Previous studies have suggested that LFA-3 has an important role in a number of chronic inflammatory pathologies, although an active role for LFA-3 within in vivo inflammatory reactions has not previously been directly observed in humans. To assess the importance of LFA-3 in this process, this study
BACKGROUND
To study the potential benefit of the traditional Mexican medicinal plant Galium mexicanum Kunth (Rubiaceae). Hexane, chloroform, and methanol extracts as well as various fractions from these extracts were tested to determine antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic or anti-inflammatory
The interaction of the novel quinazoline (E)-4-(2-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)hydrazinyl)quinazoline (L) with Zn2+ was performed in the absence or presence of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug sodium diclofenac (Nadicl) and resulted in the formation of complexes
Mucosal addressin cell adhesion molecule (MAdCAM-1) plays a pivotal role in T-lymphocyte homing to the gut. Given the strong association between the autoimmune liver diseases primary sclerosing cholangitis and autoimmune hepatitis and inflammatory bowel disease, we investigated the role of MAdCAM-1
We have analyzed leukocyte to lung adhesive interactions and neutrophil-mediated lung injury using a rat lung organ culture system. Rat lung slices were maintained in tissue culture on gelatin sponges floating at the gas-liquid interface. Maintenance of three-dimensional alveolar structure, critical
In the present study, the immunomodulatory effects of Galium mite, a native herb used for the treatment of inflammation in Iranian traditional medicine, was investigated. The methanolic extract of the plant was prepared and examined for in vivo cell-mediated and humoral immunity against antigen in
This study was conducted to evaluate the burn wound healing and antioxidant activity of methanolic and aqueous extracts of Galium odoratum (L.) Scop. in rats. Second degree burn wounds were induced in six groups of six rats each. Groups 1 and 2 received eucerin and silver sulfadiazine as control and
Tissue eosinophilia is a characteristic feature of a number of inflammatory diseases including asthma and nasal polyposis. Eosinophil migration into tissues is controlled in part by interactions between eosinophil adhesion receptors and counter-structures on the vascular endothelium. To determine
The plantain Plantago australis Lam. (Plantaginaceae) is a herbaceous species native to southern Brazil that is known for the analgesic, antibiotic, and anti-inflammatory properties of its leaf extracts (2). Powdery mildew was observed on wild P. australis plants in the cities of Tapejara, Jari, and
Renal inflammatory conditions are characterized by mononuclear cell recruitment to sites of inflammation. We have developed a modified Stamper-Woodruff assay system to analyze mechanisms of functional T cell adhesion to cryostat sections of renal biopsy material from patients with vasculitic
Kidney transplant rejection is an inflammatory process characterized by lymphocyte infiltration. Our earlier observations have shown that peritubular capillary endothelium (PTCE) is the site of lymphocyte entry into the rejecting renal allograft. During rejection, PTCE begins to express sialyl Lewis
OBJECTIVE
Cardiomyocyte apoptosis (CA) is known to occur in experimental coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) myocarditis. However, the mechanisms of CA induction are not well known. In this study we investigate the role of direct viral induction of CA in CVB3 myocarditis.
METHODS
A/J mice were infected with
BACKGROUND
Acute heart failure is a potentially fatal manifestation of viral myocarditis. Development of myocardial damage in myocarditis involves cardiomyocyte apoptosis. Levosimendan is a novel calcium sensitizing inotropic agent with anti-apoptotic properties. We studied the feasibility of
Lymphoid tumors display a wide variety of growth patterns in vivo, from that of a solitary extralymphoid tumor, to a general involvement of all lymphoid organs. Normal lymphocytes are uniquely mobile cells continuously recirculating between blood and lymph throughout much of their life cycle.
BACKGROUND
Galium species have been traditionally used for its anti-cancer, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and cardioprotective effects in the folk medicine. Galium aparine (GA) is a typical climbing plant growing widespread in Anatolia.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the potential
