The aim of the current study was to assess the in vitro effects of nickel hydroxy carbonate (NiHC) at noncytotoxic concentrations on the production of cytokines such as tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in alveolar macrophages (AMs). The effect of NiHC was evaluated
We studied 26 non-dialysed patients with chronic renal failure [creatinine clearance (CCr) 32.6 +/- 12.7 ml/min]. They were divided into three groups according to their CCr and serum intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) and were given 0.5 micrograms/day oral calcitriol (calcitriol group, n = 8), 3 g/day
The effects of nanosized lithium carbonate particles on muscle tissue structure and development of experimental hepatocarcinoma-29 transplanted into the hip were studied in CBA mice. Necrotic changes in all structural components of the muscle were detected after intramuscular injection of nanosized
It has been reported that lithium salt compounds influence hematopoiesis, which is known to be regulated by a number of cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-1 (IL-1) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Since lithium can induce TNF production in human monocytes, we wished to determine
BACKGROUND
Renal failure is associated with activation of inflammatory response, but the mechanisms behind this observation and potential anti-inflammatory strategies are yet to be defined. Endotoxin (ET) translocation from the intestinal lumen can potentially trigger systemic inflammatory response,
BACKGROUND
The aim of the present case series was to evaluate the effects of a surgical anti-infective mechanical therapy for peri-implantitis on clinical parameters and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) levels at 12 months post-therapy.
METHODS
Ten patients with peri-implantitis were treated
Ceramic materials based on calcium carbonate have been prepared in response for the demand for resorbable materials for use in bone surgery. Calcium carbonate in the form of crystalline aragonite or calcite with various amount of lithium fluoride was the raw material. Material CC-1FA from
Polylactide is a biodegradable and biocompatible biomaterial. Based on the PLA (Polylactide) membrane, we have produced a new PLA/PTMC (Polytrimethylene carbonate) blends membrane. The biological properties of this membrane were studied by cell toxicity experiment, acute toxicity experiment, skin
The physical and biologic characteristics of a new synthetic absorbable monofilament suture, glycolide trimethylene carbonate (GTMC) are presented. The suture was formulated to combine predictable in vivo performance of synthetic absorbable sutures with the handling characteristics of a monofilament
1. The toxicity of uranium in animals of different ages is associated with the power of the metal to lead to the formation of organic acids, as, for instance, diacetic acid and also acetone. 2. The power of sodium carbonate to lessen the toxicity of uranium depends upon its power to delay the
The outline which has been given of the relative toxicity of Gréhant's anesthetic in normal animals, in animals that were nephropathic from uranium and protected against the anesthetic by an alkaline solution, and in those animals which were unprotected by such a solution, furnishes the basis for
Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum, cvs. Mountain Fresh, Big Dena, and Trust) plants with symptoms of pith necrosis were received from six commercial high tunnels in Ohio during May and July 2012. Disease incidence ranged from 1 to 5%. Symptoms included wilting of shoots, dry, dark brown coalescent
Taking advantage of a standard assay on mouse LM cells (murine fibroblast-like cells), we found that several diaminic carbonates, a new class of organic compounds synthesized in our laboratories, were able to inhibit human tumor necrosis factor alpha (huTNFalpha)-induced cytotoxicity in a
A pancreatic ribonuclease digest of (14)C-labeled tobacco necrosis virus RNA was fractionated according to charge by column chromatography. Individual fractions were dephosphorylated with alkaline phosphatase and rechromatographed. The fraction, originally containing oligonucleotides with seven
