Background: Postoperative peritoneal adhesion bands are one of the most common complications caused by foreign material.  Objective: To investigate the effect of colchicine on talc-induced peritoneal adhesion bands. Method: Adhesion bands were induced in 30 short hair England Guinea pigs by introduction of talc-saline solution (10 mL, 10%) into the peritoneal cavity.  Afterwards, the pigs were ...

This paper presents the movement dynamic of the train and the relationship between the speed of wheel and train, as well as a discussion about the concept of wheel slip. There are two different operation regions designated as creep and wheelspin areas for wheel slip. Creep and wheelspin areas have stable and unstable characteristics, respectively. Wheels and rails are constructed from iron, and...

Fredriksson, F. 2016. Outcome and prevention strategies in peritoneal adhesion formation. Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Medicine 1217. 65 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-9557-2. Peritoneal adhesions occur in up to 93% of adults after peritoneal trauma during surgery. Most adhesions are asymptomatic but can cause female ...

Adhesion is a key virulence factor of pathogens and can be affected by the environment. Our previously research with RNA-seq indicated that mcp, aer, cheB, and cheV might play roles in the regulation of adhesion in Vibrio alginolyticus (ND-01). In order to determine whether and how environmental factors affect adhesion through these genes, gene silencing was performed followed by quantitative r...

The MAP kinase pathway is a major regulator of both normal and oncogenic growth. We report that activation of the MAP kinase ERK2 by serum or purified growth factors is strongly dependent on cell adhesion to extracellular matrix proteins. This effect is specific to soluble growth factors, since suspended cells still activate ERK2 in response to plating on fibronectin, and is reversible. Analysi...

The adhesion of leukocytes to vascular endothelial cells is a highly coordinated process that is governed by a number of factors, including the expression of specific adhesion glycoproteins, physical forces generated within the microcirculation, and inflammatory mediators released by a variety of activated cells. The digestive system, with its large resident population of immune cells and its t...

OBJECTIVE To determine the genetic contribution to leukocyte endothelial adhesion. METHODS Leukocyte endothelial adhesion was assessed through a novel cell-based assay using human lymphoblastoid cell lines. A high-throughput screening method was developed to evaluate the inter-individual variability in leukocyte endothelial adhesion using lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from different donor...

Previous studies have shown a close correlation between the generation of B cell autoantibodies and imbalances in T lymphocyte subpopulations and the occurrence of disease. In this study, we have analyzed the effects of abnormal expression of CD4+CD25+-regulatory T cells, T lymphocyte subpopulations, immunoglobulins, complement factors, inflammatory factors, and adhesion molecules in the periph...

A methylcellulose suspension system that prevents cell-surface contact with the substrate was used to study the role of cell adhesion in the regulation of proliferation. The nonadhesive conditions established by suspension culture cause BALB/c 3T3 (A31) cells to enter a G0 state of growth arrest within 48 hr as defined by an inhibition of DNA synthesis and a suppression of c-myc and histone mRN...
