OBJECTIVE One of the major toxic side effects of methotrexate (MTX) is enterocolitis. To date, there is no efficient standard treatment for this side effect. Nitrosative stress is reported to play a critical role in MTX-induced mucositis. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether

The VP-2 gene of mink enteritis parvovirus (MEV) was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction using MEV DNA isolated from the faeces of a naturally infected mink. Subsequently the VP-2 gene was cloned into a baculovirus expression vector. Recombinant baculoviruses were isolated and the MEV VP-2

Mouse adenovirus type 1 (MAV-1) infection of B-cell-deficient and Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk)-deficient mice resulted in fatal disseminated disease resembling human adenovirus infections in immunocompromised patients. Mice lacking B cells or Btk were highly susceptible to acute MAV-1 infection,

Subclinical necrotic enteritis (SNE) is one of the serious threats to the poultry industry. Probiotics have been proven to exert beneficial effects in controlling SNE. However, their exact mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Moreover, few studies have focused on their impact on microRNAs

Kadsura coccinea (Lem.) A. C. Smith has been used as a tonic, decongestant, and digestive agent. The roots are also employed in traditional medicine to treat chronic enteritis, acute gastritis, duodenal ulcers, rheumatic pain in bone, and traumatic injuries. In the present study, we have described

C-terminal Src kinase (Csk) is one of the critical negative regulators of the Src family of kinases. The Src family of kinases are nonreceptor tyrosine kinases that regulate inflammation, cell proliferation, motility, and adhesion. To investigate potential histologic lesions associated with systemic

The following studies were designed to evaluate the efficacy of a potent and selective AVP V1 receptor antagonist ([1-beta-mercapto-beta, beta-cyçlopentamethyleneproprionic acid, 2-(O-methyl)tyrosine-8-arginine vasopressin]; AVPRA) in limiting the sequelae of endotoxemia. At 0.5 and 1.0 hr after

Bacteria of the genus Yersinia cause disease in humans ranging from enteritis and lymphadenitis to plaque. These organisms have the ability to bind to host cells and, in a complex interaction, are able to deliver a specific subset of proteins into the host cell. These proteins alter host structures

Background: Rituximab is a well-established component of treatment regimens for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Rituximab binds the CD20 antigen on the surface of B lymphocytes, causing an enhanced clearance of malignant and benign B cells.

Tyrosine kinase 2 (TYK2), a member of Janus kinase family, has been identified as a crucial protein in signal transduction initiated by interferons or interleukins in mammals. However, the function of avian TYK2 in innate immune response remains largely unknown. In this study, the full-length duck

BACKGROUND One of the major toxic side effects of methotrexate (MTX) is enterocolitis, for which there is no efficient standard treatment. Nitric oxide overproduction has been reported to play an important role in MTX-induced mucositis. This study was designed to investigate whether pretreatment

To evaluate non-chemical strategies to control pasture-borne parasites in first-season grazing (FSG) cattle, a 3-year grazing trial was conducted during 2002-2004 on naturally infected pastures on a commercial beef cattle farm in Sweden. A uniform pasture was divided in 4 equal 2 ha paddocks onto

Enteritis is one of the side effects of radiotherapy to the abdominal cavity. Radiation enteritis involves damage to mucous membranes in the acute phase and to stromal tissues in the late phase. Perforation of the intestine tends to occur in the late phase, and rarely in the acute phase. However, we

Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) mainly infects the intestinal epithelial cells of newborn piglets causing acute, severe atrophic enteritis. The underlying mechanisms of PEDV infection and the reasons why newborn piglets are more susceptible than older pigs remain incompletely understood. Iron

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is an intracellular pathogen and is the causative agent of Johne's disease of domestic and wild ruminants. Johne's disease is characterized by chronic granulomatous enteritis leading to substantial economic losses to the livestock sector across the
