iris/albumin

The introduction of antigen into the anterior chamber of an eye induces the antigen-specific suppression of cell-mediated immunity and the antigen-induced production of immunoglobulin G2 antibodies. To define further the role of iris monocytic cells in the systemic suppression of cell-mediated

The sensitive measurement of biomolecular interactions has use in many fields and industries such as basic biology and microbiology, environmental/agricultural/biodefense monitoring, nanobiotechnology, and more. For diagnostic applications, monitoring (detecting) the presence, absence, or abnormal

The effects of leukotrienes (LTs) on the blood-aqueous barrier in the guinea pig were investigated. Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) and D4 (LTD4) were administered in doses of 1 to 1000 ng into the anterior chamber. Plasma extravasation was determined as extravascular 125I-albumin levels in the iris-ciliary

BACKGROUND The degenerative retinal diseases are one of the major causes of visual loss in the western world. Although heterologous RPE transplants rescue the photoreceptors in the dystrophic rat model, rejection remains a major limiting factor. Given the common embryonic origin, iris pigment

BACKGROUND Gall bladder cancer (GBC) has high prevalence in the Indo-Gangetic belt in India. While the first-line chemotherapy (CT1) has been established as gemcitabine-platinum doublet in advanced GBC, there is no standard recommendation or guidelines regarding feasibility of second-line

Acute anterior immunogenic uveitis of varying degree was induced in rabbits by the injection of human serum albumin into the vitreous body. After fixation and drying by the critical point method, the lens, the zonules, the vitreous and, in some specimens, coagulated exudate were removed by careful

BACKGROUND Recent genomic technologies have propelled our understanding of the mechanisms underlying complex eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Genotyping postmortem eye tissues for known single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with AMD may prove valuable,

OBJECTIVE This phase II trial first describes the combination chemotherapy of biweekly irinotecan plus S-1 (biweekly IRIS) for pretreated advanced gastric cancer (AGC) patients. METHODS Patients who had previously been treated with greater than or equal to one regimen were enrolled. They received

A series of specific macromolecules (tetanus toxin, cholera toxin, nerve growth factor [NGF], and several lectins) have been shown to be transported retrogradely with high selectivity from terminals to cell bodies in various types of neurons. Under identical experimental conditions (low protein

BACKGROUND Alterations of the integrity of the blood-aqueous barrier (BAB) are frequent findings in eyes with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PSX). METHODS Immunohistochemical staining for the demonstration of albumin was used to analyze the BAB in 10 eyes with PSX without previous intraocular surgery

The current study evaluates the indices of glucose control for diabetics (i.e., glycated albumin (GA), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), plasma glucose (PG) and immuno-reactive insulin (IRI)) in non-diabetic children from a population-based cohort, and compares those values according to the presence of

Following the induction of immunogenic uveitis betamethasone and dexamethasone reduced conjunctiva and iris hyperemia and aqueous flare. Indomethacin reduced iris hyperemia, but potentiated conjunctival hyperemia. All three agents inhibited the increase in the protein content of the aqueous that

BACKGROUND Urinary albumin excretion (UAE) is a marker of the early phase of diabetic nephropathy. Although a low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) has been shown to effectively improve glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), its effects on UAE remain unknown. METHODS A total of 124 patients

In order to check the entrance site of serum albumin into the aqueous humor, rabbits were injected intravenously either with Evans blue (which reacts very quickly with albumin) or horseradish peroxidase. The Evans blue-albumin complex (Eb-a) was traced to the posterior chamber as early as 1 min
