Cytokine levels in the sera of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(2006)
Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a fibroprotiferative disorder. Cytokines contribute an important but yet undefined role to its pathogenesis. Objectives: The present study aims to compare serum levels of ...
The flavonoid quercetin induces hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) and inhibits cell proliferation by depleting intracellular iron
(2007)
Quercetin, a flavonoid with anti- oxidant, metal chelating, kinase modulating and anti- proliferative properties, can induce hypoxia- inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) in normoxia, but its mechanism of action has not ...
Effect of amiloride in human and sheep parietal pleura
(2002)
The fluid and solute transport properties of human parietal pleura were studied and compared with sheep parietal pleura in vitro. The pleura was mounted as a planar sheet between Ussing-type chambers. The results presented ...
Physiology of pericardial fluid production and drainage
(2015)
The pericardium is one of the serosal cavities of the mammals. It consists of two anatomical structures closely connected, an external sac of fibrous connective tissue, that is called fibrous pericardium and an internal ...
mu-Opioid influence on transmesothelial resistance of isolated sheep pleura and parietal pericardium
(2006)
The effect of morphine (mu-opioid receptor agonist) on the transmesotbelial resistance (R-TM) of sheep's pleura and parietal pericardium was studied using the Ussing chamber technique. Basal transmesothelial resistance of ...
The role of nitric oxide in the pathophysiology of bronchial asthma
(1998)
OBJECTIVE: To study in vitro the role of nitric oxide (NO), in the pathophysiology of asthma observing the effections of a NO-donor such as sodium nitroprusside, a calcium (Ca) channel inhibitor nifedipine or neurotransmitter ...
Depression and pulmonary function in outpatients with asthma
(2004)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between depression, anxiety and pulmonary function in asthmatics. Thirty-eight adult asthmatic patients underwent psychometric evaluation with the DSSI/sAD questionnaire, ...
Ranolazine Enhances the Antiarrhythmic Activity of Amiodarone by Accelerating Conversion of New-Onset Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery
(2014)
Ranolazine is a relatively novel antiischemic/antianginal compound with antiarrhythmic properties. We investigated its ability to shorten the time to conversion of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) when added to ...
