This study aims to investigate the anti-inflammatory responses and mechanisms of Siegesbeckia orientalis ethanol extract (SOE). In cell culture experiments, RAW264.7 cells were pretreated with SOE and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for inflammatory mediators assay. In animal experiments, mice were tube-fed with SOE for 1 week, and s.c. injected with λ-carrageenan or i.p. injected with...

Background: Formation of secondary structure such as DNA hairpins or loops may influence molecular genetics methods and PCR based approaches necessary for genetic engineering, in addition to gene regulation. Materials and Methods: A polymerase chain reaction with splice overlap extension (SOE-PCR) was used to create fully synthetic 1F5 chimeric anti-CD20 heavy- and light-chain genes. The chi...

The theory of Service Oriented Environment (SOE) emerges with advanced connectivity of the Internet technologies, openness of business environment and prosperousness of business activities. Service, as a critical object impenetrating every corner of SOE, is a hot research topic in many research domains. Software Engineering (SE), as a subject in engineering field, its researchers pay more atten...

In February 1995, sequence-of-events (SOE)-driven automation technology was demonstrated for a Voyager telemetry downlink track at DSS 13. This demonstration entailed automated generation of an operations procedure (in the form of a temporal dependency network) from project SOE information using artificial intelligence planning technology and automated execution of the temporal dependency netwo...

CONTEXT Sensory challenges are common among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of interventions targeting sensory challenges in ASD. DATA SOURCES Databases, including Medline and PsycINFO. STUDY SELECTION Two investigators independently screened studies against predetermined criteria. DATA EXTRACTION One investigator extracte...

Service Oriented Enterprise (SOE) has brought up requirement for performance measurement of the novel business model in its dynamic and flexible business environment. To solve the problem, conception of SOE is discussed from business perspective firstly, and an operation architecture of SOE is proposed and analyzed. The Service Oriented Economic Value Added (SO-EVA) performance measurement mode...

A method for automatic generation of syntax-oriented editors (SOE) for high level programming languages is presented. It is based on a special template definition metalanguage. The SOE functional environment including the operations with source files and internal representation of the programs in form of abstract syntax tree was implemented as an independent modular structure. As a result of ta...

Endometrial cancer is a common malignancy of the female genital tract. This study demonstrates that Siegesbeckia orientalis ethanol extract (SOE) significantly inhibited the proliferation of RL95-2 human endometrial cancer cells. Treating RL95-2 cells with SOE caused cell arrest in the G2/M phase and induced apoptosis of RL95-2 cells by up-regulating Bad, Bak and Bax protein expression and down...
