In this paper, we consider a second order nonlinear di¤erential equation and establish two new theorems about the existence of the bounded solutions of a second order nonlinear di¤erential equation. In these theorems, we use di¤erent Lyapunov functions with di¤erent conditions but we get the same result. In addition, two examples are given to support our results with some …gures.
Innate immune system cells activate in response to infection and trigger an acute inflammatory reaction to restore tissue homeostasis and promote subsequent tissue repair. Their activation and functions must be very well regulated to avoid tissue damage, organ dysfunction, or even death. In this work, a new set of mathematical models is presented to examine the dynamics of the innate immune system response to tissue damage and provide further understanding of the role of the innate immune system during the early stages of an inflammatory response. Different damaged cells production functions are proposed to represent the effect of secondary tissue damage by the innate immune system. The stability and bifurcation analyses of the model reveal that there is an important threshold parameter that can be controlled in order to avoid sustained chronic inflammation and secure a successful healing outcome. A set of numerical simulations is also performed to support the presented theoretical results and demonstrate the medical applicability of the new mathematical model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
