In this research, acute toxicity (LC) of zinc oxide nanoparticle on Beluga (Huso huso) andcommon carp (Cyprinus carpio) was studied. The experiment was conducted using theOrganization for Economic Co-operation and Development (No. 202) method. For bothspecies, 96hLC10 was determined to be more than 200 mg/l. To assess the effects of zinc oxidenanoparticles on blood factors, leukocyte index coun...

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...

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...
