Factors associated with spontaneous clearance of chronic hepatitis C virus infection [PDF]

, 2016
Background & Aims: Spontaneous clearance of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection (CHC) is rare. We conducted a retrospective case-control study to identify rates and factors associated with spontaneous clearance of CHC.

Redistributive land reforms, agricultural productivity, and structural change: New cross‐national evidence

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Large‐scale land reforms constitute a substantial redistribution of wealth and reallocation of agricultural land, which is a major form of asset and production input in developing countries. While land redistribution (from the rich to the poor) remains a highly controversial issue, extensive evidence on its effect is limited.

Probiotic Modulation of Innate Cell Pathogen Sensing and Signaling Events. [PDF]

, 2017
There is a growing body of evidence documenting probiotic bacteria to have a beneficial effect to the host through their ability to modulate the mucosal immune system. Many probiotic bacteria can be considered to act as either immune activators or immune

Mapping quantitative trait loci underlying body weight changes that act at different times during high‐fat diet challenge in collaborative cross mice

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Over one billion people worldwide suffer from obesity, and the number is continually rising. Animal models, especially mouse models, are crucial to identifying the genetic components of complex disorders and exploring the potential applications of these genetic findings.

Macrophage Subset Sensitivity to Endotoxin Tolerisation by Porphyromonas gingivalis [PDF]

, 2013
Macrophages (MΦs) determine oral mucosal responses; mediating tolerance to commensal microbes and food whilst maintaining the capacity to activate immune defences to pathogens.

Emerging role of endosomal toll-like receptors in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]

, 2014
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and their downstream signaling pathways have been comprehensively characterized in innate immunity. In addition to this function, these receptors have also been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of many autoimmune ...

Induction of IRAK-M Is Associated with Lipopolysaccharide Tolerance in a Human Endotoxemia Model [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2007
Abstract Recent in vitro and murine in vivo studies have identified several potential LPS tolerance factors. In this study, we describe the expression kinetics of these LPS tolerance factors in standardized human endotoxemia models using i.v. LPS bolus administration.

Experimental Investigation of Microbubble Evolution in the Liquivac Multiphase Flow Pump

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper aims to experimentally investigate the mechanisms of microbubble characteristics evolution within an axial pump. The findings will aid in assessing the pump performance by identifying the range of bubble sizes and comparing them with the threshold size (< 300 μm). This study also provides evidence supporting the use of such pumps as

Immunomodulatory Molecule IRAK-M Balances Macrophage Polarization and Determines Macrophage Responses during Renal Fibrosis [PDF]

The Journal of Immunology, 2017
Abstract Activation of various innate immune receptors results in IL-1 receptor–associated kinase (IRAK)-1/IRAK-4–mediated signaling and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-12, IL-6, or TNF-α, all of which are implicated in tissue injury and elevated during tissue remodeling processes.

Methane Generation Using an Anaerobic Biodigester From Waste Leachate Water

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Leachate wastewater (LWW) is characterized by slow biodegradation and low biogas production due to resistant materials and limited biological activity. Therefore, applying pretreatments is essential to improving biodegradation potential, which consequently boosts energy recovery.
