This article explores the influence of local concepts of matrilineal kinship and descent through women in the construction of a modern Sufi silsila (an authorized ‘chain’ of spiritual and genealogical ancestry) in Sri Lanka. Makkattar Vappa, a popular Sufi shaykh in the Tamil-speaking eastern region of the island, asserts hereditary maulana (sayyid) status as a member of the Prophet’s household...

PURPOSE The mechanism of axial elongation in the myopic eyeball remains to be elucidated. It is known that the expression profile for some proteins in the aqueous humor (AH) changes in some diseases. Accordingly, determinations of these AH proteins may serve to understand their potential role in this pathogenesis. To identify the possible mechanism in myopia development, a proteomic analysis of...

In laboratory animals and in mouse hepatoma cells in culture the Ah receptor previously has been shown to mediate induction of aryl hydro carbon hydroxylase (cytochrome Pi-450) by 3-methylcholanthrene, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and related compounds. We examined human lung cytosols to determine whether the Ah receptor was present in human tissues. Cytosol was prepared from gros...

This article presents a radiometric assay to determine the enzymatic activity of platelet-activating factor (PAF) acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH), also known as lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 and phospholipase A2 group 7A. The method is based on the release of radioactively labeled acetate from sn-2-labeled PAF and separation of substrate and product using reversed-phase column chromatography...

Acquired haemophilia (AH) is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by the presence of acquired inhibitors against Factor VIII causing disruption of coagulation cascade. It has no known genetic inheritance, and diagnosis remains a challenge. The peculiar presentations are later age of onset as acute pain in weight-bearing joints and spontaneous muscle haematoma with isolated prolonged activated...

Secondary aqueous humor (2 degrees AH) is known to contain elevated levels of serum macromolecules and has been shown to stimulate the proliferation of lens epithelial cells both in vivo and in vitro as well as corneal endothelial cells in vitro. The purpose of this study was to characterize the response of bovine corneal endothelial cells to 2 degrees AH from rabbits and to compare the effect ...

Mallory-Denk Bodies (MDBs) are prevalent in various liver diseases including alcoholic hepatitis (AH) and are formed in mice livers by feeding diethyl 1,4-dehydro-2,4,6trimethyl-3,5-pyridine-dicarboxylate (DDC). The chemokine CXCL8, also known as interleukin-8 (IL-8) and its receptors are involved in oncogenesis and in tumor progression, invasion, and metastasis. We reported previously the mark...

Emotions and the neuroendocrine system are known to affect leukocyte distribution. However, there have so far been few reports on the relationship between hypothalamically induced emotional behavior and the endocrine-immune response. We previously reported changes in the leukocyte distribution and adhesion molecules induced by anteromedial hypothalamus stimulation (AH stimulation), which elicit...
