Expression of interleukin-16 in gastric mucosa: a possible role in the persistance of helicobacter pylori infection
… an array of chemokines that recruit other cells. IL-16 is potentially a key chemokine not yet examined during H. pylori infection. IL-16 selectively recruits CD4+ T cells since it uses CD4 as a receptor; but makes them unresponsive to antigen, which could explain failed vaccine clinical trials. As …

Altered cord blood biomarkers in neonatal brain injury
… objective biochemical measurements. The umbilical cord blood (UCB) can give a snapshot of both the newborn and the in-utero environment. It is non-invasive to both mother and infant and contains microRNA (miRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA) and circulating proteins that can exist stably in the …

Contribution à la compréhension de l'immunopathogénie de l'aspergillose nasosinusale chez le chien
Sinonasal aspergillosis is a sever fungal rhinosinusitis mainly affecting large breed dogs in their mid ages. Its most common causal agent is A. fumigatus, a fungus that is largely spread in the atmosphere. As of today, the diagnostic and treatment for this disease remain a challenge for the …

Development of an oral DNA anti-cancer vaccine targeting an angiogenic peptide, proadrenomedullin N-terminal 20 peptide (PAMP)
… ghosts five times at 2-week intervals. Then, B16-F10 melanoma cells were injected either into the tail vein to generate lung metastases or subcutaneously to generate cutaneous melanoma. Furthermore, naive CD4+ T cells were exposed to PAMP, and their secretome was analyzed by proximity extension …

Mechanisms of atopic dermatitis and allergy development in African (AmaXhosa) children between 12-36 months of age
… skin disease that disproportionately affects children and has increased rapidly during recent years in South Africa. Current data suggest that the changing diversity of environmental exposures, diet, and lifestyle factors across African societies might provide unique disease promoting effects in …

Effect of HIV infection and pregnancy on parameters of vaginal immunity
… pathway that has been implicated in susceptibility to HIV infection, and two interferon pathways that have been associated with antiviral immune defense. We hypothesized that pregnant women have increased proinflammatory cytokines in genital secretions, potentially putting them at increased …

Definizione di una metodologia per l’implementazione di un sistema di aiuto alla decisione, in ambiente GIS, finalizzato all’integrazione dell’efficienza energetica degli edifici residenziali nei processi di formulazione e valutazione di politiche, piani o programmi in ambito urbano
… riduzione delle emissioni di GAS serra per il 20202, il tema dell’efficienza energetica è diventato una delle priorità dei governi nazionali. Il settore residenziale, al quale nei paesi europei è riferibile circa il 40% delle emissioni, è uno dei settori strategici per il perseguimento …

Modulation of macrophage and epithelial cell immune defences by probiotic bacteria: immune stimulation versus suppression
… cytokine suppression, and augmentation of IL-10 production in the gut relate to endotoxin tolerance. Endotoxin tolerance is a context; it could present an example for cell drive through a hypo-responsive state. An example is mu-cosal inflammatory pathologies, such as Crohn’s disease. When …

Analysis and synthesis techniques of nonlinear dynamical systems with applications to diagnostic of controlled thermonuclear fusion reactors
… high sensitivity to initial conditions, lead to ill-conditioning problems and high computational costs. The dynamical system theory, the branch of mathematics used to describe the behaviour of these systems, focuses not on finding exact solutions to the equations describing the dynamical system, …
