The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of low doses of lead (200 ppm of PbAc(2) for 4 weeks) on rat spleens using different routes of administration. The study has been carried out at different levels: a histological evaluation has been made, and alterations of cell proliferation, B and T
Persistent inflammatory conditions can have severe pathological consequences. Although the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is effective, it has side effects, particularly at the gastrointestinal level. There is then a high interest to identify natural anti-inflammatory compounds
An immunohistochemical study of renal tubule cell differentiation in hydrops fetalis was performed using antibodies against lysozyme, CD15, keratin, epithelial membrane antigen and Leu-7, and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections of tissue that was obtained at autopsy. In 3 cases among 17 cases
A unique type of Ag-specific hypersensitivity was induced by challenging the Ag-sensitized mice at the ear. It was elicited within 1 h after the Ag challenge, and thus was distinct from either the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) which developed in 24 h or the immune complex-mediated
A pathobiological study was conducted using Vibrio parahaemolyticus (VP) strain isolated from vibriosis affected shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) farms in Kancheepuram and Thiruvallur districts of Tamil Nadu during August 2014 to February 2015. The isolate was identified based on the morphological,
Although prolonged Gram-negative sepsis with high permeability alveolar edema, a well documented cause of adult respiratory distress syndrome, has been shown to result in surfactant alterations, the effects of acute endotoxemia on the lung surfactant system are largely unknown. In this study, lethal
Exposure of meningococci to the bactericidal system of normal rat serum initiates a series of ultrastructural changes that accompany death of the organism. These morphological alterations consist of complement-dependent holes in the cell wall outer membrane, edema of the periplasmic space and
METHODS
As xanthoma disseminatum and histiocytosis X share clinicopathologic features, difficulties in diagnosis can arise. The use of immunocytochemical markers for S100 protein, factor XIIIa, lysozyme, alpha 1-antitrypsin, for adherence of peanut agglutinin and of antibodies LN3 (HLA-DR), Leu-M1
A girl, 5.7 years old, gained tolerance to egg white ingestion in spite of high immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibody titers to egg white but retained contact urticaria against egg white. She developed atopic dermatitis on her face at 2 months of age and showed high IgE antibody titers to egg white and
We have previously shown that hepatic cryoablation (cryo), but not partial hepatectomy, induces a systemic inflammatory response, with distant organ injury and overproduction of NF-kappaB-dependent cytokines. Serum tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and macrophage inflammatory protein-2 (MIP-2)
The aim of this supplement, registry study was to evaluate the effects of the use of standardized, oral supplement (Phyto-Relief CC, Alchem). Phyto-Relief CC includes anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti- edema natural compounds. Increased salivation produced by ginger is useful in the
Trigonella foenum-graecum (TFG) seeds exert a protective antioxidant effect and membrane protector through their rich content in polyphenolic flavonoids. The previous research focused on the hypoglycemic action of the seeds, with scarce studies on the preventive effects in the pathology of the
Intralymphatic histiocytosis is a rare reactive skin condition characterized by a nonspecific clinical presentation and, microscopically, by the collections of mononuclear histiocytes within the lumina of dilated lymphatic vessels. We report a rare case of intralymphatic histiocytosis associated
Moraxella catarrhalis is a normal resident of the human nasopharyngeal flora, but it is also isolated from middle ear fluid of acute otitis media and otitis media with effusion patients. To determine whether M. catarrhalis has direct pathogenicity in the middle ear, heat-killed M. catarrhalis was
The autoptical observations commonly ascribed to sepsis deal with unspecific general and local signs of inflammation or ischemia, such as myocardial inflammation, pulmonary edema and infiltration, cerebral swallowing, and tubular necrosis in the kidney. In the two last decades, some studies have
