3. Anti-inflammatory effects of intravenous methotrexate associated with lipid nanoemulsions on antigen-induced arthritis
OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that intravenous use of methotrexate associated with lipid nanoemulsions can achieve superior anti-inflammatory effects in the joints of rabbits with antigen-induced arthritis compared with commercial methotrexate. METHODS: Arthritis was induced in New Zealand rabbits sensitized with methylated bovine serum albumin and sub

4. Hematological particularities and co-infections in injected drug users with AIDS
HIV patients infected through injected drug use have poorer prognosis than other groups. We evaluated the hematological alterations and rates of co-infections in injected drug use patients with AIDS. Injected drug use patients were younger, predominantly of male gender, and presented lower CD4, total lymphocyte, and platelet counts, but not neutrophil count,

5. A Microtus fortisprotein, serum albumin, is a novel inhibitor of Schistosoma japonicumschistosomula
Schistosomiasis is an endemic parasite disease and praziquantel is the only drug currently in use to control this disease. Experimental and epidemiological evidence strongly suggests that Microtus fortis( Mf) is a naturally resistant vertebrate host of Schistosoma japonicum. In the present study, we found that Mfserum albumin ( Mf-albumin) and the conditione

9. Efeito do tratamento anti-inflamatÃrio na histologia endometrial, produÃÃo de prostaglandina e taxa de gestaÃÃo apÃs transferÃncia de embriÃes e/ou manipulaÃÃo cervical em Ãguas / Efeito do tratamento anti-inflamatÃrio na histologia endometrial, produÃÃo de prostaglandina e taxa de gestaÃÃo apÃs transferÃncia de embriÃes e/ou manipulaÃÃo cervical em Ãguas / Effect of anti inflammatory treatment in endometrial histology, prostaglandin production and pregnancy rates after embryo transfer and/or cervical manipulation in mares / Effect of anti inflammatory treatment in endometrial histology, prostaglandin production and pregnancy rates after embryo transfer and/or cervical manipulation in mares
Embryo transfer is currently the main breeding tool in equine reproduction. However it is still necessary to improve pregnancy to lower its costs.Among many factors that influence ET results, recipient mare management should be underlined. Currently the method utilized is non surgical transcervical transfer. Equine ET professionals observed that the less cer

11. Clinical and epidemiological features of patients with chronic hepatitis C co-infected with HIV
Co-infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is increasingly common and affects the clinical course of chronic hepatitis C. Highly active antiretroviral therapy has improved the life expectancy of HIV infected patients, but, by extending survival, it permits the development of HCV cirrhosis. This study tried to evaluate cl

12. Hypoglycemic activity of polysaccharide fractions containing ß-glucans from extracts of Rhynchelytrum repens (Willd.) C.E. Hubb., Poaceae
ß-Glucans are soluble fibers with physiological functions, such as interference with absorption of sugars and reduction of serum lipid levels. The objective of the present study was to analyze the distribution of ß-glucans in different tissues of the African grass species Rhynchelytrum repens and also to evaluate their hypoglycemic activity.
