Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 as a prognostic factor in patients diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL).
Methods: In the present study, 45 paraffin biopsies from patients up to 19 years old diagnosed with HL were used in two referral hospitals in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. Risk groups were classified into favorable and unfavorable, according to Ann Arbor.
Article Synopsis
- The study explored the antiulcer effects of an ethanolic extract (SmEE) from a plant, as well as its main components, gallic acid (GA) and ellagic acid (EA), which are known for their medicinal properties.
- Various assays were conducted to determine the extract's antioxidant activity, revealing SmEE's ability to significantly reduce ulcer size in models induced by ethanol and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
- The findings indicate that not only does SmEE have protective effects on the gastric mucosa, but GA and EA also work together synergistically to enhance this protection against ulcers.
