Olfactory function in dialysis patients: a potential key to understanding the uremic state.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Antineutrophil cytoplasm antibodies (ANCAs) are implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic vasculitis. We asked whether ANCA could induce nitric oxide (NO) release from human neutrophils and, if so, whether this NO production was dependent on NO synthase (NOS) activity. METHODS:Neutrophil NO production was ...

abstract：BACKGROUND:Renal inflammation is regulated by a network of local and systemic mediators. Of them, transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta 1) and glucocorticoids play an important role in deactivating monocytes/macrophages. We examined the hypothesis that TGF-beta 1 effects may be partially achieved through modulatio...
