Approximation of SDEs: a stochastic sewing approach.

We give a new take on the error analysis of approximations of stochastic differential equations (SDEs), utilizing and developing the stochastic sewing lemma of Lê (Electron J Probab 25:55, 2020. 10.1214/20-EJP442).

Migration and chemiluminescence of polymorphonuclear cells and monocytes to Bacteroides sonicates.

Recent investigations have demonstrated that various preparations obtained from representatives of the genus Bacteroides are poorly phagocytized by polymorphonuclear cells (PMN) and macrophages. Crude cell sonicates derived from Bacteroides have been examined for their ability to inhibit migration of PMN and monocytes using a modified migration under agarose in vitro assay. B.

Cytotoxic and immunostimulatory effects of Bacteroides cell products.

The etiologic role of Bacteroides in both periodontal and periapical infections has been well documented, with current interest focusing on the specific pathogenic mechanisms involved. The effects of cell fractions derived from Bacteroides gingivalis (BG), Bacteroides intermedius (BI), and Bacteroides asaccharolyticus (BA) have been studied in vitro through: an assessment of the direct cytotoxic effects on human gingival fibroblasts using a tetrazolium dye reduction assay, an evaluation of murine lymphocyte stimulation and interleukin-1 release, and the induction of human lymphocyte-mediated cytotoxicity. Both BG and BI stimulated interleukin-1 release (P less than 0.

Blastogenic response of human lymphocytes to antigens of Rothia dentocariosa.

Peripheral blood lymphocytes were isolated from 20 individuals with varying degrees of periodontal health and classified as either normal, having acute gingivitis (GV), or chronic periodontitis (PD). Crude cell wall and cytoplasmic antigens were derived from Rothia dentocariosa (RD), were applied to lymphocyte microcultures, and subjected to radioactive thymidine; the resulting lymphocyte blastogenesis (LB) was surveyed with a scintillation counter. All three groups displayed statistically similar levels of stimulation (F = 0.
