Unmasking an inflammatory suppressor
Fatty foods plug up arteries in more ways than one, according to Mullick et al., on page 373. They also trigger the expression of an innate immune receptor that makes the arteries more fat friendly. Recent data suggest that the immune receptor in question, Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2, which recognizes bacterial lipids, might also enhance atherosclerosis—a disease that can lead to restricted bloo...
متن کاملUnmasking an Early Diagnosis
Design: Community neurologists referred patients with suspected PS for imaging evaluation. Clinical diagnoses (positive PS or negative PS) were provided by the community neurologists and 2 movement disorder experts. We performed (I) -CIT and SPECT imaging, and imaging diagnoses of positive PS or negative PS were assigned. A 6-month follow-up clinical diagnosis was assigned by a movement disorde...
متن کاملGenetic unmasking of epigenetically silenced tumor suppressor genes in colon cancer cells deficient in DNA methyltransferases.
Hypermethylation associated silencing of the CpG islands of tumor suppressor genes is a common hallmark of human cancer. Here we report a functional search for hypermethylated CpG islands using the colorectal cancer cell line HCT-116, in which two major DNA methyltransferases, DNMT1 and DNMT3b, have been genetically disrupted (DKO cells). Using two molecular screenings for differentially methyl...
متن کاملUnmasking hypertension.
Conventional blood pressure measurement using a mercury sphygmomanometer and stethoscope has clearly shown a strong relationship between blood pressure and cardiovascular risk,1 and the technique has also demonstrated the benefit of lowering high blood pressure with antihypertensive medication.2 However, despite these merits, conventional measurement has been criticized on many counts that have...
متن کاملAcute microbiologically negative hypoxic interstitial pneumonia on HAART: Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome unmasking Pneumocystis Jiroveci infection with an atypical presentation
Highly active antiretroviral therapy for AIDS sometimes engenders inflammatory manifestations resulting from an inappropriate and unbalanced immune-system restoration, called Immune Reconstitution inflammatory Syndrome, which, in turn, can unmask a subclinical infection/pathology. Despite our patient's evident syndrome, the atypical clinical, microbiologic and radiologic feature of Pneumocystis...
