Infectious Pancreatic Necrosis virus (IPNV) is traditionally detected in adherent leucocytes using immunofluorescence labelled specific antibodies, PCR or by further cultivation of infected cell material in cell lines. We present a flow cytometry (FCM) assay for detection of intracellular IPNV in
Previous studies indicate that pretreatment with acetone or isopropanol, fasting, and streptozotocin-induced diabetes enhance hepatic microsomal nitroso-dimethylamine (NDMA) demethylase in rats. This study demonstrates that these same treatments also potentiate the hepatotoxicity of NDMA as
Skin irritant reactions are under the control of a network of cytokines and lipid mediators. This study characterized the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF) induced by a skin irritant treatment, tributyltin (TBT), in mice through transcription factor activation and its pharmacologic
12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), the most potent skin tumor promoter known, evokes significant inflammatory responses in mouse skin after topical application. Infiltrating inflammatory cells have been hypothesized to contribute to genetic damage in epidermal cells through the generation
Thinners are mixtures of organic solvents commonly containing toluene, xylene, acetone, hexane, benzene and methyl isobutyl ketone. This report describes a case of rhabdomyolysis with acute tubular necrosis and renal failure, most likely attributable to toluene, following occupational exposure to
Bovine aorta endothelial cells (BAECs) were used to determine the effect of ketone bodies and glucose on in vitro interferon (IFN), tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and nitric oxide (NO) production. BAECs were incubated for 4 and 24h with the ketone bodies: 3.8mmol/l beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), 1mmol/l
BACKGROUND
The present study was aimed at examining the effect of dehydrozingerone (DHZ), half analogue of curcumin which is the active constituent of turmeric (Curcuma longa) in the di-nitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) induced model for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
METHODS
Male Wistar rats (200-220 g)
Previous studies in our laboratory have shown that the protein toxin ricin induces an oxidative stress in mice, resulting in increased urinary excretion of malondialdehyde (MDA), formaldehyde (FA), and acetone (ACON). Other toxicants have been shown to induce oxidative stress by macrophage
The effect of acetone pretreatment (5% in drinking water for 10 days on rat liver metabolism and toxicity of thiobenzamide (TB) was investigated. Hepatic microsomes from acetone-pretreated rats showed a significant increase of TB-S-oxidation rate which, on the basis of selective thermal inactivation
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a proinflammatory cytokine playing a part in various pathological states. Non-toxic inhibitors of TNF-alpha release are thought to be promising agents for cancer prevention. We found that the acetone fraction of the tobacco leaf surface lipid containing
Acetone extract of whole fruit powder of M. charantia (bitter gourd) in doses 25, 50 and 75 mg/100 g body weight lowered the blood glucose from 13.30 to 50% after 8 to 30 days treatment in alloxan diabetic albino rats, confirming antihyperglycemic effect of this plant in diabetic animals and humans.
The 80% aqueous acetone extract of Zedoariae Rhizoma was found to show a protective effect against D-galactosamine (D-GalN)/lipopolysaccharide-induced acute liver injury in mice. To clarify the active compounds, the principal constituents were examined and 11 sesquiterpenes (furanodiene, curdione,
BACKGROUND
The development of hyperalgesia and allodynia after chronic constrictive injury (CCI) is associated with significantly increased tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β. Theoretically, if the production of TNF-α and/or IL-1β could be reduced, neuropathic pain syndrome may be
BACKGROUND
Haruan, Channa striatus, is a freshwater fish which has been well-known locally to accelerate wound healing during post-operative and post-partum periods. The fish extract also has potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties.
OBJECTIVE
To assess topical anti-inflammatory effect of
Operation for pancreonecrosis was carried out in 197 patients, in 52 (26.4%) of them the disease was of alcoholic etiology. The disease was marked by severe clinical manifestations with the development of respiratory, hemodynamic, and peritoneal syndromes and their complications, and by psychic
