The sensitivity to the UV lights is generally depending on the three kinds of the skin type classified by the proposal of Pathak etal. [1]. The skin sensitivity of Japanese population, however, seems to be different from that of Caucasian's population because of the differences in genetic ...
The CO2 threshold of the eyes may be of value in the evaluation of hypersensitivity to indoor air pollution. Furthermore, the threshold may be used to assess important relationships between the different trigeminal innervated areas, e.g., skin and eyes. Finally, the method has the advantage of...
Objective To describe the differences between allergic rhinitis(AR) and nonallergic rhinitis(NAR).Methods The differences between AR and NAR were assessed using disease survey,skin prick test(SPT),nasal smear and serum total IgE,in 1647 patients with rhinitis.Results A total of 72.4% of the subj...
touch is the main medium for perceiving and interacting the external information [1,2,3,4,5].In recent years, the preparation of electronic skin (e-skin) based on the mechanical sensitive materials has been widely concerned in order to simulate the excellent function of human skin in tactile...
Pyroptosis is a kind of programmed cell death triggered by the inflammasome. Growing evidence has revealed the crucial utility of pyroptosis in tumors. However, the potential mechanism of pyroptosis in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is still unc
Characterization of temperature and thermal transport properties of the skin can yield important information of relevance to both clinical medicine and basic research in skin physiology. Here we introduce an ultrathin, compliant skin-like, or ‘epidermal
To elucidate characteristics of cockroach asthma, we analyzed 592 consecutive urban Chicago asthmatic patients retrospectively. Allergy skin testing (AST) with common inhalants, serum total IgE, and cockroach-specific IgE (IgE-CR) antibodies were measured. Some cockroach asthmatics were studied further...
These findings indicate that some components of hair fibrous proteins are immunologically specific to hair cells, whereas others broadly crossreacted with the fibrous proteins of other skin epithelial cells or with those of various epithelial cells. The anti-hair keratin monoclonal antibodies seem ...
often presents as urogenital infections, bacteremia, skin and soft tissue, joint or bone infection, or pneumonia6. The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) is the major virulence factor conferring anti-phagocytic properties of GBS. Based on the CPS composition, GBS has been classified into 10 distinct se...
Because of its small thermal capacity (sensing element: 200nm thick /10μm wide) and effective thermal isolation, this sensor was very sensitive (at 5V input, ΔT: 270°C /0.1μs). Characteristics of the sensor (silicon and PI film-based) were introduced, and the sensing principle was ...
