OBJECTIVE
The aim of this work was to investigate the level of the serum level of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) as an inflammatory biomarker in lean and obese women with polycystic ovary disease (PCOD), who are resistant to clomiphene citrate (CCR-PCOD).
METHODS
It is a case-controlled study,
OBJECTIVE
Laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) is still a controversial decision; due to the long term hazards; so short and long term predictors after the procedure should be taken in consideration. The aim of this work was to investigate the role of the serum level of tumor necrosis factor alpha
Celecoxib and citrate have been shown to possess antitumor activity in a variety of cancer cells. However, the antitumor activities of these agents in canine mammary tumors have not been well demonstrated. The aim of our study was to investigate the apoptotic and antiproliferative effects of citrate
Oral all-trans retinoic acid (atRA) has been shown to reduce the formation of neointimal hyperplasia; however, the dose required was 30 times the chemotherapeutic dose, which already has reported side effects. As neointimal formation is a localized process, new approaches to localized delivery are
This paper describes a 65-year-old Japanese man with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in whom the alpha-fetoprotein level decreased remarkably without any treatment. Plain computed tomography disclosed a low-density area in the left lateral segment. Liver scintigraphy revealed a filling defect with
Ultrasonic visualization of infiltration of the soft tissues increases precision of injection of drug solutions to the appointment place. It's proved that water for injection and 0,25% solution of novocainum can be used as antidote of hyperosmotic solutions and 5% solution of Natrii citrate is
Multiple cytokines stimulate hepatic lipogenesis in rodents. We have previously shown that lipogenic cytokines can be divided into 2 classes by their mechanism of action and their synergistic interactions. We now report the effects of interleukin 4, a cytokine known to inhibit the synthesis and
We have previously shown that bolus intravenous administration of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) to normal rats results in a rapid (within 90 min) stimulation of hepatic fatty acid synthesis, which is sustained for 17 hr. We now demonstrate that TNF stimulates fatty acid synthesis by several
OBJECTIVE
To study the effect of iron and proinflammatory cytokines on the expression of HAMP and other iron regulatory genes in primary rat hepatocytes.
METHODS
Primary hepatocytes from rats fed a control or iron-enriched diet were plated on extracellular matrix and incubated with inflammatory
The accumulation of 99Tcm-citrate in abscesses and arthritic joints has previously been demonstrated. In the present study its usefulness was evaluated in 10 mongrel cats with acute pancreatitis induced by metronidazole infusion. Five cats, used as normal controls, were given physiological saline.
A single intrapulmonary injection of 3.8% trisodium citrate and acid-citrate-dextrose (ACD) into rabbits results in extensive degeneration and necrosis of alveolar pneumocytes, including the type II pneumocyte, and of bronchiolar or bronchial epithelial cells. Subsequently, the alveoli and alveolar
Assays for tumor necrosis factor (TNF) may be inhibited by nonspecific factors present in body fluids. We found that the ability to quantitate TNF is greatly affected by blood processing methods. Mice were anesthetized by inhalation of methoxyflurane before obtaining blood by cardiac puncture. The
OBJECTIVE
Unfractionated heparin is frequently used as an anticoagulant during blood sampling and in cell culture experiments. In the present study we investigated whether heparin and other anticoagulants (citrate and EDTA) interfered with measurements of plasma tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF
