(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] In an experimental model of feline asthma, computed tomography (CT) and ventilator-acquired pulmonary mechanics were used in the assessment of various ...
Longitudinal evaluation of effects of adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in a model of feline allergic asthma
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Asthma is characterized by airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), and structural changes in the lungs. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) ...

Use of cyproheptadine, a serotonin antagonist, and cetirizine a selective histamine (H1) antagonist, in feline asthma has not been previously described. We tested the hypotheses 1) 5 mg of oral cetirizine would be adequately ...
The antiendotoxin effects of polymyxin B in a feline model of endotoxemia
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Introduction: Directed, effective therapies for feline sepsis are needed to reduce the high morbidity and mortality associated with this disease. Materials and Methods: We investigated the anti-endotoxin effects of PMB in ...
Canine T-regulatory cells in aging and cancer : quantifying a unique T cell subset
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
T regulatory lymphocytes (Tregs), identified by the markers CD4, CD25, and FoxP3, are an essential part of the immune system and promote tolerance with the purpose of minimizing auto-immune disease. However, if Tregs are ...
