MicroRNA-369 attenuates hypoxia-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis and inflammation via targeting TRPV3

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (3), 2021
Hypoxia-induced apoptosis and inflammation play an important role in cardiovascular diseases including myocardial infarction (MI). miR-369 has been suggested to be a key regulator of cardiac fibrosis. However, the role of miR-369 in regulating hypoxia-induced heart injury remains unknown. Our data indica...

The essential oil of Hyptis crenata Pohl ex Benth. presents an antiedematogenic effect in mice

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (3), 2021
Hyptis crenata, commonly known as "salva-do-Marajó", "hortelã-do-campo", and "hortelãzinha", is used in folk medicine in Northeast Brazil as tea or infusion to treat inflammatory diseases. Due to the pharmacological efficacy and the low toxicity of the essential oil of Hyptis crenata (EOHc), we decide...

The value of preoperative systemic immune-inflammation index in predicting vascular invasion of hepatocellular carcinoma: a meta-analysis

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (4), 2021
Vascular invasion and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) are risk factors for the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. At present, the correlation between the two is not clear. This meta-analysis explored the relationship between preoperative SII and vascular invasion in patients wi...

Pharmacological inhibition of mTORC1 activity protects against inflammation-induced apoptosis of nucleus pulposus cells

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (5), 2021
Lumbar disc herniation is a common disease characterized by the degeneration of intervertebral discs (IVDs), accompanied by imbalance of metabolic and inflammatory homeostasis. Current studies establish that IVD degeneration is induced by increased apoptosis of nucleus pulposus (NP) cells. However, the u...

MicroRNA-146a inhibition promotes total neurite outgrowth and suppresses cell apoptosis, inflammation, and STAT1/MYC pathway in PC12 and cortical neuron cellular Alzheimer's disease models

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (5), 2021
This study aimed to explore the effect of microRNA (miR)-146a inhibition on regulating cell apoptosis, total neurite outgrowth, inflammation, and STAT1/MYC pathway in Alzheimer's disease (AD). PC12 and cortical neuron cellular AD models were constructed by Aβ1-42 insult. For the former model, nerve ...

COVID-19 and Thromboinflammation: Is There a Role for Statins?

Clinics; 76 (), 2021
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) showed increased morbidity and mortality rates and worse prognosis in individuals with underlying chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular disease and its risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. There is also evidence of possible links among ...

Vector saliva controlled inflammatory response of the host may represent the Achilles heel during pathogen transmission

Infection with vector-borne pathogens starts with the inoculation of these pathogens during blood feeding. In endemic regions, the population is regularly bitten by naive vectors, implicating a permanent stimulation of the immune system by the vector saliva itself (pre-immune context). Comparatively, the...

Índices neutrófilo/linfocito, plaqueta/linfocito e inmunidad/inflamación sistémica en pacientes con neumonía por COVID-19

Gac. méd. Méx; 156 (6), 2020
Resumen Introducción: Existen índices hematológicos que correlacionan la severidad y predicen la mortalidad, principalmente en estados sépticos y de inflamación. Objetivo: Correlacionar los índices neutrófilo/linfocito (INL), plaqueta/linfocito (IPL) e inmunidad/inflamación sistémica (IIIS) co...

COVID-19 y la pandemia global causada por un nuevo coronavirus

Univ. salud; 22 (3,supl.1), 2020
Resumen Introducción: OVID-19 es una enfermedad respiratoria inédita que se reportó inicialmente como una neumonía atípica en diciembre de 2019. SARS-CoV-2, agente etiológico de esta patología, probablemente originado a partir de un virus de murciélago. La inesperada capacidad de transmisión y...

Efecto de la crioterapia en la articulación tibiotarsiana en el área de sección transversa de los músculos tibial anterior y sóleo en ratas

Rev. Fac. Med. (Bogotá); 68 (4), 2020
Resumen Introducción. La crioterapia se usa para tratar la inflamación articular aguda, sin embargo su efecto sobre el músculo relacionado con la articulación inflamada aún no ha sido estudiado. Objetivo. Evaluar el efecto de la crioterapia sobre la articulación tibiotarsiana en el área de secci...
