Fc-receptor-mediated attachment and ingestion of opsonized sheep erythrocytes (EA) by the macrophages of spleen and peritoneal cavity were studied during dengue virus type 2 (DV) infection of Swiss albino mice. Following intracerebral inoculation, virus antigen could be demonstrated by immunofluorescence in the splenic macrophages from day 4 and in peritoneal macrophages from day 5 post-infecti...

wandering spleen is an uncommon entity in adults and has been described only rarely with sigmoid volvulus, that rarely affects children and adolescents. it is usually described in adults.wandering spleen characterized by the abnormal location of the spleen, caused by incomplete fusion of the four primary splenic ligaments, allowing the spleen to be mobile within the abdomen.the wandering spleen...

The current paradigm in Plasmodium falciparum malaria pathogenesis states that young, ring-infected erythrocytes (rings) circulate in peripheral blood and that mature stages are sequestered in the vasculature, avoiding clearance by the spleen. Through ex vivo perfusion of human spleens, we examined the interaction of this unique blood-filtering organ with P falciparum-infected erythrocytes. As ...

conclusions the association of horseshoe kidney with a wandering spleen in this case may be due to an embryological anomaly. introduction a wandering spleen occurs when there is a laxity of the ligaments that fix the spleen in its normal anatomical position. case presentation this is a case report of a wandering spleen with horseshoe kidney in a 29-year-old male admitted with acute lower abdomi...

although splenic metastasis is fairly common in disseminated cancer, solitary splenic metastasis in the absence of diffuse dissemination is rare. we report a case of 44 year-old man who developed isolated splenic metastasis of colon cancer. the patient had undergone right sided hemicolectomy for colon cancer in 1988. in 2001, he underwent reoperation because of local recurrence of tumor in the ...

background: cadmium (cd) is a heavy metal which is widely spread in our surroundings and has a very strong ability to accumulate in the body organs such as spleen. in this study we aimed to determine the genotoxicity and cytotoxicity effects on mice spleen  treated with cadmium. methods: thirty male mice were enrolled in this study and kept in standard conditions. mice were randomly divided int...

Background. Drinking mineral water is one of the ethnopharmacologic factors. Organic substances, despite their presence in all drinking waters, are still considered to be active only Naftussya type (which, due mineralization less than 1 g/L, not formally mineral), whereas physiological activity true waters (which greater 1-2 g/L) associated with electrolytes and trace elements. Previously, we i...
