Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder. There are several treatment options, including symptomatic treatment (acetylcholinesterase inhibitors), short-term immunosuppression (corticosteroids), long-term immunosuppression (azathioprine, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, rituximab, tacrolimus), rapid acting short-term immunomodulation (intraven...

background immune cells and molecules play a vital role in initiating, maintaining, and regulating immunological homeostasis and inflammation in many pathological and physiological processes; however, the changes on expressions and functions of these cells and molecules in hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection has not been elucidated well. conclusions cxcr3-associated chemokines might contribute to...

EMJ EUROPEAN MEDICAL JOURNAL RESPIRATORY SUPPLEMENT • June 2016 EMJ EUROPEAN MEDICAL JOURNAL 2 3 IMMUNOMODULATION FOR RECURRENT RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTIONS: NEW INSIGHTS AND PERSPECTIVES A narrative summary of presentations from the ‘Immunomodulation: New Insights and Perspectives’ symposium held at the 1st World Association for Infectious Disease and Immunological Disorders (WAidid), Milan, I...

In recent years, breast cancer has been the leading cause of death among women. Researchers are studies related to help with progress our understanding and exploring more efficient less toxic therapies. Increased public awareness advances in preclinical proof feasibility clinical confirmation have led earlier diagnosis novel curative Immunomodulation is an emerging treatment, which enhance immu...

Trichosanthin (TCS) whose molecular weight is 26000.0 (hereafter called injectable TCS) is a type I ribosome-inactivating protein possessing various pharmacological properties including anticancer effect, inducing mid-term abortion, immunomodulation and anti-HIV activities. Especially, its anticancer effect is more important. In clinic, injectable TCS has been used to treat chorioblastoma as an...

Immunomodulation by nanoparticles, especially as related to the biochemical properties of these unique materials, has scarcely been explored. In an in vitro model of human immunity, we demonstrate two catalytic nanoparticles, TiO₂ (oxidant) and CeO₂ (antioxidant), have nearly opposite effects on human dendritic cells and T helper (T(H)) cells. For example, whereas TiO₂ nanoparticles potentiated...

propoxure (ppx) is a well-known carbamate insecticide, which has been used for several decades in the world and iran in agriculture and public health programs. however, there is no clear investigation toward its immunotoxicity as yet. in this study, we examined the effects of subchronic i.p. exposure of ppx on humoral (pfc & ha) and cellular (dth) responses, and also monitored t-cell subtypes u...
