The ovine brucellosis caused by Brucella ovis has tropism for reproductive tissues but until now the mechanism of bacterial persistence is not understood. Cytokine expression profiles were studied for 8 months in rams after being experimentally infected with the rough virulent strain of B. ovis
Virulence of the intracellular pathogen Brucella for humans is mainly associated with its lipopolysaccharide (LPS) phenotype, with smooth LPS phenotypes generally being virulent and rough ones not. The reason for this association is not quite understood. We now demonstrate by flow cytometry,
The lung is constantly exposed to immune stimulation by LPS from inhaled microorganisms. A primary mechanism to maintain immune homeostasis is based on anti-inflammatory regulation by surfactant protein A (SP-A), a secreted component of lung innate immunity. The architecture of LPS aggregates is
Anti-inflammatory drugs inhibit inflammation, particularly those classified as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Several studies have reported that propolis has both anti-ulcerogenic and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we investigated the bioactive compound and in vivo
The administration of rough hydrophilic extract of Eryngium maritimum L. to intact rats inhibits carrageenin induced paw oedema, but it is inactive against cotton pellet granuloma; moreover, the extract does not reduce the weight of thymus, adrenals and spleen. These data show that the
Levels of IL-1beta, IL-6, TNFalpha, IL-10 and TGF-beta in blood and wound of 56 patients with odontogenic phlegmons in dynamic of infection process were expected. In accordance with known facts production of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6, TNFalpha in blood in acute phase of the
Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) bears a defect in its LPS biosynthesis leading to truncated variable oligosaccharide-antigen chains and a semi-rough phenotype. It is effectively inactivated by complement factors due to resolved serum resistance and is, therefore, safe as a probiotic strain, i.e.
The essentiality of zinc for humans was recognized only 40 years ago. Zinc deficiency was suspected to occur in Iranian patients with growth retardation, hypogonadism in males, hepato-splenomegaly, rough and dry skin, geophagia and severe iron deficiency anemia. Later we documented zinc deficiency
1 The site of the analgesic action of tolmetin sodium was investigated by use of the acetic acid writhing test in rats. 2 Tolmetin sodium was administered to the rat between 15 and 60 min after intraperitoneal injection of 1 ml of a 1% acetic acid aqueous solution. Number of writhing was counted for
Aspirin and other NSAIDs reduce the incidence of and mortality from colon cancer, but their mechanism of action remains unknown. We evaluated the effect of aspirin (ASA) and three other structurally unrelated NSAIDs (indomethacin, naproxen, and piroxicam) on cell proliferation, cell cycle phase
Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum cum Alumine (PRPCA) is an important traditional processed herbal medicine mainly used for treating phlegm in China for more than 2000 years. In our previous studies, extraction optimization, characterization, and bioactivities of total polysaccharides from PRPCA
trans-Aconitic acid (TAA) is the main constituent of the leaves from the medicinal plant Echinodorus grandiflorus, used to treat different inflammatory diseases. TAA induces a potent but short-lasting biological response, credited to its high polarity and unfavorable pharmacokinetics. Here we
OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy and safety of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the treatment of cancer pain by meta-analyses of the published randomized control trials (RCTs).
METHODS
Twenty-five studies met inclusion criteria for analysis. Of these, 13 tested a single-dose effect,
Biomaterial implantation triggers an immune response initially predominated by neutrophils, which activate an inflammatory cascade by producing cytokines, enzymes, immune cell recruitment chemokines, and DNA fiber networks called neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). While the role of neutrophils
Prior studies have shown that implant surface roughness affects osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, matrix synthesis, and local factor production. Further, cell response is modulated by systemic factors, such as 1,25(OH)2D3 and estrogen as well as mechanical forces. Based on the fact that
