Purpose:Bortezomib has been used in the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. This study is to examine whether sub-lethal doses of bortezomib (Borsub) attenuate angiogenesis in a choroidal neovascularization murine model. Methods:Laser photocoagulation was used to create choroidal neovascularization in mice. The volume of angiogenesis was assessed with isolectin GS-IB4 labeling in choroidal flat-mount. The content of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the supernatants of…

the bacteria found in plaque, will start an inflammatory reaction that will increase the blood flow to the gingiva producing the tissue to become red, swollen, and soft.

This means that as soon as the agent that is responsible of the inflammation is removed, the gingiva returns to its normal color, consistency and contour (Pink, firm, and scalloped). In case the gingivitis is induced by plaque, the modifying…

lungs aptitude to function efficiently. The second stage pertains red hepatization, “the dilation of the capillaries, and alveoli are filled with organisms, neutrophils, red blood cells (RBCs), and fibrin” (Lewis et al., 2014, p.663), inducing vast inflammation, provoking the third stage, grey hepatization, in which there’s reduced blood flow. The last stage is the resolution phase, where the issue is resolved or heightened by further complications as explained by Lewis et al. (2014). A.D’s…
