1. Circulation levels of acute phase proteins pentraxin 3 and serum amyloid A in atherosclerosis have correlations with periodontal inflamed surface area
Abstract Objectives One of the plausible mechanisms in the relationship between periodontitis and coronary artery disease (CAD) is the systemic inflammatory burden comprised of circulating cytokines/mediators related to periodontitis. This study aims to test the hypothesis that periodontal inflamed surface area (PISA) is correlated with higher circulating l

2. Attenuation of partial unilateral ureteral obstruction – induced renal damage with hyperbaric oxygen therapy in a rat model
ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of HBO therapy on biochemical parameters, renal morphology and renal scintigraphy in rats undergoing chronic unilateral partial ureteral obstruction (UPUO). Material and methods: Thirty-five rats were divided into five equal groups: Control group; Sham group; HBO group

3. The relationship between circulating irisin, retinol binding protein-4, adiponectin and inflammatory mediators in patients with metabolic syndrome
ABSTRACT Objective We wanted to investigate whether there is a relationship between circulating irisin, retinol binding protein-4 (RBP-4), adiponectin and proinflammatory mediators implicated in the development of insulin resistance (IR) in metabolic syndrome (MetS). Subjects and methods In 180 individuals, including controls and patients with MetS, we m

4. Envolvimento da pentraxina 3 (PTX3) na patogÃnese da cistite hemorrÃgica induzida por ifosfamida em camundongos / Involvement of pentraxin 3 (PTX3) in the patogenesis of hemorrhagic cystitis induced by iphosphamide in mice
A cistite hemorrÃgica (CH) à um fenÃmeno inflamatÃrio frequentemente associado à quimioterapia com oxazafosforinas. Trata-se de uma resposta inflamatÃria inata à aÃÃo da AcroleÃna (ACR), metabÃlito hepÃtico comum à Ifosfamida (IFO) e à ciclofosfamida (CTX). O papel da resposta ao recrutamento de receptores toll-like (TLR) e do estÃmulo por TNF

5. The effect of the adenosine deaminase inhibitor, EHNA, on Clostridium difficile toxin-A-induced enteritis in murine ileal loops / Estudo do efeito do inibidor da enzima adenosina desaminase, EHNA, sobre a enterite induzida pela toxina a do Clostridium difficile em alÃa ileal isolada de camundongos
O Clostridium difficile tem como principal fator de virulÃncia a toxina A (TxA), a qual provoca inflamaÃÃo e destruiÃÃo tecidual aguda em intestinos de animais experimentais e de pacientes com a doenÃa induzida por esta bactÃria. Em locais de injÃria tecidual, adenosina à produzida em altas concentraÃÃes, onde exerce uma sÃrie de efeitos antiinfl

6. Expression of a long pentraxin, PTX3, by monocytes exposed to the mycobacterial cell wall component lipoarabinomannan.
PTX3 is a prototypic long pentraxin composed of a C-terminal domain similar to those of classical pentraxins (e.g., C reactive protein) and an unrelated N-terminal portion. PTX3 is expressed in a variety of cell types, notably mononuclear phagocytes and endothelial cells, after exposure to the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and tumor nec

7. Anti-Aspergillus fumigatus Efficacy of Pentraxin 3 Alone and in Combination with Antifungals
The collectin pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is an essential component of host resistance to pulmonary aspergillosis. Here we examined the protective effects of administration of PTX3 alone or together with deoxycholate amphotericin B (Fungizone) or liposomal amphotericin B (AmBisome) against invasive aspergillosis in a murine model of allogeneic bone marrow transplanta

8. Identification of Novel MyoD Gene Targets in Proliferating Myogenic Stem Cells
A major control point for skeletal myogenesis revolves around the muscle basic helix-loop-helix gene family that includes MyoD, Myf-5, myogenin, and MRF4. Myogenin and MRF4 are thought to be essential to terminal differentiation events, whereas MyoD and Myf-5 are critical to establishing the myogenic cell lineage and producing committed, undifferentiated myo

9. Protein disulphide isomerase family members show distinct substrate specificity: P5 is targeted to BiP client proteins
At least 17 members of the protein disulphide isomerase (PDI) family of oxidoreductases are present in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of mammalian cells. They are thought to catalyse disulphide formation to aid folding or to regulate protein function; however, little is known about their individual functions. Here, we show that some proteins that enter t
