Background: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease with multifactorial and complicated mechanisms. Elevated level of exhaled Nitric Oxide (NO) in asthma and other inflammatory lung diseases has led to many studies examining NO as a potential marker of airway inflammation. Objective: This study was designed to determine the level of NO in Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) fluid during early and l...

HIGHLIGHTS E-nerolidol, 1,8-cineol and methyl eugenol rich species of Melaleuca were identified in this study. Essential oils exhibited strong antioxidant,antibacterial Invitro anti inflammatory activity. These marker constitutents impart valuable place crop agriculture.

Heart failure (HF) is a cardiovascular disease with complex pathological pathway and influenced by many factors. Such mechanism would impair cardiac function structural stability. One that plays role in maintaining the structure of heart extracellular matrix (ECM), disruption has causing dysfunction. ECM regulation associated metalloproteinase (MMP). Overexpression metalloproteinases can lead t...

PURPOSE Previously, Kawasaki disease (KD) treatment with low-dose aspirin was administered for 6-8 weeks after the acute phase. However, inflammatory marker levels normalize before 6-8 weeks. In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical outcome of short-term low-dose aspirin treatment based on inflammatory and thrombotic marker levels. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of the...
