   2012 - BACKGROUND: Overweight has increased in many countries over the past 20 years and excessive body weight is an established risk factor for adverse health outcomes and chronic diseases. This study aimed …

5. Differences in HIV natural history among African and non-African seroconverters in Europe and seroconverters in sub-Saharan Africa

   2012 - Introduction It is unknown whether HIV treatment guidelines, based on resource-rich country cohorts, are applicable to African populations. Methods We estimated CD4 cell loss in ART-naïve, AIDS-free …

6. The mglA gene and its flanking regions in Brucella: The role of mglA in tolerance to hostile environments, Fe-metabolism and in vivo persistence

   2012 - We previously demonstrated that a spontaneous smooth small-colony variant of Brucella abortus S19 is characterized by increased in vivo persistence and the differential expression of a gene predicted …

7. Sharing More than Friendship - Nasal Colonization with Coagulase-Positive Staphylococci (CPS) and Co-Habitation Aspects of Dogs and Their Owners

   2012 - Background Since the relationship between dogs and their owners has changed, and dogs moved from being working dogs to family members in post-industrial countries, we hypothesized that zoonotic …

8. Confidence-based Somatic Mutation Evaluation and Prioritization

   2012 - Next generation sequencing (NGS) has enabled high throughput discovery of somatic mutations. Detection depends on experimental design, lab platforms, parameters and analysis algorithms. However, …

9. Long-term effects of PERV-specific RNA interference in transgenic pigs

   2012 - Background: Porcine endogenous retroviruses (PERVs) represent a risk of xenotransplantation using porcine cells, tissues, or organs, as they are integrated in the porcine genome and have been shown to …

11. In Vitro Antimicrobial Effect of a Cold Plasma Jet against Enterococcus faecalis Biofilms

    2012 - The hypothesis that a cold plasma jet has the antimicrobial effect against Enterococcus faecalis biofilms was tested in vitro. 27 hydroxyapatite discs were incubated with E. faecalis for six days to …

12. Origin of Human T-Lymphotropic Virus Type 1 in Rural Côte d’Ivoire

    2012 - Simian T-lymphotropic virus type 1 (STLV-1) strains occasionally infect humans. However, the frequency of such infections is unknown. We show that direct transmission of STLV-1 from nonhuman primates …

13. Single mutations in the transmembrane envelope protein abrogate the immunosuppressive property of HIV-1

    2012 - BACKGROUND The mechanism by which HIV-1 induces AIDS is still unknown. Previously, synthetic peptides corresponding to the conserved immunosuppressive (isu) domain in gp41 of HIV-1 had been shown to …

14. Biological and phylogenetic characteristics of Yellow Fever virus lineages from West Africa

15. Very low birth weight infants after discharge: What do parents describe?

    2012 - Background Morbidity and mortality in Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) infants during their hospital stay have been well described. However, there are insufficient data regarding health problems after …

16. MSH2 and CXCR4 involvement in malignant VIPoma

    2012 - Background Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide secreting tumors(VIPomas) are rare endocrine tumors of the pancreas with an estimated incidence of 0.1 per million per year. The molecular mechanisms that …

17. HER2/neu DNA vaccination by intradermal gene delivery in a mouse tumor model: Gene gun is superior to jet injector in inducing CTL responses and protective immunity

    2012 - DNA vaccines are potential tools for the induction of immune responses against both infectious disease and cancer. The dermal application of DNA vaccines is of particular interest since the epidermal …
