Review ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEndometriosis-Search for BiomarkersKralickova Milena, Vetvicka VaclavNumerous studies are seeking noninvasive methods to diagnose endometriosis, but a clinically applicable test is still missing. Current paper compares the current results in our search for the best diagnostic marker. We summarize that despite the extensive research on endometriosis biomarkers, timely diagnosis using specific biomarkers remains an unfilled dream. …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 29 Jul 2016 · 6,850 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesEffects of Dietary Nucleotides on Immune Mechanisms and Physical State in Children with Chronic Respiratory ProblemsRichter Josef, Svozil Vladimir, Král Vlastimil et al.Heavy industrial pollution and/or passive smoking negatively affect the overall immune health of a population. We used a model of children with chronic respiratory problems and evaluated the effects of short term supplementation of their diet with nucleotides. We measured the level of sIgA, eNO levels and total physical activity. We found positive effects of oral supplementation with commercially available … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 12 Jun 2015 · 7,189 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesHELICOBACTER INFECTION AND ALLERGY IN MAJORITY AND ROMA POPULATION IN THE CZECH REPUBLICRichter Josef, Vetvicka Vaclav, Kral Vlastimil et al.In our paper we decided to evaluate the hypothesis about the relation between living conditions, infection with Helicobacter pylori and development of allergic problems. Two groups of children, one from the Roma population and one from the majority population, were chosen for this study. Comparing the levels of total IgE and specific IgE antibodies, IgA and IgG Helicobacter pylori antibodies … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 24 Dec 2014 · 6,669 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesβ1,3-GLUCAN ANTICANCER EFFICACIES AND SYNERGIES: A REVIEWStory Jenny, Vetvicka Vaclav, Angove Michaelβ1,3-glucans from fungi, cereals, seaweeds and bacteria have been shown to possess favourable biological and anti-carcinogenic activities including upregulation of phagocytosis, cytokine production enhancement, superoxide and nitrite production; antibody secretion and stimulation of signalling pathways associated with proto-oncogene expression. However, human dietary supplements containing β1,3-glucans vary in efficacy due to glucan source, the lifecycle stage of the source at extraction, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2014 · 8,765 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPhysiological Effects of a Combination of Cinnulin with ProbioticsVetvicka Vaclav, Vetvickova JanaThe search for an optimal combination of natural immunomodulators led us to study the biological effects of the combination of a cinnamon extract Cinnulin PF and probiotic LactoSpore. We found that this combination has strong synergetic effects on phagocytosis and on regulation of cholesterol and blood sugar levels. In addition, the Cinnulin/LastoSpore combination also reduced intestinal damage in mouse model … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 2 Oct 2013 · 8,225 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPlacebo-Driven Clinical Trials of Transfer Point Glucan #300 in Children with Chronic Respiratory Problems: III. Clinical FindingsVetvicka Vaclav, Richter Josef, Svozil Vladimir et al.The role of glucan in stimulation of immune reactions has been studied for decades. In this report we focused on the effects of orally administered glucan in children with chronic respiratory problems. We measured the physical endurance using a 6MWT test and the levels of eNO in 50 children aged 8-12 years and evaluated the effects of 100 mg/d oral … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 20 Aug 2013 · 9,030 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesPlacebo-Driven Clinical Trials of Transfer Point Glucan #300 in Children with Chronic Respiratory Problems: Antibody ProductionVetvicka Vaclav, Richter Josef, Svozil Vladimir et al.The role of glucan in stimulation of immune reactions has been well-established. In this report, we focused on the antibody production in glucan-supplemented children with chronic respiratory problems. We measured the levels of salivary IgA, IgM and IgG in 40 children aged 8-12 years and evaluated the effects of 100 mg d-1 oral dose of glucan. We found a significant … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 5 Jun 2013 · 10,468 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesβ 1, 3-Glucan in Cancer TreatmentVaclav Vetvicka, J. VetvickovaNatural products, useful in preventing and/or treating various diseases, have been sought after throughout the man’s history. Despite some problems inherited from the natural source of glucans, there is extensive literature about their activities in animal tumor models. For the past 25 years, Japan has used several forms of mushroom-derived glucans in treating cancer patients. Additionally, close to twenty clinical … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2012 · 8,880 accessesView PDFCite
