the possibility that infectious agents may trigger a cascade of reactions leading to inflammation, atherogenesis and vascular thrombotic events has recently been raised. chlamydia pneumoniae is an infectious agent that has received the most attention with respect to coronary artery disease (cad). to determine the relationship between c. pneumoniae and cad, a case control study was conducted on ...

Fc region binding peptide conjugated with attenuated cationic amphiphilic lytic L17E trimer [FcB(L17E)3] was designed for immunoglobulin G (IgG) delivery into cells. Particle-like liquid droplets were generated by mixing Alexa Fluor 488 labeled IgG (Alexa488-IgG) FcB(L17E)3. Droplet contact the cellular membrane led to spontaneous influx and distribution of Alexa488-IgG throughout cells in seru...

In the context of the littlest Higgs(LH) model, we study the process ee → tt̄. We find that the new gauge bosons ZH and BH can produce significant correction effects on this process, which can be further enhanced by the suitably polarized beams. In most of the parameter space preferred by the electroweak precision data, the absolute value of the relative correction parameter RBH is larger than 5...

In the framework of the littlest Higgs(LH) model, we consider the processes e+e− → νν̄H and e+e− → W ∗W ∗νν̄ → νν̄tt̄, and calculate the contributions of new particles to the cross sections of these processes in the future high energy e+e− collider(ILC) with √ S = 1TeV . We find that, with reasonable values of the free parameters, the deviations of the cross sections for the processes e+e− → νν̄H fr...
