Antimicrobial Proteins in Intestine and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases [PDF]

Intestinal Research, 2014
Mucosal surface of the intestinal tract is continuously exposed to a large number of microorganisms. To manage the substantial microbial exposure, epithelial surfaces produce a diverse arsenal of antimicrobial proteins (AMPs) that directly kill or ...

Experience With Performing Rheocarna Therapy via the Single‐Needle Method for Treatment of Chronic Limb‐Threatening Ischemia

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction This study investigated the safety and efficacy of single‐needle Rheocarna therapy for chronic limb‐threatening ischemia (CLTI) with wounds. Methods Six patients with CLTI involving ulcers unresponsive to revascularization underwent single‐needle Rheocarna treatment.

Effect of the gut microbiome, skin microbiome, plasma metabolome, white blood cells subtype, immune cells, inflammatory proteins, and inflammatory cytokines on asthma: a two-sample Mendelian randomized study and mediation analysis

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundAsthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder arising from incompletely understood heterogenic gene–environment interactions. This study aims to investigate causal relationships among gut microbiota, skin microbiota, plasma metabolomics, white ...

Serum Myonectin Levels Are Positively Associated With Physical Function and Lower Frailty‐Related Limitation in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients frequently suffer from frailty, characterized by reduced physical function and poor prognosis. Myokines, such as myonectin, secreted by muscle, are emerging regulators of systemic health. This study investigated the relationship between serum myonectin, adipokines (adiponectin, omentin), and ...

Penicillin kills chlamydia following the fusion of bacteria with Lysosomes and prevents genital inflammatory lesions in C. muridarum-infected mice [PDF]

, 2013
The obligate intracellular bacterium Chlamydia exists as two distinct forms. Elementary bodies (EBs) are infectious and extra-cellular, whereas reticulate bodies (RBs) replicate within a specialized intracellular compartment termed an ‘inclusion ...

Causal associations between gut microbiota, circulating inflammatory proteins, and epilepsy: a multivariable Mendelian randomization study

Frontiers in Immunology
BackgroundPrevious studies have suggested that gut microbiota (GM) may be involved in the pathogenesis of epilepsy through the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA).

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

Inflammatory and Anti-inflammatory Responsiveness of Surfactant Proteins in Fetal and Neonatal Rabbit Lung [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 2004
Spontaneous preterm birth due to intrauterine infection is associated with increased concentrations of cytokines in amniotic fluid and in the airways at birth. Intra-amniotic IL-1 induces fetal lung maturity, consistent with the decrease in the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in intrauterine inflammation.

Differential regulation of circulating levels of molecular chaperones in patients undergoing treatment for periodontal disease. [PDF]

, 2007
Evidence is emerging that molecular chaperones, in addition to their intracellular protein folding actions, can act as intercellular signaling proteins with an ability to modulate leukocyte function. Recent evidence has also shown that these proteins can
