Nano-TiO2 particles impair adhesion of airway epithelial cells to fibronectin
(2013)Titanium dioxide engineered nanoparticles (nano-TiO2) are widely used in the manufacturing of a number of products. Due to their size (<100 nm), when inhaled they may be deposited in the distal lung regions and damage Clara ... -
A Novel Experimental Animal Model of Arterial Stenosis Based on Endovascular Radiofrequency Energy Application
(2011)Purpose: To develop a new rabbit model of arterial stenosis using endovascular radiofrequency (RF) energy. Materials and Methods: Ten rabbits were used for multiple endovascular RF applications to the aorta and left common ... -
Population-specific Frequencies for LRRK2 Susceptibility Variants in the Genetic Epidemiology of Parkinson's Disease (GEO-PD) Consortium
(2013)BackgroundVariants within the leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 gene are recognized as the most frequent genetic cause of Parkinson's disease. Leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 variation related to disease susceptibility displays ... -
Pre-training administration of anesthetic ketamine differentially affects rats' spatial and non-spatial recognition memory
(2009)There is poor experimental evidence concerning the effects of anesthetic doses of the non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist ketamine on rodents' memory abilities. The present study was designed to investigate a) the ... -
Repeated administration of the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NAME differentially affects rats' recognition memory
(2011)Nitric oxide (NO) is sought to be an intracellular messenger in the central nervous system and its implication in learning and memory is well documented. Compounds that inhibit nitric oxide synthase (NOS), the key synthesizing ... -
Role of Hyperglycemia in Isogeneic Islet Transplantation: An Experimental Animal Study
(2008)Objective: Study the role of hyperglycemia-induced beta cell loss on grafted islet destruction. Design: Male inbred rats were made diabetic by streptozotocin administration and used as islet donors and/or isograft recipients ... -
Tannins, xenobiotic metabolism and cancer chemoprevention in experimental animals
(1999)Tannins are plant polyphenolic compounds that are contained in large quantities in food and beverages (tea, red wine, nuts, etc.) consumed by humans daily. It has been shown that various tannins exert broad cancer ... -
Upregulation of antiphospholipid antibodies following cyclophosphamide therapy in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
(2008)Objective. We have observed several cases of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who developed antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) or full blown antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) after being successfully treated ... -
Urate crystals induce NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent IL-1 beta secretion and proliferation in isolated primary human T-cells
(2015)Background: Urate through NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-dependent caspase-1 activation stimulates macrophages to secrete inteleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta). Urate also enhances adaptive ...
