background : pain is one of the main protests of inflammatory diseases, hence, understanding the mechanisms which involved in the induction and persistence of pain is essential. microglia is a contributing factor in the onset and maintenance of inflammation. increased microglial   activation increases the level of central pro-inflammatory cytokines and the development of central sensitization f...

ae is a serious medical condition in which the immune system attacks the brain, impairing function. with rapid diagnosis and appropriate treatment, many patients recover most or all functions. however, not all patients experience full recovery; with approximately 6% mortality and other patients who never regain significant brain and/or bodily functions. autoimmune encephalitis can produce a wid...

background: tonsils and adenoids are involved in both local immunity and immune surveillance for the development of immune defense mechanisms. a number of investigators have found decreased immunoglobulin levels after adenotonsillectomy while others have failed to find significant changes. the effects of adenotonsillectomy on the cellular immunity of children have not been investigated extensiv...

Background: This study evaluated the effects of the maternal immune system stimulation or suppression during the pregnancy on the development of the neonate’s immune system.Methods: A total of 20 female rats were divided into four groups. The groups were treated using Leishmania major, Salmonella typhimurium, Tacrolimus, and sterilized normal saline. The animals were mated after 3-time tr...

the aim followed in the present study was an evaluation of the adaptive immune traits (cellular and humoral) of both males and females in iranian commercial vs azarbayijan native fowls. information obtained from cellular and humoral responses of 49 birds of arian broiler line. 79 azarbayijan native birds were made used of. total antibody titration, immunoglobulin y titration (igy), and immunogl...

this experiment was conducted to determin the effect of 25(h)d3 and k3 vitamins on immune system of ross 308 broiler chicken in a completely randomized design with a 3×4 factorial arrangement with four replicates and 16 observation per replicate. treatments included vitamine d3 (0, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8 μg) and vitamin k3 (0, 2 and 6 μg). on day 180 g incubation 0.5 ml of treatment solution was inju...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the immune system and lymphocyte function in 41 iranian β-thalassemic patients and 50 controls, ages ranging from 2 to 18 years. the patients consisted of 20 splenectomized and 21 non-splenectomized patients. they were treated with desferal, and had received repeated blood transfusion. laboratory investigations included measurement of total t lymphocytes, a...

skeletal muscle may develop adaptive chaperone and enhancementdefense system through daily exercisestimulation. the present study investigated resistance and exhaustion training alters the expression of chaperoneproteins. these proteins function to maintain homeostasis, facilitate repair from injury and provide protection. exercise-induced production of hsps in skeletal muscle and peripheral le...
