background helicobacter pylori is responsible for one of the most common human infections and is a major risk factor for stomach ulcer disease and gastric cancer. h. pylori infection has been reported to be associated with generation and development of coronary artery disease (cad). moreover, diabetic patients positive for h. pylori infection showed a higher prevalence of cad compared to h. pyl...

Although existing studies indicate a positive effect of interpersonal motor coordination (IMC) on likability, no consensus has been reached as for the effect of likability back onto IMC. The present study specifically investigated the causal effect of likability on IMC and explored, by tracking the natural gaze direction, the possible underlying mechanisms. Twenty-two participants were engaged ...

Objective(s): It is now supposed that cytokines released during the burn injuries have a great impact on the immunological and pathological responses after the burn. The main objective of this study was to investigate the expression of some pro-inflammatory genes in the wound, spleen and blood neutrophils during the healing process of burn wounds in a murine model. Materials and Methods: The ex...

statement of problem: patients affected with “early onset periodontitis” (eop), are not similar regarding their neutrophil deficiency and researches have yielded contradictory results in this field. purpose: the purpose of this study was to evaluate different aspects of neutrophils’ activities in peripheral blood of such patients, especially those affected with prepubertal periodontitis and juv...

allergic airway inflammation is characterized by elaboration of cytokines and chemokines leading to recruitment of inflammatory leukocytes, predominantly eosinophils, to the airways. granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (gm-csf) is generated in the lungs of human subjects with asthma in response to allergen challenge and is necessary for the development of allergen-induced bronchial...

conclusions the leptin can also be used for the treatment of severe and intractable l. monocytogenes and e. coli infection. results our data demonstrates that leptin is able to induce cd11b expression on neutrophils but this induction is significantly less than l. monocytogenes. indeed, cells treated with leptin had lower amounts of apoptosis compared with untreated cells. the highest amount of...

the purpose of this ex- vivo study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth, obturated with gutta-percha or resilon and reinforced by either composite resin or fiber post.eighty-four human maxillary incisors were divided into seven groups (n=12). teeth in all groups were prepared until peeso #5 (1.5mm) could be passed through the apex. root ends received 4mm of mta pl...
