Fresh frozen plasma prime and the level of gammaglobulin after pediatric cardiopulmonary bypass.

Different organ perturbation and multiple complications might occur after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). A variety of solutions might be used for pump priming with different advantages and disadvantages. The advantage of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) inclusion ...

Association of toxic indoor air with multi-organ symptoms in pupils attending a moisture-damaged school in Finland.

Background: There is an on-going debate on how best to test toxic indoor air. Toxicological methods based on condensed water samples and cell culture technique are newly introduced research tools which were tested in this study. Methods: Pupils (n=47) ...

COVID 19 with neurological symptoms, rhabdomyolysis and brain death: a case report.

Background: In the worldwide, there are the pandemic of the virus coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and there is no approved treatment for this disease. Case presentation: This study reported a new case with COVID 19 with neurological symptoms such ...

Effects of allergic stimulation and glucocorticoids on miR-155 in CD4+ T-cells.

Rationale: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are emerging as important regulators of allergic inflammation and potential therapeutic targets. We sought to identify which miRNAs are expressed in CD4[+] T-cells and determine whether allergic stimuli or glucocorticoids ...

Antibacterial activity of betle leaf (Piper betle l.) extract on inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus in conjunctivitis patient.

The aim of this study is to determine the antibacterial activity of Piper betle L. leaf extract on inhibiting Staphylococcus aureus in conjunctivitis patient. This study follows a post-test only group experimental design. Antibacterial activities of five ...

Incidence of low back pain and sacroiliitis in military families with acne vulgaris under isotretinoin therapy.

Background: Acne vulgaris is a common complication that patients referred to dermatologist, also there are medications to manage of this such as isotretinoin, and incidence of low back pain in these patients is more than general population, so in this ...

Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy using mucosal flaps for bilateral overlapping.

Background: Recently, the use of posterior mucus flap has been introduced as a new technique for DCR, which has had a great success, as well as bone overlapping and minimal postoperative obstruction. Considering the need for these flaps to have a very ...

Clinical and radiologic manifestation B-cell mediated autoimmune diseases of central nervous system.

B-cell mediated autoimmune diseases of central nervous system (CNS) put a heavy burden on different aspects of society and economy. Taken together, there are different types of autoimmune diseases in which B-cells play an important role and affect CNS ...

Visual inspection results of ultrasound guided biopsy specimens and compared with open biopsy pathologic in patients with breast lesions.

Background: Core needle biopsy (CNB) method is a common method and a gold standard for the diagnosis of breast lesions. The purpose of this study was to compare the results of visual inspection of ultrasound guided biopsy specimens with pathologic outcomes ...

The correlation between cluster seizures and findings of magnetic resonance imaging in drug refractory epilepsy patients.

Background: Epilepsy is a chronic neurologic condition and affects peoples at all ages. Seizure clusters are generally referred to seizures that occur at close intervals with complete recovery between attacks. Various studies have reported a variety of ...

Bile duct injury outcomes following cholecystectomy: a cross sectional study.

Background: Considering the importance of the repairing time in patients with biliary duct injury, the aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patents with bile duct injury following cholecystectomy. Methods: In this cross sectional study that ...

Comprehensive clinical and immunological features of 62 adult patients with selective primary IgM deficiency.

Selective IgM Deficiency (SIgMD) is a recently incorporated disorder in the classification of primary immunodeficiency diseases. The purpose of this study was to present detailed clinical and immunological features in a cohort of 62 adult patients with ...

A protocol for humanized synovitis mice model.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a debilitating autoimmune disease that causes progressive chronic inflammation of the joints and destruction of articular cartilage and bone erosion. Cartilage destruction is a key characteristic in patients with RA. RA fibroblast-like ...

Inter-donor variation in cell subset specific immune signaling responses in healthy individuals.

Single cell network profiling (SCNP) is a multi-parameter flow cytometry based approach that allows for the simultaneous interrogation of intracellular signaling pathways in multiple cell subpopulations within heterogeneous tissues, without the need for ...

Potential roles of IL-9 in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus.

T helper (Th) cells and their cytokines play a pleiotropic role in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Recently, a new effector T cell subset, Th9 cells, which preferentially secrete IL-9, has been identified. IL-9 is mainly produced ...

Lipid-free apolipoprotein A-I exerts an antioxidative role against cell-free hemoglobin.

Cell-free hemoglobin (Hb) resulting from hemolysis is redox-active. It disrupts the oxidoreducing microenvironment, shifting the balance unfavorably towards tissue cytotoxicity. Thus, immediate suppression of the Hb-redox activity and removal of the cell-free ...

Gastrointestinal-associated autoantibodies in different autoimmune diseases.

Background: Gastrointestinal (GI)-related autoantibodies (Abs) are rarely evaluated in autoimmune diseases (AID) other than inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune hepatitis and celiac disease. Our aim was to determine the prevalence of these antibodies ...

Regulation and function of nuclear IκBα in inflammation and cancer.

The nuclear translocation and accumulation of IκBα represents an important mechanism regulating transcription of NFκB-dependent pro-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic genes. The nuclear accumulation of IκBα can be ...

The role of sphingosine 1-phosphate in immunity and sepsis.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a lipid metabolite with intra- and extracellular signalling properties. It activates five G protein-coupled cell surface receptors designated S1P-receptors type 1-5 (S1P[1-5] ) that transmit extracellular signals into ...

The role of ubiquitin ligases in the control of organ specific autoimmunity.

Diabetes mellitus is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia caused by a deficiency in insulin action, insulin secretion or both. Type 1 diabetes is classified as the destruction of beta cells leading to a deficiency in insulin production. Type1 diabetes ...
