Mesenchymal stem cells have ameliorative effect on the colitis model via Nrf2/HO-1 pathway

Acta cir. bras; 37 (7), 2022
Purpose: To evaluate the ameliorative effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on acetic acid colitis model via Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in rats. Methods: In this study, 30 rats were divided into three groups. Acute colitis was induced by rectal administration of 4% solution of acetic acid. MSCs were injected i...

Lúpus eritematoso sistêmico e gestação: análise dos desfechos maternos em uma coorte de um hospital terciário
Systemic lupus erythematosus and pregnancy: analysis of maternal outcomes in a cohort of a tertiary hospital

Devido à maior prevalência do lúpus eritematoso sistêmico (LES) em mulheres em idade fértil, a gestação nessas pacientes não é uma condição incomum. Contudo, gestantes com LES possuem uma maior morbimortalidade materna e fetal do que o restante da população, necessitando de cuidados diferenc...

Effects of concentrated growth factors on the angiogenic properties of dental pulp cells and endothelial cells: an in vitro study

Abstract The aim was to investigate the angiogenic effects of concentrated growth factors on human dental pulp cells and human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Cells were treated with concentrated growth factor extracts. The CCK-8 assay and cell cycle assay were conducted to evaluate cell growth. Cell m...

Mechanism of hif-1α mediated hypoxia-induced permeability changes in bladder endothelial cells

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (2), 2018
This study aimed to investigate the mechanism of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1α) mediated hypoxia-induced permeability changes in bladder endothelial cells. Models of in vitro hypoxic cell culture of bladder cancer, bladder cancer cells with low HIF-1α expression and HIF-1α RNA i...
