Mesangial cells are located within glomerular capillary loops and contribute to the physiological regulation of glomerular hemodynamics. The function of mesangial cells is controlled by a variety of ion channels in the plasma membrane, including nonselective cation channels, receptor-operated Ca2+ channels, and recently identified store-operated Ca2+ channels. Although the significance of these...

Glycolysis emerges as a new therapeutic target for malignancies. The inhibition of glycolytic activator, PFKFB3, repairs tumor endothelial cell function, and normalizing the microenvironment. We aimed to investigate significance PFKFB3 in HCC, effects inhibitor, PFK15, HCC cells cells. Double immunofluorescent staining CD31 tissues revealed that high expression both was significantly correlated...

The distribution of an epitope of the transferrin receptor in the human uterine cervical epithelium has been investigated. Immunohistochemical staining, both immunofluorescent and immunoperoxidase, was performed on biopsy specimens and cytological samples from normal, dysplastic, and neoplastic cervical epithelia using the monoclonal OKT9 antibody. The results of staining 145 cervical biopsy sp...

Mast cells (MCs) is an effector in inflammatory skin diseases by secreting potent mediators. It has been proved that MCs significantly increase and activate the lesions of psoriasis patients, which can be activated external factors a variety endogenous mediators to participate pathological changes formation microenvironment psoriasis. Current studies suggest axis activation releasing factors, s...

We describe a patient with type 3-C polyglandular autoimmune syndrome who presented with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage and normal renal function. The diagnosis of antibasement membrane antibody disease was established by immunofluorescent staining of transbronchial biopsy specimens. We suggest the incorporation of antibasement membrane antibody disease into the spectrum of diseases that define th...

In a prospective study of 660 HIV-positive Malawian adults, we diagnosed Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PcP) using clinical features, induced sputum for immunofluorescent staining, real-time PCR, and posttreatment follow-up. PcP incidence was highest in patients with the lowest CD4 counts, but PcP is uncommon compared with incidences of pulmonary tuberculosis and bacterial pneumonia.

During rinderpest virus infection in rabbits, 19S cold hemagglutinating antibody against rabbit erythrocytes and 7S anti-nuclear antibody, which reacts with the nuclei and/or the nuclear membranes in immunofluorescent staining, were demonstrated. Virus infection that affected the thymus-dependent immune functions was speculated to act as a trigger for the production of these two autoantibodies.
