Efficacy of alpha1-antitrypsin augmentation therapy in conditions other than pulmonary emphysema [PDF]

, 2011
Up to now alpha 1-antitrypsin (AAT) augmentation therapy has been approved only for commercial use in selected adults with severe AAT deficiency-related pulmonary emphysema (i.e.

Diagnostic Impact of Liver Biopsy Among Antinuclear Antibody Positive Individuals With Mild Liver Enzyme Elevation

Alimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In ANA‐positive patients with suspected autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), liver biopsy rarely altered therapeutic management when alanine aminotransferase (ALT) was below 101 U/L and cirrhosis was absent. These findings suggest that biopsy may be safely deferred in this low‐risk group.

From the Proteome to Therapeutics: A Multi‐Database Approach to Drug Discovery in Periodontitis—An Exploratory Pilot Study

Journal of Clinical Periodontology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This explanatory pilot study presents a workflow to identify approved drugs, which could be repurposed for periodontitis therapy using salivary proteomics combined with drug‐target database screening. Methods Proteomic analyses of saliva using LC–MS/MS were conducted in two independent settings: a cohort (sub‐study I, N = 187) and

Molar‐Incisor Hypomineralisation in Children: The Essential Role of Paediatricians

Journal of Paediatrics and Child Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim Molar‐incisor hypomineralisation is a developmental enamel defect characterised by lower mineral content in the tooth's outer layer, discoloured and structurally fragile teeth that are more prone to sensitivity, breakdown and caries. This review aims to summarise current knowledge on molar‐incisor hypomineralisation and highlight key ...

The pathological Trento variant of alpha-1-antitrypsin (E75V) shows non-classical behaviour during polymerization [PDF]

, 2017
Severe alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) is most frequently associated with the alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) Z variant (E342K). ZZ homozygotes exhibit accumulation of AAT as polymers in the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes.

Lung transplantation in alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency

8.2 Transplantation, 2015
Lung transplantation is a therapeutic option for patients with end-stage lung disease and a survival benefit has been described in patients with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (A1ATD). The aims of the current study were to determine the survival and health benefits of lung transplantation in UK patients with A1ATD compared to carefully matched non ...

Potential health benefits of cold‐water immersion: the central role of PGC‐1α

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cold‐water immersion (CWI) elicits autonomic, somato‐motoric (shivering thermogenesis), endocrine and metabolic, sensory transduction, and local biophysical effects that may converge on the transcriptional co‐activator PGC‐1α (centre).

A neutrophil-dependent pathway for the generation of a neutral peptide mediator: partial characterization of components and control by alpha-1-antitrypsin. [PDF]

, 1974
A biologically active neutral peptide mediator is cleaved from a plasma protein substrate by an alpha-1-antitrypsin-inhibitable serine protease apparently residing on the membrane of the human neutrophil. The peptide mediator has an approximate mol wt of

An antibody raised against a pathogenic serpin variant induces mutant-like behaviour in the wild-type protein [PDF]

, 2015
A monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds to a transient intermediate may act as a catalyst for the corresponding reaction; here we show this principle can extend on a macro molecular scale to the induction of mutant-like oligomerization in a wild-type ...
