Towards a reproducible model for subcortical capsular strokes
… upper limb deficits are caused by damage to the capsular region caused by ischemia in the anterior choroidal artery. However, animal research has focused on motor impairments caused by cortical damage. This overreliance on cortical models of stroke exists because currently there is no focal model …

NMR characterisation of group b streptococcus capsular polysaccharide repeating units
… differentiated by their sialic acid-containing capsular polysaccharide. Capsular polysaccharides are the virulence factor for bacterial pathogens and the target for vaccine development, with multivalent polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccines licenced against bacteria such as Neisseria …

Molecular modelling of the Streptococcus pneumoniae serogroup 6 capsular polysaccharide antigens
… study of the structural characterization of the capsular polysaccharides of Streptococcus pneumoniae is conducted using Molecular Modelling methods. S.pneumoniae causes invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD), a leading cause of death in children under five. The serotypes in group 6 are amongst the …

CAPSULAR DEVICES FOR ORAL MODIFIED RELEASE OF DRUGS PREPARED BY INJECTION MOLDING
… was focused on the development of a pulsatile capsular-shaped drug delivery system (DDS) named ChronocapTM. It consists of a capsule shell, made of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC), prepared by injection molding (IM); it is intended to be filled with different types of drug preparations and to …

Chemical and spectroscopic studies of the capsular polysaccharides of some Klebsiella serotypes
… the elucidation of the molecular structures of capsular polysaccharides (the K-antigen) produced by strains of the bacterial genus Klebsiella, the capsular material of serotype K71 has been investigated, and that of serotypes K36 and K64 re-examined, by novel enzymic and spectroscopic methods. …

Phenotypic and genotypic characterisation of invasive Streptococcus pneumoniae expressing atypical capsular types
… to identify serotypes, due to mutations in the capsular gene cluster of atypical isolates. The encoded capsules have been shown to cross react with anti-sera from other pneumococcal serogroups. We, therefore, aimed to phenotypically and genotypically characterise a subset of isolates collected …

Structural analysis of capsular polysaccharides produced by some emerging Klebsiella pneumoniae serotypes
… Organisation (WHO). K. pneumoniae produces a capsular polysaccharide (CPS or Kantigen), which constitutes an important virulence factor and a potential vaccine antigen. To date, there are up to 77 known distinct K. pneumoniae K-antigen serotypes, that have been classified through serotyping. …

THE ROLE OF OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS IN CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE AROUND THE BREAST IMPLANTS
… which often leads to re-intervention, is capsular contracture. It consists in pathological hardening of the fibrous shell developing around a breast prosthesis.The development of connective tissue around any foreign body is physiological, but progression into a thick and firm capsule, as …

Expression of myofibroblasts and identification of angiotensin receptors in capsular contracture disease around mammary implants
Capsular contracture is a physically and psychologically debilitating disease characterised by fibrosis and contraction of the breast capsule in women with implants. There is evidence that Angiotensin-II (Ang-II) is implicated in pathological wound healing and that blockers of Ang-II may prevent …

Structural studies of the capsular polysaccharides from some strains of Klebsiella and Cryptococcus neoformans micro-organisms
The structures of the exopolysaccharides from a number of strafos of the bacterial genus KlebsieUa have been investigated and compared. ·All of these polysaccharides have been shown to be composed of regularly repeated oligosaccharide units containing -glucuronic acid and three to five hexose …

Synthetic studies toward 6-deoxy-ß-D-ido-heptopyranosides related to capsular polysaccharides of Campylobacter jejuni
… destruction of the nervous system. The capsular polysaccharide (CPS) of C. jejuni contains a unique repeating disaccharide unit which includes an unusual idopyranoside (6-deoxy-D-ido-heptose); we hypothesized that re-directing the immune response towards bacterial CPS may potentially …

Force field comparison through computational analysis of capsular polysaccharides of Streptococcus pneumoniae serotypes 19A and F
Modern Molecular Dynamics force fields, such as the CHARMM36 and GLYCAM06carbohydrate force fields, are parametrised to reproduce behaviours for specific molecules under specific conditions in order to be able to predict the behaviour of similar molecular systems, where there is often no …

Synthesis of fragments of the capsular polysaccharide of <i>Neisseria meningitidis</i> (serogroup A) suitable for bioconjugation
… factor of this bacterium is the presence of a capsular polysaccharide (CPS) and apart from being an important surface antigen, also protects the bacteria cells against phagocytosis by the host’s immune defense. The CPS structure of the serotype A is the (1-6)-linked …

Der Einfluss von Matrix-Metalloproteinasen und ihrer Inhibitoren auf die Kapselbildung nach Mammaaugmentation mit texturierten und glattwandigen Silikongel-Implantaten
The pathophysiology of a capsular contracture after alloplastic breast augmentation resembles that of other fibrotic diseases. In this regard, the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors, the tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMPs), play an important role. In my study, …

Characterization of the Capsular Polysaccharide of Haemophilus parasuis and its Application in the Diagnosis and Prevention of Glasser's Disease
… Our goals were to characterize the H. parasuis capsular polysaccharide (CP), determine its role in serotype-specificity and virulence, determine if CP is immunogenic, and develop diagnostic and protective products to prevent rampant H. parasuis infection within swine herds. Material from H. …
