LOCALIZATION OF ACETYLCHOLINE, ALPHA 7-NACHR AND THE ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDE PISCIDIN 1 IN THE MACROPHAGES OF FISH GUT: EVIDENCE FOR A CHOLINERGIC SYSTEM, DIVERSE MACROPHAGE POPULATIONS AND POLARIZATION OF IMMUNE RESPONSES

The recognition and elimination of invading pathogens are vital for host survival.Macrophages play a central role in host protection and cells functionally reminiscent of vertebrate macrophages are present in all multicellular organisms.A pattern responsible for bacterial recognition found on the surface of macrophages is CD14.These cells possess a

Posterior mediastinal enterogenous cyst is a rare entity in neonate.The neonate can present with severe cardio-respiratory compromise in the form of respiratory distress, shock, cardiac Blast Chillers failure or arrhythmia soon after birth which may require immediate surgical intervention.Antenatal screening can demonstrate the cystic mass in fetus

Abstract This paper tackles a recent challenge in patrol image processing on how to improve the identification accuracy for power component, especially for the scenarios including many interference objects.Our proposed method can fully use the patrol image information from live work, and it is thus different from traditional power component identif

Developmental abnormalities of airways may impact susceptibility to asthma in later life.We used a maternal hypoxia-induced mouse model of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) to examine changes in mechanical properties of the airway wall.Pregnant BALB/c mice were housed under hypoxic conditions (10.5% O2) from gestational day (GD) 11 to GD LIVER
