Environmental Factors in the Relapse and Recurrence of Inflammatory Bowel Disease:A Review of the Literature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The causes of relapse in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are largely unknown. This paper reviews the epidemiological and clinical data on how medications (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, estrogens and antibiotics ...

Modelling Lymph Propulsion in a 3D Model of Murine Collecting Vessel with Three Lymphangions in Series

open access: yesArtery Research, 2023
The lymphatic system maintains tissue homeostasis by transporting the excess fluid from the interstitium and ultimately returning it to the venous circulation against an adverse pressure gradient and gravitational force.

Confined compression of collagen hydrogels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Reconstituted collagen hydrogels are often used for in vitro studies of cell-matrix interaction and as scaffolds for tissue engineering. Understanding the mechanical and transport behaviours of collagen hydrogels is therefore extremely important, albeit ...

Effectiveness of heparin versus 0.9% saline solution in maintaining the permeability of central venous catheters: a systematic review [PDF]

open access: yesRevista da Escola de Enfermagem da USP, 2015
Abstract OBJECTIVE Determining which is the most effective solution (heparin flush compared to 0.9% saline flush) for reducing the risk of occlusions in central venous catheters (CVC) in adults. METHOD The systematic review followed the principles proposed by the Cochrane Handbook; critical analysis, extraction and synthesis of data were performed by

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Interaction between Molten Al‐Killed Mn–B Steel and Carbon‐Bonded MgO Refractories Based on Recyclates

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
High‐temperature interactions between low‐sulfur Al‐killed Mn–B steel and MgO–C refractories (0 and 50 wt% recyclates) are studied via finger immersion tests (1600 °C). Surface‐active elements influence infiltration. MgO/CaS layer forms, along with spinel and calcium silicate.

Sulodexide improves vascular permeability via glycocalyx remodelling in endothelial cells during sepsis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
BackgroundDegradation of the endothelial glycocalyx is critical for sepsis-associated lung injury and pulmonary vascular permeability. We investigated whether sulodexide, a precursor for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, plays a biological role in ...

Matrix Metalloproteinases and Glaucoma Treatment. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of proteolytic enzymes that degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) components such as collagen and have important roles in multiple biological processes, including development and tissue remodeling, both in ...

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...
