A screening of wild bird samples enhances our knowledge about the biodiversity of avian adenoviruses.

Wild birds are threatened by anthropic effects on a global scale, and their adenoviruses might contribute to their endangerment. Thus, it is important to reveal the real biodiversity of avian adenoviruses, as, unfortunately, this research topic is far from being prioritized. The turkey hemorrhagic enteritis is an economically important disease causing high mortalities, and its causative siadenoviral agent is only distantly related to other avian siadenoviruses in phylogenetic analyses.

[Management of antiplatelet therapy in acute coronary syndrome patients with thrombocytopenia].

Összefoglaló. Az akut coronaria szindrómán (ACS) átesett betegek kezelésének alappillére a kettős (aszpirin + klopidogrél ) thrombocytaaggregáció-gátló kezelés. Az immunthrombocytopeniás purpurás (ITP-s) betegek - és különösen azok, akik refrakter ITP miatt thrombopoetinanalóg kezelésben részesülnek - külön elbírálást igényelnek.

Protective effects of meat from lambs on selenium nanoparticle supplemented diet in a mouse model of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-induced immunotoxicity.

Increased environmental oxidative stress caused primarily by chemicals like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, plays significant role in human diseases. A representative compound, 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA), was used for modeling oxidative damages including the significant decrease of the antioxidant capacity of the blood. Selenium has antioxidant effects but with a narrow therapeutic window.

P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 deficiency augments G-CSF induced myeloid cell mobilization.

The effect of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) was investigated in P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 (PSGL-1) deficient (PSGL-1(-/-)) and wild-type (PSGL-1(+/+)) mice to establish the role of this mucin in myeloid cell mobilization. G-CSF activates tissue proteases that cleave adhesion molecules, thus enhances the mobilization of myeloid cells and haematopoietic stem cells. Cytopenia was induced with a single dose of cyclophosphamide.
