Does thermal injury induce greater resistance to d-tubocurarine in local rather than in distant muscles in the rat?
The resistance to d-tubocurarine after a burn differs between muscles near and distant from the burn and seems to depend on quantitative and qualitative changes in acetylcholine receptors and muscle atrophy associated with the insult.
Our data indicated that treatment with CpG-ODN inhibited the HepG2 cells-mediated Jurkat cell apoptosis by modulating the Fas/FasL pathway. Apparently, CpG-ODN treatment may be a potential therapeutic reagent for HCC.
