Cytokines are key regulators of post-transplant inflammation responses which reconstitute post-transplant hepatic and systemic environments to influence the likelihood of tumor relapse. This study investigated the prognostic value of post-transplant cytokines on tumor recurrence after liver transplantation (LT) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A...

Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing
Ablation index (AI)-guided ablation improves the incidence of arrhythmia recurrence as compared to conventional contact force (CF)-guided ablation. The aim of this study was to elucidate the differences in the biomarkers associated with myocardial injury and inflammation between conventional CF-guided and AI-guided ablation. Atrial fibrillation (AF...

Patients with clinically evident coronary artery disease differ in their rate of progression, which impacts prognosis. We aimed to characterize serum and genetic markers in patients with rapid clinical progression (RCP) of coronary artery disease vs those with long standing stable (LSS) disease. Retrospective study of cases (RCP) and controls (LSS)...

Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent chemotherapeutic agent used against several cancer types. However, due to its cardiotoxic adverse effects, the use of this drug may be also life-threatening. Although most cancer patients are elderly, they are poorly represented and evaluated in pre-clinical and clinical studies. Considering this, the present work aims...

The aim of the present study was to investigate the impacts of glyphosate herbicide on the survival and proliferation of glioblastoma cells and to explore the molecular mechanisms underlying such effects. For this, cultured human glioblastoma cell line, A172, was exposed to the glyphosate analytical standard, a glyphosate-based herbicide formulatio...

Exposure to dust storm particulate matter (PM) is detrimental to kidney tissue. In this study, the impacts of chronic intake of dusty PM were explored as a major objective in a specified compartment to make a real-like dust storm (DS) model, and the role of hesperidin (HSP) as an antioxidant on kidney tissue was assessed in rats. Thirty-two male Wi...

Infection and inflammation are two key features to consider to avoid septic or aseptic loosening of bone-implanted biomaterials. In this context, various approaches to fine-tune the biomaterial's properties have been studied in order to modulate the crosstalk between immune and skeletal cells. Cation-doping strategies for tuning of calcium phosphat...

Mastitis is the most economically important disease affecting the dairy industry worldwide. Lactobacillus plantarum, an important probiotic with a wide range of applications, has potential anti-inflammatory properties and has become a currently strong candidate for mastitis therapies. In the current study, we evaluated the prevention effect of Lact...

Abstract Background Rodents utilize chemical cues to recognize and avoid other conspecifics infected with pathogens. Infection with pathogens and acute inflammation alter the repertoire and signature of olfactory stimuli emitted by a sick individual. These cues are recognized by healthy conspecifics via the vomeronasal or accessory olfactory system...

Fungi are an essential part of the normal collection of intestinal microorganisms, even though their collective abundance comprises only 0.1-1% of all fecal microbes. The composition and role of the fungal population is often studied in relation to early-life microbial colonization and development of the (mucosal) immune system. The genus Candida i...
