The Anti-Oxidant Curcumin Solubilized as Oil-in-Water Nanoemulsions or Chitosan Nanocapsules Effectively Reduces Growth, Bacterial Biofilm Formation, Gastric Cell Adhesion and Internalization.

The bacterium () represents a major risk factor associated with the development of gastric cancer. The anti-oxidant curcumin has been ascribed many benefits to human health, including bactericidal effects. However, these effects are poorly reproducible because the molecule is extremely unstable and water insoluble.

Evaluation of the Effects of Chia ( L.) Leaves Ethanolic Extracts Supplementation on Biochemical and Hepatic Markers on Diet-Induced Obese Mice.

Obesity is a significant health concern affecting 13% of the world's population. It is often associated with insulin resistance and metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), which can cause chronic inflammation in the liver and adipose tissue. Obese hepatocytes show increased lipid droplets and lipid peroxidation, which can lead to the progression of liver damage.

Insulin resistance and liver histopathology in metabolically unhealthy subjects do not correlate with the hepatic abundance of NLRP3 inflammasome nor circulating IL-1β levels.

Introduction: Systemic chronic low-grade inflammation has been linked to insulin resistance (IR) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and its final product, interleukin (IL)-1β, exert detrimental effects on insulin sensitivity and promote liver inflammation in murine models. Evidence linking hepatic NLRP3 inflammasome, systemic IR and NASH has been scarcely explored in humans.

[Removal of an infected gastric cyanoacrylate plug. Report of one case].

In patients with actively bleeding gastric varices, the treatment of choice is the endoscopic use of sclerosing agents such as cyanoacrylate. We report a 69-year-old man who, after being treated with cyanoacrylate, suffered from recurrent febrile episodes. After an extensive study and broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment, discarding other presumably infectious focus, the superinfection of the cyanoacrylate plug was suspected, and its surgical removal was decided.
