An association between tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) and Entamoeba histolytica diarrhea was assessed in a cohort of 138 non-related Bangladeshi children who have been prospectively followed since 2001. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained at study entry were purified,
BACKGROUND
Human defensin (HD) 5 and HD6, both Paneth cell alpha-defensins, contribute to the antimicrobial barrier against intestinal infection. We have previously demonstrated that levels of both HD5 and HD6 mRNA were reduced in adults living in urban Zambia, compared with those in adults living
BACKGROUND
The aim of this study was to compare the concentration and immunoelectrophoretic characterization of alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) excreted in random fecal samples in children with acute and chronic diarrhea and in control groups.
METHODS
Thirty-two children with diarrhea and 23 healthy
Xanthohumol (XN) is a natural compound with multifunctional potentials, including antiviral activity. In this study, the antiviral activity of addition of XN to interferon (IFN)-alpha was examined and compared with each compound alone using bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV), a surrogate model of
To get basic information to control persistent virus infection among domestic animals by cytokines, the antiviral activity of four natural human cytokines against bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) was evaluated. Normal bovine peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (PBML) and fetal bovine muscular
We constructed a recombinant strain BL21 (DE3) (pETST3LTBalphabeta) including ST1-LT(B)-alpha-beta fusion gene via molecular technology. The SDS-PAGE and Western blotting indicated that the ST1-LT(B)-alpha-beta fusion protein was highly expressed in Escherichia coli and the molecular weight of the
BACKGROUND
Bile acid malabsorption (BAM) is a recognized cause of watery diarrhea, often diagnosed empirically based on clinical response to cholestyramine. The radionuclide selenium-labelled homocholic acid-taurine whole body retention test is expensive, labour intensive and of limited
Both interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) and alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) have shown modest activity as single-agent therapy in the treatment of malignant melanoma. Several investigators have demonstrated true synergism in vitro of the combination of DFMO and IFN-alpha against human tumor cells,
Concentrations of alpha-1-antitrypsin (AT) in random fecal samples from 68 infants (92.7% outpatients) with acute diarrhea and 32 healthy controls were determined. The mean +/- s.d. for AT in infants with diarrhea was 2.07 +/- 1.88 mg/g dry stool (mg/g d.s.) compared with 1.29 +/- 0.72 mg/g d.s. (p
