Upregulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 and vascular cell adhesion mo...
Vitoria,Webster Oliveira; Thomé,Letícia Silva; Kanashiro-Galo,Luciane; Carvalho,Leda Viegas de; Penny,Ricardo; Santos,Washington Luis ConradoAbstract INTRODUCTION: Dengue is an important mosquito-borne disease in tropical and subtropical regions. Adhesion molecules have not been systematically characterized in the renal tissue of patients with severe dengue (SD). The objective of this study was to detect viral antigens in samples from patients that evolved with SD, correlating with the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, VE-cadherin, and E-selectin to con...
Immunoelectron microscopy study of superficial skin nerves in drug-induced acut...
Criado,Paulo Ricardo; Criado,Roberta Fachini Jardim; Takakura,Cleusa F.H.; Pagliari,Carla; Sotto,Mirian Nacagami; Vasconcellos,CidiaBACKGROUND: Few studies have evaluated the ultrastructure of the superficial skin nerves in urticaria. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to describe findings in superficial skin nerves in cases of drug-induced acute urticaria. METHODS: Seven patients with drug-induced acute urticaria were included in the study. Skin biopsies were obtained from the urticarial lesion and from the apparently normal skin. ...
Immunohistochemical study of the cellular immune response in human Pneumocystis...
Castro,Leandro Mantovani de; Pagliari,Carla; Fernandes,Elaine Raniero; Brasil,Roosecelis Araújo; Duarte,Maria Irma SeixasOBJECTIVES: It has been experimentally demonstrated that host defense against Pneumocystis carinii depends on complex interactions within host immune response, mainly CD4 lymphocytes and alveolar macrophages. Since this is an important agent related to immunodeficiency, our purpose was to characterize the inflammatory immune response in lung from necropsy of AIDS patients. PROCEDURES: Twenty-five necropsies wit...
