Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPrevalence of Diarrhea-Causing Pathogens in South Korea Analyzed Using Molecular Diagnostic MethodsYonghee Lee, Jae Kyung KimGastrointestinal inflammation remains a prevalent global health concern. Prompt and accurate diagnosis of the condition is required to mitigate health risks in immunocompromised individuals and alleviate the economic burden linked to treatment and pathogen isolation. Challenges posed by traditional culture tests, such as long detection time and inability to isolate low-abundance organisms, can be overcome using molecular diagnostic methods, which … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 2 · 25 Jul 2024 · 5,005 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPunicalagin Suppresses Mediators Involved in Labor Onset and Progression in vitroCaitlyn Nguyen-Ngo, Jane C Willcox, Martha LappasSpontaneous preterm birth is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Inflammation plays a central role in the activation of myometrial contractions and rupture of fetal membranes associated with spontaneous preterm birth. The pomegranate polyphenol punicalagin is known to possess anti-inflammatory properties. In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of punicalagin on pro-inflammatory and pro-labor mediators in … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 22 Dec 2021 · 7,609 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Duality of AIM2 Inflammasome: A Focus on its Role in Autoimmunity and Skin DiseasesMiriam CanaveseUnderstanding the inflammasome biology is one of the most exciting challenges in immuno-pharmacology. The role of the inflammasomes has been recognized in the host defense mechanism against invading pathogens and in the development of several conditions, such as cancer, auto-inflammatory, autoimmune, metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders. DNA recognition by the cells is a crucial immunological step leading to the initiation of … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 23 Apr 2016 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAnalgesic and Anti-inflammatory Activity of Euphorbia antiquorum LinnBanibrata Das, Samina Alam, Rajib Bhattacharjee, Biplab Kumar DasEuphorbia antiquorum (L.) is used as traditional medicine for various ailments in Bangladesh. But the scientific basis for its use especially in pain and inflammation remains largely unknown. Therefore, the present study was designed to evaluate analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect of the aqueous ethanolic extract of the whole plant. The analgesic activity was evaluated by hot plate, acetic acid induced … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 27 Aug 2015 · 9,211 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsVascular 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
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEFFECT OF PIOGLITAZONE ON HEPATIC ULTRA-STRUCTURE AND METABOLIC CHANGES INDUCED BY A HIGH SUCROSE DIET IN RATSMohamed D. Morsy, Ahmed S. Khashaba, Ahmed I. Agamy, Refaat A. EidPioglitazone (Pio) is a PPAR-γ agonist insulin sensitizer has anti-inflammatory activity. Our novel aspect was to investigate its hepatic anti-inflammatory activity at the level of ultra-structure and enzymatic changes in a high sucrose diet animal model. Forty male Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four equal groups: Control; control Pio; high sucrose diet; high sucrose diet Pio treated groups. Fourteen … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 7 · 23 Apr 2014 · 6,732 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsHerpetic Viral RetinitisHidetaka NomaHuman Herpes Virus (HHV) is a DNA virus and is the most important viral pathogen causing intraocular inflammation. HHV is classified into types 1-8. Among these types, HHV-1, HHV-2, HHV-3 Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) and HHV-5 Cytomegalovirus (CMV) are known to cause herpetic viral retinitis, including acute retinal necrosis and CMV retinitis. Herpes viral retinitis can be diagnosed from characteristic … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 29 Jul 2013 · 12,788 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPossible Therapeutic Role of Jasonia Candicans and Jasonia Montana Extracts in the Regression of Alzheimer’s Disease in Experimental ModelHanaa H. Ahmed, Hoda F. Booles, Wagdy K.B. Khalil et al.The present article aimed to investigate the potential role of the ethanolic extracts of the aerial parts of Jasonia candicans and Jasonia montana in management of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in experimental model. Supplementation of drinking water AlCl3 (0.3%) for 16 weeks induced AD in male rats with siginifcant increase in brain Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity, Tumour Necrosis Factor (TNF-α), Transforming Growth … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,830 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsButyrate-Mediated Genomic Changes Involved in Non-Specific Host Defenses, Matrix Remodeling and the Immune Response in the Rumen Epithelium of Cows Afflicted with Subacute Ruminal AcidosisLouis Dionissopoulos, Anne Hermen Laarman, Ousama AlZahal et al.Subacute Ruminal Acidosis (SARA) is a disorder in cattle which can lead to chronic inflammation in the rumen epithelium, known as rumenitis. Butyrate has been shown to attenuate some of the detrimental effects of inflammatory gastroenteral disorders but the molecular mechanisms mediated by butyrate have not been defined. The objective of this study was to define the inflammatory-related genomic changes … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 10 Jan 2013 · 8,059 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsRole of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms in Cancer Anorexia-Cachexia SyndromeAriele Fabris, Paolo Biagioni, Tiziana Punzi et al.The ubiquitin-proteasome pathway is a crucial connection between aberrant immune system activation, systemic inflammation and Cancer Anorexia-Cachexia Syndrome (CACS), a syndrome that culminates in hyper-activation of the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. Angiotensin directly up-regulates this pathway, while vitamin D down-regulates it indirectly through the insulin-like growth factor-1 pathway. We investigated the genetic predisposition towards CACS in a cancer population, examining Insertion/Deletion (I/D) … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 2 Aug 2012 · 9,560 accessesView PDFCite
