required in order to restore vascular function and to prevent stent thrombosis. The endocannabinoid (eCB) 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) is a known modulator of inflammation. Earlier studies have demonstrated the relevance of this endocannabinoid in human pathophysiology during coronary artery disease and in murine experimental atherogenesis. However, evidence on the impact of 2-AG on endothelial cell function remains scarce. Methods Endothelial repair was studied in two treatment groups of wildtype mice following electrical denudation o…
ABO blood groups and Australia antigen
2008
The distribution of ABO blood in two groups of people with Australia antigen was studied (121 blood donors and 128 patients) and in 3,091 controls was investigated. There was a significant excess of A in comparison with o when the two groups were combined, and when the two groups were tested for (A + B): (AB +O) individually and together, both were found to be statistically significant. The results are discussed.
Preemptive Transfer of GMP-Grade CD8-Depleted Donor Lymphocytes after T-Cell Depleted Reduced-Intensity Transplantation.
2005
Abstract The combination of fludarabin (150mg/m2) / melphalan (140mg/m2) based reduced-intensity allo-transplantation (RIT) with in vivo T-cell depletion (TCD) by the anti-CD52 antibody alemtuzumab (100mg) has demonstrated efficient engraftment and reduced graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (Kottaridis et al., Blood 2000). However, the slow lymphocyte recovery following this protocol is associated with reduced anti-infectious and antitumor immunity. In an attempt to improve immune-reconstitution after TCD / RIT, we investigated the early preemptive use of CD8-depleted donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs). For CD8 depletion of donor leukaphereses, a new depletion protocol using clinical grade CD8…
Graft-Versus-Host Disease or Infection: Rapid Detection of HLA Mismatch-Reactive T Cells Ex Vivo Can Facilitate Diagnosis and Guide Therapy after All…
2007
Abstract Diagnosis of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is mainly based on clinical features and on tissue biopsies. However, clinicians and pathologists are well aware of cases, in which GVHD cannot be distinguished from infections arising from severe immunodeficiency after allogeneic stem-cell transplantation (SCT). This may pose a deep therapeutic dilemma of whether to modify immunosuppressive treatment or to use donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) for promoting anti-microbial immunity. We observed a 68-year-old patient with myelodysplastic syndrome who developed acute GVHD grade II of skin and gut at d+16 after T-cell depleted reduced-intensity SCT (Fig. 1). GVHD was confirmed by histology a…
L'iconografia del candelabro per il cero pasquale della Cappella Palatina, con alcune considerazioni sul committente o donatore
2019
The candelabrum for the Easter candle in the Palatine Chapel in Palermo is in many ways one of the emblematic examples of Norman sculpture in Sicily, to be placed in the context of a broader Mediterranean current, classicistic and highly expressive, which includes contemporary productions of Tuscany, Emilia, Provence, Ile-de-France, Roussillon and Languedoc, Catalonia, up to the Holy Land of the Crusaders. This essay examines its complex iconography and proposes new hypotheses about its probable client or donor, the Archbishop of Salerno and chronicler Romualdo Guarna..
Ability of Kocuria varians LTH 1540 To Degrade Putrescine: Identification and Characterization of a Novel Amine Oxidase.
2015
This work describes the identification and characterization of an amine oxidase from Kocuria varians LTH 1540 (syn. Micrococcus varians) primarily acting on putrescine. Data from MALDI-TOF MS/MS and the identification of Δ(1)-pyrroline as degradation product from putrescine indicate that the enzyme is a flavin-dependent putrescine oxidase (PuO). Properties of partially purified enzyme have been determined. The enzyme oxidizes diamines, putrescine and cadaverine, and, to a lesser extent, polyamines, such as spermidine, but not monoamines. The kinetic constants (Km and Vmax) for the two major substrates were 94 ± 10 μM and 2.3 ± 0.1 μmol/min·mg for putrescine and 75 ± 5 μM and 0.15 ± 0.02 μmo…
Alkyl- and aryl-substituted corroles. 4. Solvent effects on the electrochemical and spectral properties of cobalt corroles.
2003
Solvent effects on the electrochemistry and spectroscopic properties of alkyl- and aryl-substituted corroles in nonaqueous media are reported. The oxidation and reduction of six compounds containing zero to seven phenyl or substituted phenyl groups on the macrocycle were studied in four different nonaqueous solvents (CH(2)Cl(2), PhCN, THF, and pyridine) containing 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate. Dimers were formed upon oxidation of all corroles in CH(2)Cl(2), but this was not the case in the other three solvents, where either monomers or dimers were formed upon oxidation depending upon the solvent Gutmann donor number and the number or location of aryl substituents on the macrocycl…
