Particulate matter (PM) from atmospheric pollution can easily deposit in the lungs and induce recruitment of inflammatory cells, a source of inflammatory cytokines, oxidants, and matrix metalloproteases (MMPs), which are important players in lung structural homeostasis. In many large cities, the

The complete genomic sequence of a novel potyvirus was determined from Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis. Its genomic RNA consists of 9,660 nucleotides (nt) excluding the 3'-terminal poly (A) tail, containing the typical open reading frame (ORF) of potyviruses and encoding a putative large

Paris daisy (Argyranthemum frutescens) is an economically important crop on the Riviera Ligure (Northern Italy), where approximately 10 million plants per year are produced for export. In September 1997, a serious wilt of plants (cv. Camilla) grown in plastic pots (14 to 18 cm in diameter) was

OBJECTIVE To review our experiences with giant mandibular ameloblastoma (GMA) over a 5-year period, and to formulate a treatment algorithm for managing this tumour. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all GMA patients who underwent segmental mandibulectomy and immediate free fibular

A macrosurgical technique of thyrotracheal harvesting and direct revascularization with and without venous drainage in a heterotopic thyrotracheal and immunosuppressed allograft in the pig model is described. Harvesting included en bloc cervicothoracic exenteration of the aortic arch and its

BACKGROUND Non-heartbeating-donor (NHBD) lung transplantation could help reduce the current organ shortage. Polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) activation plays a pivotal role in ischemia-reperfusion injury (I-R), and can be inhibited by nitric oxide (NO). We hypothesized that inhaled NO might be

Inhibition of polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) adhesion to the pulmonary endothelium attenuates ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) lung injury. We hypothesized that 3'-sulfated Lewis(a) (SuLa), a potent ligand for the selectin adhesion molecules, may have a beneficial effect on I/R lung injury, as

OBJECTIVE Fifty percent of patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) show no response to alpha-interferon, and no alternative therapy has thus far proven to be effective. Therapeutic combination with ribavirin and alpha-interferon has shown promising results in naive patients and in relapsers,

BACKGROUND The transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels have emerged as important cellular sensors in both neuronal and non-neuronal cells, with TRPA1 playing a central role in nociception and neurogenic inflammation. The functionality of TRP channels has been shown to be modulated by

OBJECTIVE Soft tissue necrosis is reported in up to 26% of patients undergoing radiotherapy for penile cancer. Management options include local irrigation, wound debridement, antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medication, and analgesics. Refractory lesions may be treated with partial penectomy.

OBJECTIVE To report 26 cases of acute retinal necrosis (ARN) in HIV-infected patients, to compare these data with the literature and to discuss the clinical spectrum of ARN during HIV infection. METHODS Twenty-six HIV-infected patients with ARN, collected from five ophthalmology departments in Paris

OBJECTIVE To determine an aetiological diagnosis in patients presenting with necrotising retinopathies that simulate acute retinal necrosis (ARN). METHODS Retrospective non-comparative case series. The charts of 16 patients presenting with a clinical impression of ARN at Pitie-Salpetriere Hospital,

Background: Coronaviruses can induce the production of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumour necrosis factor, and other cytokines implicated in autoinflammatory disorders. It has been postulated that anakinra, a recombinant IL-1 receptor

We recommend simply removing an enchondroma without filling the cavity with cancellous bone or plaster-of-Paris. This method can also be applied to other benign bone conditions, such as aseptic necrosis.

Low-dose-rate interstitial implants generally involve a range of dose rates varying from about 0.3 to 1.5 Gy/h. It has been a matter of some debate as to whether such a variation in dose rate has any impact on clinical results, i.e. whether implant treatment time needs to be taken into account when
