THE EFFECTS OF 'PROFETAL' PREPARATION UPON FUNCTIONAL ACTIVITY OF HUMAN MONONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES AND DENDRITIC CELLS by V. A. Chereshnev, O. V. Lebedinskaya, C. Yu. Rodionov, N. K. Ahmatova, I. Zh. Shubina, E. A. Lebedinskaya, T. V. Gavrilova, M. V. Kisselevsky

“…The effects of 'Profetal', a drug containing liophylized, dextran-stabilized human alpha-fetoprotein as main active component, were investigated on peripheral donor blood mononuclear leukocytes (ML), with respect to their functional properties and the potential to generate mature dendritic cells (DC).Addition of the drug to cell cultures at optimal doses was shown to cause significant increase in their proliferative capacity and ML blastic transformation levels, and enhanced cytotoxicity towards K562 tumor cells, as well as to induce maturation of antigen-presenting dendritic cells.On the basis of the data obtained, a conclusion is made that 'Profetal' is an active immunomodulatory factor, and it may be applied for generation of cytotoxic lymphocytes and mature DC, aiming to apply them for the biotherapy of oncological and infectious diseases.…”

Experimental and numerical studies on the cantilevered leg joint and its reinforced version commonly used in modern wood furniture by Bingrui Chen, Xiujiao Yu, Wengang Hu

“…A novel joint was proposed and compared with the typical joint commonly used in the cantilevered leg. Both of them were made of beech wood (Fagus orientalis Lipsky). The experimental results showed that the bending moment capacity of the novel joint was remarkably higher than the typical joints, which confirmed that the novel structure had a better mechanical performance. …”

Study on Emission and Performance of Diesel Engine Using Castor Biodiesel by Md. Saiful Islam, Abu Saleh Ahmed, Aminul Islam, Sidek Abdul Aziz, Low Chyi Xian, Moniruzzaman Mridha

“…Diesel engine performance test indicated that the specific fuel consumption of biodiesel blend was increased sufficiently when the blending ratio was optimized. Thus, the reduction in exhaust emissions and reduction in brake-specific fuel consumption made the blends of caster seed oil (B20) a suitable alternative fuel for diesel and could help in controlling air pollution.…”

Modeling of Acoustic Coupling of Ultrasonic Probes for High-Speed Rail Track Inspection by Sławomir MACKIEWICZ, Zbigniew RANACHOWSKI, Tomasz KATZ, Tomasz DĘBOWSKI, Grzegorz STARZYŃSKI, Przemysław RANACHOWSKI

“…The predictions of the model were confirmed by coupling losses measurements for a normal beam longitudinal wave probe with a delay line made of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). The developed model can be useful in designing ultrasonic probes for high-speed rail track inspections, especially for establishing the optimal thickness of the water coupling layer and estimation of coupling losses, due to inevitable changes of the water gap during mobile rail inspection.…”
