Effects of gamma-radiation on cell growth, cycle arrest, death, and superoxide dismutase expression by DU145 human prostate cancer cells
(Assoc Bras Divulg Cientifica, Ribeirao Preto, 2006)
Gamma-irradiation (gamma-IR) is extensively used in the treatment of hormone-resistant prostate carcinoma. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of Co-60 gamma-IR on the growth, cell cycle arrest ...
Allozyme polymorphism of Mdh and alpha-Gpdh in Ixodes ricinus populations: comparison of borreliae-infected and uninfected ticks
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2006)
Ixodes ricinus Linnaeus (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks are vectors of numerous infectious diseases in humans and animals. The allozyme variability of MDH and alpha-Gpdh was detected by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis ...
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 ...
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 ...
Phylogenetic relationships among Praini (Hymenoptera : Braconidae : Aphidiinae) aphid parasitoids, with redescription of two species
(Brill Academic Publishers, Leiden, 2006)
Phylogenetic relationships among four genera and 25 species of the tribe Praini (Braconidae: Aphidimae) were investigated on the basis of 15 characters (13 morphological and two life history characters) using parsimony ...
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. ...
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 ...
Hematopoietic changes and altered reactivity to IL-17 in Syphacia obvelata-infected mice
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, Clare, 2006)
Pinworm parasites commonly infect laboratory mice with high prevalence even in well-managed animal colonies. Although often considered as irrelevant, these parasites if undetected may significantly interfere with the ...
Effects of soybean D-LeciVita product on serum lipids and fatty acid composition in type 2 diabetic patients with hyperlipidemia
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, Oxford, 2006)
Background and aim: Hyperlipidemia is one of the major risk factors of cardiovascular complication in diabetes. High intake of soy product has been suggested to prevent cardiovascular disease. The purpose of this study was ...
