To improve understanding of sensory processes related to visceral inflammation, the effect of turpentine-induced inflammation on reflex (cardiovascular/visceromotor) and extracellularly recorded lumbosacral dorsal horn neuron responses to colorectal distension (CRD) was investigated. A 25% solution of turpentine, applied to the colorectal mucosa, produced inflammation, decreased compliance of t...

BACKGROUND Myeloperoxidase (MPO) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) are often used as markers of inflammation. The aim of this study was to ascertain whether MPO activity is as reliable as IL-6 as an indicator of inflammation. METHODS Inflammation was induced in mice, using either turpentine or indomethacin. Duodenal tissue was removed from these animals at various time periods ranging from 6 h to 7 da...

Jute is one of the available and cheap cellulosic fibers that can be printed used instead other materials may relatively high in price. bio-degradable raw therefore does not cause harm to environment along with advantages because its many advantages, it called golden fiber. Textile printing practice applying color distinct patterns or designs sharp outlines. Inappropriately fibers, tied fiber, ...

and face cyanosed, pulse was imperceptible at wrist, eyes sunken, but her voice remained unaltered (though low). There were intense thirst and retching, and colicy pain in the pit of the stomach. She was passing watery motions. There were cramps on her abdomen and lower limbs. I applied hot bottles and hot stones wrapped np over her back and limbs. Turpentine, ginger powder and rum also rubbed ...

In veterinary medicine, hyperferritinemia is often observed in dogs with various diseases (e.g., histiocytic sarcoma and immune-mediated hemolytic anemia) without evidence of iron overload. The mechanism underlying hyperferritinemia development is not well understood. Anemia caused by inflammation is termed as anemia of chronic disease (ACD), and experimentally induced ACD is known to cause sli...

We have assessed whether a referred somatic hyperalgesia to thermal stimulation of the hind limb of rats occurs after inflammation of the urinary bladder. Furthermore, we evaluated whether any such viscero-somatic hyperalgesia (VSH) is dependent on the neurotrophin nerve growth factor (NGF). Limb withdrawal thresholds from thermal stimulation of both fore and hind limbs were assessed simultaneo...

Exotic forest pests cost China and the United States billions of dollars each year. Current regulatory systems worldwide are overwhelmed with the increasing volume of international trade. Trade in nursery stock, wood products, pallets and dunnage have proven the most common means of transport for exotic forest pests. Despite our best efforts, pests such as chestnut blight, gypsy moth, Dutch elm...
