We used technetium-99m antimony colloid to visualize the bone marrow of the head of the femur within twenty-four hours after interruption of the blood supply by subcapital osteotomy and section of the ligamentum teres in thirteen rabbits and within twenty-four hours after a subcapital fracture in
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate and characterize the efficacy of asiaticoside in an experimental model of visceral leishmaniasis caused by antimony-susceptible (AG83) and -resistant (GE1F8R and K39) Leishmania donovani.
METHODS
The effect of asiaticoside was evaluated by
Experimental and clinical experience with compounds containing antimony have shown that the trivalent compounds are generally more toxic than the pentavalent ones. APT can cause severe pain and tissue necrosis and is therefore not given by intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. APT has the actions
Serum concentrations of soluble receptors for tumor necrosis factor (sTNFRs) were measured before and after antimony therapy in 25 Sudanese patients with active visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Both sTNFR types I and II were significantly elevated in patients with VL compared with healthy controls from
OBJECTIVE
To describe the histopathological and microanalytical features in seven cases of ruptured Apex(R) polyester (Terylene(R)) fibre anterior cruciate ligament prosthesis.
RESULTS
Transmitted and polarized light microscopy was performed in all cases; one case was investigated by
Antimony potassium tartrate (APT) is a complex salt that until recently was used worldwide as an antischistosomal drug. Treatment was efficacious only if APT was administered intravenously to humans at a near lethal total dose of 36 mg/kg. Because unconfirmed epidemiologic studies suggested there

Frequently the primary lesion of high-risk cutaneous melanoma (level III, greater than or equal to 1.5mm; greater than or equal to 1.0 mm with ulceration) is in an ambiguous lymphatic drainage site on the trunk, pelvic and shoulder girdles, and head and neck area. Lymphoscintigrams were performed by
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) is a mediator of inflammation and has an important role in human and experimental renal diseases. Pentoxifylline (PTX) has been shown to inhibit cytokine synthesis, including TNF-alpha. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of PTX on meglumine
OBJECTIVE
The objectives of the research were to study how antimony (Sb) chemical form present in the growth medium can affect Sb uptake by plants and estimate effects of Sb on wheat and rye seedlings, in particular, assess variations in concentrations of nutrients resulting from bioaccumulation of

Early cutaneous leishmaniasis (ECL) is characterized by a nonulcerated papular lesion and illness duration less than 30 days. Approximately 4 weeks later, the cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) ulcers appear. We were surprised to find that failure after antimony therapy (Sb5) is higher in ECL
Pentavalent antimony complexes, such as sodium stibogluconate and sodium antimony gluconate (SAG), are still the first choice for chemotherapy against various forms of leishmaniasis, including visceral leishmaniasis, or kala-azar. Although the requirement of a somewhat functional immune system for
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-deficient mice were challenged with Leishmania donovani to characterize TNF in the response of visceral intracellular infection to antileishmanial chemotherapy. In wild-type controls (i) liver infection peaked at week 2 and resolved, (ii) discrete liver granulomas
Mucosal leishmaniasis is characterized by an intense inflammatory reaction and tissue damage with few parasites in the lesion. On the basis of previous observations that suggest a possible role of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in the pathology of this disease, an open-label study was
BACKGROUND
Mucosal leishmaniasis is associated with intense tissue damage and high tumor necrosis factor-alpha production. Therapeutic failure occurs in up to 42% of cases; patients who experience treatment failure will require >1 pentavalent antimony (Sb(v)) course or alternative drugs to achieve a
