Low heterozygosity for rs3811050, a 5 prime untranslated region variant of the gene encoding interleukin-38 (IL1F10), is associated with a reduced risk of systemic lupus erythematosus
...Show More Authors
Abstract<sec> <title>Background

Interleukin-38 (IL-38), an inflammatory cytokine discovered in recent years, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). IL-38 is encoded by the IL1F10 (interleukin 1 family member 10) gene. Genetic variants of this gene have been associated with susceptibility to a number of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, while their association with SLE risk has not been explored. In this case–control study, two novel variants of the 5 prime untranslated region (5′UTR) of the IL1F10 gene, rs3811050 C/T and rs3811051 T/G, were investigated in 120 women with SLE and 120 age-matched control women. The TaqMan allelic discrimination assay was used for genotyping of rs3811050 and rs3811051.

Results

The frequency of the rs3811050 CT genotype was significantly lower in SLE patients compared to controls (30.8 vs. 50.0%; odds ratio = 0.49; 95% confidence interval = 0.28–0.86; corrected probability = 0.045). The rs3811051 genotype frequencies did not show significant differences between patients and controls. Rs3811050 and rs3811051 showed weak linkage disequilibrium (LD) as indicated by the estimated LD coefficient and correlation coefficient values (0.32 and 0.05, respectively), and two-locus haplotype analysis revealed no significant differences between patients and controls. The frequencies of the rs3811050 T allele (38.8 vs. 20.6%; probability = 0.029) and the rs3811051 G allele (56.3 vs. 38.2%; probability = 0.038) were significantly higher in patients with mild/moderate disease activity than in patients with high disease activity, but significance was not maintained after applying Bonferroni correction (corrected probability = 0.058 and 0.076, respectively). Serum IL-38 concentrations (median and interquartile range) were significantly decreased in patients compared with controls (69.5 [64.1–74.8] vs. 73.5 [66.1–82.9] pg/mL; probability = 0.03), but were not influenced by SNP genotypes.

Conclusions

The heterozygous genotype of rs3811050, a 5'UTR variant, of the IL-38 encoding gene, IL1F10, is associated with a reduced risk of SLE among women. Furthermore, the rs3811050 T and rs3811051 G alleles may influence disease activity. In addition, serum IL-38 concentrations were down-regulated in SLE patients but were not affected by the rs3811050 and rs3811051 genotypes.

Experimental Behavior of One-Way RC Ultra-Thin Slabs Retrofitted with Post-Installed NSM CFRP Rods
...Show More Authors

This study evaluates the flexural behavior of ultra-thin (50 mm) one‑way reinforced‑concrete (RC) slabs retrofitted with near‑surface mounted (NSM) carbon‑fiber‑reinforced polymer (CFRP) rods under quasi‑static loading. T300‑grade CFRP rods (≈4 mm diameter) were bonded in pre‑cut 7 mm × 7 mm grooves using a two‑part epoxy. As a proof-of-concept experimental baseline, three simply‑supported specimens (1000 mm × 500 mm × 50 mm) were tested in a six‑point bending configuration (four applied loads + two reactions): two conventional controls and one strengthened slab. A load‑control rate of ~15 kN/min was applied; the controls were cycled twice and the strengthened slab four times. Relative to the average of

Abstract<p>In this research, The effect of substituting sucrose with different level of DS and DG (0, 25, 30,50,70 and 100%) on the physiochemical, microbial and sensory properties of cake were studied. Cake models were as well construed for microbial content and organic structure during, before then next 35 days storing at experimental temperature. Results showed no significant variances (p < 0.01) in the chemo physical structure of the date and grape test cake for protein values while there were significant differences for Asch, fiber and fat content values, Sensory assessment results showed high significant variance (p < 0.01) among the cake trials with the exemption of texture (6.04-6.</p> ...

Strength and Serviceability of Reinforced Concrete Deep Beams with Large Web Openings Created in Shear Spans
...Show More Authors

Deep beams are used in wide construction fields such as water tanks, foundations, and girders in multi-story buildings to provide certain areas free of columns. In practice it is quite often occurring to create web opening in deep beams to supply convenient passage of ventilation ducts, cable channels, gas and water pipes. Experimental studies of ten 10 deep beams were carried out, where two of them are control specimens without openings and eight with large web openings in the shear spans. The variables that have been adopted are the ratio of the shear span to the overall depth of the member cross-section, location and dimensions of the opening. Test results showed that there was a decrease in the load carrying capacity of deep bea

Recovery of methyl orange from aqueous solutions by bulk liquid membrane process facilitated with anionic carrier
...Show More Authors

Dyes are extensively water-soluble and toxic chemicals. The disposing of wastewater rich with such chemicals has severely impacted surface water quality (rivers and lakes). In the current study, an anionic dye, methyl orange, were extracted from wastewater fluids using bulk liquid membranes supplemented with an anionic carrier (Aliquat 336 (QCI)). Parameters including solvent type (carbon tetrachloride and chloroform), membrane stirring speed (100-250 rpm), mixing speed of both phases (50-100 rpm), The feed pH (2-12) and implemented temperature (35-60 °C) were thoroughly analyzed to determine the effect of such variables on extraction effectiveness. Furthermore, the effect of methyl orange (10-50 ppm) in the feed stage and NaOH (0
