Effects of Nitric Oxide on Red Blood Cell Development and Phenotype
(Current Topics in Developmental Biology, 2008)
Nitric oxide (NO) is a diffusible free radical generated primarily by NO synthases (NOS), isoenzymes that convert the l-arginine and molecular oxygen to citrulline and NO in cells. Endothelial cells as well as macrophages, ...
Serum beta(2)-microglobulin as a marker of congenital toxoplasmosis and cytomegalovirus infection in preterm neonates
(Karger, Basel, 2008)
Background: Fetal serum beta(2)-microglobulin (beta M-2) has been reported as a reliable indicator of fetal infectious diseases. Objectives: To evaluate serum beta M-2 as a marker of congenital toxoplasmosis or cytomegalovirus ...
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 combination of gamma ionizing radiation and 8-Cl-cAMP induces synergistic cell growth inhibition and induction of apoptosis in human prostate cancer cells
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2008)
The antiproliferative and cytotoxic potential of the nucleotide analog 8-Cl-cAMP was tested in PC-3 and DU145 metastatic human prostate cancer cells. The drug was examined as the only therapeutic agent and in combination ...
Alport's syndrome and benign familial haematuria: light and electron microscopic studies of the kidney
(Srpsko lekarsko društvo, Beograd, 2008)
INTRODUCTION Hereditary nephropathy is clinically characterized by the familial occurrence in successive generations of progressive haematuric nephritis and neural hearing loss. Hereditary nephropathy of Alport's syndrome ...
The prevalence and risk of hepatitis flares in a Serbian cohort of HIV and HCV co-infected patients treated with HAART
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2008)
Despite substantial benefits of HAART treatment of HIV-infected patients, cumulative long-term toxicity, including drug-induced hepatotoxicity, has emerged as an important complication. Thus, to examine the prevalence and ...
Reliability of modified clinical test of influence of sensor interactions on postural stability of athletes aged 10 to 12 / Pouzdanost modifikovanog kliničkog testa uticaja senzornih interakcija na posturalnu stabilnost sportista uzrasta od 10 do 12 godina
(Univerzitet u Beogradu - Fakultet sporta i fizičkog vaspitanja, Beograd, 2008)
Based on the literature, reports about bilateral stance assessments based on force plate measurements in elementary schoolchildren and athletes are limited. The present study was designed to report reliability values for ...
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Francisella tularensis and their co-infections in host-seeking Ixodes ricinus ticks collected in Serbia
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2008)
To evaluate the prevalence rate of tick-borne bacterial pathogens, unfed adult Ixodes ricinus ticks were collected from vegetation in 2001, 2003, and 2004 at 18 localities throughout Serbia. A total of 287 ticks were ...
Hydroxyurea nitrosylates and activates soluble guanylyl cyclase in human erythroid cells
(Amer Soc Hematology, Washington, 2008)
Hydroxyurea, a drug widely used for treating myeloproliferative diseases, has also been approved for the treatment of sickle cell disease by raising fetal hemoglobin (HbF). We have shown that nitric oxide (NO) and the ...
Insulin-like growth factor-I in wound healing of rat skin
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2008)
Growth factors play an important role in orchestrating and enabling the cellular responses required for successful wound healing. In the present study, rat surgical incision was used to investigate insulin-like growth ...
