Decreased HHV-6 IgG in Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology, 2017
Human herpesviruses have previously been implicated in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) but whether they are causal, facilitating, or confounding factors is yet to be established. A total of 50 AD subjects and 52 non-demented (ND) controls were analyzed in a multiplex assay for IgG reactivity toward herpes simplex virus (HSV), varicella ...

Development and application of HHV-6 antigen capture assay for the detection of HHV-6 infections

Journal of Virological Methods, 1996
An HHV-6 antigen capture assay measuring gp116/64/54 antigen was developed. This ELISA is specific for HHV-6 Variants A and B, does not cross react with other human herpesviruses, is sensitive, stable, quantitative, and can detect antigen in body fluids and cell cultures.

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*

Xenotransplantation, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...

Immune response to HHV-6 and implications for immunotherapy [PDF]

Current Opinion in Virology, 2014
Most adults remain chronically infected with HHV-6 after resolution of a primary infection in childhood, with the latent virus held in check by the immune system. Iatrogenic immunosuppression following solid organ transplantation (SOT) or hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can allow latent viruses to reactivate.

Expert Perspective: Diagnosis and Treatment of Castleman Disease

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Summary Castleman disease (CD) is a major diagnostic challenge for Rheumatologists. Unicentric CD (UCD) involves one enlarged lymph node region whereas multicentric CD (MCD) involves multiple enlarged lymph node regions. Both UCD and MCD may exhibit a wide range of symptoms that overlap with other immune‐mediated conditions.

Strategic techniques for upgrading bio‐oil from fast pyrolysis: a critical review

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Pyrolysis has been the subject of extensive scientific research due to its potential application to various waste streams and byproducts from different production systems. One of its main products is the liquid fraction known as bio‐oil – a complex material composed of a wide variety of organic molecules and a significant water content.

Review of recent advances in the design, synthesis, and modification of biochar for remediation of heavy metal pollution in water

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Research frontiers in using biochar for heavy metal remediation. Abstract Heavy metal contamination of water has long been a serious environmental issue. Biochar and biochar‐based composites are emerging as effective and sustainable solutions for heavy metal removal due to their strong adsorption abilities and environmentally friendly nature.

Chemical Feedstock Recovery through Plastic Pyrolysis: Challenges and Perspectives toward a Circular Economy

ChemSusChem, Accepted Article.
Plastics are indispensable in daily life, with both production and waste generation increasing annually. As the world strives for net‐zero emissions, advancing plastic recycling technologies has become a global priority. Pyrolytic liquefaction is a promising approach for recovering chemical feedstocks, including fuel fractions, from waste plastics ...

Evaluating the sensitivity of surrogate optimization target properties characterizing droplet formation, evaporation, and chemical reactions to biodiesel composition reduction

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.
Abstract Liquid fuels contain a large number of components. However, it is not computationally feasible to implement the detailed composition into numerical solvers in combustion chamber design. Surrogate mixtures are used to facilitate calculations, which can reproduce the fuel characteristics with fewer components providing reasonable accuracy ...

Effect of Low‐Temperature Torrefaction Pretreatment on the Energy–Mass Co‐Benefit of Corn Straws

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
The quality regulation of corn straws. ABSTRACT To explore the effects of low‐temperature torrefaction on physicochemical properties and energy–mass co‐benefit of corn straws, the products obtained after torrefaction at different low temperatures were studied.
