This is a report of the complete genomic sequence of a rare rotavirus group A G8-P[14]-I2-R3-C2-M2-A3-N2-T6-E2-H3 strain detected in a stool sample from a 57-year-old subject.

The viscoelastic response of commercial aluminum alloys 7075-T6 and 2024-T3 as a function of temperature is presented. Experimental data are obtained with a dynamic-mechanical analyzer (DMA) at different loading frequencies and compared with the available transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) data. The effect of successive microstructural transformat...

A method for concentrating, enumerating and isolating viral particles from marine water samples was developed and evaluated. The method consists of a concentration step by a tangential flow filtration (TFF) system, ultrafiltration by centrifugal concentrator, and visualization by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This procedure allows to reduce volumes of ca. 21 of seawater to 10-20 micro...

Immune spleen cells from LCM virus-infected (CBA X C57BL/6)F1 radiation chimeras entirely repopulated with CBA-T6 lymphocytes were cytotoxic for allogeneic, LCM virus infected C57BL/6 mouse-derived target cells. Normal C57BL/6 targets were not lysed. CBA-T6 lymphocytes derived from (CBA X C57BL/6) radiation chimeras sensitized in vitro against TNP-conjugated C57BL/6 spleen cells lysed TNP-conju...

Discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2) is involved in fibrotic disease. However, the exact pathogenic implications of the receptor in early alcoholic liver disease are still controversial. We constructed plasmid vectors encoding short-hairpin RNA against DDR2 to investigate its role in alcoholic liver disease in an immortalized rat hepatic stellate cell line, HSC-T6, and in rats by MTT, RT-PCR and ...

The failure of an AL6061-T6 and Kevlar-29 composite plate under high-velocity impact from an S-S (structural Steel) projectile tool was investigated using the nonlinear explicit finite element software, ANSYS AUTODYAN. Two velocity ranges 350 m/s and 700 m/s were used for FEM simulation. It was analyzed that AL6061-T6 is more resistant than KELVAR 29 at both ranges but Kevlar 29 is light in wei...

Background:Magnesium has anti-nociceptive effects and potentiates opioid analgesia following its systemic and neuraxial administration. In our study, the effect of intravenous magnesium sulphate in pre-eclamptic patients on spinal anaesthesia produced by bupivacaine was investigated. Materials and Methods:Sixty pregnant (30 normal and 30 pre-eclamptic) patients were enrolled in this study in tw...

Tubeculosis commonly involves the nervous system, but involvement of spinal cord in the form of intramedullary tuberculoma is rare and concurrent occurrence of cranial and intramedullary tuberculomas is extremely rare. We report a case of concurrent occurrence of intramedullary tuberculoma with multiple intracranial tuberculomas in a young girl from Islamabad, who presented with one month histo...
