Altered expression of circadian clock gene, mPer1, in mouse brain and kidney under morphine dependence and withdrawal
Wang, Xiaojia; Wang, Yueqi; Xin, Haoyang; Liu, Yanyou; Wang, Yuhui; Zheng, Hang; Jiang, Zhou; Wan, Chaomin; Wang, Zhengrong; Ding, Jian (East Carolina University, 2006-08-22)Every physiological function in the human body exhibits some form of circadian rhythmicity. Under pathological conditions, however, circadian rhythmicity may be dusrupted. Patients infected with HIV or addicted to drugs ... -
Circadian activation of mast cells mediates the nocturnal response in allergic asthma
Wang, Xiaojia (East Carolina University, 2010)Circadian rhythm is a conserved physiological feature of most organisms. Nocturnal symptoms are a common feature of allergic asthma in humans. Patients with nocturnal asthma show circadian variation of their pulmonary ... -
Expansion of cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury after instillation of three forms of multi-walled carbon nanotubes
Urankar, Rakhee N.; Lust, Robert M.; Mann, Erin; Katwa, Pranita; Wang, Xiaojia; Podila, Ramakrishna; Hilderbrand, Susana C.; Harrison, Benjamin S.; Chen, Pengyu; Ke, Pu Chun; Rao, Apparao M.; Brown, Jared; Wingard, Christopher J. (2012)Background The exceptional physical-chemical properties of carbon nanotubes have lead to their use in diverse commercial and biomedical applications. However, their utilization has raised concerns about human exposure ... -
Intravenously delivered graphene nanosheets and multiwalled carbon nanotubes induce site-specific Th2 inflammatory responses via the IL-33/ST2 axis
Wang, Xiaojia; Podila, Ramakrishna; Shannahan, Jonathan H.; Rao, Apparao M.; Brown, Jared (2013)Carbon-based nanomaterials (CBN), such as graphene nanosheets (GNS) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), have been proposed for potential nanomedicine applications such as biomedical devices and carriers for drug ... -
Multi-walled carbon nanotube instillation impairs pulmonary function in C57BL/6 mice
Wang, Xiaojia; Katwa, Pranita; Podila, Ramakrishna; Chen, Pengyu; Ke, Pu Chun; Rao, Apparao M.; Walters, Dianne M.; Wingard, Christopher J.; Brown, Jared (2011)Background Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are widely used in many disciplines due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Therefore, some concerns about the possible human health and environmental ...
