OBJECTIVE To determine effect of maternal antibodies on immune response to oral vaccination against rabies in young foxes. ANIMALS 250 cubs from 48 vixens. PROCEDURE Sera were obtained from cubs of 36 vaccinated (maternally vaccinated [MV+]) and 12 nonvaccinated (MV-) vixens between 23 and 71 days of age and tested for neutralizing antibodies. Seventy-one MV+ cubs and 33 MV-cubs were vaccin...

The immunity state to poliovirus types 1, 2, and 3 of a population aged 2 to 75 years was determined by examining 274 sera collected in the Venice mainland (North-East Italy). Altogether, the neutralizing antibody prevalences (at a titre > or = 1:2) for poliovirus 1, 2, and 3 were 99.0 percent (geometrical mean titres [GMT]: 72.1), 99.6 percent (GMT: 95.9) and 98.2 percent (GMT: 17.3), respecti...

Abstract In this article, a gate-mesa trench (GMT) β -Ga 2 O 3 metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) device with enhanced performance and breakdown voltage improvement is proposed. Compared the gate-field plate (GFPT), power figure of merit (PFOM) GMT are 2566 V 680.53 MW cm −2 respectively, which 1.56 times 2.25 higher than those GFPT, demonstrating excellent performance. ...

Abstract GMT (Glass Mat Reinforced Thermoplastics) is a new type of composite material made mica and glass fiber blended into polypropylene resin substrate, it durable, lightweight, high-strength, translucent easy to install, what’s more, can be recycled reused meet the needs energy conservation environmental protection. It one mainstream building formwork materials at present. This paper analy...

The (T, c)-dependent phase diagrams of two gangliosides, GM I and GM I(acetyl), have been explored, in spite of the frequent occurrence of metastable states. In GMT two lamellar, one hexagonal and two cubic (aspects ( 5 and 13) phases were identified, in addition to the isotropic micellar solution. In GMT(acetyl) two of the phases are cubic (aspects 8 and 13), one is the fluid isotropic solutio...

BACKGROUND Herpes zoster (HZ) occurs mainly in the elderly and Korea is rapidly becoming an aging society. Therefore, it is important to know the immune status against varicella-zoster virus (VZV) in Korean adults to prevent the disease. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to survey the immune status of Korean adults over 40 years of age against VZV. METHODS Antibody titer was measured usin...

Résumé Introduction: L'insatisfaction de carrière des médecins de travail (MT) peut influencer leur performance et la qualité des prestations fournies. L'objectif de notre étude est d'évaluer la satisfaction au travail des MT du terrain de l'ensemble des Groupements de médecine de travail (GMT) de la Tunisie et préciser les facteurs déterminants. Méthodes: Il s'agit d'une étude nationale transv...

Résumé Le rétrécissement mitral (RM) rhumatismal demeure une valvulopathie fréquente dans les pays en voie de développement. Cependant, les pays industrialisés ont vu l'émergence ces dernières années de nouvelles étiologies de RM; notamment l'origine médicamenteuse et/ou toxique responsable de valvulopathies restrictives aussi bien sténosantes que régurgitantes. Pour cette raison, l'évaluation ...

The reactogenicity and immunogenicity of combined measles and rubella (MR) booster vaccination, via aerosol and subcutaneous routes, was assessed in 562 healthy children. Rates of rubella seroconversion and geometric mean titers (GMT) were similar for both routes. Rates of measles PN seroconversion, GMT and measles ELISA post-vaccination seropositivity and seroconversion rate were each higher f...
