Allergen-induced airway reactions in the pig in vivo : inflammatory mediators as targets for asthma therapy
(2002-03-01)
A pig model for studies of allergen-induced airway reactions has previously been developed. These pigs are actively sensitized to Ascaris suum and challenged with this antigen in the airways under anesthesia. In the present ...
A functional genomics approach to study prostate disorders
(2003-09-12)
Benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PCa) are the two most common prostatic disorders in elderly man. Currently, the causes of both diseases are still not clear. However, androgen is a well recognized ...

: 13.7-218.4).
Up to 60 minutes after an episode of anger the risk increased nine-fold. For patients without premonitory symptoms the relative risk was 15.7 (95% CI: 7.6-32.4). Patients with usually infrequent outbursts of anger (once every second...

groups the proportion varied between 10.3 % and 10.6%. Instrumental deliveries were most common, 18.8%, in delivery units with 50-59% frequency of epidural block use. The lowest incidence (14.1%) was seen in units using epidurals in 30-39%. In the other...
The central role of the CD4 T-helper cell in HIV infection : analysis of cell mediated responses and CCR-5 genotypes in HIV-1 infected individuals

products to both CD8 and CD4 cells. In
HIV-infected patients, the DNA immunization induced both HIV-specific
cytotoxic and proliferative cellular responses. Increased levels of
cytotoxic memory cells were induced in all DNAimmunized patients. None...

).
Patients exposed to Thorotrast had a significant three-fold increase in overall mortality compared to the general population (standardized mortality ratio=SMR 2.8), with similar excesses for men and women. The largest risks were observed for deaths from...

Leukocyte-endothelial interactions in arteries in vivo : a new concept in the study of physiology and disease in large blood vessels
(2001-11-23)
Pathophysiological events in large blood vessels contribute to immense
morbidity and mortality in our society. A major clinical problem is a
disease known as atherosclerosis. It involves a slow inflammatory
deposition ...
Functional studies of the ubiquitin-proteasome system using GFP-based reporters
(2002-11-21)
Ubiquitin-dependent proteasomal degradation is of paramount importance for cellular processes such as cell cycle progression, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis and disposal of misfolded and aberrant proteins. Moreover ...
