Dynamics of Acute Inflammation [PDF]

arXiv, 2004
When the body is infected, it mounts an acute inflammatory response to rid itself of the pathogens and restore health. Uncontrolled acute inflammation due to infection is defined clinically as Sepsis and can culminate in organ failure and death. We consider a three dimensional ordinary differential equation model of inflammation consisting of a ...

SARS-CoV-2 mortality in blacks and temperature-sensitivity to an angiotensin-2 receptor blocker [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Tropical climates provoke adaptations in skin pigmentation and in mechanisms controlling the volume, salt-content and pressure of body fluids. For many whose distant ancestors moved to temperate climes, these adaptations proved harmful: pigmentation decreased by natural selection and susceptibility to hypertension emerged.

JointNET: A Deep Model for Predicting Active Sacroiliitis from Sacroiliac Joint Radiography [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
Purpose: To develop a deep learning model that predicts active inflammation from sacroiliac joint radiographs and to compare the success with radiologists. Materials and Methods: A total of 1,537 (augmented 1752) grade 0 SIJs of 768 patients were retrospectively analyzed.

Cytokines and chemokines as regulators of skeletal muscle inflammation: presenting the case of Duchenne muscular dystrophy [PDF]

, 2013
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe inherited muscle disease that affects 1 in 3500 boys worldwide. Infiltration of skeletal muscle by inflammatory cells is an important facet of disease pathophysiology and is strongly associated with disease ...

The apo LETM1 F‐EF‐hand adopts a closed conformation that underlies a multi‐modal sensory role in mitochondria

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present the first solution structure of the Ca2+‐depleted LETM1 F‐EF‐hand through a D676A/N678A Ca2+ binding‐deficient mutant, revealing a closed hydrophobic cleft caused by a unique F1‐helix pivot. The apo LETM1 F‐EF‐hand exhibits regiospecific hot and cold unfolding, sensitivity to physiological pH changes and potential for promiscuous heterotypic

Obesity = inflammation. Pathogenesis. How does this threaten men?

Медицинский вестник Юга России, 2020
Today, adipose tissue has ceased to be perceived only as an energetic substance with its intrinsic properties in the form of thermoregulation and mechanical protection, known since the beginning of the twentieth century.

Volume of hyperintense inflammation (VHI): a deep learning-enabled quantitative imaging biomarker of inflammation load in spondyloarthritis [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Short inversion time inversion recovery (STIR) MRI is widely used in clinical practice to identify and quantify inflammation in axial spondyloarthritis. However, assessment of STIR images is limited by the need for qualitative evaluation, which depends on observer experience and expertise, creating substantial variability in inflammation assessments ...

Insertion of the FeB cofactor in cNORs lacking metal inserting chaperones

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nitric oxide reductase is an enzyme found in the bacterial denitrification pathway. The NOR active site contains a non‐heme iron, often, but not always inserted with the assistance of chaperones. Here, we study the insertion of FeB in the subfamily of cNORs lacking chaperones and found a putative channel, conserved in the family, perhaps enabling the ...

Directed Non-Targeted Mass Spectrometry and Chemical Networking for Discovery of Eicosanoids [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Eicosanoids and related species are critical, small bioactive mediators of human physiology and inflammation. While ~1100 distinct eicosanoids have been predicted to exist, to date, less than 150 of these molecules have been measured in humans, limiting our understanding of eicosanoids and their role in human biology. Using a directed non-targeted mass

Neuroinflammation, Mast Cells, and Glia: Dangerous Liaisons [PDF]

, 2017
The perspective of neuroinflammation as an epiphenomenon following neuron damage is being replaced by the awareness of glia and their importance in neural functions and disorders.
