Genital tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of infertility in the world, notably in developing countries, but its incidence is increasing in the western continents. In vitro fertilization (IVF) represents a useful treatment of infertility after TB. We report the first case of congenital TB after IVF and suggest improvement of usual screening before and after IVF.

    Background. Over expression of Programmed death-1 (PD-1) receptor is thought to inhibit effector T cell response in human tuberculosis. However, the precise mechanism of such inhibition remains unclear. The present study aimed at addressing the role of PD-1 in dampening host T cell...

    Treatment with the derivative 118 dramatically increased the survival rate of murine allogeneic skin grafts. Flow cytometric analysis and H&E staining showed that the derivative significantly decreased inflammatory cell infiltration into the grafts. The levels of the chemokines CXCL1, CXCL2, CCL7 and...

    We hypothesized that the antioxidant and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2; prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2) inhibitory components of CV can protect the kidneys from CDPP nephrotoxicity in rats. CDPP (6.5 mg/kg, intraperitoneally) slightly elevated serum creatinine (Crea) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN)...
