Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Complement component C5a Promotes Expression of IL-22 and IL-17 from Human T cells and its Implication in Age-related Macular Degeneration

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2011
Background Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in elderly populations worldwide. Inflammation, among many factors, has been suggested to play an important role in AMD pathogenesis.

Nanomedicine applications in lymphoma: Advancing precision diagnostics, targeted therapeutics, and prospective developments

VIEW, EarlyView.
Lymphoma is a group of blood cancers that can appear in lymph nodes, blood, bone marrow, spleen, liver, or the central nervous system, which makes drug delivery and disease monitoring difficult. This review summarizes how nanomedicine technologies may improve targeted treatment and imaging, while carefully separating approved or guideline‐supported ...

Complement factors C3a and C5a mimick a proinflammatory microenvironment and increase HBV IGRA sensitivity

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2019
Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections represent a global health problem and chronic hepatitis B (CHB) leads to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Thus, timely diagnosis of hepatitis B is crucial to ensure adequate treatment.

IL‐33 Drives Inflammatory Changes and Extracellular Trap Formation in Eosinophils Involving Oxidised LDL and Complement Pathways

Allergy, EarlyView.
IL‐33 induces inflammatory gene signatures in eosinophils, characterised by the upregulation of cell surface markers, inflammatory mediators and regulatory factors, all of which were also observed in nasal polyp‐derived eosinophils. Ox‐LDL and complement fragments (C3a and C5a) promote eosinophil adhesion and survival.

Complement factor C5a and C5a receptor contribute to morphine tolerance and withdrawal-induced hyperalgesia in rats

Experimental and Therapeutic Medicine, 2012
Morphine is a potent opioid analgesic. However, the repeated use of morphine causes tolerance and hyperalgesia. Neuroinflammation has been reported to be involved in morphine tolerance and withdrawal-induced hyperalgesia. The complement system is a crucial effector mechanism of immune responses.

Structural insights into tyrosine sulfation of CCR5 by human tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase‐1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Structural analysis of human tyrosylprotein sulfotransferase‐1 (hTPST1) bound to a CCR5 N‐terminal peptide reveals how hTPST1 recognizes the Tyr3 sulfation site. Structure‐guided models of additional CCR5 sulfation states and full‐length assemblies provide a framework for understanding CCR5 tyrosine sulfation, a post‐translational modification relevant

Complement 3a and Complement 5a as Biochemical Markers in Diabetic Nephropathy [PDF]

International Journal of Medical Arts
Background: Diabetes mellitus [DM] is growing into a global epidemic and diabetic nephropathy [DN] is one of its most feared complications. Inflammation is an important mechanism in the pathogenesis of DN and many studies have pointed to anaphylatoxins ...

CH50 as a Clinically Useful Biomarker of Disease Activity and Antihistamine Resistance in Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria: An Observational Ambispective Single‐Center Study

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
Personalized CSU care guided by CH50. ABSTRACT Background Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is frequently refractory to guideline‐based therapy, highlighting the need for predictive biomarkers. Dysregulation of the complement system has been implicated in CSU severity, but global complement activity has not been systematically evaluated.
