OBJECTIVE Neutrophils are implicated in the physiopathologic alterations of hemorrhagic cystitis (HC). Thus, we decided to test the antiinflammatory activity of glucose-mannose binding lectins extracted from D. violacea and D. guianensis seeds, which showed an inhibitory effect upon neutrophil

OBJECTIVE In patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) can cause serious neurological complications. Our aim was to evaluate the potential of contrast-enhanced Doppler ultrasound (CE-US) of the common carotid artery as a screening test

Edwardsiella tarda, a Gram-negative bacterium, is an important cause of hemorrhagic septicemia in fish and also of gastro- and extraintestinal infections in humans. The lipopolysaccharide produced by the fish pathogenic strain E. tarda MT 108 was isolated and the structure of its antigenic

Aceclofenac is a popular analgesic, antipyretic, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for prolonged treatment (at least three months) in musculoskeletal disorders. It is characterized by several limitations such as poor water solubility and low oral bioavailability. The main

Marine organisms have been proven to be a valuable source of bioactive compounds. Among them, we highlight the sulfated galactans (SGs) from seaweeds, which besides being massively exploited as industrial thickening and gelling agents (agarans and carrageenans), have also shown promising

Blood contamination, such as bloody ascites or hemorrhages during surgery, is a potential hazard for clinical application of fluorescence imaging. In order to overcome this problem, we investigate if fluorescence-lifetime imaging helps to overcome this problem. Samples were prepared at

Galactose-fed dogs develop retinal capillary changes similar to diabetic retinopathy with pericyte degeneration as the initial lesion. This is followed by the formation of microaneurysms, hemorrhages, and some areas of acellularity. To investigate the mechanisms for selective pericyte degeneration,

Objective: To investigate the mechanism of action of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα)-mediated CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) signaling molecule with response to inflammation in mice with acute liver failure. Methods: C57BL/6 mice were used

Short-chain (C2-C6) fatty acids constitute the major anions of colonic contents. Acetate is nontoxic in contrast to C(3)4-C6 fatty acids, which induce coma in animals and have been reported to be of importance in the development of hepatic coma in humans. An in vitro fecal incubation system was used

SB-424323 is a new, orally active anti-thrombotic agent presently in phase-II clinical development, with limited hemorrhagic risk and a unique mechanism of action involving the induction of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) biosynthesis. The objective of the present study was to develop a simple and rapid

Six normal dogs were made galactosemic by feeding a 30% D-galactose diet, and were followed up to 5 yr. For comparison, 10 normal dogs and 10 alloxan-diabetic dogs were concurrently fed the diet less the galactose supplement. Retinopathy occurred in each of four dogs glactosemic 3 or more yr, and
