Journal ArticleDOI
Zinc and small babies.
N. J. Meadows,M.F. Smith,P. W. N. Keeling,W. Ruse,J. Day,J.W. Scopes,R. P. H. Thompson,D.L. Bloxam +7 more
TL;DR: The content of zinc in peripheral-blood leucocytes decreased from the second trimester of normal pregnancy, but was significantly lower in mothers giving birth to babies who were small for gestational age than in mothers with either normal or small, but appropriate for gestations, preterm babies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scleroderma and Primary Biliary Cirrhosis
TL;DR: Two cases of scleroderma and primary biliary cirrhosis are described and it is suggested that the association may be due to a common “autoimmune” process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterisation of inorganic microparticles in pigment cells of human gut associated lymphoid tissue
Jonathan J. Powell,C. C. Ainley,R. S. J. Harvey,I. M. Mason,M. D. Kendall,E. A. Sankey,A. P. Dhillon,R. P. H. Thompson +7 more
TL;DR: Observations suggest that the pathogenicity of this pigment should be further investigated since, in susceptible individuals, the same intracellular distribution of these three types of submicron particle causes chronic latent granulomatous inflammation.
Journal Article
Interleukin 1 in Crohn's disease.
TL;DR: Enhanced production of LAF in vitro may reflect a primary cellular defect in Crohn's disease, or a secondary consequence of monocyte activation, according to the mouse thymocyte stimulation assay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immune potentiation of ultrafine dietary particles in normal subjects and patients with inflammatory bowel disease
Jonathan J. Powell,R. S. J. Harvey,Paul Ashwood,R. Wolstencroft,M. E. Gershwin,R. P. H. Thompson +5 more
TL;DR: The data demonstrate that ultrafine dietary particles are not immunologically inert and may be important adjuncts in overcoming normal gut cell hyporesponsiveness to endogenous luminal molecules, particularly relevant to patients with inflammatory bowel disease where there is abnormal intestinal permeability.
