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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 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 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 ...
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 ...
Comparison of a commercial ELISA with the modified agglutination test for the detection of Toxoplasma gondii infection in naturally exposed sheep
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2007)
Surprisingly few commercial ELISAs are available for the detection of Toxoplasma gondii infection in animals, and none for use in sheep have been evaluated. We thus compared the Bommeli Diagnostics ELISA Toxotest for the ...
Murine model of drug-induced reactivation of Toxoplasma gondii
(Jagiellonian Univ, Inst Environmental Sciences, Krakow, 2001)
A murine model of recrudescence of chronic toxoplasmosis, mimicking this life-threatening condition in immunosuppressed humans, was developed in Swiss-Webster mice infected 6 weeks previously with 10 cysts of the Me49 ...
