Syngeneic and nude mice were injected intraperitoneally with saline, empty microcapsules, aggregates of tumourogenic MO4 cells, encapsulated non-tumourogenic MO cells and encapsulated MO4 cells. The host reaction 4 days after injection, was evaluated by counting the leucocytes in the peritoneal cavity and the cells sticking to recovered microcapsules. A significantly lower number of peritoneal leucocytes was found in mice injected with empty microcapsules or encapsulated MO cells as compared with encapsulated MO4 cells. Histological evaluation showed a significantly higher number of cells sticking to microcapsules containing cells as compared with empty microcapsules. These observations showed that the cellular host reaction against intraperitoneal implants can be evaluated by counting the leucocytes in the peritoneal lavage and histology of recovered capsules.

Purpose: This multicenter study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics and factors associated with specific viral pathogens in patients with acute retinal necrosis (ARN).
Methods: A retrospective multicenter cohort study included ARN patients who underwent aqueous or vitreous polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing. Multivariable mixed-effects Poisson regression was used to identify factors associated with viral pathogens.

The family has seen an explosive expansion in its host range in recent years, yet the evolutionary trajectory of this zoonotic pathogen remains largely unknown. The emergence of rat hepatitis E virus (HEV) has introduced a new public health threat due to its potential for zoonotic transmission. This study investigated 2 464 wild small mammals spanning four animal orders, eight families, 21 genera, and 37 species in Yunnan Province, China.

This study aimed to clarify the role and mechanism of tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) in regulating M2 macrophages to reduce intestinal injury. An intestinal injury model was established by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in mice to explore the alleviating effects of tFNAs on intestinal injury. Inflammatory factors were detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

Mytilus are sessile filter feeders that live in close contact with numerous marine microorganisms. Hemocytes, the immunocompetent cells of Mytilus, participate in the immune response in a very efficient manner. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and peptidoglycan (PGN) follow specific microbe/pathogen-associated molecular patterns (MAMPs or PAMPs) and are involved in immune stimulation in host cells.
