Mast cells in the kidney biopsies of pediatric patients with lupus nephritis

J. bras. nefrol; 42 (1), 2020
ABSTRACT Introduction: Mast cells may be involved in inflammation and contribute to the onset of fibrosis in lupus nephritis (LN). Objective: This study aimed to correlate the presence of mast cells in kidney biopsy specimens of pediatric patients with LN with activity (AI) and chronicity (CI) indice...

Although with intact mucosa at colonoscopy, chagasic megacolons have an overexpression of Gal-3

ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the density of anti-galectin-3-immunostained cells, collagen percentage, mast cell density and presence of pathological processes in intestinal muscle biopsies of patients. Methods Thirty-five patients who underwent intestinal biopsy were selected from 1997 to 2015. Patie...

Neutrophils, eosinophils, and mast cells in the intestinal wall of dogs naturally infected with Leishmania infantum

Abstract Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a disease caused by the protozoa Leishmania infantum and can cause an inflammatory reaction in the gastrointestinal tract, however the role of granulocytic cells (neutrophils, eosinophils, and mast cells) in the intestine of dogs infected is not fully understood. ...

Prevention of rocuronium induced mast cell activation with prophylactic oleuropein rich diet in anesthetized rabbits

Acta cir. bras; 33 (11), 2018
Abstract Purpose: The effect of a prophylactic oleuropein-rich diet before anesthesia accompanied by the widely-used steroid-based neuromuscular drug rocuronium on mast cell activation was investigated in the study. Methods: 14 rabbits used in the study. The rabbits in the oleuropein group were given ...

Density of mast cells and intensity of pruritus in psoriasis vulgaris: a cross sectional study

An. bras. dermatol; 93 (3), 2018
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Psoriasis is a chronic and prevalent disease, and the associated pruritus is a common, difficult-to-control symptom.

Mastócitos discriminam esofagite eosinofílica em pacientes pediátricos

Arq. gastroenterol; 54 (3), 2017
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Mast cells exert a substantial role in gastrointestinal allergic diseases. Therefore, it is reasonable to presume that mast cell may aid diagnosis in eosinophilic gastroenteropathy. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether mast cell count in the esophageal epithelium can discriminate eosinop...

Changes in mast cell infiltration: a possible mechanism in detrusor overactivity induced by visceral hypersensitivity

Int. braz. j. urol; 42 (2), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective: To establish the detrusor overactivity (DO) model induced by visceral hypersensitivity (VH) and investigate the relationship between mast cell (MC) infiltration and DO. Materials and Methods: Sixty rats are divided into 4 groups randomly: Group 1:Baseline group; Group 2: DO group; G...
