Recent evidence suggests that the periodontal pathogen, Porphyromonas gingivalis, is associated with AD development by increasing the level of tau protein in the brain. Gingipain, the major virulence factor of the bacteria, has been described to be involved in the cleavage of the Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid cells 1 (TREM-1). The soluble TREM-1 (sTREM-1) generated was shown to result in the activation of tau phosphorylation. This work aims to uncover the underlying mechanism by which P. gingivalis causes AD by studying the relationship between the level of gingipain, TREM-1 and tau in the brain of mice infected with P. gingivalis. Through this study, a novel mechanism of AD formation may be proposed and can be exploited to generate therapies against the disease.","PeriodicalId":101862,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Bioinformatics","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133150153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The zeolitic imidazolate framework-67@chitosan aerogel (ZIF-67@CSA) was prepared by alkali freezing-thawing method, freeze drying and in situ growth method to remove dye congo red. The load mass ratio of ZIF-67on CSA is as high as 41.2 wt% ZIF-67@CSA was used to adsorb dye congo red, and the removal rate is more than 89.3%. This strategy provides an effective and universal way to prepare high loaded MOF natural polysaccharide aerogel, thus expanding its application in the field of pollutant treatment.","PeriodicalId":101862,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Bioinformatics","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124413157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous viruses have been identified efficiently lysing tumor cells both in vitro and in vivo and eliciting anti-tumor immunity, including but not limited to Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), adenovirus, and Newcastle Disease Virus (NDV). However, there are some caveats with present OV therapies. The delivery of the virus to the human body and its replication before immune response are essential to the effectiveness of the therapy. Therefore, to maximize the efficacy of existing OV therapies, we propose a hypothetical herpes simplex virus (HSV)-based OV which combines several engineered traits to tackle colon cancer. The re-designed virus conceivably limits HSV neutralization by preexisting antibodies. It is also conceivable that the engineered oncolytic virus can secrete chimeric molecules that specifically bind to colon cancer cells. Also, we aim to activate neoantigen-specific T cell responses through the synergy of PD-L1 inhibition, GM-CSF activation, and viral immunogenic oncolysis. We hypothesize that a combination of OV therapies with the usage of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as carriers could enhance the overall efficacy in tumor cell targeting and systemic immune response stimulation. MSC delivery is likely to aid in the migration of the engineered OV to tumor sites. In summary, the modifications of HSV enable more effective injection of oncolytic viruses and more accurate binding with tumors, improving therapeutic outcomes of existing HSV-based immunotherapies.","PeriodicalId":101862,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Bioinformatics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129856430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a top predator, the snow leopard plays an important role in controlling the prey population and promoting biodiversity. However, global warming caused by human activities is destroying the living environment of the snow leopard. In order to protect snow leopards effectively, this study investigates the impacts of global warming on the living situation of the snow leopard from four aspects. Primarily, glacial melting is discussed, where the retreating speed of many glaciers in snow leopard's habitat and their prey is reduced. Subsequently, treeline shift effects are analysed, where climate change results in treeline shift, and the forest ascending into alpine shrub and grassland which are snow leopard's preferred habitats. In addition, extreme weather events are also evaluated, where global warming brings the high frequency of extreme weather, decreasing the survival rate of the main prey of the snow leopard. Eventually, the impacts of wetlands are demonstrated, where destruction of wetlands due to global warming threatens the livestock the main prey and increases the competition between humans and snow leopards. These results show the urgency of protecting the snow leopard.","PeriodicalId":101862,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Bioinformatics","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130419406","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
