Treatment of T Lymphocytes with 8-Methoxypsoralen Plus Ultraviolet A Induces Transient but Biologically Active Th1-Skewing Cytokine Production [PDF]
8-Methoxypsoralen plus ultraviolet A light is suggested to shift T lymphocytes from Th2 to Th1 cells. To clarify this issue, we examined the effects of 8-methoxypsoralen/ultraviolet A on the expression/production of cytokines in peripheral blood ...

Design and integration of a parallel, soft robotic end-effector for extracorporeal ultrasound [PDF]
Objective: In this work we address limitations in state-of-the-art ultrasound robots by designing and integrating a novel soft robotic system for ultrasound imaging. It employs the inherent qualities of soft fluidic actuators to establish safe, adaptable interaction between ultrasound probe and patient.

Extracorporeal photochemotherapy:past-itorpromising? [PDF]
Extracorporeal photochemotherapy has been used for almost three decades for the treatment of several T-cell-mediated diseases, and its efficacy has been proven in few well-designed controlled randomized trials. However, to date, there are no reliable data on a hypothetic dose-effect, optimal rhythm of administration, drug interactions, or the ...

Sensitive Photodynamic Detection of Adult T-cell Leukemia/Lymphoma and Specific Leukemic Cell Death Induced by Photodynamic Therapy: Current Status in Hematopoietic Malignancies [PDF]
Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL), an aggressive type of T-cell malignancy, is caused by the human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) infections. The outcomes, following therapeutic interventions for ATL, have not been satisfactory.
