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 ...
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 ...
Toxoplasma infection and pathological outcome of pregnancy
(Gynecologic & Obstetric Investigation, 1995)
To better evaluate the role of infection with Toxoplasma gondii in the outcome of pregnancy, 2,108 women with unsuccessful pregnancies (1,747 with spontaneous abortion, 187 with preterm delivery, 126 who delivered stillborn ...
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 ...
Risk factors for Toxoplasma infection in a reproductive age female population in the area of Belgrade, Yugoslavia
(Springer, Dordrecht, 1998)
The contribution to Toxoplasma infection of known transmission risk factors such as consumption of undercooked meat, contact with soil, and contact with cats, as well as that of age, degree of education, residence in central ...
Acute effect of ethanol on IgA immunoreactive cells in the intestine-associated immune system
(Pharmacological Reports, 2005)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effect of ethanol on mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue at the level of Peyer's patches and the intestinal lamina propria in female rats and to determine whether this ...
Hydroxyurea induces the eNOS-cGMP pathway in endothelial cells
(Amer Soc Hematology, Washington, 2006)
Hydroxyurea is a cell-cycle-specific drug that has been used to treat myeloproliferative diseases and sickle cell anemia. We have recently shown that hydroxyurea, like nitric oxide (NO)-donor compounds, increased cGMP ...
Hydroxyurea increases eNOS protein levels through inhibition of proteasome activity
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2007)
Recent reports have identified the proteasome as the primary degradation pathway for inducible, neuronal and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS). We have demonstrated that hydroxyurea increased nitric oxide (NO) ...
