Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractReview on Apiary Management and Antimicrobial Compounds as Alternative Prevention or Treatment for Honeybee DiseasesChanpen Chanchao, Marko Stoić, Mikio Yoshiyama, Kiyoshi KimuraHoneybees are important in terms of pollinators and bee products. However, honeybee colonies keep declining due to colony collapse disorder, loss of food sources, environmental deterioration, pesticide exposure and various diseases, as well as the interaction of these causes. Pathogenic infections are high because there is an antagonistic coevolution between host and pathogen/parasite, which leads to a reciprocal adaptation, as … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 15 Jan 2018 · 7,738 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Mannan-Oligosaccharides on Daily Weight Gain and Health of Pre-Weaned Holstein Calves in ChilePedro Melendez, Pablo Pinedo, Maria Paz Marin, Angelica AriasThe objective was to compare the effect of S. cerevisiae and mannan-oligosaccharides on Average Daily Gain (ADG), live weight and health of dairy calves in Chile. Calves were weighed at birth and randomly assigned to 3 groups: (i) Yeast (YS): 5 g/calf/day of a live yeast (n = 25); (ii) Mannan (MN): 3 g/calf/day of mannan-oligosaccharides (n = 25); (iii) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 1 Feb 2018 · 8,073 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Atorvastatin on Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein-induced Proliferation, Apoptosis, and Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 Expression in Human MacrophagesBensheng Liu, Huifan Li, Yan Wang, Li ZhangAtorvastatin (ATV), an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, is utilized in the treatment of atherosclerotic diseases. Mononuclear Macrophages (MMs) are critical immune cells involved in atherosclerosis progression, participating in processes such as foam cell formation, cytokine secretion, and the development of fibrous cap and lipid core. To further elucidate the mechanism by which ATV exerts its therapeutic effects on atherosclerosis through the … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 21, Issue 3 · 18 Nov 2025 · 2,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChronic and Acute Effect of Tramadol Intoxication on Some Immunological ParametersLoveday Udu Zebedee, Zaccheus Awortu Jeremiah, Nyebuchi Jonathan, Eni-Yimini Solomon AgoroTramadol intoxication is rapidly on the increase in Nigeria with unestablished short-term and long-term effects. The study was aimed at elucidating the dose-dependent effect of acute or chronic tramadol intoxication on some immunological parameters using male rats (Rattus norvegicus). A total of fifty adult rats were used for the study as indicated by Mead's Resource Equation. The study consisted of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 24 Apr 2021 · 8,025 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCOVID-19: A Review of Current Evidence on Phylogenetics and EtiopathogenesisRafiq Shajahan, Naganathan K. PillaiCOVID-19 represents the latest pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus. Coronaviruses are RNA viruses that cause a largely viral mediated immune-related syndrome similar to the SARS epidemic. Following metagenomic sequencing, SARS-CoV-2 closely resembles SARS-CoV (79% similarity) and MERS-CoV virus (50% similarity). Despite this, clinical observations have found varying degrees of infectivity and pathogenesis amongst these viruses. Phylogenetic origins of SARS-CoV-2 … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 2 Apr 2021 · 6,764 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractModeling Hepatocellular Toxicity of Enavatuzumab, a Humanized Anti-TweakR AntibodyDonghee Choi, Yanhong Zhu, Debra Tien Chao et al.In a Phase 1 clinical study, treatment with enavatuzumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody to TweakR, resulted in liver toxicity in a subset of patients. The objective of this current study was to evaluate the ability of preclinical studies to predict liver toxicity in humans. Enavatuzumab was evaluated in cynomolgus monkeys, where serum liver enzyme and cytokine levels were measured and … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 9 Nov 2017 · 7,719 accessesView PDFCite
