triamine/inflammation

Intratracheal administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in animals is a commonly used model of acute lung injury, characterized by increased alveolar-capillary membrane permeability causing protein-rich edema, inflammation, deterioration of lung mechanical function and impaired gas exchange.

Several investigators have reported retention of indium-111 in infectious foci after intravenous injection of 111In-labelled immunoglobulin G (IgG). With this study we intended to test the hypothesis that, upon administration of 111In-diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA-IgG), 111In is

Inflammation that develops in the brain and peripheral organs after stroke contributes profoundly to poor outcome of patients. However, mechanisms through which inflammation impacts on brain injury and overall outcome are improperly understood, in part because the earliest inflammatory events after

The possible scintigraphic detection of active inflammation of the bowel was studied after injection of Tc diethylene triamine pentacetic acid (DTPA). The study included 5 cases of proven active colitis ulcerosa or Crohn's disease and 6 volunteers without any gastrointestinal complaints. No

OBJECTIVE To demonstrate a variety of MR imaging findings of orbital inflammatory pseudotumors with extraorbital extension. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the MR features of five patients, who were diagnosed clinically and radiologically as having an orbital inflammatory pseudotumor with

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the inflammatory activity in thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO) by 99mTc-diethylene triamine pentaaceticacid (99mTc-DTPA) orbital single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT. Methods: A total of 48 patients were enrolled from Xiangya Hospital of Central South

To investigate the values of orbital single photon emission computed tomography/computerized tomography (SPECT/CT) with 99mTc-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) on the evaluation of lacrimal gland inflammation in patients with thyroid associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). Methods: A total

Lipid nanocapsules (LNCs) are semi-rigid spherical capsules with a triglyceride core that present a promising formulation option for the pulmonary delivery of drugs with poor aqueous solubility. Whilst the biodistribution of LNCs of different size has been studied following intravenous

Respiratory disease and subclinical pulmonary abnormalities are recognised complications of both coeliac disease (CD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) but the pathogenesis of the lung disease remains uncertain. We have studied lung function, including permeability measured by clearance of

BACKGROUND Pulmonary clearance of inhaled technetium (Tc) 99m-labeled diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (DTPA) aerosol is a sensitive non-invasive marker of alveolar permeability and patients with interstitial lung diseases show enhanced clearance. However, a previous study in adult patients

Hypertrophic nerves have occasionally been seen in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), but most are in the cauda equina. We report a case with CIDP in whom magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (Gd-DTPA) enhancement demonstrated

The aim of the study was to investigate possible mechanisms of epithelial injury in normal subjects exposed to environmentally relevant concentrations of ozone. Fifteen healthy non-smoking subjects (M:F 12:3) were studied. Five of the 15 subjects were exposed to filtered air, six were exposed to

Electrostatic effects play an important role in protein interactions and may alter the biodistribution of antibodies. To study the effect of molecular charge of the biodistribution and infection imaging properties of human polyclonal immunoglobulin G (IgG), its isoelectric point was varied by

Bipiperidyl mustard and a neurotoxic triamine are known to cause edematous and/or necrotizing lesions in particular areas of hypothalamus and dorsal medulla but not in spinal cord. Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAR) causes widespread inflammatory lesions that are especially numerous in

Radiolabeled cell-surface peptide receptor-binding molecules are emerging as an important class of radiopharmaceuticals. Their binding to specific cell membrane receptors allows for noninvasive assessment of regional receptor proteomics in vivo. Information thus obtained can be used for diagnostic
