lolium pratense/inflammation

New environment friendly approach for the synthesis of idrocilamide (1), the marketed myorelaxant and anti-inflammatory agent, is reported. The synthetic strategy involves a solvent free aminolysis reaction catalyzed by different zinc-containing catalysts: ZnCl2, montmorillonite K10 impregnated with

BACKGROUND Interest has recently renewed in using Lolium multiflorum Lam. (Poaceae) (called Italian ryegrass; IRG) silage as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory diet. OBJECTIVE This study investigated the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-septic potential of IRG silage and identified the

Phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced human T cell clones (TCC) derived from conjunctival flogistic tissues of 3 patients with vernal conjunctivitis produced unusually high amounts of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and no, or limited amounts of, gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma). Allergen (Dermatophagoides

BACKGROUND Pollens are important triggers for allergic asthma and seasonal rhinitis. We have recently reported that proteases released by major allergenic pollens can injure airway epithelial cells in vitro. Disruption of epithelial integrity by proteases released following deposition of pollens on

BACKGROUND The seasonal allergic conjunctivitis is an inflammatory disease of the ocular surface that affects mainly children, with predominance of male sex. It is an immunological disease with a typical reaction of hypersensitivity type 1 (IgE), resulted from several biological reactions

AIMS To determine if equine fescue oedema (EFO) induced by grazing Mediterranean-type tall fescue (Lolium arundinaceum) infected with selected endophytes (Epichloë coenophiala) could be prevented by treatment with the corticosteroid, methylprednisolone, and anti-histamine, cetirizine, and to

BACKGROUND Local allergic rhinitis (LAR) is a phenotype of rhinitis that has been poorly studied in children. It is characterized by the same symptoms of allergic rhinitis but with the absence of markers of systemic atopy. OBJECTIVE To identify children affected by LAR and to analyze the
