The antibody production stimulating activity of BM cells from SRBC-tolerant and normal rats were studied. Tolerance was induced by repeated injections of SRBC which were begun within 24 h after birth. BM cells obtained from tolerant animals 14-24 days after the last SRBC injection or from normal rats of the same age were used. LN cells from mice immunized with SRBC or BRBC served for the detection of BM activity. Four days after the second injection of antigen, LN cells were removed and cultivated alone or with BM cells from tolerant or control rats for 16 h. After cultivation, immune reaction was estimated by enumeration of indirect PFC. BM cells from SRBC-tolerant rats increased the number of SRBC PFC in the culture more than BM cells from control rats. On the other hand, the stimulatory activity of the BM cells from SRBC-tolerant animals for the BRBC-PFC was lower than that of normal BM cells or it was completely absent. The implications of these findings for the mechanism of the stimulating BM activity are discussed.

Background: Arteriovenous (AV) fistulas are the preferred access for dialysis but have a high incidence of failure. This study aims to understand the crosstalk between skeletal muscle catabolism and AV fistula maturation failure.
Methods: Skeletal muscle metabolism and AV fistula maturation were evaluated in mice with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Neuropathic pain, a prevalent complication following spinal cord injury (SCI), severely impairs the life quality of patients. No ideal treatment exists due to incomplete knowledge on underlying neural processes. To explore the SCI-induced effect on nociceptive circuits, the protein expression of c-Fos was analyzed as an indicator of neuronal activation in a rat contusion model exhibiting below-level pain.

In response to the changing intertidal environment, intertidal macroalgae have evolved complicated Ci utilization mechanisms. However, our knowledge regarding the CO concentrating mechanism (CCM) of macroalgae is limited. Carbonic anhydrase (CA), a key component of CCM, plays essential roles in many physiological reactions in various organisms.

Background: The objective was to investigate if cryoneurolysis were superior to sham in reducing pain intensity in patients with chronic knee osteoarthritis. We hypothesized that cryoneurolysis was an effective and safe therapy to reduce chronic pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
Methods: The study was a randomized, double-blind, sham-controlled.

causes the genital ulcer disease chancroid and cutaneous ulcers in children. To study its pathogenesis, we developed a human challenge model in which we infect the skin on the upper arm of human volunteers with to the pustular stage of disease. The model has been used to define lesional architecture, describe the immune infiltrate into the infected sites using flow cytometry, and explore the molecular basis of the immune response using bulk RNA-seq.
