722 LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY (CMI) IN INTRAUTERINE GROWTH RETARDED (IUGR) INFANTS

EVALUATION OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY IN MUSTARD GAS INJURIES

Yamakido, et al. in 1986 have studied immunological parameters in poison gas workers, and a depression has been observed in immunologic response. Also, the frequency of cancer has reached as high as five-fold that of the general population. In the present study, cell-mediated immunity (CMI) was measured in three groups of Iranian mustard gas-injured patients. The first group were those wh...

Intrauterine restriction (IUGR).

Perinatal mortality and morbidity is markedly increased in intrauterine growth restricted (IUGR) fetuses. Prenatal identification of IUGR is the first step in clinical management. For that purpose a uniform definition and criteria are required. The etiology of IUGR is multifactorial and whenever possible it should be assessed. When the cause is of placental origin, it is possible to identify th...

EVA LUATION OF THE ROLE OF CELL-MEDIATED IMMUNITY IN DERMATOPHYTOSIS

For demonstration of cell-mediated immunity and its role in the process of dermatophytosis, 98 patients with acute dermatophytosis (group I) and 131 chronic dermatophytosis patients (group 2) were chosen. In ail patients, lymphocyte transfonnation and skin test were used. 96 members of group I (98%) had positive delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) responses to trichophytin, whereas only 43 ...

Hypoxia reduces placental mTOR activation in a hypoxia‐induced model of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR)

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a protein that regulates cell growth in response to altered nutrient and growth factor availability. Our objective was to assess activated mTOR and its intracellular intermediates p70, and 4EBP1 in placental and invasive trophoblast cells in a hypoxia-induced model of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) in rats. Rats were treated with hypoxia (9%) for ...
