25. Effect of photodynamic therapy on the extracellular matrix and associated components
In many countries, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been recognized as a standard treatment for malignant conditions (for example, esophageal and lung cancers) and non-malignant ones such as age-related macular degeneration and actinic keratoses. The administration of a non-toxic photosensitizer, its selective retention in highly proliferating cells and the la

26. AvaliaÃÃo do antÃgeno SAG2a recombinante de Toxoplasma gondii como um potencial marcador diagnÃstico para Toxoplasmose humana aguda
Recombinant proteins have been used for the serological diagnosis of Toxoplasma gondii infection to differentiate between the acute and chronic phases of toxoplasmosis. In this study, we evaluated the reactivity of IgG and IgG1 antibodies by immunoassays in acute and chronic phase sera from patients with toxoplasmosis against two recombinant antigens cloned

27. Avaliação da glicolipoproteína como antígeno para sorodiagnóstico da leptospirose / Evaluation of glycolipoprotein antigen for serodiagnosis of leptospirosis
The aim of this work was the study of serologic response against leptospira glycolipoprotein (GLP) for the purpose of standardizing its use as an antigen on serological tests to diagnose human leptospirosis. Among the proteins involved in the pathogenicity, GLP is yet to be studied regarding its immunogenicity and its use as an antigen in the detection of sp

28. Dynamics of acute phase proteins and ultrasonographic mensurations of conceptus during gestation in Boxers / Dinâmica de proteínas de fase aguda e mensurações ultra-sonográficas no concepto durante o período gestacional em cadelas da raça Boxer
The aims of this study were: to set up the dynamics of acute phase proteins serum concentrations in pregnant bitches and ultrasonographis features of conceptus and make a correlation among acute phase proteins serum levels, ultrasonographic features of conceptus and gestational age. Serial ultrasonographic examinations were performed on 09 boxer bitches, 2 o

29. Protein 3-nitrotyrosine formation during Trypanosoma cruzi infection in mice
Nitric oxide (·NO) is a diffusible messenger implicated in Trypanosoma cruzi resistance. Excess production of ·NO and oxidants leads to the generation of nitrogen dioxide (·NO2), a strong nitrating agent. Tyrosine nitration is a post-translational modification resulting from the addition of a nitro (-NO2) group to the ortho-position of tyrosine residues.

30. Estudo das concentrações séricas de proteína C-reativa e amilóide A em cães com linfoma submetidos a quimioterapia / Serum concentrations of C-reactive protein and amyloid A in dogs with lymphoma submitted to chemotherapy
Lymphoma is a common neoplasm in dogs and chemotherapy is indicated to achieve long-term survivals. During the treatment, frequent relapses require drug regimen modifications. C-reactive protein (CRP) and serum amyloid A (SAA) are hepatic acute-phase mediators and usually are increased in inflammatory, infectious and neoplastic conditions. The aim of this st

31. Poliformismo da haptoglobina, status de ferro e proteinas de fase aguda em pacientes infectados pelo virus da imunodeficiencia humana (HIV)
Haptoglobin (Hp) is a plasma protein with antioxidant and immunomodulatory properties. Three main genotypes/phenotypes (Hp1-1, Hp2-1, Hp2-2) show distinctive efficiencies in their activities and have been related to susceptibility and/or outcome in different diseases, including HIV-infection. We compared the Hp genotype distribution between 387 Brazilian HIV

32. "Avaliação da procalcitonina como marcador de sepse e de choque séptico em pacientes pediátricos" / Evaluation of procalcitonin and C reactive protein as a sepsis marker in pediatric patients
Bacterial sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates and children. Early detection of bacterial sepsis is difficult because the first signs of this disease may be minimal or nonspecific. The availability of a laboratory test to accurately and rapidly identify septic neonates and children would be of great value in improving the outcome of

33. Lung tissue remodeling in the acute respiratory distress syndrome
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by diffuse alveolar damage, and evolves progressively with three phases: exsudative, fibroproliferative, and fibrotic. In the exudative phase, there are interstitial and alveolar edemas with hyaline membrane. The fibroproliferative phase is characterized by exudate organization and fibroelastogenesi

34. Schistosoma mansoni heat shock protein 70 elicits an early humoral immune response in S. mansoni infected baboons
A study was undertaken to search for DNA recombinant Schistosoma mansoni proteins responsible for eliciting an antibody response from the host at a very early phase after infection. A S. mansoni adult worm cDNA expression library was screened using pooled sera from baboons with four weeks of infection. Based on their specific reactivity with the S. mansoni i

35. Lung clearance of 99mTc-DTPA in systemic lupus erythematosus
The early demonstration of lung involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients is a difficult but important task. In the present study we attempted to identify abnormalities in pulmonary clearance of 99mTc-DTPA in SLE, correlating their clearance data with clinical findings and disease activity. Forty-six consecutive SLE patients with and without

36. Immune and hormonal activity in adults suffering from depression
An association between depression and altered immune and hormonal systems has been suggested by the results of many studies. In the present study we carried out immune and hormonal measurements in 40 non-medicated, ambulatory adult patients with depression determined by CID-10 criteria and compared with 34 healthy nondepressed subjects. The severity of the c
