The messenger-RNA (mRNA) expression of selected cytokines and chemokines in primary chicken oviduct epithelial cells (COEC) was determined following in vitro infections with wild-type or type three secretion system (T3SS)-mutant Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) strains. All SE strains examined in this study elicited the expression of proinflammatory immune mediators including induci...

Authentication, authorization, and accounting services pro Q1 vide the framework on top of which a reliable, secure, and robust accounting system can be built. Q2 In a previous work of ours, we have presented a flexible and, most importantly, generic accounting scheme for next generation networks. In this paper, we substantially improve our previous work by providing the required Diameter appli...

BACKGROUND Care for elderly persons with disabilities is usually characterized by fragmentation, often leading to more intrusive and expensive forms of care such as hospitalization and institutionalization. There has been increasing interest in the ability of integrated models to improve health, satisfaction, and service utilization outcomes. METHODS A program of integrated care for vulnerabl...

The platelet aggregation that is dependent on von Willebrand factor (vWF) is important in the thrombogenesis that occurs under conditions of high shear stress, eg, during acute coronary syndromes (ACSs). A monoclonal antibody, AJvW-2, directed against the A1 domain of human vWF specifically blocks the interaction between plasma vWF and platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ib. To evaluate the association ...

Speech-based intelligent personal assistants (sIPAs) promise to improve quality of life in older adults, but they pose various usability barriers that limit their adoption by adults. We conducted a semi-structured interview study with fourteen adults understand experiences these devices. The collected data were analyzed using inductive and deductive coding, resulting the identification two broa...

OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to identify differences in shear-induced platelet aggregation (SIPA) between patients who did or did not experience subacute stent thrombosis (SAT). BACKGROUND Despite dual antiplatelet therapy, SAT after coronary stenting occurs in approximately 1% of patients. There is no accepted platelet function test to identify patients at risk. METHODS We analyze...

Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (SE) infection of chickens is a major contributing factor to non-typhoidal salmonellosis. The roles of the type-three secretion systems (T3SS-1 and T3SS-2) in the pathogenesis of SE infection of chickens are poorly understood. In this study, the functions of T3SS-1 and T3SS-2 during SE infection of primary chicken oviduct epithelial cells (COEC) and macro...

Graphene/silicon (Gr/Si) Schottky junction solar cells have attracted extensive research interest due to their simple structure and potential low-cost. Surface texturing is an important part of high-efficiency cells. In this paper, the effects TMAH concentration, IPA concentration etching time on anti-reflection ability silicon pyramid array (SiPa) were systematically studied obtain uniform rel...

Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Tm) is a leading cause of diarrhea. The disease is triggered by pathogen invasion into the gut epithelium. Invasion is attributed to the SPI-1 type 3 secretion system (T1). T1 injects effector proteins into epithelial cells and thereby elicits rearrangements of the host cellular actin cytoskeleton and pathogen invasion. The T1 effector proteins SopE, SopB, SopE2 and S...
