Previously we have shown that, unlike wild-type mice (WT), heme oxygenase-1 knockout (HO-1-/-) mice developed nitrate tolerance and were not protected from inflammation caused by ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) when preconditioned with a H2S donor. We hypothesized that stimulation (with BAY 41-2272) or
OBJECTIVE
After the withdrawal of some cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) selective inhibitors, traditional nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) use has increased, but without additional prevention strategies against upper gastrointestinal (GI) complications in many cases. Here, we report the effect of
The inflammatory reaction was studied through changes in the weights and the constituents of granulomas induced by turpentine. The investigation used young rats fed ad lib for two months with diets containing 0.1% NO2-, 0.5% NO2-, 0.5% NO3- (w/w dry food). The NO2- and NO3- were incorporated into
OBJECTIVE
Several systemic effects have been described after talc pleurodesis. The aim of this study was to assess the systemic response induced by low, nonpleurodesis-inducing doses of talc and silver nitrate in an experimental model in rabbits.
METHODS
Groups of six rabbits were injected
OBJECTIVE
The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is typified by the presence of fever, hemodynamic changes, and end organ dysfunction. Endothelial cell activation leads to overproduction of nitric oxide, which results in sustained vasodilation and hypotension. This study was undertaken
BACKGROUND
Production of endothelial nitric oxide declines with advancing age. On the other hand, ageing itself is associated with a mild degree of chronic inflammation. Besides, asymptomatic infectious and non-infectious inflammation is frequent in old age. All this may lead to an increased
BACKGROUND
In subjects on a low nitrate diet, plasma nitrate concentration and urinary nitrate excretion are thought to reflect endogenous nitric oxide (NO) production, and have been reported to increase during infective and inflammatory bowel disease.
OBJECTIVE
To compare the extent of NO
A pathogenic role of nitric oxide has been suggested in acute and chronic intestinal inflammation. We took the opportunity offered by studies in patients with excluded colon, which represents a model of chronic intestinal inflammation with no exogenous nitrite or nitrate supply, to evaluate the
Undetected tinea pedis in a patient with diabetes can lead to serious bacterial infections with potentially serious consequences, such as foot amputations. Here we report on a 60-year-old patient with diabetes presenting with pain, severe pruritus, and malodour in the foot's interdigital area, and
Urinary nitrate is known to be a measure of environmental exposure. Only recently an endogenous metabolic pathway resulting in nitrate synthesis was described. We have determined the concentration of nitrate expressed as nitrate/creatinine ratio in the urine of patients in whom a significant
The effect of "therapeutic" ultrasound upon plasma extravasation during the inflammatory process induced in the rat hindpaw ankle by intra-articular injection of silver nitrate was investigated in two series of experiments. Both series utilised three ultrasonic frequencies, 0.75, 1.5, and 3.0 MHz,
Inflammatory cytokines stimulate glial cells in vitro to produce nitric oxide (NO) from inducible NO synthase (iNOS). Whether the stimulation with cytokines produces NO derived from iNOS has not hitherto been demonstrated in the vivo brain. Nitrite and nitrate (NOx(-)) levels in the rat
Excessive nitric oxide (NO) production has been implicated to be responsible for the development of septic shock. To determine whether plasma nitrite/nitrate (NOx) levels are related to the severity of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and the degree of multiple organ dysfunction, we
OBJECTIVE
Plutonium-nitrate has a moderately rapid translocation rate from the lung to blood stream. Previous studies have shown an unexpected retention of soluble plutonium in the beagles and human case studied here. The inflammatory responses that may be associated with long-term exposure to
Plasma endotoxin levels, nitrate/nitrite (NOx), type II phospholipase A2 (PLA2), soluble adhesion molecules, and inflammatory cytokines were measured in 34 patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Significant correlations were found between NOx values, PLA2 values, soluble
