In this article, the authors discuss 9-hydroxymethyl-10-carbamoyl acridan (9-OH-CBZ), another metabolite of carbamazepine (CBZ) found in serum. The retention time of unconjugated 9-OH-CBZ should be known when using a chromatographic method, because it appears in concentrations varying from one eighth to one third of the CBZ-10,11-epoxide (CBZ-E) concentration and may therefore cause analytical interactions. Liquid chromatography/electrospray mass spectrometry ((LC/ES-MS) in a serum extract identified and confirmed 9-OH-CBZ. The amount of 9-OH-CBZ present as conjugate in serum was between 42% and 65%. The correlation factor values (r) between serum concentrations of 9-OH-CBZ and 10,11-dihydro-10,11-trans-dihydroxy-CBZ (trans-CBZ-diol), CBZ-E, and CBZ in 100 serum samples were 0.77, 0.80, and 0.53, respectively. The origin of 9-OH-CBZ is discussed.

To further evaluate the effects of lymphocyte immunotherapy (LIT) for the treatment of RPL patients this study aimed to utilize this type of treatment in RPL patients with positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in comparison to ANA-negative RPL women. To this aim, 84 ANA-positive, 114 ANA negative, and 50 healthy pregnant women were recruited. To examine the frequency of cells before and after LIT, flowcytometry technique was employed.

Background: C-type lectin (CTL) plays an important act in parasite adhesion, host's cell invasion and immune escape. Our previous studies showed that recombinant Trichinella spiralis C-type lectin (rTsCTL) mediated larval invasion of enteral mucosal epithelium. The aim of this study was to investigate protective immunity produced by vaccination with rTsCTL and its effect on gut epithelial barrier function in a mouse model.

Diphtheria, a severe respiratory infection, was a major killer of children until the early years of the 20th century. Although diphtheria is now largely controlled globally thanks to vaccination, it is still endemic in some world regions and large epidemics can occur where vaccination coverage is insufficient. The pathological effects caused by its main virulence factor, diphtheria toxin, can be diminished by passive transfer of antibodies.

Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a common and severe form of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Objectives: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum nitric oxide (NO) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels with the severity of STEMI and their predictive value for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within one year after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in STEMI patients.
Methods: The retrospective study was conducted on 269 STEMI patients who underwent PCI.
