Adenosine (Ado) exhibits a variety of anti-inflammatory activities, including inhibition of neutrophil oxygen radical production, adhesion to vascular endothelium and macrophage TNF-alpha gene expression. The therapeutic uses of Ado and its analogues, however, are limited by severe side effects like

## Abstract The irritancy of Nickel (Ni) ions has been well documented clinically. However, the chemical mediators involved in the acute inflammation induced by solid Ni are not fully understood. We used the Ni wireβimplantation model in mice and examined roles of prostaglandins and histamine in pl
## Abstract Summary: We describe here an approach for monitoring regulated gene expression by noninvasive imaging in living mice. We have utilized the tetracycline inducible system to simultaneously coregulate the expression of two genes encoding the firefly luciferase and the Cre recombinase, resp
