| 1 | Therapeutic and prophylactic thalidomide in TNBS-induced colitis: Synergistic effects on TNF-α, IL-12 and VEGF production显示文摘AIM: To evaluated the therapeutic and prophylactic effect of thalidomide on 2, 4, 6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced colitis. Thalidomide has been reported to downregulate the expression of tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-α), IL-12, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hallmarks of intestinal inflammation in Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS: Male Wistar rats were divided in five groups of ten animals each. Four groups received a rectal infusion of TNBS in ethanol. The first group was sacrificed 7 d after colitis induction. The second and third groups received either thalidomide or placebo by gavage and were sacrificed at 14 d. The fourth group received thalidomide 6 h before TNBS administration, and was sacrificed 7 d after induction. The fifth group acted as the control group and colitis was not induced. Histological inflammatory scores of the colon were performed and lamina propria CD4+ T cells, macrophages, and VEGF+ cells were detected by immunohistochemistry. TNF-a and IL-12 were quantified in the supernatant of organ cultures by ELISA. RESULTS: Significant reduction in the inflammatory score and in the percentage of VEGF+ cells was observed in the group treated with thalidomide compared with animals not treated with thalidomide. Both TNF-αand IL-12 levels were significantly reduced among TNBS induced colitis animals treated with thalidomide compared with animals that did not receive thalidomide. TNF-αlevels were also significantly reduced among the animals receiving thalidomide prophylaxis compared with untreated animals with TNBS-induced colitis. Intestinal levels of TNF-αand IL-12 were significantly correlated with the inflammatory score and the number of VEGF+ cells. CONCLUSION: Thalidomide significantly attenuates TNBS-induced colitis by inhibiting the intestinal production of TNF-α, IL-12, and VEGF. This effect may support the use of thalidomide as an alternate approach in selected patients with CD. | Ana Teresa Carvalho Heitor Souza Antonio Jose Carneiro Morgana Castelo-Branco Kalil Madi Alberto Schanaider Flavia Silva Fernando Antonio Pereira Júnior Márcia G Pereira Cláudio Tortori Ilana Dines Jane Carvalho Eduardo Rocha Celeste Elia | 2007 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2007,13,15: | 6 |
| 2 | Metabolic syndrome and colorectal neoplasms:An ominous association显示文摘AIM:To evaluate the association of metabolic syndrome(MS) and colorectal cancer and adenomas in a Western country,where the incidence of MS is over 27%.METHODS:This was a prospective study between March 2013 and March 2014.MS was diagnosed according to the National Cholesterol Education ProgramATP III.Demographic characteristics,anthropometric measurements,metabolic risk factors,and colonoscopic pathologic findings were assessed in patients with MS(group 1) who underwent routine colonoscopy at our department.This data was compared with consecutive patients without metabolic syndrome(group 2),with no differences regarding sex and age.Patients with incomplete colonoscopy,family history,or past history of colorectal neoplasm were excluded.Informed consent was obtained and the ethics committee approved this study.Statistical analysis was performed using Student's t-test and χ2 test,with a P value ≤ 0.05 being considered statistically significant.RESULTS:Of 258 patients,129 had MS;51% males;mean-age 67.1 years(50-87).Among the MS group,94% had high blood pressure,91% had increased waist circumference,60% had diabetes,55% had low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level,50% had increased triglyceride level,and 54% were obese [body mass index(BMI) 30 kg/m2].51% presented 4 criteria of MS.MS was associated with increased prevalence of adenomas(43% vs 25%,P = 0.004) and colorectal cancer(13% vs 5%,P = 0.027),compared with patients without MS.MS was also positively associated with multiple(≥ 3) adenomas(35% vs 9%,P = 0.024) and sessile adenomas(69% vs 53%,P = 0.05).No difference existed between location(P = 0.086),grade of dysplasia(P = 0.196),or size(P= 0.841) of adenomas.In addition,no difference was found between BMI(P = 0.078),smoking(P = 0.146),alcohol consumption(P = 0.231),and the presence of adenomas.CONCLUSION:MS is positively associated with adenomas and colorectal cancer.However,there is not enough information in western European countries to justify screening in patients with MS.To our knowledge,no previous study has evaluated this association in Portuguese patients. | Daniel Trabulo Suzane Ribeiro Cláudio Martins Cristina Teixeira Cláudia Cardoso Jo?o Mangualde Ricardo Freire élia Gamito Ana L Alves Fátima Augusto Ana P Oliveira Isabelle Cremers | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,17: | 5 |
