Effects of triazolodiazepine on the production of interleukin-6 from murine spleen cells and rabbit synovial cells in vitro.

Mediators of inflammation

Ju DW, Zheng QY, Cao XT, Zheng QH, Guan XJ, Wang HB.
PMID: 18475629
Mediators Inflamm. 1995;4(2):130-2. doi: 10.1155/S0962935195000226.

Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a multifunctional cytokine that regulates the immune response, acute phase anaphylactic reaction, and haematopoiesis. Lipopolysaccharide (6-24 mug/ml) significantly induced IL-6 release from murine spleen cells. In cultured rabbit synovial cells interleukin-1 (IL-1, 1-10 U/ml) induced IL-6...

Factors produced by bovine conceptuses alter prostaglandin (PG) and protein secretion by endometrial explants from cyclic cows and induce an intracellular inhibitor of PG synthesis. Endometrial explants from cyclic (n = 4) and pregnant (n = 3) cows at...

The use of gene expression analysis and proteomic databases in the development of a screening system to determine the value of natural medicinal products.

A rapid throughput screening system involving gene expression analysis was developed in order to investigate the potential of bioactive chemicals contained in natural health products as effective drug therapy, in particular the ability of these chemicals to alleviate the...

Apolipoprotein M.

Lipids in health and disease

Luo G, Zhang X, Nilsson-Ehle P, Xu N.
PMID: 15461812
Lipids Health Dis. 2004 Oct 04;3:21. doi: 10.1186/1476-511X-3-21.

Apolipoprotein M (apoM) is a 26-kDa protein that is mainly associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in human plasma, with a small proportion present in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TGRLP) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Human apoM gene is located in p21.31 on...

Hypothesis: hemolytic transfusion reactions represent an alternative type of anaphylaxis.

International journal of clinical and experimental pathology

Hod EA, Sokol SA, Zimring JC, Spitalnik SL.
PMID: 18830382
Int J Clin Exp Pathol. 2009;2(1):71-82. Epub 2008 May 30.

Classical anaphylaxis is the most severe, and potentially fatal, type of allergic reaction, manifested by hypotension, bronchoconstriction, and vascular permeability. Similarly, a hemolytic transfusion reaction (HTR) is the most feared consequence of blood transfusion. Evidence for the existence of...

Drug therapy for ocular allergy.

Expert opinion on investigational drugs

Hingorani M.
PMID: 15991917
Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 1998 Jan;7(1):27-55. doi: 10.1517/13543784.7.1.27.

The spectrum of ocular allergy ranges from mild, non-sight threatening disease, such as hay fever, to disorders such as atopic keratoconjunctivitis (AKC) which cause permanent ocular surface changes and reduced vision. The ideal treatment is with topical preparations. Launched...

Interferon-gamma increases neuronal death in response to amyloid-beta1-42.

Journal of neuroinflammation

Bate C, Kempster S, Last V, Williams A.
PMID: 16569229
J Neuroinflammation. 2006 Mar 28;3:7. doi: 10.1186/1742-2094-3-7.

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive cognitive impairment, the consequence of neuronal dysfunction and ultimately the death of neurons. The amyloid hypothesis proposes that neuronal damage results from the accumulation of insoluble, hydrophobic, fibrillar...

Cardiovascular effects of platelet-activating factor.

Trends in cardiovascular medicine

Holland MR, McIntyre TM, Zimmerman GA, Prescott SM.
PMID: 21239326
Trends Cardiovasc Med. 1991 Apr;1(3):117-21. doi: 10.1016/1050-1738(91)90005-Y.

Platelet-activating factor (PAF) is a unique biologically active phospholipid that is synthesized by many cells and tissues and has actions far more diverse than just platelet activation. PAF is probably a mediator of the normal inflammatory and thrombotic responses....

Nongenomic actions of progesterone on human spermatozoa.

Trends in endocrinology and metabolism: TEM

Baldi E, Krausz C, Forti G.
PMID: 18406702
Trends Endocrinol Metab. 1995 Aug;6(6):198-205. doi: 10.1016/1043-2760(95)00083-t.

Progesterone's (P) stimulatory actions on human spermatozoa have been known for many years. P indeed appears to be the main sperm stimulator present in women's biological fluids, particularly the follicular fluid. The nongenomic nature of the biological effects of...

Nitric oxide decreases intestinal haemorrhagic lesions in rat anaphylaxis independently of mast cell activation.

Mediators of inflammation

Tavares JC, Moreno A, Crespo MS.
PMID: 18472830
Mediators Inflamm. 1997;6(1):25-31. doi: 10.1080/09629359791893.

The purpose of this study is to assess the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the intestinal lesions of passive anaphylaxis, since this experimental model resembles necrotizing enterocolitis. Sprague-Dawley rats were sensitized with IgE anti-dinitrophenol monoclonal antibody. Extravasation of...
