Changes in the proteomic profile of blood serum in coronary atherosclerosis [PDF]

Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2020
Background: Our aim was to study changes in the serum proteomic profile in coronary atherosclerosis. Methods: The study involved two groups of patients: 1) men with coronary heart disease and coronary atherosclerosis (n = 15); 2) control (n = 15): men ...

Stem Cells From Dental Pulp, Periodontal Tissues, and Other Oral Sources: Biological Concepts and Regenerative Potential

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
A graphical abstract recapping the different sources of dental, periodontal, and other oral‐derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and their regenerative mechanisms and potentials. The review's article findings bridge fundamental biological science with translational advances, highlighting the significance of MSCs in craniofacial regenerative ...

Platelet‐Rich Fibrins as Local Drug‐Delivery Carriers

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Autologous platelet concentrates (APCs), particularly platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF), act as biologically active fibrin scaffolds, capable of entrapping and gradually releasing therapeutic agents in oral and periodontal therapy. The incorporation of bioactive compounds, such as antibiotics, antifungals, vitamins, antidiabetic drugs, and exosomes, enhances ...

Photodegradation of commercial insect repellents containing DEET and IR‐3535 under ultraviolet light associated or not with chemical ultraviolet filters evaluated by Raman spectroscopy

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
This study evaluated the photodegradation of commercial insect repellents containing DEET and IR‐3535 under UV‐A and UV‐B irradiation using Raman spectroscopy. Pure DEET and IR‐3535 showed intrinsic photostability, whereas DEET diluted in ethanol and a commercial DEET‐based formulation exhibited significant spectral changes after UV exposure.

Clinical Implications of Serum Retinol-Binding Protein 4 in Asthmatic Children

Journal of Korean Medical Science, 2009
Recently the prevalence of both asthma and obesity have increased substantially in many countries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of retinol-binding protein (RBP) 4 in childhood asthma and its association with atopy markers, pulmonary function, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in relation to obesity. We studied 160 children between the

Dietary interventions in acute kidney injury: From molecular mechanism to clinical trials

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ageing impairs renal resilience with an elevated risk of frequent and harmful acute kidney injury (AKI) that causes substantial morbidity and mortality among hospitalized patients. Since different damaging stimuli at the molecular, cellular and functional level contribute to this loss in kidney function, AKI's pathophysiology is heterogeneous ...

Retinol-binding protein 4 downregulation during osteogenesis and its localization to non-endocytic vesicles in human cranial suture mesenchymal cells suggest a novel tissue function

, 2013
Craniosynostosis is a developmental disorder of the skull arising from premature bony fusion of cranial sutures, the sites of skull bone growth. In a recent gene microarray study, we demonstrated that retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) was the most highly ...

Pioglitazone Lowers Serum Retinol Binding Protein 4 by Suppressing its Expression in Adipose Tissue of Obese Rats

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2015
Background/Aims: Pioglitazone, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ activator, is clinically used to treat insulin resistance. However, the underlying mechanism of pioglitazone's action remains unclear.

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...
