Summary: Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a cytoprotective enzyme that controls inflammatory responses and redox homeostasis; however, its role during pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) remains unclear.Using freshly resected human TB lung tissue, we examined the role of HO-1 within the cellular and pathological spectrum of TB.Flow cytometry and histopathologica
Cathodic protection of precast, prestressed multistory car park slabs, using a surface applied galvanic zinc layer anode
A surface applied galvanic Zinc Layer Anode (ZLA) system was installed on a multistory carpark structure to provide cathodic protection to the soffits of the prestressed hollow concrete slabs, which were suffering from chloride induced corrosion deterioration.This paper evaluates the cathodic protection system performance against the international
