Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and polymers of the uronic acid family stimulate monocytes to produce tumor necrosis factor (TNF). The TNF-inducing potency of these polysaccharides may depend on their supramolecular configuration. In this study detoxified LPS and uronic acid polymers have been covalently
We have evaluated the potential of urinary uronic acid measurement as an early indicator in the development of renal papillary necrosis (RPN). Urinary uronic acid was quantified with a range of other urinary biochemical parameters in rats given multiple doses of N-phenylanthranilic acid (NPAA) or
In this study the molecular mechanisms behind the stimulatory activities of the uronic acid polymers poly mannuronic acid (poly M), high M alginate and oxidized cellulose (C60XY) were investigated and compared with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The cytokine-inducing abilities of the uronic acid polymers
The use of Surgicel, a local haemostatic absorbable gauze, is usually spread in surgery. The author reports a clinical case of face lift where the use of Surgicel 2, a more concentrated Surgicel, left under a precarious vascularized cutaneous flap led to a skin slough. He concludes that the
OBJECTIVE
To study the effects of tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) on granulation tissue in rats.
METHODS
Animal experiment.
METHODS
University Hospital, Finland.
METHODS
48 rats in 6 groups.
METHODS
The test implants were treated with either a single or daily injections of 200 ng of
This work was undertaken to study the effects of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha/cachectin) on developing granulation tissue in rats. Cylindrical hollow sponge implants were used as an inductive matrix for the growth of granulation tissue. In the two test groups the implants were injected
The joint tissues (synovium, articular cartilage and bone), respond rapidly and consistently to the presence of a piece of polypropylene surgically implanted into the Rabbit knee joint. In the contact of a foreign body, a synovium proliferates in an attempt to isolate and exclude the intruder from
Metastasis is an extremely complex process that is a major problem in the management of cancer. In the present study, we had evaluated the antimetastatic activity of DECALEPIS HAMILTONI: using B16F-10 melanoma-induced experimental lung metastasis in a C57BL/6 mice model.

BACKGROUND
The parts of the Genipa americana (Rubiaceae) tree, also known as "jenipapo" or "jenipapeiro", has been used in traditional Medicine in parasitic and bacterial infections. Thus, the experimental evolution of the antiparasitic activity of polysaccharide extracts from Genipa americana
Lilium lancifolium Thunb. is a Chinese traditional plant with various health benefits. In this study, we purified and characterized the water-soluble polysaccharide fraction (LLP-1A) of L. lancifolium. We also investigated the in vitro immune-enhancing activity of LLP-1A in macrophages and the
In the pathomechanism of the thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) the inflammatory cytokines produced by infiltrating lymphocytes of the retroorbital tissues are involved. The activated lymphocytes have been shown to secrete a number of cytokines including tumour necrosis factor-alpha,
N-Phenylanthranilic acid (NPAA) causes renal papillary necrosis (RPN) in the rat following repeated oral dosing. Non-invasive early detection of RPN is difficult, but a number of potential biomarkers have been investigated, including phospholipid and uronic acid excretion. This study used 1H-nuclear
Metastasis is one of the hallmarks of malignant neoplasm or cancer, which is the leading cause of death in many cancer patients. A major challenge in cancer treatment is to find better ways to specifically target tumor metastases. In this study, the anti-metastatic potential of the methanol extract
The effect of Vernonia cinerea Less. extract on the inhibition of lung metastasis induced by B16F-10 melanoma cells was studied in C57BL/6 mice. V cinerea extract significantly (P < .001) inhibited lung tumor formation (78.8%) and significantly increased the life span (72.5%). Moreover, lung
The major clinical challenge for cancer therapy remains the eradication or prevention of metastatic process. This study was an investigation of the antimetastatic activity of Biophytum sensitivum, using B16F-10 melanoma-induced experimental lung metastasis in C57BL/6 mice. B. sensitivum treatment
