Intracellular complement activation in podocytes aggravates immune kidney injury in trichloroethylene-sensitized mice.

Trichloroethylene (TCE) as a common organic solvent in industrial production can cause occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis (OMDT) in some exposed workers. In addition to systemic skin damage, OMDT is also accompanied by severe kidney injury. Our previous studies show that complement (C) plays an important role in immune kidney injury caused by TCE.

Oxidative stress mediates renal endothelial cell damage in trichloroethylene-sensitized mice.

The purpose of this study was to explore whether renal endothelial cell injury is associated with oxidative stress in trichloroethylene (TCE)-induced immune kidney damage by detecting adhesion molecules and oxidative stress indexes. In this study, a mouse model of skin sensitization with the antioxidant Tempol was used to explore the mechanism. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cre), and histological examination were used for kidney function evaluation.

NF-κB signaling pathway-enhanced complement activation mediates renal injury in trichloroethylene-sensitized mice.

Both NF-κB pathway and complement activation appear to be involved in kidney damage induced by trichloroethylene (TCE). However, any relationship between these two systems has not yet been established. The present study aimed to clarify the role of NF-κB in complement activation and renal injury in TCE-sensitized BALB/c mice.

Viral mimic polyinosine-polycytidylic acid potentiates liver injury in trichloroethylene-sensitized mice - Viral-chemical interaction as a novel mechanism.

Occupational trichloroethylene (TCE) exposure can induce hypersensitivity dermatitis and severe liver injury. Recently, several clinical investigations indicate that viral infection, such as human herpesvirus-6, is associated with hepatic dysfunction in patients with TCE-related generalized skin disorders. However, whether viral infection potentiates TCE-induced liver injury remains unknown.

Lattice structure for generalized-support multidimensional linear phase perfect reconstruction filter bank.

Multidimensional linear phase perfect reconstruction filter bank (MDLPPRFB) can be designed and implemented via lattice structure. The lattice structure for the MDLPPRFB with filter support N(MΞ) has been published by Muramatsu , where M is the decimation matrix, Ξ is a positive integer diagonal matrix, and N(N) denotes the set of integer vectors in the fundamental parallelepiped of the matrix N. Obviously, if Ξ is chosen to be other positive diagonal matrices instead of only positive integer ones, the corresponding lattice structure would provide more choices of filter banks, offering better trade-off between filter support and filter performance.

Construction of arbitrary dimensional biorthogonal multiwavelet using lifting scheme.

This paper focuses on the construction of multidimensional biorthogonal multiwavelets and the perfect reconstruction multifilter banks. Based on the Hermite-Neville filter, two lifting structures have been proposed and systematically investigated, and a general design framework has been developed for building biorthogonal multiwavelets and Hermite interpolation filter banks with any multiplicity for any lattice in any dimension with any number of primal and dual vanishing moments. The construction is an important generalization of the Neville-based lifting scheme and inherits all of the advantages of lifting schemes such as fast transform, in-place computation and integer-to-integer transforms.
