Does beta-estradiol suppress T cell-mediated delayed-type hypersensitivity through suppression of antigen-presenting cell function and Th1 induction?
Our results suggest that the E2-mediated inhibition of DTH reaction is due to a combination of the down regulation of APC function and deviation of the immune response from Th1-type to Th2-type.
The extent of QRS fragmentation is superior to QRS duration in predicting mortality in adult patients with TOF and may be used in risk stratification.
