1.Immune support from mother to infant
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2003;0(4):2-6
The child needs time to develop his own immune system and to have specific immune responds. Thus the child needs his mother's support to have immediate protection against bacteria from mother's gastrointestinal tract that infected the baby and have longer protection during his development of immune system. This immune supporting of mother for her baby was conducted thru placenta and breast milk. The immune supporting thru breast milk was directly and indirectly by indirect transmitting of resistance for baby thru breast milk, direct stimulating of baby immune system, and preventing some immune diseases

As far as we are aware of, we report the fi rst documented case of a 51-year-old Filipino female with
multifocal motor neuropathy who presented with
asymmetric weakness, unusually in the lower extremity, and confi rmed with anti-GM1 antibody.
The treatment of intravenous immunoglobulin with
a total dose of 2 g/kg was initiated and repeated every two months with noticeable improvement
based on electromyography and nerve conduction
studies.
Apart from the unreported Filipino case of multifocal motor neuropathy substantiated by features
in clinical, electrophysiologic, antibody testing and
response to immunotherapy, the unique occurrence
in a female and involving the lower extremity in this
rare disorder deserve this present documentation.
Multifocal motor neuropathy is seen more in males
with a ratio of 2.7:1. It is described as a pure motor
disease without sensory defi cits and predominantly
affects the upper extremities. The diagnosis for the
disorder is supported by determination of ganglioside GM1 antibodies.

As a nanotechnology has been actively applied to the overall areas of scientific fields, it is necessary to understand the characteristic features, physical behaviors and the potential effects of exposure to nanomaterials and their toxicity. In this article we review the immunological influences induced by several nanomaterials and emphasize establishment of the animal models to estimate the impact of these nanomaterials on development of immunological diseases.

I'tikaaf is a worship maintained by very deep hunger in fasting month of Ramadan. Hunger causes different results on the immune system. This is a prospective study. In this study, the changes in the immune system were investigated during the period of the i’tikaf, which is deep hunger worship. In the last 10 days of Ramadan, before and at the end of i’tikaf blood was taken from 46 male volunteers who performed i’tikaf worship and various biochemical and immunological parameters were examined. Comparison of the measures taken before and after i’tikaf indicated a statistically significant decrease in weight, BMI, waist circumference and hip circumference (p<0.001). Of the hematologic parameters, the lymphocyte count increased significantly (p=0.009). Also, a significant increase was observed in the values of IgA, IgM ve Ig G within the hematological parameters (p<0.001). During the period of i’tikaf, feeding with very low calories (1000 calories) caused an increase in the levels of lymphocyte and immunoglobulins and got the immune system stronger.

8.The Cytokines: An Overview.
Yeungnam University Journal of Medicine 2010;27(1):1-7
Having an understanding of the properties of cytokines is essential for the immunologist, the researcher and the medical practitioner who need to understand immunologic diseases and immunological therapeutic approaches. Cytokines are redundant in their actions on target cells and promiscuous in their receptor reactions. (ED note: That is some cool use of English!) Moreover, many cells concomitantly produce several cytokines that have overlapping actions. Here this review provides conceptual framework to understand the intriguing aspects of the cytokine system.

10.Study on immune response caused by a National Standard Rabies Vaccine candidate produced in Viet Nam
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):21-22
40 out of 50 subjects bitten by dog/cat were injected completely 4- 6 doses of rabies vaccine. Using ELISA, the authors found that 42.5% of serum samples that taken after injecting 4 doses of rabies vaccine had antibody titer 0.5IU/ml, met the WHO’s minimum requirement. The GMT was 2.71IU/ml. 62.5% of serum samples taken after injecting 6 doses of rabies vaccine had antibody titer 0.5IU/ml. The GMT was 3.14EU/ml
