The poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase inhibitor PJ34 reduces pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury after lung transplantation causes alveolar damage, lung edema, and acute rejection. Poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a single-stranded DNA repair enzyme that induces apoptosis and necrosis after DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen

Role of human placental extract on succinic dehydrogenase activity in carrageenin-induced edema in rats in vivo and its effect on erythrocyte lysis, platelet aggregation and trypsin activity in vitro.

Only registered users can translate articles

Significant increase of liver succinic dehydrogenase (SDH, EC 1.3.99.1) activity was produced by carrageenin-induced edema in rats. Pretreatment with human placental extract inhibited the increased liver SDH activity in a dose-dependent manner. Placental extract was found to have little or no effect

Phosphatic metabolism and corneal edema.

Only registered users can translate articles

From three groups of patients with corneal edema, the degree of edema was clinically quantified prior to penetrating keratoplasty. Corneas from patients with failed grafts (n = 16) had the greatest edema (mean score 3.8 +/- 0.6 SE), corneas with Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy (n = 12) had the least

Inhibition of poly (adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase attenuates lung-kidney crosstalk induced by intratracheal lipopolysaccharide instillation in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe form of lung injury that frequently occurs during pneumonia and sepsis. Lung inflammation in ARDS patients may have deleterious effects on remote organs such as the kidney. The nuclear enzyme poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose)

Inhibition of poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase attenuates ventilator-induced lung injury.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Mechanical ventilation can induce organ injury associated with overwhelming inflammatory responses. Excessive activation of poly(adenosine diphosphate-ribose) polymerase enzyme after massive DNA damage may aggravate inflammatory responses. Therefore, the authors hypothesized that the

Mononuclear leukocyte ADP-ribosylation as an indicator of immune function in malignant-glioma patients treated with betamethasone for cerebral edema.

Only registered users can translate articles

Glioma patients receiving corticosteroids (16 mg/day betamethasone) were examined for evidence of immune cell dysfunction by using quantitative estimates of adenosine diphosphate (ADP)-ribosylation in peripheral mononuclear leukocytes as the physiological indicator. The duration of daily treatment

Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.

Only registered users can translate articles

Humans encounter hypoxia throughout their lives. This occurs by destiny in utero, through disease, and by desire, in our quest for altitude. Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) is a widely conserved, homeostatic, vasomotor response of resistance pulmonary arteries to alveolar hypoxia. HPV

Preliminary pharmacological study of the pterocarpans macckian and trifolirhizin isolated from the roots of Ononis vaginalis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Preliminary pharmacological study was conducted for the pterocarpans macckian (Mac) and trifolirhizin (Trif). The two compounds isolated from Ononis vaginalis were tested for their hepatoprotective effects against CCl4 induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Activity was accessed by measuring liver enzymes

Glycyrrhizin reduces secondary inflammatory process after spinal cord compression injury in mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Glycyrrhizin, a major active constituent of liquorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), has a free radical scavenging property, and its effects were evaluated on an animal model of spinal cord injury (SCI) induced by the application of vascular clips (force of 24 g) to the dura via a four-level T5-T8

Apyrase treatment prevents ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat lung isografts.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Endothelial cells express the ectoenzyme ectonucleoside adenosine triphosphate diphosphohydrolase, an apyrase that inhibits vascular inflammation by catalyzing the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate and adenosine diphosphate. However, ectonucleoside adenosine triphosphate

Purinergic signaling modulates the cerebral inflammatory response in experimentally infected fish with Streptococcus agalactiae: an attempt to improve the immune response.

Only registered users can translate articles

Appropriate control of the immune response is a critical determinant of fish health, and the purinergic cascade has an important role in the immune and inflammatory responses. This cascade regulates the levels of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate, adenosine monophosphate and

Synthesis, platelet anti-aggregating activity and anti-inflammatory activity of a series of beta-aminoxypropionic acids.

Only registered users can translate articles

This paper reports the platelet anti-aggregating activity induced by arachidonic acid (AA) and by adenosine-diphosphate (ADP), together with the anti-inflammatory activity evaluated by the carrageenan-induced rat paw edema method, of a series of beta-aminoxypropionic acids which were projected and

Anti-inflammatory effect of human placental extract: a biochemical mechanistic approach.

Only registered users can translate articles

Significant increase of liver succinic dehydrogenase (SHD) activity was produced by carrageenin-induced edema in rats. Pretreatment with human placental extract "Placentrex" inhibited the increased liver SHD activity in a dose-dependent manner. "Placentrex" was found to have no effect on the liver

Protective effects of cilostazol against transient focal cerebral ischemia and chronic cerebral hypoperfusion injury.

Only registered users can translate articles

Cilostazol increases intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP) levels by inhibiting type III phosphodiesterase. It was approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of intermittent claudication. Its principal actions include inhibition of platelet aggregation,

Comparison of University of Wisconsin and University of Pittsburgh solutions for heart transplantation.

Only registered users can translate articles

The effectiveness of University of Wisconsin (UW) and University of Pittsburgh (UP) solutions for the preservation of rat hearts was compared. Lewis rat hearts were preserved with UW (group A, n = 45) or UP (group B, n = 45) solution for 0 or 24 h and then transplanted heterotopically into the
