This article discusses the complexities and various aspects related to treatment of pregnant women with COVID-19. The experience Chinese doctors who were first face this problem is considered, a new method treating disease using drug Baricitinib also considered. an anti-inflammatory drug, representative Janus kinase class, used in rheumatoid arthritis. It blocks intracellular signaling pathways...

STAT1 is an essential transcription factor for macrophage activation by IFN-gamma and requires phosphorylation of the C-terminal Ser727 for transcriptional activity. In macrophages, Ser727 phosphorylation in response to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS), UV irradiation, or TNF-alpha occurred through a signaling path sensitive to the p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) inhibitor SB2...

This dissertation addresses the role for Janus Kinase 3 (Jak3) in CD4+ T cell homeostasis and function. Jak3 is a protein tyrosine kinase whose activity is essential for signals mediated by the yc dependent cytokines IL-2, -4, -7,-9,-15, and -21. Previous data have demonstrated that peripheral CD4+ T cells from Jak3-deficient mice have a memory phenotype and are functionally impaired in both pr...

Allergic diseases, including asthma, represent a major threat to human health. Over the three last decades, their incidence has risen in western countries. Aspirin treatment has been shown to improve allergic diseases, especially asthma, and the decreased use of aspirin has been hypothesized to contribute to the increase in childhood asthma. Because salicylate compounds suppress a number of enz...

Interleukin (Ib12) has many effects on the function of natural killer and T cells, and is important in the control of cell-mediated immunity. IL-2 and IL-12 display many similar activities, yet each also induces a distinct set of responses. A human IL-12 receptor subunit has recently been cloned and, like the IL-2R,8 and IL-2R% is a member of the hematopoietic receptor superfamily; however, the...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is suggested to be a major cause of cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, the mechanism of ET-1-induced contraction in cerebral arteries remains unclear. This study was undertaken to demonstrate the possible role of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and protein kinase C (PKC) in ET-1-induced co...
