Artificial Toll-like receptor 7/8 (TLR7/8) ligands can endow plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) with tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)-dependent lytic properties. Keeping in mind that ssRNA serves as natural TLR7/8 ligand, we searched for TRAIL-expressing cells in persons infected with HIV and identified TRAIL+ pDCs in HIV-1 viremic persons, but not in nonviremic ...

BACKGROUND We recently implemented the use of an ex-vivo porcine model to teach residents the fundamentals of performing a laparoscopic Nissen fundoplication. METHODS Residents were trained using intact porcine esophagus, stomach, and spleen placed in a standard video-trainer. They were later asked to complete a survey containing a course evaluation. RESULTS Sixteen residents (R1-R4) comple...

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationships between musical cadence and the physiologic adaptations to basic head-out aquatic exercises. Fifteen young and clinically healthy women performed, immersed to the breast, a cardiovascular aquatic exercise called the "rocking horse." The study design included an intermittent and progressive protocol starting at a 90 b.min(-1) rhythm and ...

The anteroposterior compartments of the developing hindbrain (rhombomeres [r]) are normally patterned by the combinatorial action of distinct Hox genes. Using Affymetrix GeneChips to define the repertoire of genes regulated in each rhombomere, we have performed a systematic survey of the transcriptional status of individual segments of the developing chick hindbrain (r1-5) at a key stage of ear...

Hydrolyses of HC[triple bond]CSO3SiMe3 (1) and CH3C[triple bond]CSO3SiMe3(2) lead to the formation of acetylenic sulfonic acids HC[triple bond]CSO3H.2.33H2O (3)and CH3C[triple bond]CSO3H.1.88H2O (4). These acids were reacted with guanidinium carbonate to yield [+C(NH2)3][HC[triple bond]CSO3] (5) and [+C(NH2)3][CH3C[triple bond]CSO3] (6). Compounds 1-6 were characterized by spectroscopic methods...

Broomcorn millet Huangjiu brewing is usually divided into primary fermentation and post-fermentation. Microbial succession the major factor influencing development of typical flavor. Here, we report changes in flavor substances microbial community during broomcorn Huangjiu. Results indicated that a total 161 volatile compounds were measured fermentation, estragole was detected for first time A ...
