Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection has been shown to be a risk factor for the development of allergy in humans and mice. The allergy-enhancing properties of RSV may be dependent on atopic background and an individual's history of RSV infection. We examined the influence of the timing of infection and prior inoculation with RSV in a mouse model of allergic asthma. Mice were sensitized t...

BACKGROUND Resveratrol (RSV) is a polyphenolic phytoalexin that has many effects on metabolic diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Given the importance of brown adipose tissue (BAT) for energy expenditure, we investigated the effects of RSV on brown adipocytes. METHODS For the in vitro study, interscapular BAT was isolated from 7-week-old male Sprague Dawley rats. For the in vivo study, 7-w...

Abstract Background The economic burden of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection and its impact on health‐related quality life (HRQoL) are not well‐understood in China. This study assessed total cost HRQoL for children hospitalized with RSV Central Methods Based a prospective case series Henan Province 2020–2021, inpatients aged 0–59 months RSV‐related acute infections (ARIs) were include...

When the endogenous polypurine tract (PPT) of the Rous sarcoma virus (RSV)-derived vector RSVP(A)Z was replaced with alternate retroviral PPTs, the fraction of unintegrated viral DNA with the normal consensus ends significantly decreased and the retention of part of the PPT significantly increased. If the terminus of the U3 long terminal repeat (LTR) is aberrant, RSV integrase can correctly pro...

Given the illness and deaths caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection during the first year of life, preventing infant RSV infections through maternal vaccination is intriguing. However, little is known about the extent and maternal effects of RSV infection during pregnancy. We describe 3 cases of maternal RSV infection diagnosed at a US center during winter 2014. Case-patient 1 (2...

Severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection has been hypothesized to be a risk factor for the development of allergy and asthma, but epidemiologic studies in humans have been inconclusive. By use of a well-characterized murine model of RSV infection and allergic sensitization with ovalbumin, the effect of a preceding severe RSV infection on the development of the pulmonary allergic infla...

BACKGROUND Childhood pneumonia and bronchiolitis is a leading cause of illness and death in young children worldwide with Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) as the main viral cause. RSV has been associated with annual respiratory disease outbreaks and bacterial co-infection has also been reported. This study is the first RSV epidemiological study in young children hospitalized with community-acq...

Resveratrol (RSV), polyphenol from grape, was studied to evaluate its effects on calorimetric parameters, energy metabolism, and antioxidants in the myocardium of diabetic rats. The animals were randomly divided into four groups (n = 8): C (control group): normal rats; C-RSV: normal rats receiving RSV; DM: diabetic rats; and DM-RSV: diabetics rats receiving RSV. Type 1 diabetes mellitus was ind...

Background: Resveratrol (RSV), a phenolic compound, is present in many human dietary sources, such as peanuts, peanut butter, grapes skin, and grape wine. RSV has been widely known for its benefits on health. Beef from cattle skeletal muscle one of the main sources protein consumption. Previous studies have also found that pork chicken qualities are influenced by feed supplementation with RSV. ...
