Objectives: A previous study has shown that schizophrenia (SCZ) is accompanied by lowered levels of trace/metal elements, including cesium. However, it is not clear whether changes in cesium, rubidium, and rhenium are associated with
After the Chernobyl nuclear accident, behavioural disorders and central nervous system diseases were frequently observed in populations living in the areas contaminated by (137)Cs. Until now, these neurological disturbances were not elucidated, but the presence of a neuro-inflammatory response could
Human proximal colon from patients with inflammatory bowel disease and from controls was studied by two techniques to detect tumor-associated antigen expression. A panel of four murine monoclonal antibodies that recognize tumor-associated antigens was used to test purified colonic mucins for epitope
Several acidic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) as well as their corresponding alcohol molecules which are known to induce swelling of isolated lymphocytes by changing cell membrane permeability to water, are demonstrated also to induce changes of membrane permeability of lymphoid cells
This study was designed for the histopathological, cellular and biochemical characterization of a skin lesion removed surgically from a young male several months after accidental exposure to cesium-137, with an emphasis on expression of transforming growth factor beta1 (TGFB1) and tumor necrosis
OBJECTIVE
To determine the proteolytic fragmentation patterns and N-terminal sequence of aggrecan fragments in human synovial fluid from patients with inflammatory arthritides, joint injury, or osteoarthritis (OA).
METHODS
Knee synovial fluid was obtained from patients with joint injury, OA, acute
Human colonic mucin has been isolated from mucosal scrapings of fresh surgical specimens of normal controls as well as patients with Crohn's colitis and ulcerative colitis. Following sonication and ultracentrifugation, mucin fractions were separated from other soluble colonic glycoproteins by
BACKGROUND
Interstitial pulmonary fibrosis is characterized by an altered cellular composition of the alveolar region with excessive deposition of collagen. Lung inflammation is also common in pulmonary fibrosis. This study aims to test the inhibition of 5-lipooxygenase (5-LOX) by boswellic acid
A pregnant 30-year-old female in the 34th gestational week was admitted at University "Maichin Dom" Hospital prior to childbirth. The patient is diagnosed with β-thalassemia. During laboratory screening hemoglobin of 98 g/L was established. Blood smear shows mild microcytic hypochromic
BACKGROUND
Eleven male Georgian soldiers were accidentally exposed to radiation by cesium 137 during their training in a military exercise camp in Lilo, Georgia between November 1996 and May 1997.
OBJECTIVE
The characteristic sequelae of accidental cutaneous irradiation and available diagnostic
We determined whether ubiquitylation and sumoylation processes are involved in conventional renal cell carcinogenesis associated with chronic, long-term, persistent low doses of ionizing radiation (IR) in patients living for more than 20 years in cesium-137 ((137)Cs)-contaminated areas after the
Urinary bladder urothelium as well as cells in the microenvironment of lamina propria (endothelial elements, fibroblasts and lymphocytes) demonstrate a number of responses to chronic persistent long-term, low-dose ionizing radiation (IR). Thus, oxidative stress occurs, accompanied by up-regulation
The hyaluronan (HA)-rich extracellular matrix plays dynamic roles during tissue remodeling. Versican and serum-derived HA-associated protein (SHAP), corresponding to the heavy chains of inter-α-trypsin inhibitor, are major HA-binding molecules in remodeling processes, such as wound healing. Versican
During the 13-year period subsequent to the Chernobyl accident, the morbidity of malignant renal tumors in Ukraine has increased from 4. 7 to 7.5 per 100,000 of total population. Cesium 137 ((137)Cs) accounts for 90% of the incorporated radioactivity in the Ukrainian population, which has been
Radiation induces ovarian damage and accelerates reproductive aging. Inbred mouse strains exhibit differential sensitivity to lethality induced by total body irradiation (TBI), with the BALB/cAnNCrl (BALB/c) strain being more sensitive than the 129S2/SvPasCrl (129) strain. However, whether
