Behçet's disease is a multisystem disease in which there is evidence of immunological dysregulation. It has been proposed that gamma/delta T cells are involved in its pathogenesis. The aim of the present study was to assess the capacity of gamma/delta T cells with phenotype Vgamma9/Vdelta2, from a
The D-xylose absorption test was applied to clinically normal horses and to horses with signs of gastrointestinal disease. A dosage of 0.5 grams of xylose per kilogram of bodyweight was useful in detecting horses that absorbed the pentose abnormally. The clinical findings were correlated with gross
Although recent studies have shown that gut absorptive function is significantly depressed even in the early hyperdynamic phase of sepsis, the mechanism responsible for this is unknown. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) is a potent mediator of shock resulting in a marked inflammatory response
To clarify the physiological factors associated with the development of tomato leaf marginal necrosis associated with potassium deficiency, tomato leaf blades prior to development of the symptoms were collected, and profiles of water-soluble metabolites were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass
Severe leaf and stem necrosis symptoms were observed on watermelon seedlings (Citrullus lanatus cv. Euroca) in Adana, Turkey during a warm and humid period in January 2004. Streak-plate isolations were made from leaf and stem lesions on King's medium B. A fluorescent, yellowish mucoid,
OBJECTIVES
The present study aims to investigate the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of seagrass
Halophila ovalis sulfated polysaccharide on HT-29 cell line.
SUBJECTS AND METHODS
Monosaccharides composition was identified using liquid
Here, the anti-inflammatory effect of Xylose-Taurine reduced (X-T-R), a taurine derivate was investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. X-T-R reduced the generations of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) induced by the stimulation of LPS in RAW 264.7 by
Immunostimulatory activity of the flaxseed gum neutral fraction (NFG) was investigated. NFG was characterized as a xylose rich heteroglycan through monosaccharide composition analysis, FT-IR, methylation/GC-MS, and 1D/2D-NMR. NFG stimulated NO production and phagocytic activity of macrophages.
BACKGROUND
Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth may contribute to the development of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, perhaps by increasing intestinal permeability and promoting the absorption of endotoxin or other enteric bacterial products.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the prevalence of small
OBJECTIVE
To study effects of leptin regulation of energy and activity of TNF-alpha on the trophologic status and digestion of main nutrients in patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
METHODS
Somatometric methods were used to examine trophologic status in 93 patients with
OBJECTIVE
The main purpose of this study is to prepare and characterize polysaccharides from Panax notoginseng, investigate their effects on immune system in vitro in order to find new immunostimulants for the prevention and supporting treatment of infection and immunodeficiency related
Three heteroglycans, T1a, T1b, and T1c, have been isolated from the body of Tremella fuciformis Berk. They are composed of mannose (Man), xylose (Xyl), glucose (Glc), fucose (Fuc), and glucuronic acid (GlcA). According to methylation analysis and partial acidic hydrolysis the main chains of T1a,
Passiflora foetida is a horticultural plant and vital traditional Chinese herbal medicine. In our previous study, the characterization and immuno-enhancing effect of fruits polysaccharide 1 (PFP1), a water-eluted hetero-mannan from wild Passiflora foetida fruits, were investigated.
Four acidic heteroglycans, T2a-T2d, were isolated from the body of Tremella fuciformis Berk. They contained 1.9%-2.9% of acetyl groups and were composed of mannose (Man), glucuronic acid (GlcA), and small amounts of xylose (Xyl), glucose (Glc), and fucose (Fuc). According to methylation analysis
BACKGROUND
The present study reports functional and morphological changes noted over long-term follow-up in patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
METHODS
Thirty patients who had completed at least 6 months after recovery were included. Fecal fat, urinary D-xylose, blood sugar, C-peptide,
