Abnormal wear of cobalt-containing metal-on-metal joints is associated with inflammatory pseudotumours. Cobalt ions activate human toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), which normally responds to bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in sepsis. Activation of TLR4 by LPS increases the expression of chemokines IL-8 and

The stimulation of the retrosplenial cortex (RSC) is antinociceptive in the rat tail-flick and formalin tests. The rat RSC is caudal to and send projections to the ipsilateral anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which is also involved in pain processing. This

Recently, we found that albumin overload induces expression of the transcription factor hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) protein and several HIF-1 target genes in human renal proximal tubular epithelial cell line HK-2. In this study, the role of albumin-bound fatty acids in
The present study delineates the synthesis and characterization of cobalt doped proangiogenic-osteogenic hydroxyapatite. Hydroxyapatite samples, doped with varying concentrations of bivalent cobalt (Co(2+)) were prepared by the ammoniacal precipitation method and the extent of doping was measured by ICP-OES. The
