Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApoptosis in Yeast is Modulated by Clove Leaf Extract and Eugenol Potentially by Interfering Caspase YCA1Septyani Amini, Rika Indri Astuti, Irmanida BatubaraApoptosis is a process of cell death important for preventing the development of diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmune, and cardiovascular disease. Apoptosis is reported to be potentially induced by antioxidant compounds, including phytoextract. Thus in this study, we determined the potential of apoptotic modulation in yeast cells by clove extract, which was rich in eugenol. Apoptotic in yeast … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 15 Sep 2022 · 5,497 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractThe Diagnostic and Etiologic Challenge of Myocarditis in Oncologic Patients: Acute Myocarditis During Induction Treatment with All-Trans Retinoic AcidNúria Coma, Sergio Moral, Rosa Coll et al.Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the myocardium characterized by myocardial infiltration with inflammatory cells and non-ischemic myocytic necrosis. Its diagnosis is based on clinical, electrocardiogram, laboratory and echocardiographic parameters and also cardiac magnetic resonance or endomyocardial biopsy when possible. It occurs primarily as a result of infections that include viruses, parasites, bacteria and fungi. Moreover, there are other causes … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 17, Issue 3 · 7 Jun 2021 · 7,013 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHigh-Dose Vitamin D3 Intake Is Associated with Decreased Symptoms of Multiple SclerosisMichelle L. Steinwart, David M. DuriancikMultiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most widespread disabling autoimmune neurological conditions of adults between the ages of 20 and 40 globally. Medical researchers do not completely understand the possible causes of MS, nor have they determined the rate of progression. A limited number of clinical trials conducted in recent years have explored the link between vitamin D deficiency … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Sep 2018 · 9,283 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFocalize the Structure of Myd88 in TLR Signaling Pathway to Modulate Innate Immune Response: New Target for Old DiseasesShuai Xing, Ping ZhouAll diseases have their Achilles’ Heel to target and this is especially true for immunorelated diseases which must be treated by targeting the immune system somewhere and somehow correctly. In the most recent decade, immunologists recognized that the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in innate immune system plays a double-edged role in the pathogenesis of many notorious diseases. Although the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Anti-Ds-DNA Antibodies and Abnormal Kidney Function Tests in Patients with Lupus NephritisFalah Salim Manhal, Hawra'a Adnan MohammedThe majority of patients with Lupus Nephritis (LN) usually have abnormal findings of kidney function tests. Severe glomerular damage may be observed in some patients and requires prompt therapeutic interventions. High titer levels of anti-ds-DNA antibodies may correlate to some extent with disease activity in lupus nephritis patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between anti-ds-DNA … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 12, Issue 2 · 21 May 2016 · 9,076 accessesView PDFCite
Case ReportOpen accessIn the abstractEpistein-Barr Virus Infection with Concurrent Pancreatitis and Hepatitis: A Rare Disease EntityJered Cook, Megha Kothari, Andrew NguyenConcurrent acute hepatitis and acute pancreatitis is a rare disease entity. Most commonly it can be attributed to infectious etiologies such as hepatitis A, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis E. Although not as common, Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) should be considered in the differential diagnosis in patients with combined hepatitis and pancreatitis. We report a case of a 25 year-old male … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 18 Sep 2015 · 7,835 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVascular Endothelial Growth Factor: An Overview Across Multiple Disease ConditionsMiriam CanaveseVascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is the major player in the regulation of physiological angiogenesis as well as it has also been implicated in pathological angiogenesis, associated with cancers and other conditions, among which psoriasis, autoimmune diseases and visual loss in macular degeneration. Interestingly, three regulatory Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (rSNPs) in the promoter region of VEGF-A gene have been significantly … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 6 May 2015 · 7,099 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractGLUTATHIONE: A POSSIBLE LINK TO AUTOPHAGY IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUSDilip Shah, Swapan K. NathIncreased free radical formation and altered redox state are of fundamental importance in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases including Systemic Lupus Erythematos (SLE). Free radicals are mainly derived from oxygen (Reactive Oxygen Species/ROS) and nitrogen (Reactive Nitrogen Species/RNS) at mitochondria, cellular membranes and the endoplasmic reticulum membrane as physiological responses to a variety of internal and external stress (Shah et … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 10, Issue 3 · 3 Sep 2014 · 12,773 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractRelationship between Fetuin-A and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus as a Predictor Marker for AtherosclerosisOsama F. Mosa, Ibrahim H. Mohamad, Magdi M. SalamaProblem statement: Associations between serum levels of fetuin-A, C3 complement, calcium × phosphate product and calcification risk index and lipid profile in SLE patients were established. However, the mechanism of accelerated atherosclerosis accompanied with SLE remains elusive. We therefore turned to investigate the association between Fetuin-A, disease activity and accelerated atherosclerosis in patients with SLE. Approach: Serum blood samples were … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 15 Sep 2012 · 7,777 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMicrobial Translocation and B Cell Dysfunction in Human Immunodeficiency Virus DiseaseWei JiangThe gut mucosal barrier disrupted in HIV disease, resulting in increased systemic exposure to microbial products such as Lipo Polys Accharide (LPS). The association of enhanced microbial translocation and B cell dysfunction in HIV disease is not fully understood. High dose and short term exposure of microbial Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) agonists were used as vaccine adjuvants, however, low dose and … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2012 · 7,409 accessesView PDFCite
