Comparative effects of aspirin and NO-releasing aspirins on differentiation, maturation and function of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells in vitro
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2009)
Acetylsalicilyc acid (aspirin, ASA) is a well known anti-inflammatory drug with immunomodulatory properties. NO-releasing aspirins (NO-ASA) are new compounds with anti-inflammatory properties. We studied the effects of ASA ...
Effectiveness of spiramycin in murine models of acute and chronic toxoplasmosis
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2005)
The antitoxoplasmic activity of spiramycin (SPI) was evaluated in murine models of infection using a type-1 (RH) or type-2 (Me49) strain of Toxoplasma gondii. In mice infected with 10(2) tachyzoites of the RH strain, ...
Effects of treatment with interleukin-1 receptor antagonist on endogenous interleukin-1 levels in normal and irradiated mice
(Acad Sciences Czech Republic, Inst Physiology, Prague 4, 2000)
The in vivo effects of recombinant human interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (rhIL-1Ra) administration on endogenous IL-1 levels in the circulation and conditioned media (CM) from different immunohematopoietic organ/tissues ...
Possible mechanism of acute effect of ethanol on intestinal IgA expression in rat
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2007)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible mechanism of acute effect of ethanol on IgA expression in rat intestine. To this end, adult female Wistar rats showing diestrus day I were treated with (a) ethanol ...
Wavelet transform analysis of time series generated by the stimulated neuronal activity
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2007)
We have studied the stimulated discharge dynamics of fusimotor neurons by applying the wavelet transform technique and by adopting that the neuronal discharge dynamics is manifested by the random time series of interspike ...
Challenges and achievements in capacity development in central and eastern Europe
(Karger, Basel, 2009)
Dietary lipid intake influences the level of cholesterol bound to haemoglobin in human erythrocytes
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2008)
Background Blood cholesterol levels are affected by diet and in particular by the type of fat intake. We originally showed that a significant but variable amount of cholesterol is firmly bound to haemoglobin (Hb) yielding ...
A human origin type II strain of Toxoplasma gondii causing severe encephalitis in mice
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2006)
Despite its capacity for sexual reproduction and global distribution, Toxoplasma gondii has a highly clonal structure, with the majority of isolates belonging to three distinct clonal types. Congenital toxoplasmosis has ...
Controlled-rate versus uncontrolled-rate freezing as predictors for platelet cryopreservation efficacy
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2006)
BACKGROUND: Cryobiologic variables responsible for cell injuries and freezing techniques applicable in medical cryopractice should be revised and/or reengineered for minimizing cryoinjuries and maximizing cell recovery. ...
