Correlation of Surface Toll-Like Receptor 9 Expression with IL-17 Production in Neutrophils during Septic Peritonitis in Mice Induced by E. coli by Yunjia Ren, Li Hua, Xiuping Meng, Yue Xiao, Xu Hao, Sheng Guo, Peiyan Zhao, Luowei Wang, Boqi Dong, Yongli Yu, Liying Wang

“…To study the relationship of sTLR9 and IL-17 in PMNs during bacterial infection, we infected mice with E. coli intraperitoneally to establish a septic peritonitis model for studying the PMNs response in peritoneal cavity. We found that PMNs and some of “giant cells” were massively accumulated in the peritoneal cavity of mice with fatal septic peritonitis induced by E. coli. …”

EVALUATION OF THE HEATING SYSTEM FROM AN INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE by LUMINITA BIBIRE, NARCIS BARSAN

“…The process of injection includes two distinctive phases, firstly, when the melting occurs, followed by the homogenisation and the creation of pressure; the process takes place in the plasticizing unity; coming next being the second phase that consists in the forming of the producs, in the cavity of the matrix. Regarding the main factors, the purpose of this paper was insuring a thermic regime as uniform as possible in order to obtain an appropriate plastifying process. …”
