The accumulation of abnormalities that limit body functions is a major risk factor for patients with functional disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP), Painful Bladder Syndrome (PBS) and others. Often, functional disorders co-morbid by … …International Journal of Research in Nursing, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 21 Jun 2017 · 6,992 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEvaluation of Mast Cell Distribution in Oral Lichen Planus and Lichenoid Lesions by Immunohistochemical and Histochemical AnalysisMahi Balci, Mustafa Emre ErcinThe histopathological assessment of Oral Lichen Planus (OLP) and oral lichenoid lesions is relatively subjective. The distinguishing criteria established by WHO effectively reproducible when all selection criteria were fulfilling but sometimes fail to provide a reliable diagnosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate mast cell counts and their distribution among OLP and lichenoid lesions. The density and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 11 Dec 2016 · 7,791 accessesView PDFCite

The results here reported are consistent with current knowledge concerning the biological and clinical effects of … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 4 · 21 Nov 2016 · 11,934 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRole of Cytokines and Transcription Factors in Periodontitis: A Review of Cellular and Molecular MechanismsAnne Carolina Eleutério Leite, Valéria Martins de Araújo Carneiro, Júlia Faria Nunes et al.Periodontal Diseases (PD) are characterized by pathological manifestation of host immune response to bacterial infection at the tooth/gingival interface. Evidences points periodontitis as a risk factor for pathological systemic conditions, such as, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. The identification of host factors that determine their susceptibility to immune subversion can provide useful information in the pathogenesis of periodontitis. Protective acute inflammatory … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 9 Dec 2015 · 7,807 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFactors Those Up Regulate Klotho and Glutathione Peroxidase-1 Gene Expression Improve Renal Function in Rats with Acute Renal FailureFatma E. El-Gendey, Shabaan A. Hemeda, Gamal A. Sosa, Naglaa F. AlhusseiniAcute Renal Failure (ARF) has traditionally been defined as the abrupt and progressive loss of kidney functions resulting in the retention of urea and other nitrogenous waste products associated with interstitial inflammation, tubular injury and increasing Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF). Mortality in patients with ARF remains high >50% in severely ill patients. Klotho gene is a new anti-aging gene.

Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTransient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 Involvement in Animal Pain PerceptionCristina Vercelli, R. Barbero, G. ReIn last decades, Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) has been the target of a large number of scientific investigations. It has been identified as a polymodal transducer molecule on a sub-set of primary sensory neurons which responds to various endogenous and exogenous stimuli including noxious heat (more than 42°C), protons and vanilloids such as capsaicin, the hot ingredient of … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2015 · 7,266 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImmunomodulatory and Antioxidant Properties of Kaurenoic Acid on Macrophages of BALB/c in VitroJuliana Aparecida Macri, Suelen Santos da Silva, Milena Menegazzo Miranda et al.Kaurenoic acid has been displaying anti-inflammatory effect described in different models. However, the per se immunomodulatory effects of kaurenoic acid remain to be investigated. Thus, the immunomodulatory and antioxidant effects of kaurenoic acid were investigated in vitro on peritoneal macrophages from BALB/c mice. Kaurenoic acid induced per se the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNFα, IL-1β and IFN-γ while … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 16 Feb 2015 · 7,883 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α Signaling Pathway and its Relation to Cancer and ImmunologyBruno R.B. Pires, Andre L. Mencalha, Gerson M. Ferreira et al.Hypoxia-Inducible Factor 1 (HIF-1) is a transcription factor that is present in all metazoans from early embryonic development throughout adult life. It plays a major roles in the different stress responses that are triggered by low Oxygen (O2) levels and its expression is associated with cell survival. HIF-1 is a heterodimer protein that comprises the subunits HIF-1α and HIF-1β. The … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 17 Jan 2015 · 8,482 accessesView PDFCite
