To investigate the effects of VSL#3 on pro-inflammatory IP-10 expression in IEC, we stimulated Mode-K cells with VSL#3 bacteria (Moi 20) in the presence or absence of TNF, a potent inducer of IP-10 expression.
To investigate whether the inhibition of TNF-induced IP-10 expression was due to an active interaction between live L. casei and IEC, we inactivated L. casei by formaldehyde fixation, lysozyme lysis or heat treatment and subsequently stimulated Mode-K cells.
While on the other hand, metal wedge based structures could be used to further scale down the size of the stimulated optical mode, potentially enabling the realization of ultra-deep-subwavelength laser action.
MRS measurements were acquired during breathhold, using single-voxel stimulated acquisition mode (TE/TR 20/3,000 ms, six acquisitions).
Over the past years, several interventions and policies have been implemented to stimulate this mode shift.
The difference between our study and that by Morrison et al. could be explained by differences in the degree of artificial bladder extension, the location of the point stimulated, and the mode of stimulation.
By employing the recently developed fast axisymmetric DKI, we use stimulated echo acquisition mode to collect data over a two orders of magnitude diffusion time range with very narrow diffusion gradient pulses, enabling finely resolved measurements of diffusion time dependence of both net diffusion and kurtosis metrics, as well as model intra- and extra-axonal diffusivities, and axonal dispersion.
We used the stimulated echo acquisition mode in conjunction with water suppression techniques [ 34].
Krššák et al used a stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM) sequence [ 41].
HCL were quantified using the stimulated echo acquisition mode within a volume of interest of 27 cm (5).
A voxel (3 × 6 × 3 mm) was located on the frontal lobe region using a stimulated echo acquisition mode (STEAM) sequence (TR/TE: 5000/2 ms).