| 3 | Intranasal delivery of nanostructured lipid carriers,solid lipid nanoparticles and nanoemulsions:A current overview of in vivo studies显示文摘The management of the central nervous system(CNS)disorders is challenging,due to the need of drugs to cross the blood-brain barrier(BBB)and reach the brain.Among the various strategies that have been studied to circumvent this challenge,the use of the intranasal route to transport drugs from the nose directly to the brain has been showing promising results.In addition,the encapsulation of the drugs in lipid-based nanocarriers,such as solid lipid nanoparticles(SLNs),nanostructured lipid carriers(NLCs)or nanoemulsions(NEs),can improve nose-to-brain transport by increasing the bioavailability and site-specifc delivery.This review provides the state-of-the-art of in vivo studies with lipid-based nanocarriers(SLNs,NLCs and NEs)for nose-to-brain delivery.Based on the literature available from the past two years,we present an insight into the different mechanisms that drugs can follow to reach the brain after intranasal administration.The results of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics studies are reported and a critical analysis of the differences between the anatomy of the nasal cavity of the different animal species used in in vivo studies is carried out.Although the exact mechanism of drug transport from the nose to the brain is not fully understood and its effectiveness in humans is unclear,it appears that the intranasal route together with the use of NLCs,SLNs or NEs is advantageous for targeting drugs to the brain.These systems have been shown to be more effective for nose-to-brain delivery than other routes or formulations with non-encapsulated drugs,so they are expected to be approved by regulatory authorities in the coming years. | Cláudia Pina Costa Joao Nuno Moreira JoséManuel Sousa Lobo Ana Catarina Silva | 2021 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2021,11,4: | 5 |
| 4 | Antioxidant role of zinc in diabetes mellitus显示文摘Chronic hyperglycemia statue noticed in diabetes mellitus favors the manifestation of oxidative stress by increasing the production of reactive oxygen species and/or by reducing the antioxidant defense system activity.Zinc plays an important role in antioxidant defense in type2 diabetic patients by notably acting as a cofactor of the superoxide dismutase enzyme,by modulating the glutathione metabolism and metallothionein expression,by competing with iron and copper in the cell membrane and by inhibiting nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase enzyme.Zinc also improves the oxidative stress in these patients by reducing chronic hyperglycemia.It indeed promotes phosphorylation of insulin receptors by enhancing transport of glucose into cells.However,several studies reveal changes in zinc metabolism in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus and controversies remain regarding the effect of zinc supplementation in the improvement of oxidative stress in these patients.Faced with the serious challenge of the metabolic disorders related to oxidative stress in diabetes along with the importance of antioxidant nutrients in the control of this disease,new studies may contribute to improve our understanding of the role played by zinc against oxidative stress and its connection with type 2 diabetes mellitus prognosis.This could serve as a prelude to the development of prevention strategies and treatment of disorders associated with this chronic disease. | Kyria Jayanne Clímaco Cruz Ana Raquel Soares de Oliveira Dilina do Nascimento Marreiro | 2015 | World Journal of Diabetes2015,6,2: | 4 |
