Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a collection of inflammatory disorders associated with paradoxical worsening of preexisting infectious processes after the initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals. At the initial stage of the disease, the imaging findings can be misdiagnosed as pneumonia resulting ...

Abstract The thymus is composed of thymocytes and stromal cells including thymic epithelial mesenchymal cells. Thymic are originated from Neural Crest (NC) the mesoderm. Although it known that NC-derived (NCd) contribute to organogenesis development, their specific role in T cell regeneration unclear. To evaluate regenerative ability NCd thymus, we used lethally irradiated mice examine effect i...

Networks and bundles comprised of F-actin and myosin II generate contractile forces used to drive morphogenic processes in both muscle and nonmuscle cells. To elucidate the minimal requirements for contractility and the mechanisms underlying their contractility, model systems reconstituted from a known set of purified proteins in vitro are needed. Here, we describe two experimental protocols ou...

Lymphomas of the oral cavity are a rare complication of advanced HIV/AIDS disease. The clinical appearance of these neoplasms includes masses or ulcerative lesions that involve the oral soft tissue and the jaw as the predominant manifestation. We report the case of a patient with AIDS who developed diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma of the oral cavity during highly active antiretrovira...
