We previously showed that tanshinone IIA ameliorated the hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (HPH) partially by attenuating pulmonary artery remodeling. The hypoxia-induced proliferation of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) is one of the major causes for pulmonary arterial remodeling, therefore the present study was performed to explore the effects and underlying mechanism of tan...

This study aimed to assess the percentage of articles with authors affiliated Brazilian institutions in high-impact journals and SciELO evaluate trends 5-year citations according author's affiliation journal category. Bibliometric data were obtained using Scopus database from 1995 2019. Publications selected four categories: High-impact General Health (HGH), Public (HPH), (SGH) (SPH). The numbe...

Collagen accumulation likely contributes to increased vascular and airway impedance in hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (HPH). Collagen exists in multiple subtypes and can accumulate via increased synthesis or decreased degradation. To better understand the individual contributions of fibrillar (FB) and basement membrane (BM) collagen, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitor...

BACKGROUND The Internet enables an unprecedented opportunity to access a broad range of self-tests (e.g. testing for HIV, cancer, hepatitis B/C), which can be conducted by lay consumers without the help of a health professional. However, there is only little knowledge about the determinants of the use of self-tests. Thus, the aims of this study were (1) to experimentally investigate the impact ...

Nanoemulsion is one the most attractive drug delivery for researchers to treat fungal diseases and getting interested in increasing solubility of low soluble drugs. The objective this research was develop a topical nanoemulsion formulation Posaconazole with intention enhance its aqueous local action. By employing High Pressure Homogenization (HPH) method, oil water formulated 0.2% cinnamon as l...
