Aging and eliciting agents: Effect on murine peritoneal macrophage monokine bioactivity
(Elsevier, 1993)
Decreased responsiveness of the aged to infection may be associated with a decline in monokine production. Prior studies in macrophages have used different eliciting agents, and results have varied. We assessed the effect ...
Mycobacterium kansasii septic arthritis in a patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1993-11)
No Abstract.
Phenotypic and functional similarities between 5-azacytidine-treated t cells and a t cell subset in patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1992-06)
Objective. Antigen-specific CD4+ T cells treated with DNA methylation inhibitors become autoreactive, suggesting a novel mechanism for autoimmunity. To test whether this mechanism might be involved in systemic lupus ...
Racial differences in scleroderma among women in Michigan
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1997-04)
Objective. To examine racial differences in disease onset, extent, manifestations, and survival among women with scleroderma. Methods. A retrospective cohort study of women with scleroderma, diagnosed in Michigan between ...
Aging and the response to salmonella infection
(Elsevier, 1990)
We investigated the effect of age on the ability of Fischer 344 rats to mount a febrile response and contain infection due to Salmonella typhimurium. Elderly (22-23 month), middle-aged (12-13 month) and young (2-3 month) ...
Immunochemical methods of studying the mechanism of diclofenac-induced hepatitis
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1994-10)
No Abstract.
Connective tissue activation. xxxvi. the origin, variety, distribution, and biologic fate of connective tissue activating peptide–iii isoforms: characteristics in patients with rheumatic, renal, and arterial disease
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1993-09)
Objective. To determine the origin, distribution, and biologic fate of platelet-derived connective tissue activating peptide–III (CTAP-III), to define the relative amounts of the antigen forms (CTAP-III, betathromboglobulin ...
Defective CD2 pathway T cell activation in systemic lupus erythematosus
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1991-05)
CD2 (T11; sheep erythrocyte receptor) is the surface component of an alternative, antigen-independent pathway of human T cell activation. The response to certain anti-CD2 antibodies is relatively independent of accessory ...
Evidence for impaired t cell dna methylation in systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1990-11)
Procainamide and hydralazine inhibit T cell DNA methylation and induce autoreactivity in cloned CD4+ T cells. These drugs also induce an autoimmune syndrome, suggesting a possible relationship between DNA hypomethylation, ...
Patterns and Determinants of Health Services Use and Mortality after VA Nursing Home Care
(Sage Publications, 1996)
Risk factors for institutionalization and death for up to four years for a nationwide cohort (n = 6,488) of males discharged alive from Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) nursing homes were identified through linked ...
