We have previously shown that bioactive interleukin-6 (IL-6) is produced by rat and mouse (anterior) pituitary cells in vitro. Since the amount correlated with presence of S-100-containing folliculostellate (FS) cells, these were suggested to be a source IL-6 anterior (AP) lobe. In present study we used immunocytochemical techniques confirm this presumption. Freshly isolated subjected procedures whereby two different (neutralizing) monoclonal antibodies (MAb) against (6B4 20F3) polyclonal...
The inflammatory response plays an important role in the tissue destruction associated with periodontitis. Bacterial species can regulate responses of host cells, triggered by pathogens. It was hypothesized that, field oral microbiology/immunology, such effects bacterial interactions on cell might also be present. In this study, beneficial, commensal, and pathogenic Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans-induced interleukin-8 (IL-8) production human cells were investigated. beneficial...
In its 2008 World Development Report, the Bank pleaded for a ‘Green Revolution’ sub-Saharan Africa, pointing particularly to importance of including smallholder farmers. This article focuses on banana cropping system in Rwanda, and agricultural innovations introduced within this system. We first consider macro-level that are designed promote modernized sector correspond rationale Green Revolution. analyse how such ‘top-down’ received ground show smallholders seek evade new government...
Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography computed (PET-CT) and whole-body magnetic resonance imaging (WB-MRI) outperform standard technology for the detection of metastasis in prostate cancer (PCa). There are few direct comparisons between both modalities. This paper compares diagnostic accuracy PSMA PET-CT WB-MRI PCa. One hundred thirty-four patients with newly diagnosed PCa (n = 81) or biochemical recurrence after curative treatment 53) high-risk features...
SUMMARY We have studied the appearance of human interferon-β (HuIFN-β) as well its mRNA in cells treated with a protein, 22K factor, isolated from culture supernatant mitogen-stimulated peripheral blood leukocytes. By itself was found to be unable induce production significant amounts HuIFN-β protein. However, when aided by treatment cycloheximide or and actinomycin D (superinduction), caused increases ranging 3- 20-fold, depending on (diploid MG-63 osteosarcoma) induction schedule. Cells...
Endogenous (estradiol-17 beta; progesterone) and synthetic (ethinyl estradiol; cyproterone acetate; norethindrone norethynodrel) sex steroids were evaluated for tumor-initiating activity in the rat liver using Solt-Farber system. All negative. This provides further evidence that tumor formation long-term rodent bioassays by these compounds may be due to epigenetic mechanisms.
Background and objectivesWe assessed the agreement between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) imaging responses using whole-body magnetic resonance (wbMRI). Our aim was to explore potential prognostic value of PSA wbMRI in metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer (mHNPC) castration-resistant PC (mCRPC).MethodswbMRI prospectively performed 37 patients with mHNPC 51 mCRPC before after 6–12 mo androgen deprivation therapy an receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI). Imaging were defined according...
Effective male contraceptive options are condoms and vasectomy. Vasectomy should not be considered a reversible method of contraception even if vasovasostomy can offered to men restore fertility after Therefore, there is real questioning among urologists concerning cryopreservation before We carried out an international survey the practice vasectomy during vasovasostomy. An online anonymous was submitted from January June 2021 six European urological societies. The 31-items questionnaire...
