Gouty arthritis is caused by the deposition of uric acid crystals, which induce the activation of NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3) inflammasome. The NLRP3 inflammasome, composed of NLRP3, the adaptor protein ASC, and caspase-1, is closely linked to the pathogenesis of various metabolic diseases including gouty arthritis. We investigated whether an orally administrable ...

Abstract Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are a hallmark of rheumatoid arthritis, but the sources citrullinated antigens remain incompletely defined. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) appear to be source ACPA targets. However, while citrullinating enzyme peptidylarginine deiminase (PAD)4 is required for producing NETs, it not citrullination in murine arthritis. Conversely, PAD2...

The undergraduate laboratory sequence in mechanical engineering (ME) at Mississippi State University (MSU) begins with ME 3701—Experimental Orientation, a one-hour laboratory focusing on engineering measurements, instrumentation, and modern data acquisition (DAQ) systems. Instruction and student projects in ME at MSU concerning modern DAQ systems have changed considerably in past five years. On...

[1] Tropospheric temperatures in the Antarctic are retrieved by linearly combining satellite-borne Microwave Sounding Unit (MSU) channels 2 and 4 observations. We show good agreement between satellite-inferred temperature trends and radiosonde observations. It is illustrated that the Antarctic troposphere has cooled in the summer and fall seasons since 1979, in agreement with Thompson and Solom...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate the therapeutic effects of Huzhang-Guizhi herb pair (HG), firstly included in Hu-Zhang Power documented in Taiping Shenghui Fang, on monosodium urate (MSU) crystals-induced gouty arthritis in rats. We found that pretreatment with HG in rats with gouty arthritis could significantly attenuate the ankle joint swelling, and this beneficial antigout effec...

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether DQ could prove useful to identify monosodium urate (MSU) and calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate (CPPD) crystals on permanent mounted stained slides. To this end, we studied 27 synovial fluid (SF) samples obtained from the knees of patients with the pseudogout (n=21) and acute gouty arthritis (n=6). Wet analysis for crystal detection and identification ...

Crop coefficient for cherries was evaluated by measure the water consumption in Michigan State to find its variation with time as plant growth. coefficients value (Kc) were predicated University (MSU) and also Food Agriculture Organization (FAO) according consume of through season. In this paper crop are modified accordingly actual measurements soil moisture content. Actual evapotranspiration (...
