A direct immunogold-silver staining (D-IGSS) method with 5nm colloidal gold-labeled rabbit anti-HFRS IgG antibodies was employed to detect HFRS virus antigen in the cytoplasm of white blood cells from HFRS patients and compared with indirect immunofluorescence assay (I-IFA). The results showed as
Testis tissues from 13 cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) were studied by light-microscopy and immunogold-silver staining (IGSS). Under routine light microscopy, the pathological lesions were found frequently in the spermatogenic epithelia, the basement membrane in the
The direct immunogold silver staining (D-IGSS) method was used to detect the viral antigen in the extremity blood of 67 cases of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome. The positive rate of viral antigen was the highest during the fever, hypotension and oligouria phrase; and the rate dropped
OBJECTIVE
We investigated the effectiveness of hyperthermia added to preoperative radiation and chemotherapy for the treatment of rectal carcinoma.
METHODS
Forty-one patients receiving preoperative radiation were divided into two groups, Group A (20 patients; receiving radiation, hyperthermia, and
Application of the silver-staining technique to air-dried chromosome preparations of the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti, revealed the following: 1) intensely stained pericentromeric regions in all chromosomes including the Y chromosome in spermatogonia, and during the primary and secondary
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effect of hyperthermia in vitro on tight junctions between the endothelial cells of the blood-brain barrier.
METHODS
An in vitro blood-brain barrier model was established by coculture of ECV304 cells with astrocytes. Transendothelial resistance (TER) of in vitro
BACKGROUND
Argyria is a rare irreversible cutaneous pigmentation disorder caused by prolonged exposure to silver. Herein, we report a case of generalized argyria that developed after chronic ingestion of soluble silver-nano particles and presented with muscle weakness.
METHODS
A 74-year-old woman
A 55-year-old woman presented 18 months after a trip to Ecuador with night sweat, malaise, and an unclear lesion of the lung. Computed tomography of the lung showed a nodular lesion of 14 mm. Antibodies against Histoplasma capsulatum were detected in the complement fixation text (CFT) and IgG
Pneumocystis jirovecii (PCP) remains a significant cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with respiratory infections. Accurate diagnosis of PCP is still a diagnostic challenge. Hence, the main objectives were to study the incidence of Pneumocystis Jirovecii pneumonia infection
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of clindamycin-primaquine as the salvage treatment for pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in non-HIV-infected patients. Methods: Clinical data of non-HIV-infected patients with PCP who were treated with clindamycin-primaquine as the salvage treatment in Peking
BACKGROUND
The aim of the present was to study the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of 20 cases of pneumonia by Pneumocystis carinii (NPC) diagnosed over the last 10 years in renal, renopancreatic, liver and bone marrow transplant recipients.
METHODS
The clinical histories of all the
Histoplasma infections in Europe are rare, and acute disseminated histoplasmosis has only been observed in immunocompromised persons. We describe a case of acute disseminated histoplasmosis in a young, nonimmunocompromised European woman. The probable source of infection was Sri Lanka or the
An outbreak of acute gastroenteritis in a kibbutz in southern Israel, characterized by diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and abdominal pain, involved 32 kibbutz members of all ages. Nineteen percent of the children and 3.5% of the adults were ill. Transmission of the illness occurred in direct proportion
Cryptococcus neoformans is the most common microorganism found in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology and causes life-threatening infections in immunocompromised hosts. Although its cytomorphologic features in conventional smear cytology have been well described, those in liquid-based cytology have
Human interleukin 1 (IL 1) has been purified to homogeneity by a procedure of molecular weight fractionation, isoelectric focusing, and preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The homogeneity of the purified material has been demonstrated by silver staining of analytical polyacrylamide gels.
