Research on Influence of Different Simulation Methods of Bypass Flow in Thermal Hydraulic Analysis on Temperature Distribution in HTR-10 by Shiyan Sun, Youjie Zhang, Yanhua Zheng

“…The temperature distribution of the central region in the pebble bed is affected by the bypass flow positions slightly, while that of the peripheral area is affected significantly. The maximum temperature of the helium, the surface, and center of the fuel elements rises as the bypass flow ratio becomes larger, while the temperature difference between them almost keeps constant. …”

Biologic Agents in Crohn’s Patients Reduce CD4+ T Cells Activation and Are Inversely Related to Treg Cells by Eliane Aparecida Rosseto-Welter, Leticia D’argenio-Garcia, Filipa Blasco Tavares Pereira Lopes, Ana Eduarda Zulim Carvalho, Fernando Flaquer, Vanessa Severo-Lemos, Claudia Concer Viero Nora, Flavio Steinwurz, Lucas Pires Garcia Oliveria, Thiago Aloia, Luiz Vicente Rizzo, Cristóvão Luis Pitangueira Mangueira, Karina Inacio Carvalho

“…Patients that underwent biological therapy can recover the percentage of CD4+CD73+ T cells, decrease the CD4+ T cell activation/effector functions, and maintain the peripheral percentage of regulatory T cells. These results show that anti-TNF agents can improve CD4+ T cell subsets, thereby inducing Crohn’s patients to relapse and remission rates.…”

HIV and the Gut Microbiota, Partners in Crime: Breaking the Vicious Cycle to Unearth New Therapeutic Targets by Kishanda Vyboh, Mohammad-Ali Jenabian, Vikram Mehraj, Jean-Pierre Routy

“…This virus is capable of drastically altering the immune system and gastrointestinal environment leading to significant changes to the gut microbiota and mucosal permeability resulting in microbial translocation from the gut into the peripheral blood. The changes made locally in the gut have far-reaching consequences on the other organs of the body starting in the liver, where microbes and their products are normally filtered out, and extending to the blood and even brain. …”
