The importance of our inner microbial communities for proper immune responses against invading pathogens is now well accepted, but the mechanisms underlying this protection are largely unknown. In study, we used Caenorhabditis elegans to investigate such mechanisms. Since very little known about microbes interacting with C. in its natural environment, began by taking first steps characterize microbiota. We established a natural-like environment which initially germfree, wild-type larvae were...
Background: Iron ions affect the expression of outer membrane protein A (OmpA), a major pathogenic in Acinetobacter baumannii. Objective: To analyze effect iron on OmpA A. baumannii and explore its association with virulence OmpA. Methods: Site-directed mutagenesis was used to construct ompA gene deletion strains repair strains. The under culture different contents detected. levels were evaluated macrophages mice. Results: three enhanced iron-rich conditions. They reduced presence...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> Visualization of the extracranial trigeminal nerve is crucial to detect pathologic alterations. This study aimed evaluate visualization using 3D inversion recovery TSE with an improved motion-sensitized driven equilibrium (iMSDE) pulse. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> In this prospective study, 35 subjects underwent imaging conventional TSE, iMSDE pulse, and contrast-enhanced TSE. The visibility 7 branches nerve, venous/muscle suppression, identification...
To evaluate the reliability of 3T MRI nerve-bone fusion in assessing lingual nerve (LN) and its anatomical relationship to cortical plate prior impacted mandibular third molar (IMTM) extraction. The bone sequences used this study were 3D T2-weighted fast field echo (3D-T2-FFE) resembling a CT using restricted echo-spacing (FRACTURE), respectively. Both performed 25 subjects, resulting 3D-T2-FFE/FRACTURE images assessed by 2 independent observers. Semi-quantitative analyses included...
