An Analysis of the Effects of Crash Factors and Precrash Actions on Side Impact Crashes at Unsignalized Intersections by Emmanuel Kofi Adanu, Xiaobing Li, Jun Liu, Steven Jones

“…It was observed that side impact crashes that occurred under daylight conditions at four-way intersections, for instance, were less likely to involve running a stop sign but more likely to involve failure to yield at the stop sign and failure to yield right-of-way at a turn, but under dark and unlit roadway conditions, the at-fault drivers were more likely to run a stop sign or fail to yield at a stop sign but less likely to be involved in failure to yield right-of-way at a turn. This approach to injury severity analysis uncovers complex underlying relationships between precrash actions, other contributing factors, and crash outcomes.…”

IL-6-mediated MHC class II induction on RIN-5AH insulinoma cells by IFN-γ occurs via the G-protein pathway by S. Vassiliadis, G. K. Papadopoulos

“…Other cytokines such as IL-1α and β, and TNF-α induce a smaller increase in MHC class II antigens on RIN cells, and appear to activate both the G-protein and the PKC signal transduction pathways to varying degrees. Therefore, injury of pancreatic β-cells and possible induction of autoimmune type 1 diabetes via various cytokines may be caused by IL-6 or IFN-γ, or by their ability to induce MHC class II antigen upregulation.…”
