In these days of war, both from the battle areas and from accidents in war industries, injuries to the eye are common. Many of these injuries are perforating in nature ; a foreign body has entered some part of the globe and may be lodged inside or outside the eyeball. In war injuries, the foreign bodies include splinters from glass, bombs, shells, handgrenades and booby-traps, whereas in indust...

DNA plasmids encoding foreign proteins may be used as immunogens by direct intramuscular injection alone, or with various adjuvants and excipients, or by delivery of DNA-coated gold particles to the epidermis through biolistic immunization. Antibody, helper T lymphocyte, and cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses have been induced in laboratory and domesticated animals by these methods. In a nu...

Inhalation of metal dusts and fumes can induce a wide range of respiratory disorders, including granulomatosis, chemical pneumonitis and pulmonary interstitial disease. Laryngeal cancer is the most common cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract. We present a patient with occupational lung disease whose chest CT showed miliary nodular pattern, with concurrent laryngeal cancer who had been engage...

Oral pulse granuloma (PG) is a rare lesion that presents as a foreign body granulomatous reaction to implanted food particles of plant or vegetable origin. It is classified as a central or a peripheral lesion depending on the location. Rarely, a central oral PG may be associated with a cyst or tumor, thus leading to a deceptive histopathological picture. This is exemplified in the present case ...

Neutralization capsid epitopes are important determinants for antibody-mediated immune protection against papillomavirus (PV) infection and induced disease. Chimeric L1 major capsid proteins of the human PV type 16 (HPV-16) and the bovine PV type 1 (BPV-1) with a foreign peptide incorporated into several capsid surface loops self-assembled into pentamers or virus-like particles (VLP). Binding p...

This paper focuses on a strategic improving quality of “high quality assurance CAE (computer aided engineering) analysis model” to be used in development design. The authors present a case of transaxle oil seal leakage in automotive drive trains, a technical reliability problem that generates bottlenecks for auto manufacturers around the world. The application of this model is used to analyze c...

Because the brain lacks a true lymphatic system, it is unclear how peripheral lymphocytes recognize foreign antigens present in the central nervous system. This report demonstrates that the choroid plexus, which constitutes the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier, is able to present foreign antigen to, and stimulate the proliferation of, peripheral helper T lymphocytes through an Ia-dependent, ma...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2016218565 DESCRIPTION An 8-year-old girl child presented with the history of firecracker injury to the right eye. There was a sudden loss of vision associated with pain, redness and watering. Primarily, she was diagnosed as panophthalmitis and started of intravenous antibiotics, ...

Insect BTI-TN-5B1-4 (Tn5) cells have been used extensively with recombinant baculoviruses to express foreign genes. When a recombinant baculovirus containing the hepatitis E virus capsid protein gene was used to infect Tn5 cells, unknown virus particles in addition to the anticipated hepatitis E virus-like particles were produced in the infected cells. The unknown virus particles were 35 nm in ...

We analysed revised Mathys isoelastic polyacetal femoral stems with stainless-steel heads and polyethylene acetabular cups from eight patients in order to differentiate various types of particle of wear debris. Loosening of isoelastic femoral stems is associated with the formation of polyacetal wear particles as well as those of polyethylene and metal. All three types of particle were isolated ...
