The junctional epithelium (JE) is an epithelial component that is directly attached to the tooth surface and has a protective function against periodontal diseases. In this study, we determined the origin of the JE using a bioengineered tooth technique. We transplanted the bioengineered tooth germ into the alveolar bone with an epithelial component that expressed green fluorescence protein. The...

Japanese encephalitis (JE) is one of the most dreaded mosquito-borne viral encephalitis known to afflict humans. The Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) is a neurotropic flavivirus that affects the CNS, causing extensive damage that may lead to fatality in about one third of patients. Half of the survivors suffer from severe neuropshychiatric sequelae. With nearly 3 billion people living under th...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Japanese encephalitis (JE) is an important aetiology of acute encephalitis syndrome in Gorakhpur division, Uttar Pradesh, India. Two doses of JE vaccine ( first during 9-12 months and second during 16-24 months of age) are administered under the Universal Immunization Programme. We conducted surveys to estimate the coverage of JE vaccine and magnitude of missed opportuni...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study is to examine the spatiotemporal pattern of Japanese Encephalitis (JE) in mainland China during 2002-2010. Specific objectives of the study were to quantify the temporal variation in incidence of JE cases, to determine if clustering of JE cases exists, to detect high risk spatiotemporal clusters of JE cases and to provide evidence-based preventive suggestions to r...

Za procjenu aktivnosti ankilozantnog spondilitisa (AS) najčešće se koristi Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) kojim se kroz 6 pitanja evaluira 5 osnovnih simptoma bolesti (umor, bol u kralježnici, bol i oteklina zglobova, osjetljivost enteza, intenzitet i trajanje jutarnje zakočenosti). Za razliku od navedenog, Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) je in...

Raziskana sta dva izpridevnigka glagolska besedotvorna vzorca: ~inhoativno<< obrazilo -eti in ~fakti t ivnoobrazilo i t i . Poglavitni cilj raziskave je ugotavljanje moinosti za merjenje produktivnosti besedotvornih vzorcev. Analiza je bila izpeljana na osnovi psiholobkega testiranja, izvedenega v Ljubljani v letih 1993-94. Glede produktivnosti je avtor priSel do treh zakljutkov: prvit, produkt...

In this paper, Je reys' prior for a neural network is discussed in the framework of the Bayesian statistics. For a good performance of generalization, the regularization methods which reduce both cost function and regularization term are commonly used. In the Bayesian statistics, the regularization term can be naturally derived from prior distribution of parameters. Je reys' prior is known as a...

BACKGROUND Japanese encephalitis (JE) is the leading cause of viral encephalitis across Asia with approximately 70,000 cases a year and 10,000 to 15,000 deaths. Because JE incidence varies widely over time, partly due to inter-annual climate variability effects on mosquito vector abundance, it becomes more complex to assess the effects of a vaccination programme since more or less climatically ...

Japanese encephalitis (JE) surveillance has been conducted since 1965 as a part of the National Epidemiological Surveillance of Vaccine Preventable Diseases in Japan. Over 1,000 JE cases were reported annually in the late 1960s. The number of JE cases has since markedly decreased, with less than 10 cases reported annually from 1992 to 2004. A total of 361 JE cases were reported between 1982 and...
