Glaesserella parasuis (G. parasuis) can cause peritonitis in piglets. However, the pathogenesis of remains unclear. Baicalin has been shown to possess anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant functions. The aim this study was investigate role PANX-1/P2X7 axis P2Y6 signaling pathway induced by G. effect baicain on activation triggered parasuis. A serovar 5 isolate SH0165 strain obtained from lungs com...

Background Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) is an inherited X-linked recessive condition resulting from mutations of the DMD gene encoding dystrophin. Left ventricular noncompaction (LVNC) a rare cardiomyopathy morphologically characterized by abnormal myocardial trabeculae and deep recesses in left ventricle. LVNC BMD patients has only rarely been reported. Case report In present study, we iden...

Previous independent investigations of the serotyping of Haemophilus parasuis strains have led to the designation of serovars A to D, 1 to 7, Jena 6 to Jena 12, and ND1 to ND5. Heat-stable antigen preparations from the reference strains for these serovars were tested by immunodiffusion with rabbit hyperimmune antisera. The existence of 15 distinct serologic groups was apparent, for which we pro...

To determine whether the virulence of Streptococcus suis type 2 is associated with the phenotype of the strain, we infected newborn germfree pigs with 10 strains of S. suis type 2 categorized by three phenotypes. In an earlier study, the phenotypes were distinguished by the presence or absence of the muramidase-released protein (MRP) and an extracellular factor (EF) and were designated MRP+ EF+...

Introduction. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an auto-inflammatory disease characterized by attacks of fever and polyserositis. FMF is often associated with other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), and Behcet. Uveitis is an inflammatory process caused by underlying infectious and inflammatory disorders. This study investigates the probable relati...

BACKGROUND Systemic lupus erythematodes (SLE) is chronic, often febrile, multisystemic disease unknown origin and relapsing course which affects connective tissue of the skin, joints, kidney and serous membranes. Gastrointestinal manifestations are rarely the first sign of systemic lupus erythematosus. CASE REPORT We presented a female patient, 35 years old, whose first symptoms of SLE were p...

The present study reports on layer chickens with colibacillosis in 2 commercial egg-producing farms (referred to as farm A and farm B, which were managed by the same owner and were about 1 km apart) in the middle region of the Korean peninsula. The 2 flocks were infected at the initiation of egg laying. They were characterized by no previous clinical signs but sudden mortality (2.7-4.0%), with ...

Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis (Salmonella Enteritidis) has been associated with morbidity and mortality in broiler chickens worldwide. The present study described purulent arthritis of broilers infected with Salmonella Enteritidis and investigated antibiograms and genetic characteristics of Salmonella Enteritidis isolates from epidemiologically related properties such as a hatchery an...

case presentation a ten-year-old iranian boy was referred to our department with history of recurrent abdominal pain followed by fever, chills, arthralgia and scrotal edema. he suffered from hematuria and gastrointestinal bleeding. his physical exam revealed fever (axillary temperature: 38.7°c), hypertension (150/90 mmhg), hepatomegaly (liver span: 13 cm), orchitis and subcutaneous painful nodu...
