Article Synopsis
  • Previous research indicates that the intracellular complement system, particularly the molecule CD46, plays a role in regulating the Th1 immune response which produces IFN-γ and can shift to a regulatory response marked by IL-10 in some autoimmune diseases, influenced by calcitriol (vitamin D).
  • The study aimed to investigate if calcitriol affects the CD46-driven Th1 response in patients with allergic eosinophilic asthma (AEA), focusing on its potential to reduce inflammation.
  • Results showed that CD4 T cells from AEA patients had higher CD46 expression, which varied with pollen exposure; calcitriol treatments promoted the development of regulatory Tr1 cells and significantly reduced IFN-γ while increasing IL-10 production,

Background: Respiratory allergies mostly allergic rhinitis and asthma represent an important and increasing public health problem and one of the priorities for the European health systems. There is an increasing public concern regarding the persistence and severity of allergic diseases and many difficulties of health systems in providing prompt specialized medical assistance. Our study aims to highlight the main results of the Alliance 4Life project focused on the evaluation of the burden and management of respiratory allergies in primary care from Romania and comparative health-related data from four Central and Eastern European countries.

This article presents a comprehensive system for testing and verifying shunt active power filter control methods. The aim of this experimental platform is to provide tools to a user to objectively compare the individual control methods. The functionality of the system was verified on a hardware platform using least mean squares and recursive least squares algorithms.

The field of advanced digital signal processing methods is one of the fastest developing scientific and technical disciplines, and is important in the field of Shunt Active Power Filter control methods. Shunt active power filters are highly desirable to minimize losses due to the increase in the number of nonlinear loads (deformed power). Currently, there is rapid development in new adaptive, non-adaptive, and especially hybrid methods of digital signal processing.

This study focuses on the design of a measuring system for monitoring the power quality within the SMART street lighting test polygon at university campuses with relation to testing an adaptive current control strategy for three-phase shunt active power filters. Unlike conventional street lighting, SMART elements are powered 24/7. Due to the electronic character of the power part of such mass appliances, there are increased problems with the power quality of the electric energy.
