Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCellular and Some Biochemical Changes in Blood and Peritoneal Fluid Constituents in Awassi Lambs Following Elective CastrationMohammad B.F. AL-Zghoul, Raida K. AL-Rukibat, Abdelsalam Q. Talafha et al.No reports could be cited in the recent literature concerning the effects of surgical castration on blood and peritoneal fluid constituents in lambs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of surgical castration on cellular and some biochemical parameters of blood and peritoneal fluid in Awassi lambs. Eight, clinically healthy, 5-month-old, Awassi lambs were surgically castrated. Peritoneal … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,239 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 · 6,845 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 · 7,923 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPlatelet Derived Growth Factor-A mRNA Levels in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Subjects at Risk of Coronary Heart DiseaseSalman A.H. AlrokayanCoronary heart disease (CHD) is the number one cause of death in developed countries. We investigated the quantity of platelet derived growth factor-A mRNA (PDGF-A mRNA) among four different groups of diabetic and nondiabetic Saudi subjects (n = 40) at risk of CHD. Total RNA was derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMN) and PDGF-A mRNA reverse transcribed into cDNA … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 3, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2007 · 6,676 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn vitro Activation of Human and Rat Lymphocyte and Macrophage Functions by NorepinephrineRicardo Gomez-Flores, Diana Caballero-Hernandez, Richard J. Weber et al.Norepinephrine (NE) has been associated not only with increasing blood pressure, atherosclerosis, heart disease, and other life threatening conditions, but also with altering immune responses by influencing leukocyte functions. In the present study, we evaluated the in vitro effects of NE on rat thymic lymphocyte and human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (HPBMC) functions. We observed that NE marginally, but significantly … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,075 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation Between Circulating Early Endothelial Progenitors and CD4+CD25+ Regulatory T Cells: A Possible Cross-talk between Immunity and Angiogenesis?Shmuel Schwartzenberg, Adi Mor, Galia Luboshits et al.Regulatory T-cells (Treg) are a recently defined subset of CD4+ cells that can suppress inflammation and induce tolerance. Phenotypically, T-regs are characterized by a high level of expression of the IL-2 receptor alpha chain, CD25. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) can transform into mature endothelial cells and promote vessel formation by inducing postnatal angiogenesis and vasculogenesis. Herein, we tested the hypothesis … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2005 · 6,902 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Type I and Dranulysin as Immunological Markers in Congestive Heart FailureSimone de Lima e Silva Deo, Maria Do Carmo Valente De Crasto, Alda Maria Da-Cruz et al.Previous studies have shown that circulating levels of cytokines are increased in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF), resulting in myocardial depression. In this work, we have determined serum levels of TNF-α and IFN-γ by ELISA, detected sTNFR-I by dot ELISA, as well as TNFα, IL-6, IL-10 and granulysin mRNA in unstimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by RT-PCR in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,773 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 · 6,518 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessAll words, across the recordHepatitis B-Related Mononeuritis MultiplexBudha Charan Singh, Vinay N Gowda, Prasan Kumar PandaHepatitisB Virus (HBV) infection can present with varied multisystem manifestationsinvolving the skin, kidneys, blood, and nervous system. We report a 57-year-oldman with HBV-related mononeuritis multiplex who had symptoms of multiplesensory-motor axonal polyneuropathies. He was evaluated for his neuropathy withnerve conduction studies and a sural nerve biopsy that revealed necrotizingsmall-vessel vasculitis. He also hadan acute liver injury. He was started on … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 18, Issue 4 · 16 Nov 2022 · 5,719 accessesView PDFCite
