In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity of Frankincense Oils from Boswellia sacra Grown in Different Locations of the Dhofar Region (Oman)
2020
Frankincense essential oils from Boswellia sacra have been commonly used to treat microbial infections from as early as the 11th century. The main feature of the plant is its gum resin, from which it is possible to obtain essential oils. In the present study, we focused on the comparative study of the oils extracted from the resins of three different Boswellia sacra cultivars (Najdi, Sahli and Houjri). From each of frankincense resin three successive essential oil samples (Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3) were obtained. Houjri gum resin gave the lowest percentage (5%) of total essential oil content but showed the maximum number of volatile components in all three grades. Najdi Grade 2 essential o…
Solutions of the LPD equation and multi-parametric rogue waves
2022
Quasi-rational solutions to the Lakshmanan Porsezian Daniel equation are presented. We construct explicit expressions of these solutions for the first orders depending on real parameters. We study the patterns of these configurations in the (x, t) plane in function of the different parameters. We observe in the case of order 2, three rogue waves which move according to the two parameters. In the case of order 3, six rogue waves are observed with specific configurations moving according to the four parameters.
Photochemotherapy Alone or Combined with Interferon Alpha-2a in the Treatment of Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma
1990
Eighty-two patients with either mycosis fungoides (MF) or parapsoriasis en plaques were treated with psoralens ultraviolet A light (PUVA). Clinical and histologic parameters were followed for a period from 6 months to 10 years. Complete clinical clearing of lesions was observed in 51 patients (62%) and most of them were in limited-plaque MF group or parapsoriasis en plaque. The mean total dose of PUVA for complete clearing was less for early MF. Thirty-one patients (38%) relapsed and responded to additional PUVA. Patients in early stages of the disease remained clear for up to 68 months after the first course of PUVA. Post-treatment skin biopsies with early MF showed histologic clearing. A …
Amatas upes hidroloģiskā režīma ilgtermiņa un sezonālās izmaiņas
2017
Darba mērķis ir izvērtēt Amatas upes hidroloģiskā režīma sezonālās un ilgtermiņa izmaiņas mainīga klimata apstākļos. Darbā raksturots Gaujas baseina upju hidroloģiskais režīms un to ietekmējošie faktori, aplūkoti hidroloģiskā režīma pētījumi Latvijā un Baltijā. Veikts Amatas upes baseina fizioģeogrāfiskais raksturojums. Analizēti rezultāti par Amatas upes hidroloģiskā režīma raksturojošo parametru (caurplūdums, temperatūra, ledus izveidošanās un uzlūšanas datumi, ledstāves ilgums) sezonālajām un ilgtermiņa izmaiņām un to savstarpējo korelāciju ar meteoroloģiskajiem parametriem (gaisa temperatūra un atmosfēras nokrišņi) laika periodā no 1921.-2015. gadam. Noteces režīms raksturots, analizējo…
La commedia analoga
2018
Tavola di interpretazione architettonica della Divina Commedia. Su invito di Luca Molinari 70 architetti italiani hanno dato una loro libera interpretazione dell'enigma spaziale prefigurato da Dante. Le tavole sono oggetto di una mostra tenuta allo Spazio FMG di Milano, alla Reggia di Caserta ed a Foligno.

Modern Impressionist or Idyllic Genre Painter? Zorn’s European Fame from an Italian Perspective
2013
This article examines Zorn's international fame (France, Germany) and then focuses on the Swedish painter's controversial reception in Italian media (Vittorio Pica, Ardengo Soffici).
Peptides of the Constant Region of Antibodies Display Fungicidal Activity
2012
Synthetic peptides with sequences identical to fragments of the constant region of different classes (IgG, IgM, IgA) of antibodies (Fc-peptides) exerted a fungicidal activity in vitro against pathogenic yeasts, such as Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Malassezia furfur, including caspofungin and triazole resistant strains. Alanine-substituted derivatives of fungicidal Fc-peptides, tested to evaluate the critical role of each residue, displayed unaltered, increased or decreased candidacidal activity in vitro. An Fc-peptide, included in all human IgGs, displayed a therapeutic effect against experimental mucosal and systemic candidiasis in mouse models. It is in…
Expression Patterns and Subcellular Localization of Carbonic Anhydrases Are Developmentally Regulated during Tooth Formation
2014
Abstract Carbonic anhydrases (CAs) play fundamental roles in several physiological events, and emerging evidence points at their involvement in an array of disorders, including cancer. The expression of CAs in the different cells of teeth is unknown, let alone their expression patterns during odontogenesis. As a first step towards understanding the role of CAs during odontogenesis, we used immunohistochemistry, histochemistry and in situ hybridization to reveal hitherto unknown dynamic distribution patterns of eight CAs in mice. The most salient findings include expression of CAII/Car2 not only in maturation-stage ameloblasts (MA) but also in the papillary layer, dental papilla mesenchyme, …
A Robust Generic Method for Grid Detection in White Light Microscopy Malassez Blade Images in the Context of Cell Counting
2015
AbstractIn biology, cell counting is a primary measurement and it is usually performed manually using hemocytometers such as Malassez blades. This work is tedious and can be automated using image processing. An algorithm based on Fourier transform filtering and the Hough transform was developed for Malassez blade grid extraction. This facilitates cell segmentation and counting within the grid. For the present work, a set of 137 images with high variability was processed. Grids were accurately detected in 98% of these images.
Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Periodontal Regeneration Using a Porous Collagen Scaffold.
2021
(1) Aim: To immunohistochemically evaluate the effect of a volume-stable collagen scaffold (VCMX) on periodontal regeneration. (2) Methods: In eight beagle dogs, acute two-wall intrabony defects were treated with open flap debridement either with VCMX (test) or without (control). After 12 weeks, eight defects out of four animals were processed for paraffin histology and immunohistochemistry. (3) Results: All defects (four test + four control) revealed periodontal regeneration with cementum and bone formation. VCMX remnants were integrated in bone, periodontal ligament (PDL), and cementum. No differences in immunohistochemical labeling patterns were observed between test and control sites. N…
