objective: a secondary ectopic pregnancy is defined as continuing development of a fetus in the abdominal cavity after rupture of the uterine wall, which may be associated with a history of trauma. methods: a cat was referred to the veterinary teaching hospital of the university of tehran with history of anorexia and vaginal bleeding. in clinical examination some masses werepalpated in abdomina...

We investigated the effect the loss of the CAT-2 gene (CAT-2-/-) has on lung resistance (R(L)) and tracheal isometric tension. The R(L) of CAT-2-/- mice at a maximal dose of acetylcholine (ACh) was decreased by 33.66% (P = 0.05, n = 8) compared with that of C57BL/6 (B6) mice. The isometric tension of tracheal rings from CAT-2-/- mice showed a significant decrease in carbachol (CCh)-induced forc...

Monoclonal antibody Cat-315 recognizes a chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (CSPG) expressed on the surface of subsets of neurons in many areas of the mammalian CNS (). The cell type-specific expression exhibited by the Cat-315 CSPG and other perineuronal net CSPGs imparts a distinct molecular surface identity to a neuron (Celio and Blumcke, 1994; Lander et al., 1997). The cell type(s) producing ...

Sensitivity to cats and exposure to cat allergen is a common cause of asthma exacerbation in children. To date, there is no data on the prevalence of cat sensitivity in children living in North Italy. Therefore, a 7-yr survey was performed in patients attending an allergy clinic for the first time. Skin prick tests (SPT) for perennial allergens and for pollens relevant to the region were perfor...

BACKGROUND Clothing has been proposed as an additional source of exposure to mite and cat allergens. Dispersal of allergen into public places has also been attributed to clothing. OBJECTIVES We sought to study the contribution of various types of clothing on mite and cat exposure in a domestic environment. Also, we studied the ability of clothing to transfer allergen in a workplace. METHODS...

supplementation has beneficial effects in immune system and can antioxidant enzymes activity increases during the exercise and protects the tissue against the oxidative stress. l-carnitine is a famous supplement and helps to protect against the oxidative stress during and after intense or prolonged exercise. the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of l-carnitine supplementation on t...

we give the concept of ‘braiding’ for 2-groupoids, and we show that this structure is equivalent tobraided regular, crossed modules.

The co-immobilization of Aspergillus niger glucose oxidase (GOD) with bovine liver catalase (CAT) onto florisil (magnesium silicate-based porous carrier) was investigated to improve the catalytic efficiency of GOD against H2O2 inactivation. The effect of the amount of bound CAT on the GOD activity was also studied for 12 different initial combinations of GOD and CAT, using simultaneous and sequ...

BACKGROUND In adults, there is limited information on tolerance to cat, which may be reflected by high IgG4 without IgE sensitization. Early exposure to cat may play a critical role. OBJECTIVE The aim was to assess among adults the association of Fel d 1 IgG4, Fel d 1 IgE, skin prick test (SPT) response to cat and pet-related symptoms in relation to exposure to cat considering the period of e...
