Studies that aim to characterise the susceptibility of ecologically relevant and non-model fish polar cod (Boreogadus saida) model carcinogens are required. Polar were exposed under laboratory conditions for six months control, 0.03 μg BaP/g fish/week 0.3 dietary benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), a reference carcinogen. The concentrations 3-OH-BaP bile metabolite transcriptional responses genes involved in...

introduction delayed splenic rupture (dsr) is an unusual outcome following blunt abdominal trauma. although dsr is defined as bleeding more than 48 hours after blunt trauma in a previously hemodynamically stable patient, a review of the reported cases in the literature shows that in almost all of the cases the initial ct imaging revealed some form of damage to the spleen. case presentation here...

Polysaccharides are closely associated with immune regulation, but there are different polysaccharide effects from different sources. In this study, the aim was to investigate the effect of tremella polysaccharides (TP) in cyclophosphamide-induced immunodeficient mice. We observed the thymus and spleen index, liver and spleen pathological changes, and the levels of IL-2, IL-12, INF-γ, TGF-β and...

Abstract There may be immunologic alternations during Tourette syndrome (TS) development. This study aimed to determine the immune function changes in different aspects (spleen or thymus index, plasma cytokines, and T cell) an 3,3′‐iminodipropionitrile (IDPN)‐induced rat model of TS. Male Sprague‐Dawley rats were assigned control TS groups. The group received intraperitoneal infections normal s...

BACKGROUND Shen-Qi-Jie-Yu-Fang (SJ Fang) is a herbal preparation used in traditional Chinese medicine, and is a potentially important new therapeutic agent in postpartum depression (PPD). Previously, we have elucidated the effects of SJ Fang on hormone receptors and monoamine neurotransmitters involved in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal and hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axes in PPD rats. Ho...

Background: noninvasive esophageal parameters may prevent the need for an esophagogastroduodenoscopy. Liver cirrhosis patients benefit from PC/SD ratio and platelet count to spleen diameter (PC/SD) ratio, both of which are yet useful indicators liver progression. Objective: This study aimed evaluate diagnostic accuracy index diagnosis gastric varices in with cirrhosis, using esophagogastroduode...

The effect of acute heat stress on certain immunological parameters were studied in male albino rats. The test rats were exposed to an ambient temperature of 40 degrees celsius for 30 minutes and sacrificed immediately. Total WBC count, Differential count, Phagocytic index, NBT reduction, organ weight body weight ratio of spleen, thymus, and popliteal lymph nodes, and soluble immune complex lev...

Abstract Objectives Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Imaging is a key test in the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA). Extracardiac involvement common light chain (AL) and MRI findings may assist its diagnosis. We sought to investigate utility splenic CMR parameters for CA. Methods Thirty-four patients with AL 32 severe left ventricular hypertrophy setting aortic stenosis (LVH-AS) who complet...

there is still been no report of splenic involvement in the wake of colon cancer. in this case, air was seen in the spleen and liver following the penetration of colon cancer to the continuous spleen. colon cancers always do not present with clear and common symptoms. some times with a non-specific and uncommon symptoms and signs present that would be amazed physicians and researchers. it is ve...
