One of the purposes of specific immunotherapy (SIT) is to modulate humoral immune response against allergens with significant increases in allergen-specific IgG levels, commonly associated with blocking activity. The present study investigated in vitro blocking activity of allergen-specific IgG antibodies on IgE reactivity to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Dpt) in sera from atopic patients. Dp...

Mitochondrial factor and cell cytokines play important roles in the incidence of vascular dementia (VD), but their correlations with inflammatory and mitochondrial factors and the role of both in the kidney essence deficiency pattern and phlegm turbidity blocking orifice pattern are not clear. This study was aimed at studying the correlations between the serum mitochondrial factor and cell cyto...

fast enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (fast-elisa) was compared with the standard elisa for the diagnosis of human hydatidosis. seventy serum samples including 30 from hydatidosis patients (surgically confirmed), healthy control individuals not infected with any parasitic diseases (n=/20) and from others with different parasitic infections including, toxocariosis (n=5), fasciolosis (n=5), tric...

Clinically, methane is an anti-inflammatory gas used to treat organ damage. There no extensive research on methane's repair of traumatic brain injury (TBI), so this study aims investigate the role and its potential mechanism. A rat TBI model was established by mechanical impact. SD rats were divided into four groups, including sham group, 2 or 20 mL/kg methane-rich saline (MS) group. Morris wat...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Epithelium derived interleukin (IL)-15 signalling via IL-15Ralpha is critical for the development, activation, and survival of intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL). We aimed to better understand the IL-15 driven effects on IEL underlying mucosal damage and lymphomagenesis in coeliac disease (CD). METHODS Enterocytes, IEL, and lamina propria mononuclear cells (LPMC) were isola...
