The assisted reproductive techniques (ARTs) such as in vitro fertilization, embryo transfer, and cryopreservation of gametes have contributed considerably to the development biomedical sciences addition improving infertility treatments humans well breeding domestic animals. However, ARTs used canine species strictly limited utility when compared with other mammalian species, including humans. Although successful somatic cell cloning has been reported, artificial insemination by frozen semen...
Type I variant Kounis syndrome is characterized by coronary spasm following an allergic or anaphylactic reaction. Coronary also recognized as a contributing factor in spontaneous artery dissection (SCAD).
The Direct Oral Anticoagulant (DOAC) Score can predict bleeding risk in patients with atrial fibrillation taking DOACs; however, it lacks external validation. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the association between DOAC and events who underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Growth of the tumor autoinduced by 20-methylcholanthrene (MC) in rats was inhibited after administration Toxoplasma lysate antigen (TLA). The antitumor activity TLA most obvious early stage tumoral growth. When administered to before appearance tumor, formation delayed slightly. Histopathological studies revealed dense growths spindle cells untreated control rat, while enlarged central necrosis with infiltration lymphocytes and neutrophils apparent TLA-treated rats. According...
This study was designed to demonstrate the broad utility of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosis carcinoma. Twenty-six New Zealand White rabbits either sex (1.7-3.4 kg) were used investigation. VX2 carcinoma (squamous cell carcinoma) implanted in brain, lung, ovary, bone or muscle rabbits. Contrast agent, Gadodiamide Injection, administered intravenously at a dose 0.1 mmol/kg. MR images obtained by 1.5 T, 2.0 T field strength super-conductive MRI unit. The...
Therapeutic effects of Toxoplasma lysate antigen (TLA) were studied in mice bearing the tumor second passage 20-methylcholanthrene (MC)-induced cells. Intramuscular administration TLA 7 days after tumor-cell inoculation caused apparent inhibition growth on day 14. The treatment facilitated therapeutic effects. Intravenous transfer spleen cells prepared from TLA-sensitized into tumor-bearing also represented inhibitory Prominent seen when transferred 5 sensitization donor animals. absent...
Abstract Background Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be used to characterize the details of calcified plaques because it allows high-resolution evaluation coronary plaques, thrombi, and calcium. Case summary A 72-year-old man on haemodialysis who had stenosis with a severe lesion at left anterior descending artery underwent percutaneous intervention. Pre-intervention OCT imaging identified nodular calcification (NC) that protruded into lumen artery. To treat this lesion, we performed...
Objective: The repeatability of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an important issue for younger patients or with early structural deterioration (SVD) concerns.
Cognitive impairment assessed using the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE) is associated with short-term mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We long-term prognostic impact of cognitive in patients severe stenosis post-TAVI.
Abstract Background Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an uncommon cause of acute syndrome (ACS). Various factors predispose individuals to SCAD, including vasospasm, which has been identified in some studies as a related factor. Case summary We present series three cases ACS attributed SCAD. Two involved early de novo recurrence potentially spasm, and one case iatrogenic during spasm provocation test. Discussion High rates SCAD within 30 days the initial event have observed,...
The present study was designed to confirm the usefulness of contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing strokes stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRSP) and middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion, hepatocellular carcinoma hydronephrosis each experimental rat model. Male Sprague-Dawley (250-500 g), male SHRSP (ca. 250 g) F344 300 were used for investigation. Gadodiamide injection (Omniscan, Daiichi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. Nycomed AS, Norway) administered...
Spleen cells from Toxoplasma lysate antigen (TLA)-sensitized BALB/c mice showed the strong cytotoxic activity against both natural killer (NK)-sensitive (YAC-1 and RL♂-1) NK-insensitive (P-815), when incubated with TLA or recombinant human IL-2 (rhIL-2). The increment of concentration in culture medium increased activity. Treatment effector cells; spleen TLA-sensitized TLA, anti-asialo GM1 anti-Thy-1 plus complement inhibited cells, whereas treatment anti-mouse Lyt-2.2 serum had no effect on...
In order to identify mechanisms responsible for the anti-tumor effects of Toxoplasma lysate antigen (TLA), we used an in vitro 51Cr release assay study functional properties plastic-adherent cells during induction splenic cytotoxic activity by TLA. Cytotoxic non-adherent was measured all experiments after a 6 days incubation. Induction TLA required presence spleen cells. contrast, rhIL-2 alone able induce transformation from Contact between adherent and necessary successful Treatment with...
