Changes in glycosphingolipid (GSL) composition during differ entiation of human leukemic granulocytes were investigated qualitatively and quantitatively in immature and mature granulocytic cells derived from human chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cases and were compared with those found in the in vitro granulocytic differentiation of the human promyelocytic leukemia HL-60 cell line. Two neutr...

Abstract Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by an aberrant immune response to infection and subsequent organ dysfunction. Further, due shared mechanisms such as severe inflammation endothelial dysfunction, sepsis remains the most common etiology in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) patients. Despite multiple efforts identify distinct signature support development of new ther...

An unripe apple (immature fruit of Malus pumila Mill) contains more polyphenols than mature fruit. To explore the anti-photoaging effects extract (UAE), we investigated UAE on wrinkle improvement, skin moisturizing, inflammation, and antioxidant activities using ultraviolet B (UVB)-irradiated SKH1-hr hairless mouse model. The mice were irradiated with UVB (0.18 J/cm2) three times per week orall...

A 2-year-old male Pekingese dog was referred to Shiraz University’s Veterinary Teaching Hospital for anorexia and depression. The case had no history of surgery. Physical examination revealed no abnormalities except mild depression and fever. Small, coccoid, epicellular bacteria were detected on erythrocytes by microscopic examination of the Giemsa-stained blood smears. Abnormalities noted in t...

Aim: Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a disease that affects children. One hundred fifty-five million children under five years are diagnosed with yearly, 20 hospitalized, and 2 die. Early diagnosis severity assessment reduce mortality morbidity. This study aimed to determine the effect of basic hemogram parameters, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), immature (IG) granulocyte, granulocyte ...

survivorship of the immature stage of anopheles culicifacies in damar district were studied through sampling larval and pupal stages from stream bed pools and rice fields during may and august 1993. the duration of each larval instar and the pupal stage was also determined in the laboratory for preparing the survivorship curves and the construction of the life tables. mortality from egg to adul...

BackgroundAppendicitis is the most common indication for an emergency operation in children's age. Although none of the laboratory values has not high sensitivity and specificity for the diagnosis of appendicitis, leukocyte count and the percentage of segmented neutrophils are most commonly used. The aim of this study was to determine whether there is a statistically significant correlation bet...

The surface expression and regulation of the adhesion promoting glycoproteins Mac-i and L-selectin was measured on monocytes and neutrophils from neonates and adults. A significant decrease in Mac-I up regulation on both monocytes and neutrophils was found in neonates after both high (10-7M) and low (10-9M) concentrations of the chemotactic factor N-formyl-methionyl-phenylalanine (FMLP). A sign...
