Progress in the Role of Mast Cells and Biomolecular Signals in the Mechanism of Postoperative Ileus: From Cellular Activation to Exploration of the Brain–Gut Axis

open access: yesGut Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Postoperative ileus (POI) is a frequent complication after surgical procedures, predominantly manifesting as aberrant gastrointestinal motility, which markedly extends the duration of postoperative recovery for patients. The clinical duration of POI is typically modulated by intricate inflammatory cascades, with mast cells assuming a critical ...

Lipoxygenase pathways in Homo neanderthalensis: functional comparison with Homo sapiens isoforms

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2013
Lipoxygenases (LOX) have been implicated in biosynthesis of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators, and a previous report suggested compromised leukotriene signaling in H. neanderthalensis.

Impact of China's National Volume‐Based Procurement Policy on Cost, Volume, and Market Structure: An Interrupted Time‐Series Analysis of Montelukast Sodium

open access: yesHealth Care Science, EarlyView.
Using ARIMA‐based interrupted time‐series analysis, this study reveals that China's NVBP policy significantly reduced daily costs and enhanced affordability, driving generic substitution and the elimination of low‐quality products. Additionally, non‐winning manufacturers adopted strategic pricing behaviors to segment the market.

Eicosanoid Control Over Antigen Presenting Cells in Asthma

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Asthma is a common lung disease affecting 300 million people worldwide. Allergic asthma is recognized as a prototypical Th2 disorder, orchestrated by an aberrant adaptive CD4+ T helper (Th2/Th17) cell immune response against airborne allergens, that ...

12: Clinical Aspects of Prostaglandins and Leukotrienes in Migraine

open access: yes, 1986
Clinical, pathophysiological, pharmacological, and biochemical evidence support the concept that the prostanoid system may be involved in migraine. As a local defence system prostaglandins may best be linked with hyperalgesia and vascular events.

A current review on animal models of anti-asthmatic drugs screening

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory condition characterised by airway constriction, smooth muscle spasm, and severe morbidity. It affects around 300 million people globally, with children being especially vulnerable. Despite its worldwide effect,

Unmasking the role of mast cells in dengue

open access: yeseLife, 2013
Immune cells called mast cells can hinder rather than help the body's response to dengue virus, which suggests that mast cell products could be used as biomarkers to identify severe forms of the disease.

Cysteinyl Leukotrienes in Eosinophil Biology: Functional Roles and Therapeutic Perspectives in Eosinophilic Disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2017
Cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs), LTC4, and its extracellular metabolites, LTD4 and LTE4, have varied and multiple roles in mediating eosinophilic disorders including host defense against parasitic helminthes and allergic inflammation, especially in the ...

Significance of production of peptide leukotrienes in murine traumatic shock

open access: yes, 1986
We studied the formation of a leukotriene metabolite in plasma and bile during traumatic shock. Anesthetized rats subjected to Noble-Collip drum trauma developed a lethal shock state characterized by a survival time of 1.9 +/- 0.3 h, a 4.5-fold increase
