| an analysis of soft tissue allograft anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in a rabbit model: a short-term study of the use of mesenchymal stem cells to enhance tendon osteointegration. | soft tissue allografts are essential for revision and multiple ligament surgeries in the knee, where donor-site morbidity is an issue. however, the use of allografts is associated with a higher failure rate of osteointegration. mesenchymal stem cells (mscs) are investigated as potential agents to enhance bone tunnel and tendon healing. | 2007 | 17400750 |
| the human bone marrow response to acute air pollution caused by forest fires. | atmospheric pollution increases cardiopulmonary morbidity and mortality by unexplained mechanisms. phagocytosis of fine particles (pm(10)) by rabbit alveolar macrophages elevates white blood cells (wbc) by releasing precursors from the bone marrow and this could contribute to the pathogenesis of cardiopulmonary disease. the present study examined the association between acute air pollution caused by biomass burning and peripheral wbc counts in humans. serial measurements of the wbc count made du ... | 2000 | 10764314 |
| a preliminary survey on aflatoxin exposure in singapore. | aflatoxins (naturally occurring chemicals of fungal origin) are powerful liver carcinogens, and increased incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma has been observed in areas where exposure to this mycotoxin is high (e.g., africa, china). these areas also have a high incidence of hbv infection. it has been suggested that this environmental carcinogen interact with hbv in the aetiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma in these areas. the aim of this study was to determine the level of aflatoxin exposur ... | 1986 | 3092722 |
| influenza a neuraminidase antibodies in children and young adults studied by serum absorption. | a study is described of influenza a anti-neuraminidase antibodies in the sera of young people of three different groups. each serum was individually absorbed with viruses containing the n2 neuraminidases of 1957, 1968 and 1972. rabbit antisera prepared against the viruses were similarly absorbed. results obtained with the animal sera suggested that these neuraminidases were antigenically distinct, but the human sera had a broader range of anti-neuraminidase activity and gave indication of asymme ... | 1977 | 265343 |
