OBJECTIVE
The objective of this work is to assess the anti-inflammatory capacity of He-Ne laser therapy as determined by the plasmatic levels of inflammatory markers, fibrinogen, and TNFalpha and by histopathological study in rats with arthropathy induced by calcium pyrophosphate
BACKGROUND
Acute renal failure is a frequent complication of sepsis. Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) is widely used in the treatment of such patients. However, the effect of HES on renal function during sepsis remains controversial. We established an in vitro model of tumor necrosis factor-alpha
BACKGROUND
Hydroxyethyl starch (HES) solutions are widely used for volume replacement therapy but are also known to compromise coagulation, impair renal function and increase long-term mortality. To test the hypotheses that HES 130/0.4 has fewer adverse effects than HES 200/0.5 and exerts
Volume therapy is a standard procedure in daily perioperative care, and there is an ongoing discussion about the benefits of colloid resuscitation with hydroxyethylstarch (HES). In sepsis HES should be avoided due to a higher risk for acute kidney injury (AKI). Results of the usage of HES in
A- B-scan sonography was performed in a consecutive series of 123 patients with acute orbital complications of inflammatory paranasal sinus diseases. Orbital edema was correctly diagnosed by echography in 100% orbital periostitis in 81%, subperiosteal abscesses in 100%, and orbital cellulitis in
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in mouse with (1)H and hyperpolarized (HP) (3)He MR imaging.
METHODS
Axial slices of the lung volume were acquired with HP (3)He and (1)H MRI at 4, 24, and 48 h after LPS exposure. A quantitative
We have shown that autoallergic sialadenitis develops in C3H/He (H-2k) mice thymectomized 3 days after birth and then immunized at 4 or 6 weeks of age with a homogenate of the submandibular salivary gland emulsified in Freund's complete adjuvant. Significant inflammatory changes did not develop in
The aim of this study was to compare susceptibility of mice of different strains to the toxicity and carcinogenicity of nickel subsulfide (Ni3S2), a water insoluble compound suspected to damage cells through oxidative mechanisms. Groups of 30 male mice of each strain, C57BL/6 (C57BL), (C57BL x
OBJECTIVE
To study the changes of Hes-1, the target gene of Notch signaling pathway, and its relationship with airway inflammation and remodeling in a rat model of asthma.
METHODS
Forty-eight rats were randomly divided into an asthma group and a control group. The rats in the asthma group were
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of the low level laser therapy (LLLT) with a He-Ne laser on acute inflammatory pain, verifying the contribution of the peripheral opioid receptors and the action of LLLT on the hyperalgesia produced by the release of hyperalgesic
A study on the effects of He-Ne laser irradiation on glomeruli and renal tubules of the chick embryo mesonephros at 7 days of in ovo development was made. To this purpose, He-Ne laser irradiation (potency: 5 mW, wavelength: 632.8 nm) was beamed for 5 minutes through a window opened in the egg shell,
BACKGROUND
Inflammation impairs erythropoiesis, iron availability and is associated with a higher mortality risk in patients with end-stage renal disease. We studied the associations between Delta-He [the difference between the reticulocyte haemoglobin content (Ret-He) and erythrocyte haemoglobin
BACKGROUND
The present study was aimed to prove the usefulness of a new diagnostic plot (Hema-Plot), illustrating the relationship between the hemoglobin content of reticulocytes (Ret-He) as a marker of functional iron deficiency and the difference between the reticulocyte and erythrocyte hemoglobin
