Detection of bluetongue virus in Brazilian cervids in São Paulo state

Pesqui. vet. bras; 38 (1), 2018
Viral hemorrhagic diseases in cervids occur worldwide and include epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD), bluetongue (BT), and adenoviral hemorrhagic disease (AHD). Since gross lesions in all three hemorrhagic diseases are identical (hemorrhagic enteropathy, pulmonary edema, systemic petechial and suffusion...

Role of the gene Slc11a1 and selected genotypes for minimum and maximum inflammatory reactivity in the process of alveolar bone healing in mice

The process of alveolar bone healing can be influenced by several local and systemic factors, which include the immune system and healing related genes. However, the exact role of host inflammatory responsiveness and genetic background in bone healing process remains unclear. In this context, we evaluate...

Procedimentos de regeneração pulpar: avaliação longitudinal imune

O tratamento endodôntico em dentes com desenvolvimento radicular incompleto está relacionado a algumas dificuldades e limitações. Entretanto, apesar das dificuldades técnicas, a alta susceptibilidade à fratura de dentes com rizogênese incompleta representa o fator chave para a busca de novas modal...

miR-141 is up-regulated in biopsies from Vietnamese patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma

Abstract: Novel biomarkers for screening, diagnosis and monitoring the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), one of the most common cancers in Vietnam, are urgently required. Increasing evidence suggests that microRNA-141 (miR-141) is associated with NPC, owing to its ability to affect the express...

Evaluation of chemokines and receptors in gnotobiotic root canal infection by F. nucleatum and E. faecalis

Abstract The present study aims to evaluate the longitudinal effects of induced experimental infections in gnotoxenic animals on the expression of inflammatory chemokines and their receptors in periradicular tissues. The null hypothesis tested was that Enterococcus faecalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum ha...

Experimental furcal perforation treated with mineral trioxide aggregate plus selenium: immune response

Abstract The aim of this study is to evaluate the expression of cytokines in response to mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) plus selenium in germ-free mice with experimental furcal perforation. The first left maxillary molar was opened, and the furcal area was perforated and treated with post-MTA-Se (exper...

Sensitive and Rapid Detection of Traditional Chinese Herbs by Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method and Real-Time Fluorescence Quantitative PCR

ABSTRACT Adulterant herbal materials are threats to import and export trade and consumer safety. In this study, we established a simple and rapid examination system for the detection of Phellodendron chinense Schneid. Two detection methods, real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (real-time PCR) and loop...

Impact of the incorporation of probiotic strains and fruit by-products in fermented synbiotic soy product and on the composition and metabolic activity of the gut microbiota in vitro

The present study aimed to develop a fermented soy beverage containing fruit by-products and probiotics and to evaluate the impact of this product on the composition and metabolic activity of the human intestinal microbiota using an in vitro simulation model of the intestinal conditions (TIM-2). Therefor...

Intestinal cell migration damage induced by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli strains

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (10), 2018
Epithelial cell migration is an essential response to enteric pathogens such as enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC). This study aimed to investigate the effects of EPEC infection on intestinal epithelial cell migration in vitro, as well as the involvement of type III secretion system (T3SS) and Rho ...

Estrogen and progesterone promote breast cancer cell proliferation by inducing cyclin G1 expression

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (3), 2018
Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer among women in most countries (WHO). Ovarian hormone disorder is thought to be associated with breast tumorigenesis. The present study investigated the effects of estrogen and progesterone administration on cell proliferation and underlying mechanisms in b...
