Dengue Virus Infection Causes the Activation of Distinct NF-κB Pathways for Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase and TNF-α Expression in RAW264.7 Cells by Yi-Lin Cheng, Yee-Shin Lin, Chia-Ling Chen, Shu-Wen Wan, Yi-Dan Ou, Chia-Yi Yu, Tsung-Ting Tsai, Po-Chun Tseng, Chiou-Feng Lin

“…Infection with dengue virus (DENV) causes an increase in proinflammatory responses, such as nitric oxide (NO) generation and TNF-α expression; however, the molecular mechanism underlying this inflammatory activation remains undefined, although the activation of the transcription factor NF-κB is generally involved. In addition to TNF-α production in DENV-infected murine macrophage RAW264.7 cells, inducible NO synthase was transcriptionally and posttranslationally elevated and accompanied by NO generation. …”

Fractional Theoretical Model for Gravity Waves and Squall Line in Complex Atmospheric Motion by Liguo Chen, Liangui Yang

“…This paper theoretically proves that the formation of squall line in baroclinic nonstatic equilibrium atmosphere can be reduced to the fission process of algebraic gravity solitary waves described by the (2 + 1)-dimensional generalized Boussinesq-BO (B-BO) equation. Compared with previous models describing isolated waves, the Boussinesq-BO model can describe the propagation process of waves in two media, which is more suitable for actual atmospheric conditions. …”
