| 1 | N-acetylcysteine modulates angiogenesis and vasodilation in stomach such as DNA damage in blood of portal hypertensive rats显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the antioxidant effect of N-acetylcysteine(NAC) on the stomach of rats with portal hypertension.METHODS: Twenty-four male Wistar rats weighing ± 250 g were divided into four experimental groups(n =6 each): Sham-operated(SO),SO + NAC,partial portal vein ligation(PPVL),and PPVL + NAC. Treatment with NAC in a dose of 10 mg/kg(i.p.) diluted in 0.6 m L of saline solution was administered daily for 7 d starting 8 d after the surgery. Animals from the PPVL and SO group received saline solution(0.6 m L) for the same period of time as the PPVL + NAC and SO + NAC group. On the 15 th day the animals were anesthetized and we evaluated portal pressure by cannulating mesenteric artery. After,we removed the stomach for further analysis. We performed immunohistochemical analysis for endothelial nitric oxide synthase(e NOS),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),and nitrotirosine(NTT) proteins in stomach. We also evaluated e NOS and VEGF by Western blot analysis and assessed DNA damage in blood samples by the comet assay.RESULTS: The portal hypertension group exhibited increases in portal pressure when compared to SO group(29.8 ± 1.8 vs 12.0 ± 0.3 mm Hg)(P < 0.001). The same was observed when we compared the e NOS(56.8 ± 3.7 vs 13.46 ± 2.8 pixels)(P < 0.001),VEGF(34.9 ± 4.7 vs 17.46 ± 2.6 pixels)(P < 0.05),and NTT(39.01 ± 4.0 vs 12.77 ± 2.3 pixels)(P < 0.05) expression by immunohistochemistry of the PPVL animals with the SO group. The expression of e NOS(0.39 ± 0.03 vs 0.25 ± 0.03 a.μ)(P < 0.01) and VEGF(0.38 ± 0.04 vs 0.26 ± 0.04 a.μ)(P < 0.01) were also evaluated by Western blot analysis,and we observed an increase of both proteins on PPVL animals. We also evaluated the DNA damage by comet assay,and observed an increase on damage index and damage frequency on those animals. NAC decreased portal pressure values in PPVL + NAC animals(16.46 ± 2 vs 29.8 ± 1.8 mm Hg)(P < 0.001) when compared to PPVL. The expression of e NOS(14.60 ± 4.1 vs 56.8 ± 3.7 pixels)(P < 0.001),VEGF(19.53 ± 3.2 vs 34.9 ± 4.7 pixels)(P < 0.05) and NTT(21.84 ± 0.7 vs 39.01 ± 4.0 pixels)(P < 0.05) evaluated by immunohistochemistry were also reduced in PPVL + NAC animals. Also,when evaluated by Western blot e NOS expression(0.32 ± 0.03 vs 0.39 ± 0.03 a.μ)(P < 0.05) and VEGF expression(0.31 ± 0.09 vs 0.38 ± 0.04 a.μ)(P < 0.01). Furthermore,NAC modulated DNA damage in PPVL + NAC animals.CONCLUSION: In view of these results,we believe NAC is able to protect the stomach from the alterations induced by the PPVL procedure. | Francielli Licks Renata Minuzzo Hartmann Camila Marques Elizangela Schemitt Josieli Raskopf Colares Mariana do Couto Soares Juliana Reys Camila Fisher Juliana da Silva Norma Possa Marroni | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,43: | 2 |

| 4 | New avenues for the treatment of immunotherapy-resistant pancreatic cancer显示文摘Pancreatic cancer(PC)is characterized by its extremely aggressive nature and ranks 14th in the number of new cancer cases worldwide.However,due to its complexity,it ranks 7th in the list of the most lethal cancers worldwide.The pathogenesis of PC involves several complex processes,including familial genetic factors associated with risk factors such as obesity,diabetes mellitus,chronic pancreatitis,and smoking.Mutations in genes such as KRAS,TP53,and SMAD4 are linked to the appearance of malignant cells that generate pancreatic lesions and,consequently,cancer.In this context,some therapies are used for PC,one of which is immunotherapy,which is extremely promising in various other types of cancer but has shown little response in the treatment of PC due to various resistance mechanisms that contribute to a drop in immunotherapy efficiency.It is therefore clear that the tumor microenvironment(TME)has a huge impact on the resistance process,since cellular and non-cellular elements create an immunosuppressive environment,characterized by a dense desmoplastic stroma with cancerassociated fibroblasts,pancreatic stellate cells,extracellular matrix,and immunosuppressive cells.Linked to this are genetic mutations in TP53 and immunosuppressive factors that act on T cells,resulting in a shortage of CD8+T cells and limited expression of activation markers such as interferon-gamma.In this way,finding new strategies that make it possible to manipulate resistance mechanisms is necessary.Thus,techniques such as the use of TME modulators that block receptors and stromal molecules that generate resistance,the use of genetic