Effectiveness of a Novel Low‐Density Lipoprotein Apheresis Device Rheocarna in Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis With Chronic Limb‐Threatening Ischemia: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) is a severe form of lower‐extremity artery disease characterized by distal lesions and microcirculatory impairment, limiting revascularization efficacy. Rheocarna is a direct hemoperfusion low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) adsorption device with potential rheological and anti‐inflammatory ...

Role of Interleukin-18 in vascular injury: a new pharmacological target for the prevention of restenosis

, 2006
Background: Studies in humans as well as in animal models suggest that interleukin-18 (IL-18) plays a crucial role in vascular pathologies. IL-18 is a strong predictor of cardiovascular death in angina and is involved in atherotic plaque destabilization.

IL-18 induces death in HT-29 cells.

, 2018
Light microscope images (x100) of the cells taken on day 5 after treatment with 100 ng per ml of IL-18 (A). Note that prior neutralization of the cytokine with an IL-18 neutralizing monoclonal antibody (10 ug per ml) inhibited the deleterious effects of ...

Development of diagnostic and prognostic biomarker models for knee osteoarthritis based on NLRP3 inflammasome activation [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry
Background: This study aimed to characterize the expression profiles of the NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and its downstream effectors [Interleukin (IL)-1b, IL-18, and Gasdermin-D (GSDMD)] in degenerative knee ...

Prognosis of Long‐Term Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy and the Impact of Combined Continuous Intravenous Sodium Infusion Therapy

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Patients requiring long‐term continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) generally have poor prognoses. This study evaluated whether adding continuous intravenous sodium infusion (cIVNa) is associated with improved hemodynamics and outcomes in patients undergoing long‐term CRRT for ≥ 7 days.

Enteropathogenic E. coli shows delayed attachment and host response in human jejunum organoid‐derived monolayers compared to HeLa cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) infects the human intestinal epithelium, resulting in severe illness and diarrhoea. In this study, we compared the infection of cancer‐derived cell lines with human organoid‐derived models of the small intestine. We observed a delayed in attachment, inflammation and cell death on primary cells, indicating that host ...

Oncolytic adenovirus co-expressing IL-12 and IL-18 improves tumor-specific immunity via differentiation of T cells expressing IL-12R beta(2) or IL-18R alpha

, 2011
The oncolytic adenovirus (Ad) is currently being advanced as a promising antitumor remedy as it selectively replicates in tumor cells and can transfer and amplify therapeutic genes.
