Anti-Inflammatory Effects of < em > Clematis terniflora < /em > Leaf on Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Acute Lung Injury
In this study, EELCT inhibited the essential inflammatory mediators, such as nitric oxide, cyclooxygenase-2, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin- (IL-) 6, IL-1β, and inducible nitric oxide synthase, by suppressing the nuclear factor-κB and mitogen-activated protein kinase activation in macrophages. Acute lung injury (ALI) is a fatal respiratory disease accompanied by serious inflammation. With high mortality rate, the disease has no effective treatments. Therefore, new therapeutic agents must be developed for ALI. We expected that EELCT can be a promising therapeutic agent for ALI by reducing inflammatory responses and...

Tularemia treatment: experimental and clinical data
Tularemia is a zoonosis caused by the Gram negative, facultative intracellular bacterium Francisella tularensis. This disease has multiple clinical presentations according to the route of infection, the virulence of the infecting bacterial strain, and the underlying medical condition of infected persons. Systemic infections (e.g., pneumonic and typhoidal form) and complications are rare but may be life threatening. Most people suffer from local infection (e.g., skin ulcer, conjunctivitis, or pharyngitis) with regional lymphadenopathy, which evolve to suppuration in about 30% of patients and a chronic course of infection. C...

Snail-induced anaphylaxis in patients with underlying < em > Artemisia vulgaris < /em > pollinosis: the role of carbohydrates
CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that O-glycosylation can be relevant in patients with anaphylaxis due to snails and allergy to Artemisia vulgaris. This new entity representing cross-reactivity between AV and HA could be named Snail-Artemisia Syndrome.PMID:38186194 | DOI:10.15586/aei.v52i1.966 (Source: Allergologia et Immunopathologia)
