    Every symmetric Kubo-Ando connection has the order-determining property on B(H)\mathcal B(H)

    In \cite{molnar} L.~Molnar studied the question of whether the L\"owner partial order on the positive cone of an operator algebra is determined by the norm of any arbitrary Kubo-Ando mean. He affirmatively answered the question for certain classes of Kubo-Ando means and left as an open problem the general case. We here give an answer to this question, by showing that the norm of every symmetric Kubo-Ando mean σ\sigma on B(H)\mathcal B(H) is order-determining, i.e. if A, B\in \mathcal B(H)^{{\sss{++}}} satisfy AσXBσX\Vert A\sigma X\Vert \le \Vert B\sigma X\Vert for every X\in \mathcal B(H)^{\sss{++}}, then ABA\le B

    In this paper we prove a mixed weighted Strichartz inequality for the solution of Klein Gordon Equation with potential mass In 3D space, the potential is a Holder continuous and non-negative, vanishing at infinity like x3x^{-3}

    Electric foot-shock stress drives TNF-alpha production in the liver of IL-6-deficient mice

    No full text
    Objectives: Accumulating evidence has shown that interleukin-6 (IL-6) has pleiotropic effects on a variety of biological functions, including its antiapoptotic potential during liver injury. Our previous work demonstrated that restraint stress-induced elevation of plasma IL-6 negatively regulates plasma tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Herein, we further clarified the mechanism underlying the above finding and investigated the effect of IL-6 on liver apoptosis triggered by stress. Methods: Male C57BL/6J and IL-6-deficient C57BL/SV129 mice were exposed to 1 h of electric foot-shock stress. Thereafter, the serum, liver and spleen TNF-alpha levels were measured at several time points. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT), liver caspase-3 and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling ( TUNEL) activities were analyzed to evaluate the severity of liver injury and apoptosis. Results: The liver, but not the spleen, of the IL-6-deficient mice exhibited a significant increase in TNF-alpha level after stress in parallel with serum TNF-alpha elevation, whereas no such TNF-alpha responses were found in the wild animals. No significant differences in stress-induced elevation of serum ALT levels, liver caspase-3 activities and the number of TUNEL-positive hepatocytes were found between the wild and IL-6-deficient mice. Conclusions: Taken together, these results indicate that IL-6 may play a critical role in suppressing TNF-alpha production in the liver, thereby decreasing the blood TNF-alpha level. In contrast, IL-6 secretion was shown to have no protective effect on stress-triggered liver injury. Copyright (C) 2004 S. Karger AG, Basel
