Impact of single dose of diethylcarbamazine and other antifilarial drug combinations on bancroftian filarial infection variables: assessment after 2 years.
The impact of single dose mass drug administration of diethylcarbamazine (DEC), DEC with albendazole (ALB), and ivermectin (IVR) with albendazole, was examined on the human bancroftian filarial infections in village scale trials in south India, from a follow-up study after 2 years. The treatment arms administered with DEC alone and DEC+ALB demonstrated long-term benefits in reducing microfilara...
متن کاملRole of Granulocyte Adherence
Recent studies implicate a role for granulocytes in the genesis of the microvascular and parenchymal cell dysfunction, which occurs upon reperfusion of ischemic tissues. Although the molecular mechanisms underlying this neutrophil-mediated injury are not completely understood, it is clear that an essential first step in granulocyte migration from the vascular lumen to the interstitial space is ...
متن کاملRecombinant Human TNFa Stimulates Production of Granulocyte Colony - Stimulating Factor
C OLONY-STIMULATING FACTORS (CSFs) are required for the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic cells. The granulocyte (G) and granulocyte-monocyte (GM) CSFs stimulate proliferation of committed stem cells for granulocytes and macrophages, and the GM-CSF can also enhance the proliferation of multipotential, erythroid, eosinophil, megakaryocyte, and mast stem cells.’4 Recen...
متن کاملRecombinant Human Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony-stimulating Factor Stimulates
A purified recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rH GM-CSF) was a powerful stimulator of mature human eosinophils and neutrophils. The purified rH GMCSF enhanced the cytotoxic activity of neutrophils and eosinophils against antibody-coated targets, stimulated phagocytosis of serum-opsonized yeast by both cell types in a dose-dependent manner, and stimulated neutrop...
متن کاملPoor Granulocyte Adherence in Myeloma
plasma did not correct low GA; second, two of our patients with low complement levels had normal GA; and third, normal GA has been reported in nonmyeloma patients with very low levels of C4.4 We found a striking correlation between low GA and the presence of urinary Bence Jones proteins. However, the heat lability of the adherence-inhibiting plasma factor, and its absence from the serum, sugges...
