In a previous publication rats were shown to develop a marked positive sodium balance 6 days after injection of 1 microgram colchicine into their anterior forebrains. This was thought to be the normal hydromineral balance response to correct an hypothesised colchicine-induced decrease in blood
The modification of peritoneal cells derivation method proposed for the peritoneum rat, and the absolute amount of peritoneal lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, stem and polymorphonuclear neutrophyles, mat cells was determined. The procedure of acute 2% blood loss was found to reduce the total
Widespread brain-derived neurotrophic factor messenger RNA expression has been detected in the region of catecholamine groups of the rat lower brainstem, while few brain-derived neurotrophic factor-immunoreactive cells were found in this area. In the present study, a double-color immunofluorescence
BACKGROUND
Post-haemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) after intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) remains a significant problem in preterm infants. Due to serious disadvantages of ventriculoperitoneal shunt dependence, there is an urgent need for non-surgical interventions. Considerable
The majority of patients with familial Mediterranean fever have a random pattern of attacks without a clear prodrome. Continuous prophylaxis with colchicine has been shown to reduce the frequency of attacks. It is generally considered undesirable, however, to expose young patients to the potential
The major cause of death in paraquat poisoning is a rapidly progressive respiratory failure due to an oxidative insult to the alveolar epithelium with subsequent fulminant obliterating fibrosis. The present study evaluates the effectiveness of vitamin E in combination with colchicine in ameliorating
Human adrenal cortical tumor cells (SW-13) grow into a typical epithelial cell monolayer when seeded onto culture dishes. The cells of the SW-13 population monolayer appear flattened with few conspicuous surface features. The cells are attached to one another at their lateral borders and are
Previously we showed that expansion of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) into the internal capsule greatly aggravated neurological symptoms in mice. Here we examined ICH-associated events in the internal capsule with relation to neurological dysfunction. Corticospinal axons labeled by biotinylated
BACKGROUND
Colchicine, an inhibitor of collagen synthesis, has been suggested as potentially beneficial in cirrhosis.
OBJECTIVE
This long-term, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial was conducted in order to evaluate the efficacy of colchicine in alcoholic cirrhosis.
METHODS
Ambulatory
Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a cholestatic liver disease characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the biliary tract. The cause of the disease is unknown, and no effective medical treatment exists. In this study, 12 patients received a combination of low-dose prednisone (10 mg/day) and
Behçet's disease is a systemic inflammatory disease, which predisposes patients to venous or arterial thrombosis. We report a case of 41-year-old patient who presented for several years with recurrent fevers, arthralgias, episodes of skin eruptions and recurrent bilateral deep venous ileofemoral
BACKGROUND
We present a case of fusiform intracranial aneurysm where, apart from the unusual site, we draw attention to the form of clinical presentation, namely intraventricular haemorrhage. Clinical case. A 68 year-old-man with a history of smoking, hyperuricemia with seizures of gout treated with
BACKGROUND
Pericarditis following influenza vaccination is a rare complication. The few cases reported in the literature were all benign.
METHODS
An 87 year-old man developed a haemorrhagic pericarditis following an influenza vaccination. The outcome was rapidly favourable after surgical
