Genetic Factors in Animal Models of Intestinal Inflammation by R Balfour Sartor

“…Inbred Lewis rats challenged by purified bacterial cell wall polymers, indomethacin or small bowel bacterial overgrowth develop chronic granulomatous intestinal inflammation with fibrosis and extraintestinal manifestations, whereas Fischer (major histocompatibility complex identical to Lewis) and Buffalo rats identically stimulated demonstrate only self-limited enterocolitis with no chronic inflammation, fibrosis, granulomas or extraintestinal inflammation. …”

Prolonged Pediatric Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support with Cardiopulmonary Failure in Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia by Maris Bartkevics, Bert Hennig, Tayfun Gungor, Roland Ammann, Alexander Kadner

“…However, these patients are at increased risk for early death secondary to pulmonary complications due to leukostasis, direct pulmonary infiltration with WBC, and systemic inflammatory response syndrome following malignant cell lysis. Despite the high risk of complications, ECMO support must be discussed as part of management, providing better outcome in this group of patients.…”

PPAR𝜸 and Oxidative Stress: Con(𝜷) Catenating NRF2 and FOXO by Simone Polvani, Mirko Tarocchi, Andrea Galli

“…Recent experimental pieces of evidence demonstrate that PPARγ is implicated in the oxidative stress response, an imbalance between antithetic prooxidation and antioxidation forces that may lead the cell to apoptotic or necrotic death. In this delicate and intricate game of equilibrium, PPARγ stands out as a central player devoted to the quenching and containment of the damage and to foster cell survival. …”

Feedback bit allocation in distributed antenna array systems by Shuai ZHANG, Peng PAN, Cui WANG

“…In a frequency division duplex communication system,precoding at the base station usually requires terminal feedback channel state information.In a distributed array system,the channel conditions between the terminal and different access nodes in the cell are different because multiple access nodes are arranged at different locations in the cell.When the resources for feedback channel state information are limited,the allocation method of feedback bit needs to be optimized to improve the overall performance of the system.In a multi-user distributed array system,an access node selection method based on distance threshold was adopted.Based on this method,the quantization characteristics of the random vector quantization codebook and the Taylor expansion method were used to derive the system quantization capacity loss,and then an approximate expression was given.Based on this expression,a feedback bit allocation method was proposed.Compared with other allocation methods,the method of this paper was more universal because it did not limit the number of access nodes selected by the user.The simulation results show that the strategy proposed is superior to the traditional equal-bit allocation scheme and can obtain better performance when the feedback resources are limited.…”
