Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMethamphetamine Inhibits β-Chemokines and Co-Stimulatory Molecule Expression by Dendritic CellsMadhavan P.N. Nair, Jose W. Rodriguez, Irina M. Borodowsky et al.The US is currently experiencing a serious epidemic of methamphetamine (Meth) use entangled with HIV-1 infection. Blood monocyte derived dendritic cells (DC ) are the first line of defense against HIV-1 infection and are the initial target of HIV-1 in injection drug users. Chemokines are known to be HIV-1 suppressing molecules and are positively associated with non- progression of HIV … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,546 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunodeficient Parameters in the HIV-1 Transgenic Rat ModelSulie L. Chang, Frank Ocasio, Jose A. BeltranRecently an HIV-1 transgenic (HIV-1Tg) rat model was created that carries a gag-pol-deleted HIV-1 genome under the control of the HIV-1 viral promoter. However, other viral proteins are expressed in most organs and tissues, and are found in the circulating blood. Since HIV-1 targets the immune system in humans, we examined two immunological parameters, leukocyte-endothelial adhesion (LEA) and inflammatory cytokine … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 7,839 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Azadirachta indica on Sheep Infected Naturally with HelminthesF.R. Macedo, H. Louvandini, G.R. Paludo et al.The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of neem (Azadirachta indica) on natural helminthes infection in lambs. Forty, four-month-old entire Santa Ines lambs were grazed on pasture, over a 20 week period. They were divided into 4 treatments: Without drenching (ND), 3 g A. indica/animal (A3), 6 g A. indica/animal (A6) and 9 g A. indica/animal (A9) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,678 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPrevalence of Herpesvirus 8 Infection in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus PatientsA. Ingianni, F. Carta, A. Reina et al.In this study a possible relationship between the presence of type 2 diabetes (DM2) and the Human Herpesvirus 8 infection (HHV-8) has been evaluated. The presence of HHV-8 DNA was monitored by nested PCR and Southern blotting in peripheral blood leucocytes of DM2 patients admitted to the Diabetology and Metabolic Disease Service of the "S. Giovanni di Dio" Hospital (Cagliari, … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 7,927 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOpiates Upregulate Adhesion Molecule Expression in Brain MicroVascular Endothelial Cells (BMVEC): Implications for Altered Blood Brain Barrier (BBB) PermeabilityMadhavan P.N. Nair, Supriya D. Mahajan, Jessica L. ReynoldsThe blood-brain barrier (BBB) is an intricate cellular system composed of vascular endothelial cells and perivascular astrocytes that restrict the passage of immunocompetent cells into the central nervous system (CNS). Expression of the adhesion molecules, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) on brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMVEC) and their interaction with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2006 · 6,614 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Model for the CD4 Cell Counts in an HIV/AIDS Patient and its Application in Treatment InterventionsRichard O. Simwa, Joseph Y.T. MugishaThe number of CD4 white blood cells has been established as an important clinical marker of disease progression to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) for persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The number of CD4 cells per unit volume is expected to decrease with time since infection by the virus. However on introduction of treatment interventions, the process is expected … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,848 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractsuPAR as an Inflammatory and Preclinical Atherosclerotic Marker in Hypovitaminosis DShravan Ajith Panchwadkar, Sudha Kuthethur, Neelam Manjunath Pawar et al.The mechanistic link between inflammation and atherosclerosis highlights the critical role of immune modulation in cardiovascular disease. The soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR), an immune-derived factor, has recently emerged as a non-specific inflammatory marker across chronic diseases and infections. All cells within the atherosclerotic arterial wall can express uPAR and release urokinase, which plays a key role in the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2026 · 1,126 accessesView PDFCite
