Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCholesterol Metabolism in Brain and Skin Fibroblasts from Sarda Breed Sheep With Scrapie-resistant and Scrapie-susceptible GenotypesAlessandra Pani, Claudia Abete, Claudia Norfo et al.Scrapie is a fatal spongiform encephalopathy of sheep, a transmissible form of prion disease caused by neuronal accumulation of the aberrantly conformed prion protein (PrPsc). Currently, no ante-mortem diagnostic tests are available to detect this untreatable disease in the pre-clinical stage, thus making difficult to control its spread. Recent evidence suggests that the production of PrPsc can be modulated by … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCirculating Granzymes are associated with Bloodstream Infection and Death in Febrile Medical PatientsAnnelies N. Tacx, Angela M. Wolbink, C. E. Hack, A.B. Johan GroeneveldPlasma levels of granzymes are specific markers for the activation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells but the impact of activation of these cells on the course of bacterial infections is not well understood. We prospectively studied the implications of circulating granzyme A and B (GrA, GrB) levels in febrile, medical and hospitalized patients (n=284), during 3 … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2007 · 6,737 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHumoral Immune Response in Tuberculous PleuritisPrabha C., Kripa V. Jalapathy, Sulochana D. DasTuberculous pleuritis is a good human model to understand the local and protective immune response against tuberculosis, due to the self-limitedness of the disease. Although the cellular immune response has been well characterised in tuberculous pleurisy, much less is known about the humoral immune response operating at the site of infection. To understand the humoral immune response, B cells were … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,522 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Stochastic Approach to Blood Supply, Demand and Screening in Central Blood Banks - A ReviewShaul K. Bar-LevOne of the major issues in securing blood supply to patients worldwide is to provide blood of the best achievable quality, in the needed quantities. Central Blood Services (CBS’s) worldwide are daily faced with the problem how to satisfy demands for blood from various hospitals. These hospitals, in their turn, are faced with the problem how to satisfy demands for … …Current Research in Biostatistics, Vol. 7, Issue 1 · 26 Oct 2017 · 8,074 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractASSOCIATION OF TESTOSTERONE AND CHOLESTEROL LEVEL IN MODULATION OF IMMUNITY AND SEVERITY OF DISEASE IN VISCERAL LEISHMANIASIS PATIENTS-A PRELIMINARY STUDYKrishna Pandey, Dharmendra Singh, Sanjiva Bimal et al.Males are more prone to Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL) as compared to females. The role of androgens in host defence against Leishmania and other pathogens is of considerable interest. This study was aimed to understand a baseline mechanistic understanding of the pathogenesis of visceral leishmaniasis with respect to testosterone. We examined the relationship between serum testosterone and cholesterol levels, antigen induced … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 25 Mar 2014 · 7,076 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Characterization of Inflammatory and Structural Markers within the Rumen Epithelium During Grain-Induced Ruminal Acidosis in Lactating Dairy CattleL. Dionissopoulos, M. A. Steele, O. AlZahal et al.The objective of this study was to characterize the mRNA and protein expression of inflammatory and structural genes in the rumen epithelium during grain-induced ruminal acidosis in lactating dairy cattle. A total of 16 rumen-fistulated, lactating Holstein dairy cattle (618±35 kg of body weight, 221±32 days in milk) were used in a randomized complete block design study. All cattle were … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 19 Sep 2012 · 8,038 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnti-Diabetic Activity of a Fraction from Cissus verticillata and Tyramine, its Main Bioactive Constituent, in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic RatsCleide de Sousa Lino, Thiago de P. Sales, Patrícia B. Gomes et al.Cissus verticillata (syn. C. sycioides, fam. Vitaceae) is a medicinal plant popularly used in Brazil, for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The anti-diabetic activity of a fraction from leaves of Cissus verticilllata (MSF, methanol soluble fraction), as well as that of tyramine (TYR) were investigated, in the model of alloxan-induced diabetes, in male Wistar rats. The biochemical parameters studied were: … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 8,628 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordPassage Effect on Aging of Human Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Stem CellDian Mediana, Isabella Kurnia Liem, Jeanne Adiwinata Pawitan, Noviyanti GoeiTo be used in regenerative medicine, cells should be checked for various conditions, including cell aging. This study aimed to learn senescent profile and its relation to cell viability, proliferation and cell size in various passages, which were done in α-MEM-10% PRP medium, until senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) positive cells were found. Stem cells were isolated from umbilical cord tissue by … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 3 · 31 Jul 2015 · 8,041 accessesView PDFCite
