Potentiation of rifampicin and 5-fluorocytosine as antifungal antibiotics by amphotericin B (yeast-membrane permeability-ribosomal RNA-eukaryotic cell-synergism).

Amphotericin B potentiates the antifungal effects of 5-fluorocytosine and rifampicin, probably by increasing the penetration of these agents through the fungal cytoplasmic membrane.

    We determined the effects on endothelial monolayer permeability of acute agonists (thrombin and histamine), cytokines (tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), IL-1 and IL-4) and combinations of acute agonists and cytokines. Addition of thrombin in concentrations rangi...

    Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) involves complex interactions amongst viral and bacterial pathogens that can lead to intense pulmonary inflammation (fibrinous pleuropneumonia). Viral infection greatly increases the susceptibility of cattle to secondary infection of the lung with bacterial pathogens...

    VEGF alone is twice as potent in interrupting tight junctions in an endothelial cell monolayer as Ang-2. However, both growth factors acting together increase permeability three times as much as VEGF alone. Treatments designed to reduce vascular permeability in diabetic macular oedema should conside...
