Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ANTI-PHOSPHATIDYL INOSITOLE ANTIBODIES IN PATIENTS WITH MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND HEALTHY SUBJECTSAbdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Mohammad Shojaei, Fatemeh Mehdizadeh et al.Immune system and inflamation is widely known to play a key role in the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Anti-Phospholipid (aPL) antibodies may act in the induction of immunological response leading to the development of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). Anti-Phosphatidyl Inositole (PI) Antibody (Ab) has been seen in various diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and anti-phospholipid antibody … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 23 Jan 2014 · 7,185 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Ventricular Late Potential Classification System Using Ant Colony OptimizationA. Sankara Subramanian, G. Gurusamy, G. SelvakumarProblem statement: Ventricular Late Potentials (VLPs) are low-level high frequency signals that are usually found within the terminal part of the QRS complex from patients after myocardial infarction. Patients with VLPs are at risk of developing ventricular tachycardia, which is the major cause of death if patients suffering from heart disease. Approach: Discrete Wavelet Transform was used to detect VLPs … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Nov 2011 · 6,883 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMonitoring the Chemical and Microbiological Changes During Ripening of Iranian Probiotic Low-Fat White CheeseN. Sabbagh, H. R. Gheisari, M. AminlariProblem statement: The objective of this experiment was to manufacture an Iranianlow fat probiotic cheese. Approach: Iranian white brine cheeses (4 trials) were made by varyingprocesses, i.e., lowering the fat content and use of probiotic adjunct culture on separate days. All types of cheeses were ripened at 13°C for 2 weeks and at 6°C to the end of ripering period. … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2010 · 8,378 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCardiotrophin-1 in Patients with Acute Myocardial InfarctionAbdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Mohammad Shojaie, Abdoulhossain MadaniProblem statement: Myocardial infarction is the combined result of environmental and personal factors. Prothrombotic factors might play an important role in this phenomenon. Inflammation plays a pivotal role in atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1), a member of the IL-6 family of cytokines, was identified as a growth factor for cardiac myocytes that induces cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and stimulates cardiac … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2010 · 7,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssociation of Mycoplasma pneumoniae Infection with Myocardial InfarctionMorteza Pourahmad, Abdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromy, Mohammad ShojaeiProblem statement: In addition to the major risk factors for atherosclerosis such as high plasma level of low density lipoprotein, low plasma level of high density lipoprotein, cigarette smoking, hypertension and diabetes mellitus, some studies introduce other agents such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae as risk factors for atherodclerosis and coronary artery diseases. Aim of this study was to clarify the risk … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2009 · 7,692 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCancer may be caused by the Immune ReactionRichmond T. PrehnHormesis-like effects of immunity have been documented during tumor-growth experiments in mice, quantitatively large immune-reactions have inhibited while lesser quantities of the same specific immune-reactants have been stimulatory to the growth of implanted tumors. Likewise, carcinogenesis has been inhibited by a high quantities of immune reactants, but positively stimulated by lower levels of the same reactants. One observation suggests that … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,460 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
