Abstract The purpose of this case‐control study is to estimate the risks Stevens‐Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis associated with use specific drugs. suspected cases were identified from computerized hospital discharge file. We calculated crude relative and adjusted them for confounding by multivariate analysis. analysis was based on 35 105 controls. This showed that carbamazepine, phenytoin allopurinol most in oriental population. (Intern Med J 2005; 35: 188–190)
Regulatory T cells (Treg) have been shown to prevent the development of allergic asthma; however, role Treg in asthma with established airway remodeling is unknown. To address this, we exploited an OVA-induced chronic mouse model wherein were adoptively transferred mice at stage model. We found that among structural alterations remodeling, selectively reduced vessel numbers both peritracheal and peribronchial regions lung parenchyma. Extracellular matrix deposition, mucus metaplasia,...