manipulation in specific regions,such as microRNAs,the modulation of extrinsic and intrinsic factors associated with T cells,and,above all,therapeutic models that combine these modulation techniques constitute the promising future of PC therapy.Thus,this study aims to elucidate the main mechanisms of resistance to immunotherapy in PC and new ways of manipulating this process,resulting in a more efficient therapy for cancer patients and,consequently,a reduction in the lethality of this aggressive cancer. | Luis Guilherme de Oliveira Silva Fabian Fellipe Bueno Lemos Marcel Silva Luz Samuel Luca Rocha Pinheiro Mariana dos Santos Calmon Gabriel Lima Correa Santos Gabriel Reis Rocha Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2024 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Oncology2024,16,4: | 0 |
| 5 | Beneficial effects of Pleurotus albidus supplementation on body weight and food intake in healthy C57BL/6 mice显示文摘The current investigation intended to check the influence of Pleurotus albidus extract supplementation on body weight,food intake,glycemia,serum lipids,and oxidative stress parameters.Healthy male C57BL/6 mice were partitioned into two experimental groups:control and P.albidus.The supplementation was performed by gavage(500 mg/kg)for 20 uninterrupted days.During this period,all animals received water and food ad libitum and they had their food ingestion and body weight monitored weekly.After,mice underwent an insulin sensitivity test,followed by euthanasia and biochemical analyses.P.albidus supplementation decreased the body weight and food intake,but it did not change other parameters in healthy mice.This work showed for the first time that the P.albidus extract supplementation presents a promising potential on body weight and food intake control. | Paola Quevedo da Costa Mariana Parron Paim Eduardo Echer dos Reis Patrick Tirck Marli Camassola Paulo Cavalheiro Schenke | 2021 | Journal of Future Foods2021,1,1: | 0 |
| 6 | Urea breath test for Helicobacter pylori infection in adult dyspeptic patients: A meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy显示文摘BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)infection has been well-established as a significant risk factor for several gastrointestinal disorders.The urea breath test(UBT)has emerged as a leading non-invasive method for detecting H.pylori.Despite numerous studies confirming its substantial accuracy,the reliability of UBT results is often compromised by inherent limitations.These findings underscore the need for a rigorous statistical synthesis to clarify and reconcile the diagnostic accuracy of the UBT for the diagnosis of H.pylori infection.AIM To determine and compare the diagnostic accuracy of 13C-UBT and 14C-UBT for H.pylori infection in adult patients with dyspepsia.METHODS We conducted an independent search of the PubMed/MEDLINE,EMBASE,and Cochrane Central databases until April 2022.Our search included diagnostic accuracy studies that evaluated at least one of the index tests(^(13)C-UBT or ^(14)C-UBT)against a reference standard.We used the QUADAS-2 tool to assess the methodo-logical quality of the studies.We utilized the bivariate random-effects model to calculate sensitivity,specificity,positive and negative test likelihood ratios(LR+and LR-),as well as the diagnostic odds ratio(DOR),and their 95%confidence intervals.We conducted subgroup analyses based on urea dosing,time after urea administration,and assessment technique.To investigate a possible threshold effect,we conducted Spearman correlation analysis,and we generated summary receiver operating characteristic(SROC)curves to assess heterogeneity.Finally,we visually inspected a funnel plot and used Egger’s test to evaluate publication bias.endorsing both as reliable diagnostic tools in clinical practice.CONCLUSION In summary,our study has demonstrated that ^(13)C-UBT has been found to outperform the ^(14)C-UBT,making it the preferred diagnostic approach.Additionally,our results emphasize the significance of carefully considering urea dosage,assessment timing,and measurement techniques for both tests to enhance diagnostic precision.Nevertheless,it is crucial for researchers and clinicians to evaluate the strengths and limitations of our findings before implementing them in practice. | Fabian Fellipe Bueno Lemos Caroline Tianeze de Castro Marcel Silva Luz Gabriel Reis Rocha Gabriel Lima Correa Santos Luís Guilherme de Oliveira Silva Mariana Santos Calmon Cláudio Lima Souza Ana Carla Zarpelon-Schutz Kádima Nayara Teixeira Dulciene Maria de Magalhães Queiroz Fabrício Freire de Melo | 2024 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2024,30,6: | 0 |
