The aim of this work was to explore the microRNA profile and the effect of microRNA-155 on apoptosis in the spleen of selenium-deficient broilers. We replicated the splenic-apoptotic model in selenium-deficient broilers. In vitro, microRNA-155 oligonucleotides were transfected into lymphocytes and subsequently treated with H2O2. We observed that selenium deficiency altered the microRNA profile ...

background: despite the outbreak in dental science, oral and dental complications in alzheimer are of the unsolved problems. it is assumed that tumor necrosis factor-α, which is a key factor in alzheimer, has a relation with periodontal complications in patients with alzheimer disease. the present study evaluated the effect of chronic periodontitis on serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α in ...

background: because of its effect on speech and swallowing, laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma is a devastating disease which has been shown to have a poor survival rate. abundant research is being carried out in search of novel biomarkers that can aid the process of diagnosis and treatment of this disease. fxyd3, a modulator of na/k-atpase, is presented as a biomarker in some cancers. fxyd3 exp...

Abstract Psoriasis is a Th17-induced dermatitis, characterized by epidermal thickening. increases the risk of developing arthritis and cardiovascular-related morbidities, hence need to stop its progression early. Why disease patchy, what activates keratinocytes in psoriatic plaques driving Th17-type inflammation, remain unknown. Chronic exposure imiquimod (IMQ) drives psoriasis mice reminiscent...

Objectives. This study was performed to find changes in the plasma cytokine profile of neuroresuscitation patients with ventilator-associated pneumonia, and search for prognostic markers effectiveness antibacterial treatment pneumonia. Materials methods. A two-center clinical study, that included 73 aged 19 82 years neurosurgical neurological pathology signs pneumonia (VAP) conducted. On 1st 3r...

background: since tumor necrosis factor‑α (tnf‑α) could be one of the risk factors at the development of diabetes complications; as well as serum leptin deficiency is related to increased susceptibility to infections in diabetic patients, they are potential indices from the preventive medicine viewpoint. this study was conducted to represent the effect of supplemental vitamin d3 on serum leptin...

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) represents a slowly progressive pathologic process associated with major morbidity and mortality. The process is characterized by multiple steps: inflammation, fibrosis, and calcification. Numerous studies focalized on its physiopathology highlighting different "actors" for the multiple "acts." This paper focuses on the role of the tumor necrosis factor supe...
