Clarithromycin reduces the severity of bronchial hyperresponsiveness in patients with asthma
(2004)A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled study was designed to evaluate the effects of a semisynthetic macrolide antibiotic, clarithromycin, on bronchial hyperresponsiveness to methacholine in patients with a diagnosis ... -
Cobalt induces hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha expression in airway smooth muscle cells by a reactive oxygen species- and PI3K-dependent mechanism
(2004)Cobalt can mimic hypoxia and has been implicated as a cause of lung defects. However, the effect of cobalt on airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells has not been analyzed in detail. In this article, we use primary cultures of ... -
Combined use of chondroitinase-ABC, TGF-beta 1, and collagen crosslinldng agent lysyl oxidase to engineer functional neotissues for fibiocartilage repair
(2014)Patients suffering from damaged or diseased fibrocartilages currently have no effective long-term treatment options. Despite their potential, engineered tissues suffer from inferior biomechanical integrity and an inability ... -
Cord blood as a source of non-senescent lymphocytes for tumor immunotherapy
(2010)While proof of concept that the immune system can be harnessed to attack cancer cells has been established, only a minority of patients are cured with immunotherapeutic regimens designed to enhance host autologous immunity. ... -
Curcumin analogues as possible anti-proliferative & anti-inflammatory agents
(2011)A series of novel curcumin analogues has been designed, synthesized and tested in vitro/in vivo as potential multi-target agents. Their anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory activities were studied. Compounds 1b and 2b ... -
Current and future status of ovulation induction in polycystic ovary syndrome
(1997)Great progress has been achieved during the last 20 years in the field of ovulation induction in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Clomiphene citrate remains the first line of treatment for all anovulatory ... -
Effect of dietary olive leaves and rosemary on microbial growth and lipid oxidation of turkey breast during refrigerated storage
(2010)Forty turkeys were allocated to five groups of eight birds each. One (control) was fed a basal diet while the others were fed diets supplemented with either olive leaves at 10 g/kg, rosemary at 10 g/kg, alpha-tocopheryl ... -
EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT DIETS ON THE DIGESTIVE PHYSIOLOGY OF ADULT NORWAY LOBSTER NEPHROPS NORVEGICUS
(2014)Rearing Norway lobsters for restocking is a management option to compensate fishing overexploitation, but this requires, among other topics, developing specific pellet diets. The activity of digestive enzymes and the ... -
Effects of metformin on fertilisation of bovine oocytes and early embryo development: possible involvement of AMPK3-mediated TSC2 activation
(2015)Studies on bovine oocytes have revealed that the activation of adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK) by millimolar concentrations of metformin controls nuclear maturation. Tuberous sclerosis complex 2 ... -
Effects of Systemic Pesticides Imidacloprid and Metalaxyl on the Phyllosphere of Pepper Plants
(2013)Microbes inhabiting the phyllosphere of crops are exposed to pesticides applied either directly onto plant foliage or indirectly through soil. Although, phyllosphere microbiology has been rapidly evolving, little is still ... -
Endocrinological profile and follicular development in cyclic ewes subjected to repeated ovum pick-up
(2013)Blood concentrations of progesterone, FSH and oestradiol in Karagouniko ewes subjected to laparoscopic ovum pick-up (OPU) at specific stages of induced oestrous cycle, were measured. Twenty-four cyclic ewes were randomly ... -
Endocytosis of hepatitis C virus non-enveloped capsid-like particles induces MAPK-ERK1/2 signaling events
(2010)Although HCV is an enveloped virus, naked nucleocapsids have been reported in the serum of infected patients. The HCV core particle serves as a protective capsid shell for the viral genome and recombinant in vitro assembled ... -
A feed additive containing Bacillus toyonensis (Toyocerin (R)) protects against enteric pathogens in postweaning piglets
(2015)AimsThis study evaluated the efficacy of a probiotic containing Bacillus toyonensis spores (Toyocerin((R))) in postweaning piglets against enteric pathogens. Methods and ResultsSeven hundred and ninety-two healthy weaning ... -
Fentanyl treatment reduces GABAergic inhibition in the CA1 area of the hippocampus 24 h after acute exposure to the drug
(2008)The effect of in vivo fentanyl treatment on synaptic transmission was studied in the CA1 area of the rat hippocampus. Animals were treated either with saline or fentanyl (4 x 80 mu g/kg, s.c./15 min). Intracellular in vitro ... -
Flavonoid Glycosides Isolated from Unique Legume Plant Extracts as Novel Inhibitors of Xanthine Oxidase
(2012)Legumes and the polyphenolic compounds present in them have gained a lot of interest due to their beneficial health implications. Dietary polyphenolic compounds, especially flavonoids, exert antioxidant properties and are ... -
Ghrelin: New Insights into Female Reproductive System-Associated Disorders and Pregnancy
(2012)Ghrelin is considered the endogenous ligand of growth hormone secretagogue receptor type 1a, and its modulatory actions have been demonstrated in a large array of endocrine and nonendocrine functions. According to recent ... -
Hemopoietic progenitor cells and bone marrow stromal cells in patients with autoimmune hepatitis type 1 and primary biliary cirrhosis
(2003)Background/Aims: Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been used in severe cases of autoimmunity. We investigated whether hemopoietic progenitor cells and/or bone marrow (BM) microenvironment are affected ... -
HIV-1 gp120/V3-derived epitopes promote activation-induced cell death to superantigen-stimulated CD4(+)/CD45RO(+) T cells
(2007)The third hypervirable (V3) domain of the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein gp120 has been implicated in HIV pathogenesis via co-receptor usage of chemokine receptors CCR5 and CXCR4. As the protagonist cell populations in the ... -
HIV-1 infection: Is it time to reconsider our concepts?
