Microbial pathogenesis
Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) can promote the establishment of high acidic biofilms and therefore have contribution to the development of dental caries. Alleviating the acidic environment and/or disrupting the structure of S. mutans biofilm are effective approaches against dental caries, rather than killing the microorganisms. The anti-biofilm e...

Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae (M. hyopneumoniae) is the etiological agent of enzootic pneumonia, a highly infectious swine respiratory disease that distributed worldwide. The pathogenesis and virulence factors of M. hyopneumoniae are not fully clarified. As an important virulence factor of bacteria, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase (NOX)...

Hypoxia is an inherent factor in the inflammatory process and is important in the regulation of some immune cell functions, including the expression of mast cell pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators. Hypoxia also influences cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM). Hyaluronic acid is one of the major components of the ECM that is involved in...

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNAs about 22 nucleotides in length that regulate the expression of target genes post-transcriptionally, and are highly involved in cancer progression. They are able to impact a variety of cell processes such as proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation and can consequently control tumor initiation, tumor...

Peritoneal adhesion formation is a challenging postoperative complication. We aim to evaluate the effect of orally administered sirolimus, prednisolone, and their combination to prevent this entity. Eighty female albino underwent intraperitoneal injection of 3 mL of 10% sterile talc solution to induce peritoneal adhesion, and were subsequently and ...

When designing engineered systems, it is important to be able to specify the surface roughness requirements for the functional surfaces. This task is however not simple. In the course, the surface topography of solid surfaces will be presented through roughness parameters and the way to measure them at different scales and its effect on several phy...

Foods prepared from the Asteraceae family are known to exert in vitro antioxidant activity. For example, roots and fruit extracts from dandelion were found to possess antioxidant and anti-platelet potential in two in vitro models (washed blood platelets and whole blood). However, little is known of other extracts from the Asteraceae, such as chicor...

The adhesion of surfactant molecules on the microplastics surface is affected by the surface structure of the microplastics. Little is known about the mobility of different microplastics in the medium under surfactants. In order to reveal the migration of different microplastics under the action of surfactants, the study selected five kinds of micr...

Inositols (Ins) are natural compounds largely widespread in plants and animals. Bio-sinthetically they derive from sugars, possessing a molecular structure very similar to the simple sugars, and this aspect concurs to define them as primary metabolites, even though it is much more correct to place them at the boundary between primary and secondary ...

An extended, ready-to-implement 3D model for quasi-industrial problems of contact with friction and recoverable interface adhesion between soft material is formulated using the Raous-Cangémi-Cocou (RCC) interface model and a bi-potential based resolution method. According to the RCC description, the recoverable adhesive interface behaviour derives ...
