mercurialis annua/inflammation

The present study examined the effects of systemically administered calcitonin (CT, 10 IU/0.25 ml, SC) on changes in CNS monoamines (MAs) following unilateral carrageenan (CARRA)-induced inflammation in the rat hindpaw. High-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-EC)

We studied the inhibition of peroxidation by local anesthetics in an inflammatory animal model. Inflammatory lipid peroxidation was assessed by the thiobarbituric assay in plasma from rats injected or not injected with carrageenan (Carra) and killed 1, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 h thereafter.

OBJECTIVE In an attempt to better understand the time course of inflammatory mediator production or release in inflammatory joint disease, a rabbit model of acute temporomandibular joint (TMJ) inflammation was established. This model was used to evaluate the effects of specific anti-inflammatory

BACKGROUND A standardized set of quality measures for juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (JIIM) is not in use. Discordance has been shown between the importance ascribed to quality measures between patients and families and physicians. The objective of this study was to assess and compare

Hindpaw injections of carrageenan (CARRA) decreased paw withdrawal latencies to radiant heat and increased hindpaw edema. At the peak of hyperalgesia, the content of immunoreactive guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (i-cGMP) was increased, while immunoreactive adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate

BACKGROUND Mercurialis annua L., Bongardia chrysogonum L., and Viscum cruciatum Sieb have been traditionally used by local herbalists in Jordan for the treatment of hematopoietic neoplasms. OBJECTIVE To determine the anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial potentials of the three extracts

Although pain is a major human affliction, our understanding of pain mechanisms is limited. TRPV1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype 1) and TRPV4 are two crucial receptors involved in inflammatory pain, but their roles in EA- (electroacupuncture-) mediated analgesia are unknown. We

Objective: The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is higher than in the general pediatric population. However, reports of IBD in the systemic JIA (sJIA) subtype are limited. We sought to

The peripheral analgesic effects of opiates were evaluated in a rat model of inflammation. The experimental design excluded a potential central nervous system site of action for the observed analgesia. After the injection of carrageenan (CARRA) in the plantar surface of both hind paws, an opiate was

OBJECTIVE Identification of plants with anti-inflammatory activity can be successfully based on information gained through knowledge on their traditional use. This is particularly true for biodiversity-rich regions of the world such as the Mediterranean. While such approaches are often single target

OBJECTIVE To develop standardized treatment regimens for chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO), also known as chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), to enable comparative effectiveness treatment studies. METHODS Virtual and face-to-face discussions and meetings were held within the

The proven effectiveness of biologics and other immunomodulatory products in inflammatory rheumatic diseases has resulted in their widespread use as well as reports of potential short- and long-term complications such as infection and malignancy. These complications are especially worrisome in

BACKGROUND Clinically distinct autoimmune phenotypes share genetic susceptibility factors. We investigated the prevalence of familial autoimmunity among subjects with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), childhood systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) and juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) in the CARRA
