The purpose of this study was to compare the macroscopic and microscopic findings of experimentally induced inflammatory lesions in jejunum and ileum with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings. Inflammatory small bowel lesions were experimentally induced in six pigs. Bowel segments in jejunum and ileum were isolated, and a solution with trinitr...

Background: Growth disorders are commonly observed in children with chronic inflammatory disease. It is likely that these disorders are mediated by a combination of factors, including the disease process and its treatment (with drugs such as glucocorticoids [GCs]). These factors affect the growth hormone-insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) axis, w...

The premature ageing Ataxia Telangiectasia (AT) and Werner syndromes (WS) are associated with accelerated cellular ageing. Young WS fibroblasts have an aged appearance and activated p38 MAP kinase, and treatment with the p38 inhibitor SB230580 extends their lifespan to within the normal range. SB203580 also extends the replicative lifespan of norma...

Vanin-1 is a pantetheinase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of pantetheine to produce pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and cysteamine. Reported here is a highly sensitive fluorescent assay using a novel fluorescently labeled pantothenate derivative. The assay has been used for characterization of a soluble version of human vanin-1 recombinant protein, id...

Objective: To investigate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis via the insulintolerance test (ITT), standard-dose (250 µg) ACTH test (SDT) and low-dose (1 µg) ACTH test (LDT) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS). DESIGN: The study group included 13 male patients with AS who were diagnosed according to the Modified New York criteria...

Bovine ephemeral fever virus (BEFV) is an arthropod-borne rhabdovirus that is classified as the type species of the genus Ephemerovirus. It occurs throughout tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia, and Australia, causing a disabling and sometimes lethal disease in cattle and water buffaloes. It is transmitted by several species of biting ...

Ziele der bildgebenden Diagnostik der entzündlichen Veränderungen der Nasennebenhöhlen (NNH) sind die Bestätigung der Diagnose, Bestimmung der Ausdehnung und der Lokalisation sowie Beschreibung anatomischer Varianten, um die Patienten zu selektieren, die von einer chirurgischen Sanierung der Nasennebenhöhlen profitieren würden. Im Rahmen dieser Übe...

MAPK-activated protein kinase-2 (MAPKAPK2) regulates the synthesis of tumor necrosis factor and other cytokines and is a potential drug target for inflammatory diseases. Five protein constructs were produced in 4–10 mg quantities per liter of culture media using baculovirus-infected insect cells and characterized for kinase activity, thermal stabil...

The subcommittee of the International Headache Society for headache classification (ICHD-II) has recently recognised that secondary headaches may occur in patients affected by inflammatory diseases (ID) of the central nervous system (CNS), classifying them among the headaches attributed to non-vascular intracranial disorders. The aim of the study w...
