Anemia is a frequent and challenging complication of mycobacterial infections. We used a model of disseminated Mycobacterium avium infection in mice to investigate the mechanisms of mycobacteria-induced anemia. We found increased formation of RBC in the bone marrow and spleen of infected mice. Infection induced reticulocytosis and the premature egress of immature progenitors to the systemic circulation in an IFN-γ (IFNG)-dependent way. The newly formed RBC had reduced CD47 surface expression and ...

Prion (PrP) and amyloid-beta (Abeta) peptides are involved in the neuronal loss that occurs in Prion disorders (PrD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), respectively, partially due to Ca(2+) dysregulation. Besides, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress has an active role in the neurotoxic mechanisms that lead to these pathologies. Here, we analyzed whether the ER-mediated apoptotic pathway is involved in the toxic effect of synthetic PrP and Abeta peptides. In PrP106-126- and Abeta1-40-treated cortical neurons, ...

A unique feature of plant aspartic proteinase precursors is the presence of an internal domain, known as plant-specific insert, whose function is not completely understood. The three-dimensional structure of the plant-specific insert resembles that of saposin-like proteins, a group of lipid-binding proteins involved in a variety of physiological processes. Here we show that recombinant plant-specific insert is able to interact with phospholipid vesicles and to induce leakage of their contents in ...

ABSTRACT The establishment of mycobacterial infection is characterized by the formation of granulomas, which are well-organized aggregates of immune cells, namely, infected macrophages. The granuloma's main function is to constrain and prevent dissemination of the mycobacteria while focusing the immune response to a limited area. In some cases these lesions can grow progressively into large granulomas which can undergo central necrosis, thereby leading to their caseation. Macrophages are the most ...

Most antidepressant agents have the potential to cause liver injury, even at therapeutic doses. Nevertheless, drug-induced liver injury (DILI) from antidepressant agents is a rare event. There is no way to prevent idiopathic DILI, but the severity of the reaction may be minimized with prompt recognition and early withdrawal of the agent. We describe a rare case of a 63-year-old man presenting with acute liver failure after 3 months of trazodone and diazepam administration at normal therapeutic doses, ...

However, efforts are still lacking to systematically review the state of the art of this new wave of industrial revolution. In the second decade of the 21st century, the rapid proliferation of technology and the intensification of global competition created a sense of urgency for governments of developed and developing countries to engage in a major industrial revitalization, leading to ...

Fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) have previously found many applications as strain and vibration sensors. Here we demonstrate that they may also be employed as pickups for musical instruments and, specifically, for acoustic guitars and solid-body electric guitars. By fixing the FBG to a vibrating part of the instrument's body, e.g., near the bridge of an acoustic guitar or on the headstock of a solid-body guitar, a number of sound recordings were made and compared to those obtained with either piezoelectric ...

Polyferrocenylsilane microspheres are readily formed under mild reaction conditions. Chemical oxidation leads to positively charged particles that undergo electrostatic self-assembly with smaller negatively charged silica microspheres, which leads to composite superstructures (see Figure), whereas pyrolysis leads to spherical magnetic ceramics that self-organize into two-dimensional arrays in a magnetic field.

The legislative changes in coach education occurred mainly due to the harmonisation of the ...

Transition metal (PtII or Pt0) catalyzed ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of silicon-bridged [1]ferrocenophanes has been found to permit simple and convenient control of the regiostructure, molecular weight, and architecture of poly(ferrocenes). Whereas thermal ROP of the unsymmetrical silicon-bridged [1]ferrocenophane Fe(η-C5H4)(η-C5Me4)SiMe2 (3) at 150 °C proceeds via a nonselective cleavage of the Si−CpH and Si−CpMe bonds (CpH = η-C5H4, CpMe = η-C5Me4) to yield an amorphous, regioirregular poly(ferrocenylsilane), ...

Alcoholysis of the bicyclic anhydride product of BIIR dehydrobromination/MAn cycloaddition is used to produce an IIR-g-PE copolymer in low yield. An alternate ...
