This study evaluated the phagocytic activities of neutrophilic leukocytes in both sexes during reproductive age and in women in different phases of the menstrual cycle and in pregnancy. In this study, 9 male and 12 female medical students, 17 to 20 years of age, 23 pregnant women and 9 women after delivery were evaluated. Heparinized blood was incubated with heat killed bacteria Staphylococcus ...

The present study was undertaken to isolate oil from Mangifera indica bark, Identification of various phytoconstituents and screening of immunostimulant activity in experimental animals. Methods: Immunostimulant activity was evaluated in rats as well as in mice by determining neutrophil adhesion to nylon threads and phagocytic index. Levamisole at a dose of 50 mg/kg, b.w was used as standard dr...

The aim of the present study was to assess phagocytic activities of murine macrophages (RAW264.7 cell line) to hydroxyapatite (HA) particles. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to assess localization of HA particles in the cells at 7, 15, 30 and 60 min. The HA particles and latex beads, as a control, were also incubated with the cells pretreated with various concentration of cytoch...

The current study was carried out to assess the immunomodulatory activity of Ethanolic extract Crataeva nurvula bark (EECNB) using in vitro methods. In immune modulatory investigated by cellular lysosomal enzyme assay and phagocytosis evaluation. release found be significant (p<0.05) at 200 μg/ml (Stimulation Index = 1.982) 100 (S.I= 1.564) EECN with respect control PHA =1.00) maximum phagoc...

This study aimed to evaluate phagocytic and bactericidal activity of macrophages originated from murine J774 macrophage cell line against 26 strains of Aeromonas caviae, Aeromonas veronii biotype sobria and Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from human fecal specimens. The analysis of phagocytic index (PI) indicated these strains were phagocytosed in low numbers, below 1.1 x l0(-3) for 65% strains o...

in chronic myelogenous leukemia (cml), the mature granulocytes originate from a stem cell line harboring an abnormal chromosome, therefore it is possible that metabolic-functional abnormalities occur in the morphologically mature cells. in the present study, the phagocytic activity including intracellular killing, nitro blue tetrazolium (nbt) reduction, and phagocytosis were studied in 37 cml p...

BACKGROUND: Tumor microenvironment modulates (including with the help of metabolites) functional activity neutrophils that contribute to reprogramming antitumor into a protumor one.
 AIMS: To study phagocytic and chemiluminescent in patients bladder cancer (BC) under influence metabolites tumor vitro.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: We examined 37 superficial BC (T1,а,isN0M0) considered 32 he...

Antimalarial drug resistant malaria parasites are causing not only the spread of malaria to new areas but also its re-emergence in areas where it had previously been eradicated. In addition, malaria-associated impairment of phagocytosis has been reported during malaria parasite infection. The present study has been carried out to investigate the effect of Nelumbo nucifera stamen extract on phag...

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent marker of mortality in hypertension. Although the mechanisms contributing to LVH are complex, inflammation and oxidative stress may favor its development. We analyzed the association of the phagocytic NADPH oxidase-mediated superoxide anion release and LVH in patients with essential hypertension and the role of cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) and inte...

. The paper assesses the treatment of cutaneous fungal infection in young beef cattle caused by Trichophyton verrucosum using orally administered zinc sulphate for 28 d at 2 g per animal per day and subcutaneous application of 2.5 mg/kg levamisole administered three times every 7 d. The study was conducted on animals at the age of 110 to 122 d, which were divided into two experimental groups: g...
