Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMultiple Pulmonary and Multivesicular Interatrial Septum Hydatid Cysts in A Native Italian PatientA. Romano, S. Giordano, F. Follis et al.Multivesicular, pulmonary and cardiac hydatidosis are rarely observed and can give rise to serious complications. Cysts can remain asymptomatic for a long time, until they reveal themselves perforating into cardiac chambers and/or pulmonary arteries or the systemic circulation. A rare case of multivesicular interatrial septum hydatid cyst with multiple pulmonary involvement in a native Italian farm labourer is reported. Clinical, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2008 · 6,897 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioinhbition of Diarrhogenic Gram-negative Bacteria using the Tukey-HSD TestAdenike A.O. Ogunshe, J.O. OlaomiA variety of probiotics show promise as effective therapies in the control of diarrhoea, however, diets and geographical locations affect probiotic therapy. In this pilot study, four indigenous probiotic candidates, Lactobacillus acidophilus AAOOL4, L. reuteri AAOOCH1, L. plantarum AAOO25NN and L. delbrueckii AAOOT20 were investigated for their in vitro bactericidal effects on bacterial pathogens implicated in infantile diarrhoea using the … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,216 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInduction of a Soluble Anti-HIV-1 factor (s) with IFN-γ, IL-10, and β-Chemokine Modulating Activity by an Influenza-Bacterial Polyantigenic MixtureJosé W. Rodríguez, Nat O. Pagan, Mar C. Ocasio et al.Partial immune restoration may be obtained with highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), but specific anti-HIV-1 immune responses do not appear to improve substantially. We have demonstrated that a soluble factor(s) induced by a mixture of inactivated influenza and bacterial vaccines called polyantigenic immunomodulator (PAI), possesses strong immunoregulatory and anti- HIV-1 activities. In the present study, we show that culture fluids … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,850 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHIV-1 Infection and Central Monoamine NeurotransmittersAdarsh M. Kumar, J. B. Fernandez, Irina Borodowsky et al.Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) enters the central nervous system (CNS) shortly after infection and gets localized in different brain regions, leading to various types of neuropathological problems. It has been hypothesized that HIV-1 infection mediated neuropathogenesis may also adversely affect the activity of the central monoamine neurotransmitters systems, such as dopamine (DA), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin), resulting in … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelation between Autoimmunity Chronic Urticaria and the Levels of Plasma Prothrombin F1+2Liu Xiaoming, Sheng Wanxiang, Ahmad T. Khalaf et al.A number of recent epidemiologic and experimental studies have enhanced our knowledge of the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic urticaria (CU), a disease that imposes profound impairment on patient's quality of life. Our study was performed to explore the relation between autoimmunity (CU) and the levels of plasma prothrombin F1+2. Thirty four (CU) patients with positive autologous serum skin test … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,900 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInhibition of Cholesterol Esterification Influences Cytokine Exspression in Lypopolisaccharide-activated P388D1 MacrophagesRosa Rita Bonatesta, Francesca Sanna, Sabrina Uda et al.Several in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated the involvement of infectious agents in the development of atherosclerosis. However, the mechanisms by which micro-organisms induce and/or aggravate atherosclerosis, are so far unclear. Accumulation of cholesterol esters and lipid laden cell formation are hallmark of the atherogenesis, however, the possible relationship between cholesterol esterification and the signal-transducing component of LPS … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,484 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImportance of blood gas measurements in perinatal asphyxia and alternatives to restore the acid base balance status to improve the newborn performanceH. Orozco-Gregorio, D. Mota-Rojas, M. Alonso-Spilsbury et al.Prolonged or intermittent asphyxia in utero and during farrowing weakens piglets and renders them less capable of adaptation to extrauterine life. Piglets with lesser viability at birth have increased blood pCO2 and blood lactic acid concentrations and decreased blood pH. Moreover, the ability to thermoregulate during an acute cold stress is inversely related to umbilical blood lactate concentrations. Blood gas … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,636 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEmploying New Mathematical Models and Equations to Evaluate Risk-Benefit Criteria of Clinical TherapeuticsDa Yong Lu, Ting Ren Lu, Jian DingCurrent preclinical and clinical evaluation of a drugs or therapy is at first to find out a maximum toxicity tolerance, which is overall fixed. The potential therapeutic dosage will be ranged just lower or within the periphery of these maximum tolerant data. A hidden acceptance among general researchers lies as the toxicity concentration of a drug is always the same … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2007 · 6,829 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Vitamin C on the Metabolic Parameters of Experimental Diabetes MellitusMariam Al-Shamsi, Amr Amin, Ernest AdeghateThe role of vitamin C on diabetes mellitus is unknown. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of oral administration of vitamin C on some of the metabolic parameters of diabetic rats. Diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of STZ (60 mg kgˉ1 body weight at 12 weeks of age). Vitamin C (10, 50, 100 mg kgˉ1 … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 8,072 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSuccessful Treatment of Both Mother and Infant in Pregnancy-Associated Group A Streptococcal Toxic Shock SyndromeTakayuki Tanaka, Kousaku Matsubara, Yumiko Umemoto et al.All perinatal cases of group A streptococcal toxic shock syndrome (STSS) previously documented in English literature have been fatal for the mother, the fetus or both. We present the first report of successful treatment of a mother-infant pair with perinatal STSS. A pregnant woman developed STSS at 34 weeks’ gestation 3 h after delivery, following a 25-h history of fever … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 7,093 accessesView PDFCite
