Blue light induced retinal damage
(2004-09-17)
of the nucleus, condensation of the cytoplasm, and formation of apoptotic bodies along with rapid removal of dying cells from damaged areas in the absence of inflammatory response. A wave of massive TUNEL labeling of photoreceptor nuclei peaking at 8-16 hours...
Modulation of the deubiquitnating system during lymphoid cell activation and viral infection
(2005-08-15)
The family of ubiquitin-specific proteases (USPs) removes ubiquitin from its conjugates and regulates the production and recycling of ubiquitin. USPs are thereby critically involved in the control of important functions ...
Bacterial virulence and adaptation mediated by two-component system signalling
(2006-05-25)
One of the most fundamental ways of signal perception and propagation is mediated by the bacterial two-component system (TCS). These types of systems mediate bacterial adaptation that may cause disease in a host due to ...
Infant feeding and allergy in children
(2005-11-04)
and 4 years to collect information on exposures and health outcomes. The response rate at 4 years was 91%. Among these children a clinical investigation was performed in 73%, which included peak flow measurement and blood sampling for analysis...
Tobacco smoking and periodontal health in a Saudi Arabian population
(2005-09-23)
disease was 5.1-fold and 3.8-fold increased in water pipe and cigarette smokers, respectively, compared to non-smokers (p < 0.01). The relative risk associated with heavy smoking was about 8-fold elevated in water pipe smokers and 5-fold elevated...
AIDS and endemic Kaposi's sarcoma development : comparison by histopathology, virology (HHV8/KSHV) and cytogenetics
(2005-08-30)
Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is a highly and abnormally vascularized tumor-like
lesion with spindle cells (SC) affecting the skin, lymphnodes and viscera
which is found in four different clinico-epidemiological forms as Classic
KS ...
Anxiety, exhaustion and depression in relation to periodontal diseases
(2006-03-10)
level in GCF was increased, whereas the patients in Study IV surprisingly showed lower cortisol values in GCF than the controls. The level of cortisol in saliva was similar in both groups. Neither did the levels of matrix metalloproteinases-8, -9 (MMP-8...
Platelets and eosinophils in lung tissue remodelling
(2006-08-25)
Tissue injury and inflammation followed by effective repair restores normal function, but defective repair with associated tissue remodelling and fibrosis can lead to loss of organ function. Thus, interactions between ...
Long-term neurodevelopmental outcome after moderate neonatal encephalopathy and after post-term birth : two population-based studies
(2006-03-17)
to children with moderate NE than in the general population (19% vs 8%). Ominous FHR patterns were common in these cases. Fifteen of the 56 children had CP or other major neuroimpairments. Of the 41 without CP, 13 did not participate. Of the 28 children...
Regulation of gene transcription by the thyroid hormone receptors
(2006-05-26)
Thyroid hormone (TH) has important effects on postnatal development as well as on adult metabolic homeostasis. TH meditates its effects through different isoforms of the thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) encoded by the TRalpha ...
