The T lymphocytes play an important role in prevention and recovery from viral infections. To characterize T lymphocyte responses to Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus infections, we analyzed JE virus-specific T lymphocytes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) obtained from seven JE patients and 10 vaccinees who had received a formalin-inactivated, purified JE virus vaccine (Biken vaccine...

Cilj istraživanja bio je procijeniti učestalost osteoporoze u oboljelih od Parkinsonove bolesti (PB). Istraživanje je obuhvatilo 26 bolesnika,17 žena i 9 muškaraca oboljelih od PB, bez znatnijeg komorbiditeta. Kliničkim pregledom utvrđena je starost, trajanje PB, način liječenja, komorbiditet, životne navike, ishrana i tjelesna aktivnost. Stadij PB i stupanj aktivnosti u svakodnevnom životu pro...

INTRODUCTION The reported incidence of JE among patients with acute encephalitic syndrome (AES) in Nepal ranges between 20% to 62%. In light of the lack of up-to-date data, we sought to describe the epidemiology of JE in Chitwan, Nepal. METHODS A prospective observational study was conducted during 2010-2012 in the College of Medical Science in the Chitwan District. Patients with suspected JE...

BACKGROUND Japanese encephalitis (JE) is very prevalent in China, but the incidence of JE among children has been greatly reduced by extensive promotion of vaccinations. The incidence of JE among adults, however, has increased in some parts of China. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Data on JE in mainland China, in terms of incidence, gender, and age, were collected between 2004 and 2014. We conduc...

The antigenic relationships between Japanese encephalitis (JE) virus and several other flaviviruses have been investigated using anti-JE virus monoclonal antibodies (MAbs). Seventeen MAbs directed against envelope protein E of JE virus were characterized and divided into eight MAb groups based on reactivity patterns in haemagglutination inhibition test, neutralization (N) test, ELISA and compet...

BACKGROUND There are no data on the use of inactivated Vero cell culture-derived Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccine (JE-VC) as a booster among individuals who previously received inactivated mouse brain-derived JE vaccine (JE-MB). METHODS Military personnel who received ≥3 doses of JE-MB or were JE vaccine-naïve were vaccinated with 2 doses of JE-VC on days 0 and 28. Serum neutralizing antibo...

Nismo srećni dok ne vidimo da napredujemo; a kako bismo došli do toga, moramo bolje upoznati svoju prošlost. Rad „Dom je tamo gde nam dobro“ predstavlja istraživanje fenomena prostora, kuće, doma, traume i sećanja. Kroz teorijsko prikazana su razmišljanja na koji način možemo posmatrati analizirati prostor, tumačimo fenomen dvojnosti kuće ali savremenu izvođačku praksu - imerzivnost. Oslanjajuć...

A molecular clone of Japanese encephalitis virus (JE virus) was derived from the JE virus Nakayama strain and used to produce infectious JE virus in cell culture. The engineered JE virus resembled the parental JE virus in cell-culture properties and was related closely to other JE virus strains based on nucleotide sequence analysis. The JE virus clone was used as a genetic background for constr...
