Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsColor Doppler Evaluation of Isovolumetric Relaxation Time and of Signals Arising from Axons of the Median Nerve as a Means to Evaluate Mitochondrial Functionality in the Context of Immunotherapy of Cancer and Chronic Conditions Associated with Mitochondrial DysfunctionStefania Pacini, Marco RuggieroReactive Oxygen Species (ROS) arising from the disruption of mitochondrial respiration act as endogenous mutagens and tumor promoters. When production of ROS exceeds the capacity of DNA repair mechanisms, random mutations and aneuploidy ensue, thousands of genes become unbalanced and genetic/epigenetic chain reactions lead to progressive aneuploidy with only two outcomes: karyotypes so altered that are not viable or karyotypes … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 12 Oct 2019 · 9,700 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsUse of an Extremely Biodiverse Probiotic and a Supplement Based on Microbial Chondroitin Sulfate is Associated with a Significant Decrease of Serum Free Kappa Light Chains as well as a Trend Toward Normalization of Kappa/Lambda Ratio and of Plasma Cell Bone Marrow Infiltration in a Case of Multiple MyelomaNicola Antonucci, Stefania Pacini, Marco RuggieroWe describe the case of a 71-year-old woman with multiple myeloma associated with severe chronic renal insufficiency who, since October 2018, assumed a novel, extremely biodiverse, probiotic and a supplement based on microbial chondroitin sulfate, vitamin D3 and ultrapure phosphatidylcholine; such a nutritional regimen was associated with a dramatic decrease of serum free Kappa light chains (from 2,190 to a … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 18 Jun 2019 · 27,919 accessesView PDFCite
HypothesisOpen accessIn the keywordsNatural Substances as New Potential Strategies for the Treatment of Leishmaniosisin DogsDe Vito Virginia, Helen Owen, Amnart Poapolathep, Giorgi MarioLeishmaniasis is a disease caused by the protozoan parasites Leishmania, infecting numerous mammal species. Canine leishmaniasis is potentially zoonotic and causes severe fatal disease in dogs. The discovery of new natural products extracted from medicinal plants or compounds derived from them, such as quercetin, hesperidin, vitamin c, horse chestnut extract and selenium could represent a valuable source of new medicinal … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 8,862 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAmeliorative Impacts of Tribulus terrestris Against Ivermectin-Induced Hepato-Renal Toxicity in Rabbit: Pharmacological and Histopathological StudySally I. Ismaiel, Sameh M. Farouk, Raafat A. El-Ramady, Waleed F. KhalilThe current work aimed to investigate the protective effects of Tribulus terrestris extracts against ivermectin-induced hepatic and renal toxicity in male rabbit. Selenium plus vitamin E was used as a comparative standard drug to evaluate the efficacy of Tribulus terrestris extract on some hematological parameters, kidney and liver enzymes as well as associated histopathological changes. This work was carried out … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 12 Jan 2017 · 7,771 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFactors 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. Genetic … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2015 · 7,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTHE IMPACT OF ANTIOXIDANTS ON INFLAMMATION AND OXIDATIVE STRESS MARKERS IN OSTEOARTHRITIS RAT MODEL: SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPE INSIGHTSEl Hassan Heidar, FareedF Al Faya, Waleed N. Hassan et al.Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by degradation of matrix and destruction of articular cartilage. Articular chondrocytes are solely responsible for the production and maintenance of the extracellular matrix. Therefore, chondrocyte disruption is implicated in cartilage degeneration. Numerous studies have shown that antioxidant treatments are promising therapeutics in cases of OA. This study was designedto examine whether vitamin E protects rat articular … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 19 May 2014 · 7,620 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsInduced Production of α-Tocotrienol by Co-Suppression of Tocopherol Cyclase Gene in Vegetable CropsUmaiyal Munusamy, Siti Nor Akmar Abdullah, Maheran Abdul Aziz et al.This study involves the induced production of α-tocotrienol by the co-suppression of tocopherol cyclase gene. The Tocopherol/Tocotrienol Cyclase (TC) is a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of α-tocotrienol. The partial conserved cDNA of TC gene isolated from the oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) that shared greater than 75% sequence identity with TC sequences from other plant species was used to … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2013 · 7,710 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsOSTEOPOROSIS AS A NOVEL MARKER OF UTERINE CANCER RISK FACTORZena Abdul Monim Al-Jawadi, Zainab Mahfoth Al-noaymyDue to limited available information on the occurrence and treatment of uterine cancer, health institutions in major countries trend to study some factors and diseases that may relation or plays as predisposing factors of the occurrence of uterine cancer and the lack of previous studies on the impact of osteoporosis on the incidence of uterine cancer and the rapid spread … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 7 Dec 2013 · 6,880 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffects of Gc-Macrophage Activating Factor in Human Neurons; Implications for Treatment of Chronic Fatigue SyndromeRodney Smith, Lynda Thyer, Emma Ward et al.Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating disease of multifactorial aetiology characterized by immune system dysfunction, widespread inflammation, multisystemic neuropathology and persistent pain. Given the central role of the immune system in the pathogenesis of the syndrome, we studied the effects of a potent modulator of the immune system in in vitro and in vivo models that could help … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 6 Nov 2013 · 10,991 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTherapeutic Effects of Highly Purified De-Glycosylated Gcmaf in the Immunotherapy of Patients with Chronic DiseasesLynda Thyer, Emma Ward, Rodney Smith et al.The de-Glycosylated vitamin D binding protein is a powerful Macrophage Activating Factor (GcMAF) that shows multiple biological effects that could be exploited in the immunotherapy of tumours, viral infections and autism.
