METRONIDAZOLE GEL EFFECT ON RATS WITH BACTERIA-INDUCED PERIODONTITIS

ODONTO: Dental Journal, 2020
Background: Periodontitis is an inflammatory disease in the periodontal tissue and causes progressive tissue damage. Tissue Inhibitor of Matrix Metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) is directly responsible for the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases.

Airway remodelling assessed by sputum and high resolution computed tomography in asthma and COPD [PDF]

, 2004
It is not known whether sputum elastase, metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and tissue-inhibitor metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 are related to structural changes of the airways, as assessed by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan. The relationships between

Gender peculiarities and prognostic value of matrix metalloproteinase and their inhibitors system in patients with acute Q-wave left ventricle myocardial infarction

Zaporožskij Medicinskij Žurnal, 2015
Matrix metalloproteinases play a key role in postinfarction remodeling of the heart. The aim was to study gender and age peculiarities of matrix metalloproteinases and their inhibitors, and determine their prognostic value in post-infarction aneurysm ...

Clinical significance of matrix metalloproteinase 9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 and 2 in Kawasaki disease [PDF]

Korean Journal of Pediatrics, 2010
Purpose : Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis, a leading cause of pediatric acquired heart disease. Histopathological findings of coronary artery lesion (CAL) in KD indicate destruction of the coronary artery wall with diffuse vasculitis ...

Acute- and late-phase matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 activity is comparable in female and male rats after peripheral nerve injury. [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND:In the peripheral nerve, pro-inflammatory matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 performs essential functions in the acute response to injury. Whether MMP-9 activity contributes to late-phase injury or whether MMP-9 expression or activity after ...

Replacement of Conserved Cysteines in Human Tissue Inhibitor of Metalloproteinases-1 [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) is resistant to extremes of temperature and pH. This is thought to be due in part to the presence of six sulfhydryl bridges presumed to maintain the structural integrity of the molecule. As part of a study looking at structure-function relationships, a number of the conserved cysteine residues in TIMP-1

Serum MMP-8 and TIMP-1 as prognostic biomarkers in gastric cancer

Tumor Biology, 2018
Despite gastric cancer being rare nowadays in Western countries, it remains one of the leading causes of cancer death worldwide. The course of the disease varies, so the individual gastric cancer patient’s prognosis is difficult to determine.

Relationships of MMP-9 and TIMP-1 proteins with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease risk: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2016
Background: We performed this meta-analysis in order to collect all the relevant studies to clarify the correlations of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ...

Circulating levels of matrix proteases and their inhibitors in pregnant women with and without a history of recurrent pregnancy loss [PDF]

, 2010
Background: We have recently shown that serum relaxin-2 levels are attenuated in women with a history of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). We sought to determine whether a history of RPL is also associated with changes in serum matrix metalloproteases ...
