Blockade of Nitric Oxide Synthesis Modulates Rat Immunoglobulin A
(Karger, Basel, 2009)
Objective: Nitric oxide (NO) is known as a regulator of inflammation and immunity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of this signal molecule on the rat immunoglobulin A (IgA) system using N ...
Effect of n-3 fatty acids on nutritional status and inflammatory markers in haemodialysis patients
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2007)
Aims: Nutrition as an aetiological factor participates a great deal in premature atherosclerosis in haemodialysis (HD) patients. The basic mechanisms of end-stage renal disease and premature atherosclerosis are connected ...
Hematopoiesis during acute Toxoplasma gondii infection in mice
(Vsp Bv, Leiden, 2002)
We studied hematopoiesis in bone marrow and blood of CBA mice following infection with Toxoplasma gondii. Our data showed that acute infection with the virulent RH strain was associated with leucopenia, thrombocytopenia ...
The Prognosis of Pediatric AIDS in Serbia
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2009)
To determine the outcome of HIV infection in children in a resource-limited setting, a retrospective analysis of a series of 51 pediatric cases from the Serbian cohort of HIV infected patients was performed. Twenty seven ...
A longitudinal study of the relationship between galactosylation degree of IgG and rheumatoid factor titer and avidity during long-term immunization of rabbits with BSA
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2005)
Although IgG with reduced content of galactose has been implicated as important in the autoimmune rheumatoid factor (RF) response in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), relatively little is known about the temporal relationship ...
Herpes zoster as an immune restoration disease in AIDS patients during therapy including protease inhibitors
(Sage Publications Ltd, London, 2005)
A prospective study to evaluate the incidence of herpes zoster (HZ) as an immune restoration disease in patients with AIDS during highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) was conducted in a series of 115 patients ...
Examination of rheological properties of fine particles as carriers for controlled drug release
(Taylor & Francis Inc, Philadelphia, 2003)
Development of lipid-based fine particles as potential drug carriers requires detailed investigation of possible effects of these carriers on rheological properties of blood. In this study, we have investigated the influence ...
Aphids and parasitolds on willows and poplars in southeastern Europe (Hornoptera : Aphidoidea; Hymenoptera : Braconidae, Aphidiinae)
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2006)
Aphid and aphid parasitoid associations on willows (Salix spp.) and poplars (Populus spp.) in southeastern Europe are reviewed. In total 13 aphid parasitoid species were reared from aphids on these plants. The specific ...
Effects of long-term losartan and L-arginine treatment on haemodynamics, glomerular filtration, and SOD activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats
(Canadian Science Publishing, Ottawa, 2008)
Recently, it has been reported that losartan, an angiotensin II receptor (ATR) antagonist, depresses the angiotensin II-induced production of superoxide radicals. Also, in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) endothelial ...
The use of single-donor fibrin glue prepared by recycled cryoprecipitation in experimental liver surgery
(Vsp Bv, Leiden, 2002)
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the hemostatic effectiveness of fibrin glue (FG) prepared by a modification of cryoprecipitation technique in experimental rat liver surgery. FG component I was prepared by triple ...
