Frequency of IL-17 and/or IL-22 expressing mucosal CD4+T cells decreases by progression of Fiebig stage. by Alexandra Schuetz (327671)

“…<p>To quantify the expression of Il-17 and IL-22 in CD4+T cells, mucosal and peripheral mononuclear cells were stimulated for 5 hours with 40 ng/mL PMA and 1 µM Ionomycin. Gating strategy of sigmoid colon Th17 and Th22 CD4+T cells is shown for a FI subject (<b>a</b>) and representative flow cytometry plots including unstimulated controls (unstim) gated on CD4+T cells showing expression of IL-17 and/or IL-22 in FI (<b>b</b>), FIII (<b>c</b>) and FV (<b>d</b>) in the sigmoid colon. …”

Decreasing Abundance, Increasing Diversity and Changing Structure of the Wild Bee Community (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) along an Urbanization Gradient by Laura Fortel (614514)

“…Landscape structure within three different radii was measured at each study site. We captured 291 wild bee species. The abundance of wild bees was negatively correlated with the proportion of impervious surface, while species richness reached a maximum at an intermediate (50%) proportion of impervious surface. …”

Supplementary Material for: Use of the Myocardial Performance Index in Decreased Fetal Movement Assessment: A Case-Control Study by Ho D. (4108837)

“…<p><b><i>Objectives:</i></b> To determine whether there are any fetal cardiac function changes, as measured by the myocardial performance index (MPI), in pregnancies complicated by decreased fetal movement (DFM). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We performed a prospective cross-sectional case-control study of 50 DFM and 50 uncomplicated third-trimester pregnancies matched within 2 gestational weeks. …”

Knockdown of Hsp90α or Hsp90β with siRNA decreased the proportion of extracellular FN matrix. by Morgan C. Hunter (513136)

Nef Decreases HIV-1 Sensitivity to Neutralizing Antibodies that Target the Membrane-proximal External Region of TMgp41 by Rachel P.J. Lai (193116)

“…Since we failed to detect an effect of Nef on the quantity of virion-associated Env, we searched for qualitative changes by examining whether Nef alters HIV-1 sensitivity to agents that target distinct features of Env. …”

Factors associated with abnormal left ventricular ejection fraction (decreased or increased) in patients with sepsis in the intensive care unit by Dong Geum Shin (6019568)

“…Patients were classified into three categories according to LV EF (group 1 –[EF<50%, n = 36], group 2 –[50≤EF<70%, n = 252], and group 3 –[EF≥70%, n = 78]). …”

Inhibition of Nuclear Factor-Kappa B Activation Decreases Survival of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> in Human Macrophages by Xiyuan Bai (407197)

“…Inhibition of the executioner protease caspase-3 or of the autophagic pathway significantly abrogated the effects of BAY. We conclude that NFκB inhibition decreases viability of intracellular <i>MTB</i> in human macrophages via induction of apoptosis and autophagy.…”

vOPG147 impairs cGAMP-induced dissociation of MITA from STIM1 and its trafficking. by Xue-Mei Yi (18851202)

The recruitment of MYD88 to TLR2 and IRAK-4 phosphorylation are decreased in β3-integrin–silenced cells. by Tatiana Gianni (499634)

A Two-Year Randomized Trial of Interventions to Decrease Stress Hormone Vasopressin Production in Patients with Meniere’s Disease—A Pilot Study by Tadashi Kitahara (702040)

“…<div><p>Meniere's disease, a common inner ear condition, has an incidence of 15–50 per 100,000. Because mental/physical stress and subsequent increase in the stress hormone vasopressin supposedly trigger Meniere's disease, we set a pilot study to seek new therapeutic interventions, namely management of vasopressin secretion, to treat this disease. …”

Evaluation of virus CD4/CCR5 utilization using Affinofile cells. by Yiying Zhang (198443)

The NG50 of ccTSA on datasets from 4 organisms with different sequence coverage and k-mer values. by Jung Ho Ahn (157844)

“…The k-mer values were varied from 19 to 35 on 36 bp data and from 37 to 73 on 76 bp data. In most datasets, NG50 values increased then decreased as we increased the k-mer values. …”
