Although, total paracentesis associated with human albumin substitution has shown to be a rapid, effective and safe treatment of diuretic refractory ascites in advanced liver cirrhosis, it implies high costs and has a limited availability. Therefore an alternative procedure the reinfusion of
In anesthetized, paralyzed and artificially ventilated rabbits, changes in lung resistance induced by cooling the inspired air were studied under dry air conditions. Airway response to cold was measured in normal animals and in rabbits sensitized to bovine serum albumin. The magnitude of
Albumin-based nanoparticles (NPs) are a promising technology for developing drug-carrier systems, with improved deposition and retention profiles in lungs. Improved understanding of these drug-carrier interactions could lead to better drug-delivery systems. The present study combines computational
A report is presented on systemic anaphylactic reaction [SAR] of rabbits to bovine serum albumin and ferritin. Active anaphylactic sensibilization with a high yield of sensibilized animals was achieved by administering antigens to rabbits aged a few hours up to 3 months. Tre rabbits showed no
A rhesus monkey model was developed to demonstrate the pathogenetic role of IgE to chemical hapten-protein conjugates in causing human occupational asthma from reactive chemicals. Serum from a worker with trimellitic anhydride (TMA) asthma that contained high titers of IgE, IgG, IgM, and IgA to
Theophylline, popular diuretic, is used to treat asthma and bronchospasm. In blood it forms complexes with albumin, which is also the main transporter of fatty acids. The aim of the present study was to describe the influence of fatty acids (FA) on binding of theophylline (Th) to human serum albumin
A 50-y-old male worker developed an asthmatic reaction after exposure to bichromate in a metal-plating plant. Evaluation included skin tests, bronchial provocation tests, and specific radioallergosorbent tests with metal salts. A 49-y-old worker who suffered from hard metal asthma was the control.
In a guinea-pig model of asthma, active immunization against substance P (SP) prevented the development of airways' hyperresponsiveness and reduced bronchospastic responses to SP (i.v.). The rat-mouse heterohybridoma NC1/34 secretes a specific, rat IgG1, anti-substance P antibody (alpha-SP Ab) which
BACKGROUND
Inhalation of hypertonic or even isotonic saline during sputum induction may cause bronchospasm in susceptible patients with asthma, despite premedication with 400 microg inhaled salbutamol delivered by pressurised metered dose inhaler (pMDI). The bronchoprotection afforded by additional
Systemic anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic reaction and its pathologic conditions, such as edema, bronchospasm, and hypotension, have been attributed to release of vasoactive mediators. Heat shock protein (HSP) is known to play a protective role in living cells under various stresses. In
To examine endogenous factors affecting the development of the massive bronchoconstriction in the postmortem guinea pig lung, 58 anesthetized open-chest animals were divided into three groups: 1) exsanguination only (n = 13), 2) pulmonary perfusion with 5% dextran and 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA)
BACKGROUND
Bovine seroalbumin is known as an allergen for human beings, but reactions to it in an artificial insemination procedure are much rarer. We report a case of anaphylaxis after intrauterine insemination (IUI) in which sensitization to bovine serum albumin (BSA) is
The anti-CD25 immunotoxin (IT), RFT5-SMPT-dgA, was used in a phase I dose escalation trial in patients with refractory Hodgkin's lymphoma. The IT was constructed by linking the monoclonal antibody RFT5 via a sterically hindered disulfide linker to deglycosylated ricin-A. All patients in this trial
E-721B and its aqueous extract were studied for its antiasthmatic effect in various experimental models using rats and guinea pigs. E-721B produced significant and dose-dependent inhibition of peritoneal mast-cell degranulation induced by compound 48/80 and egg-albumin in sensitised rats. The
BACKGROUND
The involvement of debilitating side effects of allopathic antiasthmatic drugs provides a strong impetus for the development of new herbal therapeutics. Myrica nagi Thunb. (Syn. Kaiphal) of Myricaceae family is a known drug of the Ayurveda system used for the treatment of several diseases
