Hierarchically Rough rGO/HAp Nanocoatings on SLM Ti–6Al–4 V Implants for Enhanced Biointegration

Small, EarlyView.
This study investigates HAp/rGO bioactive coatings on Ti‐6Al‐4V fixation implants fabricated by selective laser melting with systematically varied volumetric energy density to tailor the as‐built surface state. Composite coatings were deposited by electrophoretic deposition and characterized using micro‐CT, profilometry, FESEM/EDS, and detailed XPS to ...

Fixing Ill‐Formed UTF‐16 Strings With SIMD Instructions

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background We must fix ill‐formed UTF‐16 strings, where surrogate pairs are mismatched. Programming languages such as JavaScript provide functions that replace mismatched surrogates with the Unicode replacement character (U + FFFD). Objectives We seek to accelerate the correction of ill‐formed UTF‐16 strings.

Involvement of PU.1 in Mast Cell/Basophil-Specific Function of the Human IL1RL1/ST2 Promoter

Allergology International, 2012
Background: The human IL1RL1/ST2 gene encodes IL33 receptor. Recently, IL33 has been recognized as a key molecule for the development of Th2 response. Although mast cells and basophils are major targets of IL33 and play important roles in IL33-mediated ...

ST2 and Galectin-3: Ready for Prime Time?

EJIFCC, 2016
ST2 and galectin-3 are emerging biomarkers in the field of heart failure and have been extensively studied, and that whether they provide additional prognostic value on top of the clinical models and the gold standard in HF, (NT-pro)BNP. Our aim was to provide a comprehensive review of these emerging HF-related biomarkers in chronic, acute and incident

ST2 and IL-33 in Pregnancy and Pre-Eclampsia

PLoS ONE, 2011
Normal pregnancy is associated with a mild systemic inflammatory response and an immune bias towards type 2 cytokine production, whereas pre-eclampsia is characterized by a more intense inflammatory response, associated with endothelial dysfunction and a type 1 cytokine dominance.

A method for determining the performance of formulas for calculating the crack width and spacing in reinforced concrete elements

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Numerous studies have been conducted to determine the performance of formulas for calculating crack width and spacing in reinforced concrete structures. Generally, these studies pay limited attention to the application areas of those formulas and how to compare different representations of the crack width and spacing.

Staphylococcus epidermidis ST2 strains associated with bloodstream infections contain a unique mobile genetic element encoding a plasmin inhibitor

mBio
Staphylococcus epidermidis, a common commensal bacterium, is a leading cause of nosocomial catheter-associated bloodstream infections. S. epidermidis sequence type 2 (ST2) is specifically recognized globally for causing invasive disease.

Porcine circovirus 2 vaccination timing was not associated with piglets’ serological response

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The development of immunity in pigs starts in utero, but piglets are born immunologically immature and rely on maternal antibodies. Weaning exposes piglets to multiple stressors, yet vaccination is commonly performed around weaning.

Lesion Diameter Versus Inflammatory Biomarkers and Clinical Severity in Predicting Treatment Selection in Idiopathic Granulomatous Mastitis

World Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Idiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM) is a rare chronic inflammatory breast disease with no established predictor to guide medical versus surgical treatment. Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) have been proposed, but prior reports rarely adjusted for lesion morphology or other markers of disease severity.
