iNOs expression is stimulated by the major surface protein (rWSP) from Wolbachia bacterial endosymbiont of Dirofilaria immitis following subcutaneous injection in mice
No full textThe bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia of several species of filarial nematodes plays an important role in the inflammatory pathology of filariasis. Nitric oxide (NO) production has also been implicated in the immune response during filarial infections. Here we present data indicating that a recombinant Wolbachia surface protein (rWSP) induces iNOs mRNA expression and NO production, as well as IFN-γ and a Th1-type antibody response, in inoculated BALB/c mice. This effect is not observed when mice are inoculated with a recombinant heat shock protein from Wolbachia (GroEL)
Wolbachia and its implications for the immunopathology of filariasis
No full textFilarial infections are characterized by immunopathological phenomena, that are responsible for the onset of often dramatic pathological outcomes, such as blindness (Onchocerca volvulus) and elephantiasis (W. bancrofti). In addition, the long-term survival (as long as 10 years) of these parasites in otherwise immunocompetent hosts indicates that these nematodes are capable of manipulating the host immune response. The ground-breaking discovery of the bacterial endosymbiont Wolbachia, which resides in most filarial nematodes causing disease, has led to increasing interest in the role it may play in immuno-modulation, pro-inflammatory pathology and other aspects of filarial infection. Indeed, Wolbachia has been shown to be responsible for exacerbating inflammation (as in river blindness), while at the same time blocking efficient elimination of parasites through the host immune response (Onchocerca ochengi). While studies aimed at identifying Wolbachia as a potential target for anti-filarial therapy are at the forefront of current research, understanding its role in the immunology of filarial infection is a fascinating field that has yet to uncover many secrets
Interacting artificial surf reefs
No full textWave surfing is existing and becoming more attractive in the Netherlands. However natural wave conditions are not suited to encourage the sport. To improve the surf conditions of the local waves, Artificial Surf Reefs are potential solutions. As a part of intentions to optimise the design of Artificial Surf Reefs, this thesis is aimed at gaining insight into the wave-induced circulations and the wave-current interactions around an artificial reef. Impacts of the channel width on these processes were assessed by varying the width of the channel. Several surf-ability parameters were measured or observed to verify the performance of the proposed design. The surface currents on either side of the reef show a decrease in intensities and dimensions resulting in less intense wave-current interactions around the structure. It was found that rip currents with a Froude number smaller than 0.1 do not cause negative impact on the breaker shapes.Civil Engineering and Geoscience
袁桷作品對琴史的總體貢獻
No full textYuan Jue (1266-1327), courtesy name Bochang, pseudonym Qing Rong Jushi (Retired Scholar of Refined Demeanor), was one of the most distinguished scholars during Yuan dynasty, his biography record can be found in the 172nd chapter of the official biographies in the History of Yuan Dynasty. To understand Yuan Jue’s knowledge of Qin, is possible to refer to some of his works concerning different aspects of Qin tablatures, schools, masters of the Northern and Southern Song periods. Yuan Jue makes some special remarks on the original source of some melodies played during his own time, pointing out the effective contributions of some of the most relevant Qin masters during Southern Song Dynasty in the formation of the so-called Zhe School, underlining his doubts and believes, especially over master Yang Zuan, the author the Zi Xia Dong tablatures (now lost). According to Yuan Jue, some of the melodies collected in the Zi Xia Dong pu where not made Yang Zuan himself: after some comparisons, he discovered that the Cai Shi wunong (Five melodies by Cai [Yong]) were mostly identical to the same tablature transmitted by Zhang Yan from Southern Song Dynasty. The famous Qin player Guo Chuwang has been a hanger-on of Zhang Yan’s household; after receiving the tablatures collected by Zhang himself, he underwent a further reassembling and passed them down to later generations, till Yuan Jue’s days. Yuan Jue displays deep respect towards Zhang Yan and Guo Chuwang contributions (Yuan Jue also wrote two poems on Qin melodies written by Guo Chuwang), and the main aim of his texts on Qin is evidently to clarify and attest the real importance and influence of his past masters
