IL-6 and IL-10 are known to be inflammatory cytokines that mediate host response to invading microorganisms or pathogenic antigen. But the roles of these cytokines in pulpal inflammation are not well established. The objective of this study was to investigate the concentrations and the roles of IL-6 and IL-10 in the pulpal inflammation associated with gram-negative bacteria, P. nigrescens. We exposed the pulps of rat mandibular incisors and inserted sterile cotton in control groups and inoculated P. nigrescens in experimental groups.(omitted)

An important recent advance in the field of plant-microbe interactions has been the cloning of genes that confer resistance to specific viruses, bacteria, fungi or insects. Disease resistance (R) genes encode proteins with predicted structural motifs consistent with them having roles in signal recognition and transduction. Plant disease resistance is the result of an innate host defense mechanism, which relies on the ability of plant to recognize pathogen invasion and efficiently mount defense responses. In tomato, resistance to the pathogen Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato is mediated by the specific recognition between the tomato serine/threonine kinase Pto and bacterial protein AvrPto or AvrPtoB. This recognition event initiates signaling events that lead to defense responses including an oxidative burst, the hypersensitive response (HR), and expression of pathogenesis- related genes.

The bending vibration and thermal flutter instability of spacecraft booms modeled as circular thin-walled beams of closed cross-section and subjected to thermal radiation loading is investigated in this paper. Thermally induced vibration response characteristics of a composite thin walled beam exhibiting the circumferantially uniform system(CUS) configuration are exploited in connection with the structural flapwise bending-lagwise bending coupling resulting from directional properties of fiber reinforced composite materials and from ply stacking sequence. The numerical simulations display deflection time-history as a function of the ply-angle of fibers of the composite materials, damping factor, incident angle of solar heat flux, as well as the boundary of the thermal flutter instability domain. The adaptive control are provided by a system of piezoelectric devices whose sensing and actuating functions are combined and that an bonded or embedded into the host structure.

Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) is caused by the obligate intracellular bacterium Anaplasma (A.) phagocytophilum. Natural killer T (NKT) cells are key players in host defense against various microbial infections. We investigated the role of NKT cells in immune response to A. phagocytophilum infection using NKT-knockout ($J\alpha$18-/-) mice. $J\alpha$18-/- and wild-type (WT) mice were infected with low-passage A. phagocytophilum and assayed for hepatic histopathology and cytokine production during 7 days post-infection. Compared to WT controls, the infected $J\alpha$18 -/- mice had much less histopathologic lesions and less apoptosis through day 7, and lower concentrations of ${IFN\gamma}$ and IL- 12, but not of IL-10. This result suggests that NKT cells are major components in the pathogenesis of HGA.

Nitric oxide (NO), products of activated macrophages, have a great impact on the regulation of cytokine production. The role of NO in non-specific host cells is commonly accepted. On the contrary, its role as an immuno-regulatory molecule is still controversial. In this study, we have investigated the effect of NO on the production of cytokines from murine splenocytes and macrophages. S-nitroso-L-glutathione inhibited the release of both interferone-$\gamma$ and interleukin-2 produced by Th1 cells and tumor necrosis factor-$\alpha$ and interleukin-1$\beta$ produced by macrophages, but did not affect the release of interleukin-4 and interleukin-10 produced by Th2 cells. These results suggest that NO exerts a down-regulatory effect on the secretion of cytokines from Th1 cells and macrophages which are implicated in immune response. Thus, NO may have an important role as an immune-modulatory as well as effector molecule in the immune system.

인삼은 극동지역에서 잘알려진 민간약이다. 주 효능중 한가지인 감염에 대한 숙주 저항성의 증진은 면역작용에 미치는 영향에 따라 좌우될 수 있다. 우리가 제시한 이 연구는 한국인삼의 뿌리에서 추출한 추출물을 가지고 행하였다. 이 추출물의 면역학적 활성은 시험관내에서, ???고 생쥐와 사람을 이용한 생체내 실험으로 조사되었다. 사람을 이용한 이중맹검시험에서 얻어진 결과는 사람의 과립구를 이용한 시험관내 실험과 생쥐를 이용한 생체 실험에서 얻어진 결과에 의하여 뒷받침 되었다. 즉 인삼 추출물은 유의성 있는 면역촉진 작용을 나타냈다.

The immune system of mammals includes a complex array of cells and molecules, which interact to provide protection from pathogenic microorganisms. The beneficial role played by lactic acid bacteria and milk-derived peptide in the humans, including the effects on the immune system, has been extensively reported. They are present in dairy products and are frequently used as nutraceuticals to some improve some biological functions in the host. The activation of the systemic and secretory immune response by lactic acid bacteria and milk-derived peptide requires many complex interactions among th different constituents of the intestinal ecosystem. The aim of this review was to make the point about the immunological potential of lactic acid bacteria and milk-derived peptide.

It has been demonstrated that multipotent neuronal progenitor cells can be isolated from the developing or adult CNS and proliferated in vitro in response to epidermal growth factor. The present study was undertaken to investigate the differentiation of neuronal progenitor cells after transplantation into the neonatal rat forebrain striatum. Primary cultured progenitor cells were labeled with 3,3'-dioctadecycloxacarbonyl- amine perchlorate (DiO). DiO labeled progenitor cells were implanted into neonatal rat striatum. Implanted DiO labeled progenitor cells were differentiated into astrocytes and GABAergic neurons. These results suggest that implanted progenitor cells can be differentiated into neurons in host forebrain striatum. In addition, our data show that DiO labeling is a useful technique for tracing implanted progenitor cells.

Citrus scab disease is one of the destructive diseases that reduce the value of fruit for the fresh market. We analyzed the process of symptom development after infection with scab pathogen $Elsino{\ddot{e}}$ fawcettii in the susceptible satsuma mandarin leaves to observe the structural modification against pathogen. The cuticle and epidermal cells along with 3-5 layers of mesophyll tissue were degraded 1-2 days post inoculation. Surrounding peripheral cells of degraded tissues grew rapidly and then enveloped the necrotic area along with the growing conidia. Cross sections through the lesion revealed hyphal colonization in epidermis and mesophyll tissues. In response to the pathogen colonization, host cell walls were lignified, inner cells were rapidly compartmentalized and a semi-circular boundary was formed that separated the infected region from the non-infected region, and finally prevented the intercellular pathogen spread.
