GENOTYPIC AND PHENOTYPIC CHARACTERISTICS OF MORAXELLA CATARRHALIS FROM PATIENTS AND HEALTHY ASYMPTOMATIC PARTICIPANTS AMONG PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Genotypic and Phenotypic Characteristics of Moraxella catarrhalis from Patients and Healthy Asymptomatic Participants among Preschool Children

(1) Background: M.catarrhalis can ascend into the middle ear, where it is a Windows - Guides prevalent causative agent of otitis media in children, or enter the lower respiratory tract, where it is associated with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP).In this study, we aimed to provide an overview of the prevalence of M.catarrhalis in preschool childr

Exosomes derived from M2 macrophages prevent steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head by modulating inflammation, promoting bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption

Abstract Inflammatory reactions are involved in the development of steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head(ONFH).Studies have explored the therapeutic efficacy of inhibiting inflammatory reactions in steroid-induced ONFH and revealed that inhibiting inflammation may be a new strategy for preventing the development of steroid-induced ONFH.

Seam-Carving forgery detection based on expanded Markov features

To deal with the digital image forgery using Seam-Carving, a detection algorithm based on expanded Markov features Cruiser was proposed.The algorithm takes full acount of the image frequency domain change caused by Seam-Carving operation, merges the features based on traditional and expands Markov transfer-probability matrix.Trained by SVM, the mer
