helicobacter pylori infection is a common gastrointestinal infection that can cause pathological effects, increase oxidative stress and induce an inflammatory response in gastric mucosa. inflammatory aspects may prompt the production of radical oxygen substance (ros) which may damage cells and release 8-hydroxydyoxyguanosine (8-ohdg) to serum. in this study, we evaluate the prevalence of h. pyl...

Inflammation is a biological response of the immune system that can be triggered by a variety of factors, including pathogens, damaged cells and toxic compounds. These factors may induce acute and/or chronic inflammatory responses in the heart, pancreas, liver, kidney, lung, brain, intestinal tract and reproductive system, potentially leading to tissue damage or disease. Both infectious and non...

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a complex neurological disease in which neuro inflammation that leads to neurodegeneration _ plays a key role and its prevalence is 2 million in the world. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is multifunctional. One of the important functions is in immune system, both in immunological tolerance and in adaptive immune responses. 264 patients will be enrolled that s...

Objective(s): Longan seeds have been used as a folk medicine in China. Longan seed extract (LSE) is known for antioxidative, antiproliferative, hypoglycemic, and hypouremic effects. However, its anti-inflammatory effect has not been shown. Materials and Methods: In this study, Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were given LSE orally (vehicle, 10, and 30 mg/kg) for 3 days to its test anti-inflammatory eff...

hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (i/r) is a common phenomenon during liver surgery, transplantation, infection and trauma which results in damage and necrosis of the hepatic tissue through different pathways. mechanisms involved in i/r damage are very intricate and cover several aspects. several factors are involved in i/r-induced damages; briefly, decrease in sinusoidal perfusion and atp generatio...

leptadenia reticulata was reported to be used for several medicinal purposes. the present study was undertaken to evaluate anti-inflammatory, analgesic and lipid peroxidation inhibition activities of l. reticulata. the anti-inflammatory assay was performed by λ-carrageenan and formalin induced paw edema test. pro inflammatory mediators (il2, il6, tnf-α) in serum of treated and control organism ...

Many complicated mechanisms are involved in brain ischemia and the role of inflammatory factors in the progression of post-ischemic injury is inevitable. In present study, anti-inflammatory effect of berberine has been investigated in reperfusion injury after acute ischemic stroke. Male Wistar rats weighing 250-270 gr were randomly divided into four cohorts: healthy rats (control, n=20), sham-o...

We have previously demonstrated that Lactobacillus reuteri CRL1098 soluble factors were able to reduce TNF-α production by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The aims of this study were to determine whether L. reuteri CRL1098 soluble factors were able to modulate in vitro the inflammatory response triggered by LPS in murine macrophages, to gain insight into the molecular mechanisms invol...

The paradigm of systemic inflammatory response syndrome-to-compensatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome transition implies that hyperinflammation triggers acute sepsis mortality, whereas hypoinflammation (release of anti-inflammatory cytokines) in late sepsis induces chronic deaths. However, the exact humoral inflammatory mechanisms attributable to sepsis outcomes remain elusive. In the fir...
