Effect of Proinflammatory Cytokines on the Interplay between Roxithromycin, HMR 3647, or HMR 3004 and Human Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils [PDF]
ABSTRACTCytokines, the hallmarks of infectious and inflammatory diseases, modify phagocyte activities and thus may interfere with the immunomodulating properties of antibacterial agents. We have investigated whether various proinflammatory cytokines (interleukin 1 [IL-1], IL-6, IL-8, gamma interferon, tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α], and ...

HIV gp120 binds to mannose receptor on vaginal epithelial cells and induces production of matrix metalloproteinases. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: During sexual transmission of HIV in women, the virus breaches the multi-layered CD4 negative stratified squamous epithelial barrier of the vagina, to infect the sub-epithelial CD4 positive immune cells.

Restricting the nonlinearity parameter in soil greenhouse gas flux calculation for more reliable flux estimates [PDF]
The static chamber approach is often used for greenhouse gas (GHG) flux measurements, whereby the flux is deduced from the increase of species concentration after closing the chamber.

Water absorption and salt attack resistance of coal ash brick made of different percentage of foam content [PDF]
Coal ash which constitute of fly ash and bottom ash were proved to be used as main component in brick production. However, published work on the coal ash brick with addition of foam in order to produce lightweight brick is still lacking. This thesis

Bronchopulmonary Disposition of the Ketolide Telithromycin (HMR 3647) [PDF]
ABSTRACT Telithromycin (HMR 3647) is the first member of a new family of antimicrobials, the ketolides, developed specifically for the treatment of community-acquired respiratory tract infections. Telithromycin has proven in vitro activity against both common and atypical respiratory tract pathogens.

Phytochrome activates the plastid-encoded RNA polymerase for chloroplast biogenesis via nucleus-to-plastid signaling. [PDF]
Light initiates chloroplast biogenesis by activating photosynthesis-associated genes encoded by not only the nuclear but also the plastidial genome, but how photoreceptors control plastidial gene expression remains enigmatic.

In vitro activity of ketolides HMR 3004 and HMR 3647 and seven other antimicrobial agents against Corynebacterium diphtheriae [PDF]
The in vitro activities of two ketolides, HMR 3004 and HMR 3647 (telithromycin), and the comparator agents erythromycin A, azithromycin, clarithromycin, roxithromycin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin and penicillin G were determined by an agar dilution method against 410 isolates of Corynebacterium diphtheriae.

We propose a position control method for a helical magnetic robot (HMR) that uses the rotating frequency of the external rotating magnetic field (ERMF) to minimize the position fluctuation of the HMR caused by pulsatile flow in human blood vessels.

Hodge modules on complex tori and generic vanishing for compact K\"ahler manifolds [PDF]
We extend the results of generic vanishing theory to polarizable real Hodge modules on compact complex tori, and from there to arbitrary compact K\"ahler manifolds. As applications, we obtain a bimeromorphic characterization of compact complex tori among
