Abstract Peripheral T lymphocytes undergo activation by antigenic stimulation and function in hypoxic areas of inflammation. We demonstrated CD3-positive human cells accumulating inflammatory tissue expression the hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), indicating a role hypoxia-mediated signals regulation cell function. Surprisingly, accumulation HIF-1α required not only hypoxia but also TCR/CD3-mediated activation. Moreover, repressed activation-induced death (AICD) TCR/CD3 stimulation,...
The long-term use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can induce fundic gland polyps (FPs) in the stomach, sometimes leading to numerous large FPs (LFPs). Although PPI discontinuation reduce LFP size and number, underlying process remains unstudied. A 63-year-old woman on esomeprazole (20 mg daily for 10 years) was scheduled endoscopic removal. After discontinuation, her LFPs regressed <10 mm within 35 days. 60-year-old male physician rabeprazole (10 12 had detected via...

Dasatinib, a second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is widely used in patients with haematological malignancies. The main side effects of dasatinib are myelosuppression and pleural effusion; however, colitis, such as haemorrhagic colitis cytomegalovirus (CMV) have been reported rare effects. There only few studies conducted on dasatinib-induced colitis.This study aimed to clarify the clinical, endoscopic pathological features retrospective included 51 consecutive who received therapy...
Coat color is one of the important factors characterizing breeds for domestic animals. Melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R) a representative responsible gene this phenotype. Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in bovine MC1R gene, c.296T > C and c.310G>-, have been well characterized, but these SNPs are not enough to explain cattle coat color. As far as we know, genotypes Kumamoto sub-breed Japanese Brown analyzed. In current study, genotyping c.310G>- was performed elucidate role...
