MONITORING OF THE PARASITE LOAD IN THE DIGESTIVE TRACT OF RHODNIUS PROLIXUS BY COMBINED QPCR ANALYSIS AND IMAGING TECHNIQUES PROVIDES NEW INSIGHTS INTO THE TRYPANOSOME LIFE CYCLE.

Here we report the monitoring of the digestive tract colonization of Rhodnius prolixus by Trypanosoma cruzi using an accurate determination of the parasite load by qPCR coupled with fluorescence and bioluminescence imaging (BLI).These complementary methods revealed critical steps necessary for the parasite population to colonize the insect gut and

Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) and Exendin-4 (EX-4) play beneficial roles in promoting periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) osteogenic differentiation, while the detailed mechanism has not been clarified.In this study, we aimed to evaluate the biological mechanism of SDF-1 and EX-4 alone or synergistic application in regulating PDLSCs di

Abstract The work intends to relieve the pressure on the Trash Bin urban medical system and reduce the cross-infection of personnel in major public health emergencies.On the premise of an in-depth analysis of the utility risk entropy algorithm model and prospect theory, the decision-making of major health emergencies is proposed.Firstly, the utilit

This study aims to investigate the effect of changing skins material on the strength of sandwich plates with circular hole when subjected to mechanical loads.Theoretical, numerical and experimental analyses are done for sandwich plates with hole and with two face sheet materials.Theoretical analysis is performed by using sandwich plate theory which
