BACKGROUND Nepenthes mirabilis (Lour.) Rafarin (Nepenthaceae) is a carnivorous plant used as a folk medicine in the treatment of jaundice, hepatitis, gastric ulcers, ureteral stones, diarrhea, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Neither the phytochemical content nor biological activities of N.

[Chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases].

In the last years the research on the etiopathogenesis of the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is focused around immunological aspects. Many authors consider that the intestinal inflammation is due to an inappropriate immunological response to normally present antigens in the gut. Two aspects must

The effect of anti-integrin monoclonal antibodies on antigen-induced pulmonary inflammation in allergic rabbits.

Only registered users can translate articles

The integrin adhesion molecules are involved in the recruitment and activation of inflammatory cells at sites of inflammation in a variety of diseases. In the present study, we have investigated the effects of blocking monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against CD49d (alpha(4) integrin), CD18

Exhaled nitric oxide in asthmatic and non-asthmatic children: influence of type of allergen sensitization and exposure to tobacco smoke.

Only registered users can translate articles

Asthmatic bronchial inflammation is associated with increased nitric oxide concentrations in exhaled air (eNO). Recent data suggest that this effect arises from atopy. Our aim in this study was to find out whether atopy and sensitization to particular allergens influences eNO levels. A total of 213

Analysis of heavy-chain antibody responses and resistance to Parelaphostrongylus tenuis in experimentally infected alpacas.

Only registered users can translate articles

The parasitic nematode Parelaphostrongylus tenuis is an important cause of neurologic disease of camelids in central and eastern North America. The aim of this study was to determine whether alpacas develop resistance to disease caused by P. tenuis in response to a previous infection or a

Host specificity of Trichostrongylus tenuis from red grouse and northern bobwhites in experimental infections of northern bobwhites.

Only registered users can translate articles

The red grouse (Lagopus lagopus scoticus) and northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) are parasitized by the cecal nematode, Trichostrongylus tenuis. Our objective was to determine if T. tenuis from red grouse is infective in bobwhites. We inoculated bobwhites with infective-stage T. tenuis larvae

Neurologic disease attributable to infection with Parelaphostrongylus tenuis in blackbuck antelope.

Only registered users can translate articles

Substantial mortality attributable to infection with Parelaphostrongylus tenuis was reported in 2 herds of blackbuck antelope (Antelope cervicapra) in southwestern Louisiana. Both herds had outbreaks in which all affected antelope had neurologic disease and subsequently died. Affected antelope were

Effect of the glucocorticosteroid budesonide and a novel phosphodiesterase type 4 inhibitor CDP840 on antigen-induced airway responses in neonatally immunised rabbits.

Only registered users can translate articles

1. The effects of the inhaled corticosteroid budesonide and a novel PDE 4 inhibitor CDP840 given systematically, were evaluated in a model of antigen-induced airway inflammation in the rabbit. 2. Adult litter-matched NZW rabbits (2.4-3.5 kg) immunised within 24 h of birth with Alternaria tenuis

Verminous encephalitis in a horse produced by nematodes in the family protostrongylidae.

Parasitic granulomatous eosinophilic inflammation was observed in the central nervous system (CNS) of a 6-month-old Arabian colt from New York state. Inflammation was associated with eggs, larvae, and adult nematodes in the cerebellum. Nematodes had histological characteristics of the superfamily

[Dirofilariasis, an unknown parasitosis. One case observed in Paris (author's transl)].

Only registered users can translate articles

In France, dirofilariasis D. tenuis are rare (less than ten cases were recorded). They manifest themselves by subcutaneous nodules. The fact that sometimes important inflammatory signs exist, could being one to diagnose an infectious etiology. Diagnosis may be made when the nodule is in the

Periorbital dirofilariasis.

A differential diagnosis of inflammatory periocular soft tissue masses includes sarcoidosis, ruptured dermoid cyst, infectious abscess, metastatic neoplastic disease, and idiopathic pseudotumor. The authors present the case of a 42-year-old woman with a periocular inflammatory mass caused by

Pentraxin 3 in children suffering from allergic rhinitis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Allergic disorders are typically characterized by an inflammatory response to allergen exposure. PTX3 behaves as an acute-phase response protein as there is a relationship between PTX3 plasma levels and disease severity. Therefore, this study was designed to investigate a possible role of PTX3 in

The effect of R 15.7/HO, an anti-CD18 antibody, on the late airway response and airway hyperresponsiveness in an allergic rabbit model.

Only registered users can translate articles

1. The effects of a mouse (IgG1 fraction) anti-CD 18 neutralizing antibody (R15.7) on allergen-induced late airway response (LAR), airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and cellular recruitment were investigated in an allergic rabbit model. 2. Litter-matched NZW rabbits immunized within 24 h of birth

The effects of heparin and related molecules on vascular permeability and neutrophil accumulation in rabbit skin.

Only registered users can translate articles

Unfractionated heparin (UH) has been shown to possess a wide range of properties which are potentially anti-inflammatory. Many of these studies, including effects of heparin on adhesion of inflammatory cells to endothelium, have been carried out in vitro. In the present study, we have used

Antiproliferation for Breast Cancer Cells by Ethyl Acetate Extract of Nepenthes thorellii x (ventricosa x maxima).

Only registered users can translate articles

Extracts from the Nepenthes plant have anti-microorganism and anti-inflammation effects. However, the anticancer effect of the Nepenthes plant is rarely reported, especially for breast cancer cells. Here, we evaluate the antitumor effects of the ethyl acetate extract of
