Role of adipokines in complications related to obesity. A review.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Worldwide, the prevalence of overweight and obesity and associated complications is increasing. Cardiovascular complications are the most important factor determining survival and influencing clinical management. However, obesity is also associated with an increased risk of metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, cancer and other diseases. The development of complications depends on the amount of body fat and its endocrine function. The hormones (leptin, adiponectin, resistin) and cytokines (TNF alpha, IL-6, PAI-1) produced by the adipose tissue are the link between obesity and obesity-related complications. The present a...

Stem cell niche in the Drosophila ovary and testis; a valuable model of the intercellular signalling relationships.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
One of the key factors determining the function of all types of stem cells is their location in a specific microenvironment called a niche which is understood as a system of adjacent cells directly influencing their ability to carry out self-renewal divisions. The cells which compose the niche influence cytophysiological processes of stem cells both directly via the intercellular junction system and via the synthesis and release of many protein regulatory substances which are ligands of specific receptors in a particular stem cell. These proteins are often the products of distinct genes whose expression tends to be spe...

Serum concentration of interleukin 10, anti-mannan Candida antibodies and the fungal colonization of the gastrointestinal tract in patients with ulcerative colitis.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The results of our study show that IL-10 serum concentration correlates neither with the disease activity nor with the levels of anti-mannan Candida antibodies and the fungal colonization of the gastrointestinal tract in ulcerative colitis. It seems that IL-10 serum concentration cannot be a universal marker for the assessment of ulcerative colitis activity. Moreover, anti-mannan Candida antibodies and significant fungal colonization are present in the minority of patients with ulcerative colitis suggesting that yeasts have minor, if any, influence on the clinical course of the disease.

Quantification of the mRNA encoding Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNFalpha) and its receptors in human nasal polyps.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: TNF-R1 has been identified to be a prevalent form of the TNFalpha receptor in nasal polyps which may reflect the apparent dominance of this form in TNFalpha signalling. The findings raise the possibility that the eosinophils from NP may influence biological responses through TNFalpha-dependent mechanisms. The differences between ENP and NNP relating to TNFalpha and the expression of its receptors may reflect the distinct character of those diseases.

Does variability in carotenoid composition and concentration in tissues of the breast and reproductive tract in women depend on type of lesion?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The results of our study confirmed the presence of a high diversity of carotenoids in the physiologic, benign and malignant tissues of the breast and the reproductive tract in women. The differences observed among the frequency of isolation of some carotenoids do not allow to make straightforward conclusions. The frequent isolation of provitamin A carotenoids in the examined material and the lack of their occurrence as major carotenoids may be connected with using them in the cellular biological processes. However, this requires further investigation. PMID: 19095580 [PubMed - in process] (Source: Advances in Medical Sciences)

Diagnosis and Therapy of Gestational Breast Cancer: A Review.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The evaluation and management of women with gestational breast cancer requires a multidisciplinary approach. A chemotherapeutic regimen should be individualised to a maximum reduction of risk, if applied in the second and third trimester. Surgical therapy may include mastectomy and sparing operative procedures. Sentinel node biopsy should be considered in node negative patients. Radiotherapy should be postponed to the postpartum period. PMID: 18952540 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Advances in Medical Sciences)
