Characterization of antigen-presenting cells in human apical periodontitis lesions by flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2006)
Aim To analyse phenotypic characteristics of antigen-presenting cells (APC), isolated from human periapical lesions by flow cytometry and immunocytochemistry. Methodology Sixteen periapical lesions were digested for 15 min ...
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 ...
A biased Gm haplotype and Gm paraprotein allotype in multiple myeloma suggests a role for the Gm system in myeloma development
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2007)
The association between a particular Gm haplotype and susceptibility to multiple myeloma (MM) is not clear. The reason is probably because no investigations have so far been carried out on the relationship between the Gm ...
Hypogalactosylation of salivary and gingival fluid immunoglobulin G in patients with advanced periodontitis
(Amer Acad Periodontology, Chicago, 2006)
Background: Altered glycosylation of immunoglobulin G (IgG) has been found to affect certain immunological activities of IgG and to correlate with increased inflammation in various disease states. This work deals with the ...
Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms: Factors influencing early survival
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2005)
In this study we aimed to define relevant prognostic predictors for the outcome of surgical treatment of ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms. The study included 406 consecutive patients treated between January 1991 and ...
Patients' reported quality of life in chronic venous disease in an outpatient service in Belgrade, Serbia
(John Libbey Eurotext Ltd, Montrouge, 2009)
Chronic venous disease (CVD) has been reported to substantially affect patients' quality of life (QoL). To evaluate the impact of CVD on patient-reported QoL in a patient series in Serbia, a cross-sectional study of 570 ...
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 ...
Effects of acute administration of ethanol on the rat adrenal cortex
(Alcohol Res Documentation Inc Cent Alcohol Stud Rutgers Univ, Piscataway, 2003)
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a single dose of ethanol on rat adrenal cortex and to determine whether the estrous cycle can influence this effect of ethanol. Method: Adult female ...
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 ...
