Non-specific aortic arteritis (Takayasu's disease) : the Cape Town experience
Non-specific aortic arteritis remains a disease of unknown aetiology, in which the treatment is empiric, the indications for surgery controversial and the prognosis unpredictable. Most series emanate from the Far East, with few contributions from Africa. The pattern of disease as seen in-Cape Town …

Vascular Endothelin and Angiotensin Receptors Regulation in Inflammatory Arterial Disorders
… (IHD). In addition, patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) were also investigated because of the massive inflammatory activity in affected vessels. For functional studies of the resistance arteries, sensitive myographs were used. Receptor protein levels were measured quantitatively using …

Coronary Artery Outcome in Kawasaki Disease: The Role of Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 and Therapeutic Modulation of Its Activity
… casei cell wall extract-induced coronary arteritis, the processes leading to coronary aneurysm formation were examined. Vessel damage occurred as a result of the increased enzymatic activity of the elastase, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9. MMP-9 protein and activity levels were elevated …

STRUCTURAL STUDY OF HUMAN CATENIN ΒETA-LIKE PROTEIN 1 AND DOUBLE RNA PSEUDOKNOTS IN -1 RIBOSOMAL FRAMESHIFTING
… virus (BFV), Fort Morgan virus (FMV), and Equine arteritis virus (EAV). We built structural models of the HIV-1 and EAV double pseudoknots to show that both the tandem and embedded mode of double pseudoknots are feasible and reasonable. We hypothesize that the fundamental reason for the viruses to …

Molecular bases for modulation of host cellular responses by porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus non-structural protein 11
… not essential for viral replication in equine arteritis virus (EAV), suggesting that Nsp11 may target cellular RNAs and thus may function to counteract the host’s antiviral response. By luciferase reporter assays, PRRSV Nsp11 was shown to have potent inhibition of IFN-β, IRF3, and NF-κB …

Untersuchungen zur differenzialdiagnostischen Bedeutung des IgG-Index und Albuminquotienten bei neurologisch erkrankten Hunden
… distemper, steroid responsive meningitis arteritis, and plexus carcinoma. On the other side, dogs with increased CSF total protein had a 97% chance of increased IgG index or albumin quotient. 67% of the dogs with inflammatory diseases showed an increase in IgG index and 70% an increase in …

Pharmacokinetics of a novel cytosine arabinoside subcutaneous protocol in dogs with meningoencephalomyelitis of unknown etiology
… leukoencephalitis, steroid responsive meningitis arteritis, eosinophilic meningoencephalomyelitis, and greyhounds non-suppurative meningoencephalitis. The etiology of MUE remains unknown, but it is suspected to have an autoimmune pathogenesis. Emerging research points to genetic and environmental …

Studies on the Epidemiology and Outcome of Primary Systemic Vasculitis
… (MPA), Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) and polyarteritis nodosa (PAN)] are rare systemic diseases of unknown etiology; if untreated, they are associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Changes in the classification and diagnostic improvements during the last decades have increased …
