The present study was designed to assess the antiarthritic potential of ECF in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and explore its underlying mechanism. Methods. In vitro, lymphocyte proliferation assay was measured by CCK-8 kit. In vivo, the therapeutic potential of ECF on CIA was investigated; surface marker, Treg cell, and intracellular cytokines (IL-17A and IFN-γ) were detected by flow cytomet...

BACKGROUND Enterocutaneous fistulas (ECF) are debilitating and usually result following complex abdominal surgery. While there is an association with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a large number of fistulas occur after surgery not related to IBD. The consequences of ECF include short bowel syndrome and the need for long term parenteral nutrition.ECF can heal spontaneously and in the case of...

A peptide of approximately 300-400 daltons exhibiting in vitro chemotactic activity for human polymorphonuclear (PMN) leukocytes, with a preference for the eosinophil series, was isolated from extracts of anaplastic lung carcinomas of the large squamous cell type obtained from three patients with marked peripheral blood hypereosinophilia and eosinophilic infiltration of the tumors and surroundi...

BACKGROUND Nitric oxide (NO) is a compound with both protective and damaging effects on neurons. Quantification of NO metabolites in humans is limited by sample contamination with blood. In vivo cerebral microdialysis may offer an alternative approach as sampling of extracellular fluid (ECF) adjacent to neurons becomes possible. We investigate the prognostic value of brain ECF NO metabolites in...

An electro-conjugate fluid (ECF) is a kind of dielectric fluid that works as a functional/smart fluid generating a powerful jet flow (ECF jet) when subjected to a high d.c. voltage. The authors previously proposed the first liquid rate gyroscope in the world using ECF. The ECF liquid rate gyroscope proposed uses the drift of the ECF jet due to the Coriolis force when an angular motion is applie...

1. Renal sodium excretion is the primary determinant of sodium homeostasis. 2. Changes in sodium concentration in extracellular fluid (ECF) are associated with disorders of water balance. 3. Hypovolemia refers to losses of salt and water from the ECF, whereas dehydration is defined as primarily water loss from ECF. 4. Hypervolemia results when fluid accumulates in the ECF at a higher rate than ...

Energy-coupling factor (ECF) transporters are a recently discovered family of primary active transporters for micronutrients and vitamins, such as biotin, thiamine, and riboflavin. Found exclusively in archaea and bacteria, including the human pathogens Listeria, Streptococcus, and Staphylococcus, ECF transporters may be the only means of vitamin acquisition in these organisms. The subunit comp...

Enterocutaneous fistulas (ECF) are a difficult and costly surgical complication to manage. The standard treatment of nil per os (NPO) and total paraenteral nutrition (TPN) is not well tolerated by patients. TPN is also known for complications associated with long term central venous catheterization and for high cost of prolonged hospital stay. We present two low output ECF cases successfully tr...
