BACKGROUND A dominant T helper type 1 (Th1) immune response is thought to be involved in Crohn's disease (CD). SLC/CCL21 and ELC/CCL19, chemokines that regulate T cell homing and promote recirculating T and dendritic cell (DC) interactions, help control antigen specific T cell responses. AIMS To investigate the Th1 response and SLC and ELC in CD pathogenesis. METHODS Surgically resected int...

background: linguatula serrata, a tongue worm, is anaberrant cosmopolitan parasite, which inhabits the caninerespiratory system (final host). the discharged eggs infect manyplant feeder, including ruminants and human being, that producevisceral and nasopharyngeal linguatulosis which is known asmarrara syndrome in man. objectives:in the current study, theprevalence rate of infection with l. serr...

Because the nymphal stages of L. serrata isolated from different animals have different strains, it was assumed that their somatic proteins would be different. The present study was conducted to evaluate and characterise the somatic proteins of L. serrata nymphs, isolated from goats and cattle mesenteric lymph nodes. Nymphs were collected from the infected mesenteric lymph nodes of slaughtered ...

Nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in the arterial vasodilation and associated vascular hyporesponsiveness to vasoconstrictors observed in liver cirrhosis. Bacteria, potent activators of NO and TNF-alpha synthesis, are found in the mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) of ascitic cirrhotic rats. Here, we investigated the impact of bacterial translocation (BT) to MLNs on TNF-alpha production, vascula...

Objective(s): Bacterial translocation in patients with cirrhosis is an important triggering factor for infections and mortality. In the bile duct ligation (BDL) model, crucial players of bacterial translocation are still unknown. This study aims to determine the interrelation between microbiome composition in the colon, mesenteric lymph nodes, and liver, as well as the...

linguatula serrata is one of the important zoonotic parasites. carnivores serve as definitive host. the larvae existed in mesenteric lymph nodes (mlns), liver, lungs, etc of intermediate herbivores. the definitive host becomes infected by ingesting viscera containing the infective nymphal stage. humans may be infected with linguatula either by ingestion of nymphs resulting in a condition called...

ABST RACT Mycobacterium bovis (M. bovis) infection in cattle remains a major zoonotic and economic problem in many countries. In addition, M. bovis is an important pathogen of both man and animals. The standard diagnostic test for this disease is the intradermal tuberculin test, one of the oldest immunological tests still in widespread use. However, this test can lack both sensitivity and speci...

bovine immunodeficiency virus is a lentivirus which can cause varieties of infectious complications and induce remarkable losses to dairy industry. considering to the probability of worldwide distribution of the biv infection, this study was conducted for the first time in iran to determine of the status of biv infection in the holstein cattle and evaluate the associated findings. according to ...
