The gateway for invasion by the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) into human host cells is via angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE2) transmembrane receptor expressed in multiple immune and nonimmune cell types. SARS-CoV-2, that causes disease 2019 (COVID-19; CoV-19) has unusual capacity to attack many different types of simultaneously clathrin- caveolae-independent endocytic pathways, becoming injurious diverse cells, tissues organ systems exploiting any...
Background: The marked loss of glenoid bone volume or alteration version can affect component fixation in patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty. purpose this study was to evaluate the long-term results associated with use bone-grafting for restoration and at time Methods: Twenty‐one shoulders received an internally fixed, corticocancellous graft peripheral stock arthroplasty between 1980 1989. Grafting indicated when insufficient maintain adequate prosthesis. Seventeen were...
To assess the frequency of shedding herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) DNA in tears and saliva asymptomatic individuals.Fifty subjects without signs ocular herpetic disease participated. Serum samples from all were tested for HSV IgG antibodies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) HSV-1 neutralization assay. copy number determined real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis tear collected twice daily 30 consecutive days.Thirty-seven (74%) 50 positive ELISA. The percentages...
Staphylococcus aureus corneal infection results in extensive inflammation and tissue damage. Our previous studies of bacterial mutants have demonstrated a role for alpha-toxin virulence. This study analyzes, by genetic rescue experiments, the virulence affecting beta-toxin activity demonstrates ocular toxicity these purified staphylococcal proteins. Three types isogenic were analyzed: (i) specifically deficient (Hla) or (Hlb), (ii) mutant both Hla Hlb, (iii) regulatory mutant, accessory gene...
The theory of diffusion in media with double diffusivity is described by a system coupled linear partial differential equations parabolic type. Uniqueness, maximum principles and basic source solutions are established Part I the paper. In II technique for solving boundary-value problems developed applied to certain physically interesting cases. results substantiate provided it definite form amenable experimental verification.
Owing to their unusual properties, carbon nanostructures such as nanotubes and fullerenes have caused many new nanomechanical devices be proposed. One application is that of nanoscale oscillators which operate in the gigahertz range, so-called oscillators. Such potential applications ultrafast optical filters nano-antennae. While there are difficulties producing micromechanical molecular dynamical simulations indicate constructed multi-walled or single-walled C 60 could feasibly at these...

A new concept is described for methane and hydrogen storage materials involving the incorporation of magnesium-decorated fullerenes within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The system modeled using a novel approach underpinned by surface potential energies developed from Lennard-Jones parameters. Impregnation MOF pores with Mg(10)C(60) fullerenes, denoted as Mg-C(60)@MOF, places exposed metal sites high heats gas adsorption into intimate contact large area structures. Perhaps surprisingly,...
A porous treasure: Porous aromatic framework PAF-1 (see picture, blue structure) has been lithiated, giving a reduced with an increased gas storage capacity compared to native (by 22, 71, and 320 % for H2, CH4, CO2, respectively). The was examined spectroscopically, the potential hydrogen calculated.
Genetic deficits and loss of function for the triggering receptor expressed in myeloid cells 2 (TREM2; encoded at chr6p21.1), a transmembrane spanning stimulatory immunoglobulin/lectin-like gene superfamily, have been associated with deficiencies phagocytosis innate immune system Alzheimer's disease. In this study, we provide evidence that TREM2 is downregulated samples sporadic Alzheimer hippocampal CA1 compared age-matched controls. A nuclear factor-кB (NF-кB)-sensitive miRNA-34a (encoded...
Comparisons of virulence between a<i>Pseudomonas</i> parent strain and an isogenic mutant devoid protease IV have demonstrated a significant role for this enzyme during infection. We characterized purified <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> in terms its biochemical enzymatic properties, found it to be unique extracellular protease. The N-terminal decapeptide sequence is not homologous with any published protein sequence. Protease has molecular mass 26 kDa, isoelectric point 8.70, optimum activity...
The herpes simplex virus type 1 latency-associated transcript (LAT) is expressed as a major species 2,100 to 2,200 bases in length and less abundant one ca. 730 shorter latently infected mouse rabbit neurons. RNA blot hybridization experiments using 20- 22-base synthetic oligonucleotides mung bean nuclease protection assays have demonstrated that the smaller LAT colinear with larger one, except for 730-base intron. On basis of Northern analysis, spliced which comprises much 50% total latent...
Staphylococcus aureus produces a variety of proteins, including alpha-toxin and protein A, that could contribute to corneal tissue damage during keratitis. We examined infections produced by intrastromal injection four S. strains--three isogenic mutants, one lacking (Hly- Spa+), A (Hly+ Spa-), both the wild type Spa+)--in rabbit model experimental Rabbit corneas were injected intrastromally with 100 CFU strains, eyes slit lamp biomicroscopy over 25-h period. Corneal homogenates used for...
The discovery of carbon nanotubes and C 60 fullerenes has created an enormous impact on possible new nanomechanical devices. Owing to their unique mechanical electronic properties, such as low weight, high strength, flexibility thermal stability, are considerable interest researchers from many scientific areas. One aspect that attracted much attention is the creation high-frequency nanoscale oscillators, or so-called gigahertz for applications ultrafast optical filters nano-antennae. While...
