Animal models of endocrine/organ-specific autoimmune diseases: do they really help us to understand human autoimmunity?

Organ-specific or endocrine autoimmune diseases are complex, polygenic afflictions the penetrance of which is heavily dependent on various environmental influences. Important target tissues are the thyroid, the islets of Langerhans, gastric parietal cells and steroid-producing cells in the adrenal and ovary. The etiology of these diseases remains to be clarified. The pathogenesis is strongly assoc

The treatment of Haemophilus influenzae acute otitis media with amoxicillin protects against reinfection but not against structural changes

Protein D of Haemophilus influenzae: a protective nontypeable H. influenzae antigen and a carrier for pneumococcal conjugate vaccines.

Protein D (PD) is a highly conserved 42 kDa surface lipoprotein found in all Haemophilus influenzae, including nontypeable (NT) H. influenzae. PD is involved in the pathogenesis of respiratory tract infections, in the context of which it has been shown to impair ciliary function in a human nasopharyngeal tissue culture model and to augment the capacity to cause otitis media in rats. A likely mecha

The Names of the Dnieper Rapids in Chapter 9 of Constantine Porphyrogenitus’ De administrando imperio

New interpretations are given for [ν]Έσσουπῆ ‘watching’, ‘the guard’; Ἀειφὸρ ‘the ever-shallow rapids’; βαρουφόροϛ – βουλνηπράχ ‘the bare rapids; Λεάντι, βερούτζ ‘the violently rushing rapids’. Στρούκουν has a Greek ending and is not a dative plural. Ναστρεζή is a collective formation with a diminutive sense. Both names mean ‘the small rapids’. The reduced vowels are not manifested in these name

Mixed Protein Carriers for Modulating DNA Release

Aqueous mixtures of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes undergo associative phase separation, resulting in coacervation, gelation, or precipitation. This phenomenon has been exploited in forming DNA gel particles by interfacial diffusion. We report here the formation of DNA gel particles by mixing solutions of double-stranded DNA with aqueous solutions containing two cationic proteins, lysozyme an

Participation in Green Consumer Policies: Deliberative Democracy under the Wrong Conditions?

In policy debates about reducing environmental and social harms, political consumerism is often called for by actors from a broad political spectrum. This paper examines traits of deliberative democracy in cases where instruments of political consumerism (eco-labelling, certificates and standards) are developed. The empirical cases are processes surrounding eco-labelled, standardised forestry, foo

Cyclodextrins in hydrophobically modified poly(ethylene glycol) solutions: Inhibition of polymer-polymer associations

in an aqueous solution of a hydrophobically, end-modified poly(ethylene glycol) polymer, HM-PEG, the thickening effect is dependent on intermolecular hydrophobic associations and the formation of a network structure. In the present investigation cyclodextrin, CD, has been added to an aqueous HM-PEG solution and a decrease in Newtonian viscosity has been followed. The decreased viscosity refers to
