Anti-inflammatory medications have been used for the treatment of chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), given that inflammation and pain are traditionally associated with this condition. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) classification divides category III into (1) category IIIA--patients with white blood cells (WBCs) in their expressed prostatic secretions, post-pro...

A 38-year-old Bangladeshi male presented to the Emergency Room with acute confusional state for 3 days, constitutional symptoms for 3 months and testicular mass for 2 months. Clinical examination revealed that he was febrile, confused, agitated with normal cranial nerves, normal motor system with bilateral down going planters, and there were no cerebeller sign. Systemic examination showed no ly...

The present study was undertaken to determine relative biological effectiveness (RBE) values for simulated solar particle event (SPE) radiation on peripheral blood cells using Yucatan minipigs and electron-simulated SPE as the reference radiation. The results demonstrated a generally downward trend in the RBE values with increasing doses of simulated SPE radiation for leukocytes in the irradiat...

BACKGROUND The WNR channel of the XN-Series automated hematology analyzer (Sysmex) counts white blood cells (WBCs) and simultaneously performs a differential counting of basophils and nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs). The detection process involves exposing the cells to WNR-specific reagents containing an acidic detergent and a fluorescent dye and measuring the intensity of the forward scatter...

We used a sensitive, quantitative bisulfite PCR assay, methylation sensitive single nucleotide primer extension (Ms-SNuPE), to measure methylation of the 5' CpG islands of c-abl and p15 in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) patients during progression. We found that the Pa promoter of c-abl was methylated in 81% (17/21) of the white blood cells (WBCs) of CML patients, which correlates with prev...

We propose a new hydrophoretic method for continuous blood cell separation using a microfluidic device composed of slanted obstacles and filtration obstacles. The slanted obstacles have a larger height and gap than the particles in order to focus them to a sidewall by hydrophoresis. In the successive structure, the height and gap of the filtration obstacles with a filtration pore are set betwee...

Aim: This study investigates the effect of microbiological characteristics causative organisms on scintigraphicpatterns labelledwhite blood cell (WBC) scans in cases proven osteomyelitis.Methods: Retrospective analysis 25 patients referred with suspected osteomyelitis and had both bone andlabelled WBC performed complete records culture organism.The labelled were retrieved reviewed by two nuclea...

the objective of this research was to investigate the efficacy of dietary inclusion of probiotics primalac® and bactocell® and prebiotic fermacto® on broiler’s performance and immune response, individually or in combination. a total of 540 one-d-old male ross 308 broiler chicks were allocated into 6 experimental treatments with 6 replicates of 15 birds per replicate from 1 to 42 d of age. the b...

Allogeneic blood transfusion results in the infusion into the recipient of large amounts of foreign antigens in both soluble and cell-associated forms. The persistence of these antigens in the circulation of the recipient may create conditions that allow the development of immune down-regulation. Evidence from a variety of sources indicates that allogeneic blood transfusion enhances the surviva...

Deficiency in vitamin C, an essential micronutrient and antioxidant, may result a compromised immune response because of its central role system regulation. How effective Vitamin C might be preventing treating infections is important question to answer. We reviewed the literature learn more about C's health white blood cells (WBCs) expression genes involved consider whether or not could enhance...
