Association between CD20 T lymphocytes and neuropsychological findings in multiple sclerosis.

Background And Purpose: CD20 T lymphocytes are a subset of circulating T cells presenting the CD20 receptor, a molecular marker of B lineage. CD20 T lymphocytes are thought to play a pivotal role in multiple sclerosis (MS) pathology, especially at progressive stages. We aimed to investigate the correlation between CD20 T lymphocytes and neuropsychological features (i.

Long-term effectiveness and safety of XEN45 in open-angle glaucoma patients.

Background: To investigate the long-term effectiveness and safety of XEN45 implant, either alone or in combination with phacoemulsification, in eyes with open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

Methods: Retrospective and single center study conducted on consecutive OAG patients who underwent a XEN45 implant between February-2017 and December-2021. The primary endpoint was the mean intraocular pressure (IOP) lowering from preoperative values.

Contribution of the Type III Secretion System (T3SS2) of in Mitochondrial Stress in Human Intestinal Cells.

is an important human pathogen that is currently the leading cause of shellfish-borne gastroenteritis in the world. Particularly, the pandemic strain has the capacity to induce cytotoxicity and enterotoxicity through its Type 3 Secretion System (T3SS2) that leads to massive cell death. However, the specific mechanism by which the T3SS2 induces cell death remains unclear and its contribution to mitochondrial stress is not fully understood.

Characterization of Antibiotic-Resistance Antarctic That Produce Bacteriocin-like Compounds.

In this study, bacterial isolates C1-4-7, D2-4-6, and M1-4-11 from Antarctic soil were phenotypically and genotypically characterized, and their antibacterial spectrum and that of cell-free culture supernatant were investigated. Finally, the effect of temperature and culture medium on the production of antimicrobial compounds was investigated. The three bacteria were identified as different strains of the genus .
