The potential of interleukin-17 to mediate hematopoietic response
(Humana Press Inc, Totowa, 2012)
It has long been known that T cells have the potential to modulate hematopoietic response in different ways. More recently, the importance of interleukin (IL)-17-secreting Th17 cells in T-cell-mediated regulation of ...
The prognosis of patients with dissociated virological and immunological responses to HAART
(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, Issy-Les-Moulineaux, 2010)
Background. - While HAART allows for the reconstitution of immune functions in most treated HIV patients, failure to achieve a significant increase in circulating CD4+ T cells despite undetectable viremia occurs. Methods. ...
Anti-metastatic and Anti-angiogenic Properties of Potential New Anti-cancer Drugs Based on Metal Complexes of Selenosemicarbazones
(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, Sharjah, 2012)
Our previous studies showed that zinc (II), cadmium (II) and nickel (II) complexes with 2-formylpyridine selenose-micarbazone induce apoptosis in cancer cells via activation of mitochondrial pathway. Herein, we reported ...
Lower Serum Paraoxonase-1 Activity Is Related to Linoleic and Docosahexanoic Fatty Acids in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2012)
Background. Serum paraoxonase-1(PON-1) activity is decreased in clinical conditions associated with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), increased lipid peroxidation and low-grade chronic inflammation, as in ...
Rearrangement of erythrocyte band 3 molecules and reversible formation of osmotic holes under hypotonic conditions
(Springer, New York, 2010)
The complex phenomenon of rearrangement of band 3 molecules after erythrocyte swelling under hypotonic condition is considered. The rearrangement includes the increase of the mobile fraction and clustering of band 3. The ...
Diversity and host associations of aphid parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) in the farmlands of western Iran
(Narodni Muzeum - Prirodovedecke Muzeum, Praha, 2012)
This study presents the results of a survey of aphid parasitoids of the subfamily Aphidiinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in western Iran. Thirty nine species of aphid parasitoids belonging to nine genera were collected and ...
Scaling analysis of bilateral hand tremor movements in essential tremor patients
(Springer Wien, Wien, 2011)
Recent evidence suggests that the dynamic-scaling behavior of the time-series of signals extracted from separate peaks of tremor spectra may reveal existence of multiple independent sources of tremor. Here, we have studied ...
Revision of the world Monoctonia Stary, parasitoids of gall aphids: taxonomy, distribution, host range, and phylogeny (Hymenoptera, Braconidae: Aphidiinae)
(Magnolia Press, Auckland, 2015)
The present paper represents a contribution to the knowledge of the taxonomy of Monoctonia Stary aphid parasitoids obtained using the barcoding region of the mitochondrial COI gene. We discuss the phylogenetic position of ...
Low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and off-phase motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2010)
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can modulate cortical excitability and activation and consequently may affect clinical symptoms in neurological conditions characterized by altered motor cortex functions. ...
Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Calcium Phosphate Bioceramics: Implications in Periodontal Bone Regeneration
(Springer International Publishing Ag, Cham, 2018)
In orthopedic medicine, a feasible reconstruction of bone structures remains one of the main challenges both for healthcare and for improvement of patients' quality of life. There is a growing interest in mesenchymal stem ...