| 5 | Sex-specific effects of Eugenia punicifolia extract on gastric ulcer healing in rats显示文摘AIM To evaluate the sex-specific effects of a hydroalcoholic extract from Eugenia punicifolia(HEEP) leaves on gastric ulcer healing.METHODS In this rat study involving males, intact(cycling) females, and ovariectomized females, gastric ulcers were induced using acetic acid. A vehicle, lansoprazole, or HEEP was administered for 14 d after ulcer induction. Body weight was monitored throughout the treatment period. At the end of treatment, the rats were euthanized and the following in vivo and in vitro investigations were performed: macroscopic examination of the lesion area and organ weights, biochemical analysis, zymography, and evaluation of protein expression levels. Additionally, the concentration-dependent effect of HEEP was evaluated in terms of subacute toxicity and cytotoxicity.RESULTS Compared to the vehicle, HEEP demonstrated a great healing capacity by substantially reducing the ulcerative lesion area in males(52.44%), intact females(85.22%), and ovariectomized females(65.47%), confirming that HEEP accelerates the healing of acetic acidinduced gastric lesions and suggesting that this effect is modulated by female sex hormones. The antiulcer effect of HEEP was mediated by prostaglandin E2 only in male rats. Overall, the beneficial effect of HEEP was the highest in intact females. Notably, HEEP promoted the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(intact vs ovariectomized females) and decreased the expression of Caspase-8 and Bcl-2(intact female vs male or ovariectomized female). Additionally, HEEP enhanced fibroblast proliferation and migration into a wounded area in vitro, confirming its healing effect. Finally, no sign of subacute toxicity or cytotoxicity of HEEP was observed.CONCLUSION In gastric ulcers, HEEP-induced healing(modulated by female sex hormones; in males, mediated by prostaglandin) involves extracellular matrix remodeling, with gastric mucosa cell proliferation and migration. | Larissa Lucena Périco Vinícius Peixoto Rodrigues Rie Ohara Gabriela Bueno Vania Vasti Alfieri Nunes Raquel Cássia dos Santos Ana Carolina Lima Camargo Luis Antuio Justulin Joior Sérgio Faloni de Andrade Viviane Miranda Bispo Steimbach Luísa Mota da Silva Lúcia Regina Machado da Rocha Wagner Vilegas Catarina dos Santos Clélia Akiko Hiruma-Lima | 2018 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2018,24,38: | 3 |

| 12 | Comprehensive analysis of HFE gene in hereditary hemochromatosis and in diseases associated with acquired iron overload显示文摘BACKGROUND Patients with hepatitis C virus(HCV) and hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) may or not develop iron overload(IO),which is associated with worst prognosis,because can cause serious damage to organs.HFE gene controls the iron uptake from gut,particularly in patients with hereditary hemochromatosis(HH).AIM To identify associations between HFE coding region in patients exhibiting hereditary hemochromatosis and in diseases associated with acquired IO.METHODS We sequenced exons 2 to 5 and boundary introns of HFE gene,evaluating all polymorphic sites in patients presenting hereditary(hemochromatosis) or acquired iron overload HCV and HCC) and in healthy controls,using Sanger sequencing.We also determined the ensemble of extended haplotype in healthy control individuals,including several major histocompatibility complex loci,using sequence specific probes.Haplotype reconstruction was performed using the Arlequin and Phase softwares,and linkage disequilibrium(LD) between histocompatibility loci and HFE gene was performed using the Haploview software.RESULTS The HFE*003 allele was overrepresented(f = 71%) and HFE*001 allele was underrepresented(f = 14%) in HH patients compared to all groups.A strong linkage disequilibrium was observed among the H63 D-G,IVS2(+4)-C and C282 YG gene variants,particularly in HH;however,the mutation IVS2(+4)T>C was not directly associated with HH susceptibility.The HFE*001/HFE*002 genotype conferred susceptibility to HCC in HCV patients exhibiting IO(P = 0.02,OR =14.14).Although HFE is telomeric to other histocompatibility genes,the H63 DG/IVS2(+4)-C(P ≤ 0.00001/P ≤ 0.0057) combination was in LD with HLA-B*44 allele group in healthy controls.No LD was observed between HFE alleles and other major histocompatibility loci.CONCLUSION A differential HFE association was observed for HH and for diseases associated with acquired IO(HCV,HCC).Since HFE is very distant from other histocompatibility loci,only weak associations were observed with these alleles. | Wagner Narciso de Campos Juliana Doblas Massaro Eduardo Luiz Rachid Can?ado Cláudia Emília Vieira Wiezel Aguinaldo Luiz Sim?es Andreza Correa Teixeira Fernanda Fernandes de Souza Celso Teixeira Mendes-Junior Ana de Lourdes Candolo Martinelli Eduardo Ant?nio Donadi | 2019 | World Journal of Hepatology2019,11,2: | 1 |
