Gardos channel, the erythrocyte Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel (K(Ca)3.1), is considered a major regulator of red blood cell (RBC) volume by mediating efflux of potassium and thus cell dehydration and shrinkage. However, the functional importance of K(Ca)3.1 in RBC in vivo is incompletely understood.
An unclassified case of haemolytic anaemia with voluminous splenomegaly is reported. This anaemia was normocytic without any specific morphologic aspect of red blood cells (RBC); Coombs test was negative; the osmotic fragility was normal; the increased autohaemolysis was not affected by the presence
We investigated the effects of carrageenans (CAR) on mouse hematopoiesis, one of the many biologic systems affected by these galactan polysaccharides. Mice were injected intravenously with potassium CAR (K+-CAR) or iota CAR (I-CAR) and studied for 7 or 14 days, respectively, thereafter. Treatment
Hereditary Xerocytosis (HX) is an autosomal dominantly inherited congenital hemolytic anemia associated with erythrocyte dehydration due to decreased intracellular potassium content resulting in increased mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration. The affected members of HX families show compensated
HPA 39 is a tungsto-antimoniate compound, closely related to the mineral consensed ion HPA 23, from which it differs only by the presence of a potassium instead of a sodium ion inside the central cage. A single parenteral injection of HPA 39 on the same day as virus inoculation decreased the
Incubated mixtures of PR8 influenza virus and Rauscher leukemia virus retained the egg infectivity and hemagglutinin of the influenza virus and the ability of the Rauscher virus to induce splenomegaly in mice. Density-gradient centrifugation on potassium citrate gradients revealed a new interviral
BACKGROUND
Rhodococcus (R) equi is an opportunistic, uncommon human pathogen that causes mainly infection in immunocompromised hosts. The disease is usually presented as subacute pneumonia that is mostly cavitary and sometimes bacteremic.
METHODS
We reported the extremly rare case of a 43-year-old
A three-month oral subacute toxicity study of mofezolac (N-22), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent, was performed using dose levels of 6, 20, 60 and 200 mg/kg in rats, and recovery was also assessed one month after withdrawal. 1. Toxic signs caused by N-22 administration, observed only in the
Naturally occurring monoterpenes are known for their various pharmacological activities including anti-inflammation. KV1.3 ion channel is a voltage-gated potassium channel and has been validated as a drug target for autoimmune and chronic inflammatory diseases like psoriasis. Here we
METHODS
A 16-year-old man experienced fatigue, vomiting and diffuse abdominal pain. Since 4 days he had myalgia in both arms and legs. On examination only a tachycardia of 110/min was noticed.
METHODS
Laboratory tests revealed hemoglobin 12.7 g/dl, leucocytes 10,300/microliter, platelets
Characterized by bone marrow dysplasia and peripheral blood monocytosis, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) is one of the most aggressive chronic leukemias and has a propensity for progression to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Patients with newly diagnosed AML generally present with symptoms
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic flatworm disease that infects over 200 million people worldwide, especially in poor communities. Treatment and control of the disease rely on just one drug, praziquantel. Since funding for drug development for poverty-associated diseases is very limited, drug
Dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis (DHSt) is an autosomal dominant congenital hemolytic anemia with moderate splenomegaly and often compensated hemolysis. Affected red cells are characterized by a nonspecific cation leak of the red cell membrane, reflected in elevated sodium content, decreased
The authors performed a late evaluation of a distal splenorenal anastomosis minimum of five years following operation on 13 patients with schistosomiasis of the compensated liver-splenic type. The study of the anastomosis had been proven patent when the evaluation took place. Each patient underwent
