Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractElevated Th17 and IL-23 in Hypertensive Patients with Acutly Increased Blood PressureJunxian Wang, Jianying Chen, Can Chen et al.Problem statement: Many severe cardiovascular complications such as stroke and heart attack can result from acutely increased blood pressure in patients with hypertension. The underlying mechanisms remain unclear despite of extensive study. To characterize the inflammatory mechanisms in hypertensive patients with acute blood pressure increase, we tested circulating Th17 levels, IL-23R expression and plasma levels of IL-17 and IL-23 in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 21 May 2012 · 7,911 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFluctuation of Brain Tissue Oxygen Partial Pressure: A Biochemical Landmark in the Arctic Ground Squirrel's Spontaneous ArousalYi Long Ma, Shu Fen Wu, Lawrence K. DuffyHibernation in the Arctic ground Squirrel (AGS) is a regulated, adaptive response to arctic environmental conditions. Problem statement: Regional brain Blood Flow (rCBF) has been observed to increase dramatically during arousal in hibernators. However, the real time dynamic change in PtO2 during arousal has not been studied, we hypothesized that PtO2 is Interdependent of Tbrain and a key component in … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 1 Feb 2012 · 7,601 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New System to Analyze Pulsatile Flow Characteristics in Elastic Tubes for Hemodynamic ApplicationsAfshin Anssari-Benam, Mohammad Tafazzoli-Shadpour, Nasser Fatouraee et al.In this research, we present a new designed experimental setup for study of characteristics of pulsatile flow in elastic tubes, aiming to simulate arterial blood flow. This system includes four major components: (1) a pulsatile pump producing original arterial flow, (2) an elastic element to simulate coupling of the heart with the arterial system, (3) an elastic tube with mechanical … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2008 · 7,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Stent Geometry on Phase Shift between Pressure and Flow Waveforms in Stented Human Coronary ArteryVahab Dehlaghi, Siamak Najarian, Mohammad Tafazzoli ShadpourShear stress is known to play a central role in restenosis formation and is sensitive to stent geometry. Alterations of the phase shift between pressure and flow waveform created by a different stents were studied to compare the hemodynamic effects of stent design properties on restenosis in stented human coronary artery. Blood pressure waveforms were computed in three different sites, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 30 Apr 2008 · 7,252 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractIs Rerum® the New Coley's Vaccine?Marco RuggieroColey's Vaccine and Cancer Immunotherapy Dr. William B. Coley is credited for having been the first to translate the observation of an association between bacterial infections, high fever and cancer remission into a successful cancer treatment. However, it is worth noting that such an association dates back to at least one century before Coley's times; as Wiemann and Starnes from … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 31 May 2017 · 12,281 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHumoral and Cellular Effects of Stress-An Extensive Model SystemMazal Shimon-Hophy, Ramy R. AvtalionThe influence of stress on the immune system of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio) was studied by measuring leukocytes levels using flow cytometry and mRNA immune components by real time qPCR. Acute and chronic oxidative stresses were generated by different regimes of exposure of carp to environmental air. In acute stress, induced by single air exposure, the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL1β, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 2 · 18 Apr 2017 · 6,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of the Activity of Plant Extracts in Boer GoatsM. Worku, R. Franco, J. H. MillerProblem statement: The effect of extracts from Neem (Azadirachta indica), Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) and Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) with added copper sulfate, on female Boer goats infected with gastrointestinal parasites (GIN) was evaluated. Approach: Following initial screening for infection, animals were artificially infected with a mix containing approximately 80% Haemonchus contortus and 20% Trichostrongylus spp. After 21 days, fecal samples were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 4 · 21 Dec 2009 · 8,471 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLACTIC ACIDOSIS AND HEMOPHAGOCYTIC LYMPHOHISTIOCYTOSIS: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURECharat Thongprayoon, Peter J. Edmonds, Patompong Ungprasert et al.Lactic acidosis is the most common cause of anion gap metabolic acidosis and is associated with high morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients. The association between Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and lactic acidosis is still unclear. HLH causes cytokine overproduction which in turn induces lactic acidosis. There have been only few reports of type B lactic acidosis in HLH patients. There … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 5 Jul 2014 · 7,686 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCALCITONIN GENE-RELATED PEPTIDE IN SERUM AFTER SPONTANEOUS SUBARACHNOID HEMORRHAGEKarl-Michael Schebesch, Elisabeth Bruendl Andreas Hochreiter, Judith Scheitzach et al.Endogenous Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP) stored in perivascular nerve fibers around the cerebral arteries mediates vasodilation and regulates cerebral blood flow under physiological conditions. Increased levels of CGRP have been continually reported in patients with migraine, but the role of CGRP in the pathophysiology of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) has not yet been sufficiently evaluated. Over 10 days, serum was prospectively … …Neuroscience International, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 28 Jun 2014 · 7,588 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractREMEDIAL EFFECTS OF VITAMIN E AND L-ARGININE ON PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY IN STREPTOZOTOCIN-INDUCED DIABETIC RATSIsmaeel Bin-Jaliah, Samah El-Attar, Eman F. Khaleel et al.It was shown that hyperglycemia in diabetic patients is the main factor of diabetic peripheral neuropathies. Various pathways related to oxidative stress, vascular defect and defective endothelium dependent relaxation have been implicated in the development of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. A substantial number of studies have shown that antioxidant treatment are promising therapeutics that can prevent or correct reduced motor nerve … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2013 · 8,041 accessesView PDFCite
