Influences of Glabridin Treatment on Motor Function Recovery after Spinal Cord Injury

Int. j. morphol; 42 (3), 2024
SUMMARY: Spinal cord injury (SCI) usually arises from compression due to traffic accidents and falls, resulting in varying degrees of movement, sensory loss, and possible paralysis. Glabridin (Gla) is a natural compound derived from licorice. It significantly affects drug development and medicine because...

Acteoside Attenuates Recognition Memory Impairment in CUMS Rats via Regulating Synaptic Plasticity and mTOR Signaling Pathway

Int. j. morphol; 42 (2), 2024
SUMMARY: We evaluated the role and mechanism of acteoside in the regulation of memory impairment induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). CUMS was used to induce depression in rats and the successful establishment of CUMS model were verified by forced swimming test and sucrose preference test...

Telocytes in Human Embryonic Development: A Preliminary Microscopic Anatomy Study

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: Telocytes are a cell population described in 2011 with a multitude of functions such as tissue support, regulation of stem cell niches or intercellular signal transmission. However, there are no studies about their embryonic origin, their function in development, or their moment of appearance. T...

Microcirculatory changes as a hallmark of aging in the heart and kidney

Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
SUMMARY: Changes in the microcirculation of multiple tissues and organs have been implicated as a possible mechanism in physiological aging. In particular, vascular endothelial growth factor is a secretory protein responsible for regulating angiogenesis via altering endothelial proliferation, survival, m...

Over-expression of gastrin inhibits apoptosis of gastric cancer cells via reactive oxygen species and annexin A2-mediated mitochondrial dysfunction

Int. j. morphol; 41 (1), 2023
SUMMARY: Gastrin plays a vital role in the development and progression of gastric cancer (GC). Its expression is up-regulated in GC tissues and several GC cell lines. Yet, the underlying mechanism remains to be investigated. Here, we aim to investigate the role and mechanism of gastrin in GC proliferatio...

Immunofluorescent distribution of SIRT1, SIRT2, SIRT6 protein in the skin of SKH1 mouse after ultraviolet B irradiation for 10 Weeks

Int. j. morphol; 40 (6), 2022
SUMMARY: The skin, located on the outermost part of the body, is always exposed to external stimuli such as sunlight. The exposure of skin to ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from sunlight is known to be a major environmental factor in inducing photoaging. After exposure to UVB, an increase in reactive oxyg...

Analysis of Nerve Endings in the Superior Labrum-Biceps Complex by Fluorescence Immunohistochemistry and Confocal Laser Microscopy

Abstract Objectives The capsuloligamentous structures of the shoulder work as static stabilizers, together with the biceps and rotator cuff muscles, increasing the contact surface of the glenoid cavity. Free nerve endings and mechanoreceptors have been identified in the shoulder; however, there are a fe...

Low-dose cisplatin exposure and SNAIL, Vimentin, E-cadherin expression in HEPG2 cell line

Cisplatin, the first platinum compound approved for cancer treatment, is widely used in the treatment of various cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). HCC incidence rates rise globally. Epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) is implicated in cancer invasion and metastasis, which are associat...

Mitochondrial energy metabolism in baby hamster kidney (BHK-21/C13) cells treated with karnozin extra®

Int. j. morphol; 40 (1), 2022
SUMMARY: Carnosine is known as a natural dipeptide, which inhibits the proliferation of tumor cells throughout its action on mitochondrial respiration and cell glycolysis. However, not much is known about its effects on the metabolism of healthy cells. We explored the effects of Karnozin EXTRA® capsule ...

Mechanisms of Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy based on network pharmacyology analysis of its active ingredients

Int. j. morphol; 40 (5), 2022
SUMMARY: Coreopsis tinctoria Nutt. (C. tinctoria Nutt.) can protect diabetic kidneys, but the mechanisms are unclear. This work is to investigate the potential mechanisms of C. tinctoria Nutt. in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy based on network pharmacology analysis of its active ingredients. Twelv...
