We introduce twist-two quark interference fragmentation functions in helicity density matrix formalism and study their physical implications. show how the nucleon's transversity distribution can be probed through final state interaction between two mesons ( ${\ensuremath{\pi}}^{+}{\ensuremath{\pi}}^{\ensuremath{-}}$, $K\overline{K}$, or $\ensuremath{\pi}K$) produced current region deep inelastic scattering on a transversely polarized nucleon.
The gut microbiota plays an important role in parasite-host interactions and the induction of immune defense responses. Trichinella spiralis is zoonotic parasite that can directly or indirectly interact with host gut. Changes following infection T. against were investigated our study. 16S rRNA sequencing analysis revealed reduce diversity alter structure during early infection, which was restored when worm left Antibiotic treatment (ABX) fecal bacterial transplantation (FMT) used to...
ABSTRACT Hyperactivation of pro-inflammatory type 1 cytokines (e.g., tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α] and interferon gamma [IFN-γ]) mirrors the inflammation coronavirus disease 2019. Helminths could alleviate excessive immune responses. Here, helminth Trichinella spiralis (Ts) infection was shown to protect against TNF-α- IFN-γ-induced shock. Mechanistically, Ts-induced protection interleukin-9 (IL-9) dependent but not IL-4Rα. Recombinant IL-9 treatment only improved survival wild-type...
A correlator of QCD interpolating fields for the nucleon is evaluated in nuclear matter by applying an operator product expansion. All density dependence incorporated into composite matrix elements (condensates) taken ground state. The in-medium condensates up to dimension five are estimated first order density. key phenomenological inputs used determining quark and gluon four \ensuremath{\sigma} term, strangeness content nucleon, distribution functions deduced from deep-inelastic scattering...
The quark-meson coupling model for nuclear matter, which describes matter as nonoverlapping MIT bags bound by the self-consistent exchange of scalar and vector mesons, is modified introducing medium modification bag constant. We density dependence constant in two different ways: One invokes a direct to meson field, other relates in-medium nucleon mass. Both models feature decreasing with increasing density. find that when significantly reduced respect its free-space value, large canceling...
The self-energies of quasinucleon states in nuclear matter are investigated using a finite-density QCD sum-rule approach developed previously. sum rules obtained for general interpolating field the nucleon. key phenomenological inputs nucleon \ensuremath{\sigma} term, strangeness content nucleon, and quark gluon distribution functions deduced from deep-inelastic scattering. emphasis is on testing sensitivity stability predictions to variations condensates other input parameters. At...
QCD sum rules for vector mesons (\ensuremath{\rho}, \ensuremath{\omega}, \ensuremath{\varphi}) in nuclear matter are reexamined with an emphasis on the reliability of various rules. Monitoring continuum contribution and convergence operator product expansion plays a crucial role determining validity rule. The uncertainties arising from less than precise knowledge condensate values other input parameters analyzed via Monte Carlo error analysis. Our analysis leaves no doubt that vector-meson...
ABSTRACT Leptospirosis, caused by pathogenic spirochetes, is a zoonotic disease of global importance. The detailed pathogenesis leptospirosis still unclear, which limits the ideal treatment leptospirosis. In this study, we analyzed expression Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) and TLR4 in target organs both resistant mice susceptible hamsters after Leptospira interrogans serovar Autumnalis infection. TLR2 but not transcripts mouse contrasted with delayed induction overexpression hamster organs....
We describe an in-scene method for VNIR-SWIR atmospheric correction multi- and hyperspectral imagery, dubbed QUAC (QUick Atmospheric Correction). It determines the compensation parameters directly from information contained within scene using observed pixel spectra. The approach is based on empirical finding that mean spectrum of a collection diverse material spectra, such as endmember spectra in scene, essentially invariant to scene. allows retrieval reasonably accurate reflectance even...
Trichinella spiralis (Ts) is known to cause cardiac fibrosis, which a critical precursor various heart diseases, and its progression influenced by metabolic changes. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we observed that Ts-infected mice exhibited fibrosis along with elevated succinate levels in using metabolomic analysis. Administration of exacerbated during Ts infection, while deficiency receptor 1 (Sucnr1) alleviated condition, highlighting role succinate-Sucnr1 axis development....
The self-energies of \ensuremath{\Delta} isobars propagating in nuclear matter are calculated using the finite-density QCD sum-rule methods. calculations show that Lorentz vector self-energy for is significantly smaller than nucleon self-energy. magnitude scalar larger corresponding value nucleon, which suggests a strong attractive net \ensuremath{\Delta}; however, prediction very sensitive to density dependence certain in-medium four-quark condensate. Phenomenological implications couplings...
Doxycycline (Dox), a semisynthetic antibiotic, has been reported to exert multiple immunomodulatory effects. Treatment with Dox satisfactory curative effect against leptospirosis. In addition its antibacterial action, we supposed that also modulated immune response in controlling leptospira infection. Using J774A.1 mouse macrophages, the effects of on protein and mRNA levels IL-1β TNF-α were investigated after infection live or sonicated Leptospira interrogans serovar Lai strain (56601)....
Abstract Trichinella spiralis maintains chronic infections within its host. Muscle larvae excretory-secretory products (MLES) typically induce parasite-specific immune responses such as the Th2 response and regulatory T cells (Tregs) by modulating dendritic cell (DC) phenotype via recognition of pattern receptors (PRRs), Nod-like (NLRs). We aimed to investigate role NLRP3 in T. -triggered response. found that burden was increased −/− mice compared wild type (WT) mice. Administration MLES...
Helminth Trichinella spiralis (Ts) is one of the major pathogens human infective myocarditis that can lead to cardiac fibrosis (CF). The gut microbiota involved in this pathology are interest. Here, we use mice infected with Ts as a model examine interactions between microbes and host protection CF. Infected show enhanced CF severity. We find antibiotics treatment deplete aggravates disease phenotype. Attempts restore using fecal transplantation ameliorates helminth-induced 16S rRNA gene...
There is an urgent need for the development of new, improved vaccine adjuvants against T. spiralis infection. Polysaccharides are effective, safe, and biodegradable as adjuvant. In our study, we first observed protective efficacy lentinan adjuvant helminth Recombinant Serpin (rTs-Serpin) immunoscreened from a cDNA library spiralis, vaccine, protect host Trichinella The reduction rate burden rTs-Serpin+lentinan-immunized mice was significantly increased compared with rTs-Serpin+FCA -immunized...
