Book and Conference Proceedings
Proceedings of the 2nd GeoMEast International Congress and Exhibition on Sustainable Civil Infrastructures, Egypt 2018 – The Official International Congress of the Soil-Structure Interaction Group in Egypt (SSIGE)
Chapter
The liquid-containing structures considered herein are those constructed with soil; thus, concrete dams, concrete reservoirs, cavities excavated in rock and steel tanks are not considered. The liquid-containin...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The purpose of this study was to investigate circulating polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMNL) oxidative metabolism and lipid peroxidation in patients with adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) who were trea...
Chapter
The design and performance of engineered waste containment systems, notably systems for the containment of liquid and gas, are addressed in this paper. These systems are used at landfills (for containment of m...
Article
Antiinflammatory activities and modulations of PMNL responses produced by treatment with tetrakis-μ-2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl] aminonicotinatodicopper (II) [Cu(II)2(niflumate)4] and niflumic acid were studied...
Article
A model is described of acute inflammation in the pleural cavity of rats using calcium pyrophosphate as the irritant. This model would seem to simulate the pseudogout syndrome.
Article
Cetirizine was first described as a specific anti-H1 molecule displaying potent antiallergic activity. It was later found that its pharmacological properties extended to cellular actions as on eosinophil recruitm...
Article
Thermal injury in rats leads to an impairment of polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) functions, particularly oxidative metabolism and phosphoinositide turnover. As prostaglandin E2, which has immunosuppressive prop...
Article
An impairment of polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) functions has been described following burn trauma. It was thus of interest to investigate the effect of RU 41740, an agent known to stimulate these cells, on...
Article
The first phase of the healing process is characterized by the development of an inflammatory reaction involving migration of inflammatory cells and release of inflammatory mediators. In a previous study, we h...
Article
Interaction between anti-inflammatory drugs and reactive oxygen metabolites must be considered in the course of pharmacological studies intended to develop new compounds. Effects of indomethacin, aspirin, and ...
Article
α1-Acid glycoprotein (α1-AGP), a naturally occurring human plasma protein and acute-phase reactant, was extracted by a two-step procedure from sera collected from four healthy men. Its activity was testedin vitro
Article
Levels of SP-like immunoreactivity were assessed by enzyme immunoassay in exudates induced in the rat by intrapleural injection of either calcium pyrophosphate (CaPP) or carrageenan. SP-like levels increased d...
Article
An enzyme immunoassay was used to measure the levels of bradykinin (BK)-like immunoreactivity in inflammatory exudates provoked by calcium pyrophosphate (CaPP) or carrageenin. BK-like immunoreactivity increase...
Article
The effect produced by three gold salts (sodium aurothiomalate, allochrysine, auranofin) on chemotaxis and random migration of rat polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN) was investigated under various experimental...
Article
In this study the technique of luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence (LECL), which was shown to be dependent on the generation of superoxide anion, has been employed to investigate the reactivity of polymorphonuc...
Article
This study has demonstrated that serum obtained from animals undergoing an acute inflammatory reaction induced by an intrapleural injection of dextran is able to modulate the proliferative response to PHA of l...
Article
The cellular origin and kinetics of TXB2 and 6-keto PGF1α in carrageenan-induced pleurisy has been studied. Maximum levels of these prostanoids occurred 1 hour after induction of pleurisy. Mononuclear cells initi...
Article
By using a clearly defined model of acute inflammation in rats, CaPP-induced pleurisy, we compared the evolution of four APR levels (Hp, HpX, α2M, SAP) at a local and peripheral site.
Article
We have studied the effect of immunomodulating agents on polymorphonuclear leucocyte chemotaxis and their relation to the modification of cyclic nucleotide levels.
