BACKGROUND An anaphylactoid purpura affects small capillaries in the skin and other organs. Although two cases of anaphylactoid purpura exacerbated by cellulitis have been reported in Japanese literatures, its prognosis remains still unclear. Because cellulitis exacerbates various cutaneous inflammations, it has been speculated that cellulitis might also exacerbate cutaneous inflammation, such ...

Unsaturated fatty acids present in the lipids of essential fatty acid (EFA)deficient rats were found to inhibit the oxygenase activity of sheep vesicular gland in an instantaneous, reversible manner. However, competitive inhibition by high levels of these acids cannot account fully for the reported loss of prostaglandin synthetic capacity of these EFA-deficient animals. A similar competitive in...

When the ovaries have been removed, or when their vitality has been impaired by disease, the uterus is found senescent and small. 4. Pelvic inflammations, by causing, as Freund first indicated, condensation of the cellular tissues in the broad ligament, may impair the circulation in the uterine vessels, or, by producing adhesions around the uterus, as described by Jaquet, may compress the organ...

This paper presents bone evidence for various pathological lesions occurring in domestic hen (Gallus domesticus L.), the first domesticated bird. They include healed fractures of a small grade exacerbated by dislocations, inflammations manifested in joints, osteopetrosis, cervical hernia and rickets. All but one of the illustrated specimens originate from archaeological assemblages found on the...

Lobenzarit disodtulIl (CCA) is a novel immunomodulatory drug useful in the treatment of chronic inflammations. Its principal mechanism of action seems to be through enhancing the T suppressor/T helper lymphocyte ratio. However, the molecular basis for these actions remains unclear. In this study it was found that CCA inhibits the production of guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate almost complet...

background: radiolabeled polyclonal human immunoglubins are useful in the detection of inflammations. in this work a novel approach has been presented to use thallium-201 as a comlexed nuclide for the development of radioimmunoconjugates. materials and methods: thallium-201 (t1/2=3.04 d) in tl+ form was converted to tl3+ cation in presence of o3 in 6m hcl, controlled by rtlc/gel electrophoresis...
