Short-interval lower-dose intravenous cyclophosphamide as induction and maintenance therapy for lupus nephritis: a prospective observational study
Cyclophosphamide (CYC) has long been considered a gold standard in inducing renal remission and preventing renal flares for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, the rational use of CYC ha...

Maternal obesity downregulates microRNA let-7g expression, a possible mechanism for enhanced adipogenesis during ovine fetal skeletal muscle development
Obesity in women of childbearing age is increasing at an alarming rate. Growing evidence shows that maternal obesity induces detrimental effects on offspring health, including pre-disposition to obesity. We ha...

Successful treatment of SAPHO syndrome with severe spinal disorder using entercept: a case study
SAPHO syndrome (synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis, and osteitis) is a rare disease. Presently, there is no treatment guideline for this illness. Several studies suggested entercept, a novel biological ...

Open AccessMetformin mitigates the impaired development of skeletal muscle in the offspring of obese mice
Maternal obesity is linked with offspring obesity and type 2 diabetes. Skeletal muscle (SM) insulin resistance is central to the development of diabetes. Adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase ...

Regeneration of myelinated fiber after crush injury is retarded in sciatic nerves of mutant Japanese quails deficient in neurofilaments
Regeneration of myelinated fibers in the sciatic nerve 2 weeks after crush injury was studied morphometrically in mutant Japanese quails deficient in neurofilaments and in normal quails (controls). There were...

Smaller axon and unaltered numbers of microtubules per axon in relation to number of myelin lamellae of myelinated fibers in the mutant quail deficient in neurofilaments
To characterize the morphological features of the myelinated fibers in the mutant quails deficient in neurofilaments (NF), caused by a nonsense mutation in the NF-L gene, the morphological parameters of the ax...

Greater number of microtubules per axon of unmyelinated fibers of mutant quails deficient in neurofilaments: possible compensation for the absence of neurofilaments
Morphometric evaluations were performed on the peroneal nerve from mutant quails deficient in neurofilaments (NF) to elucidate the effect of an absence of NF on unmyelinated axons. The diameter frequency distr...

Smaller number of large myelinated fibers and focal myelin thickening in mutant quails deficient in neurofilaments
The peripheral nervous system of a mutant of a Japanese quail deficient in neurofilaments (mutant) and of a normal Japanese quail (control) was morphometrically evaluated to characterize the morphological find...

Immunohistochemical demonstration of viral antigens in Japanese encephalitis
Japanese encephalitis virus antigens were immunohistochemically demonstrated in formalin-fixed paraffin sections from an autopsied brain. Glial nodules were always associated with antigen-positive cell debris....
