The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on oxidative stress and inflammation in patients with diabetic foot ulcers: A preliminary study.

Introduction: Patients with an uncontrolled glycemic index develop a wide variety of pathologies associated with diabetes, such as diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is an adjunctive therapy used to heal wounds and prevent lower extremity amputations in this population.

Objective: This preliminary study aimed to evaluate how HBOT impacts inflammation in patients with Wagner stages 2-4 DFUs by analyzing its effect on the gene expression of key oxidative stress regulators SOD1, SOD2, and GPX2, of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNFα, IL-1β, IL-4, and IL-12, and of the NLRP3 inflammasome.

In Vitro Evaluation of the Antiamoebic Activity of Kaempferol against Trophozoites of and in the Interactions of Amoebae with Hamster Neutrophils.

() is a parasite in humans that provokes amoebiasis. The most employed drug is metronidazole (MTZ); however, some studies have reported that this drug induces genotoxic effects. Therefore, it is necessary to explore new compounds without toxicity that can eliminate .

Recognition of the interaction between the bioactive peptide Val-Pro-Pro and the minimal promoter region of genes SOD and CAT using QCM-D and docking studies.

Bioactive peptides are biomolecules involved in very diverse mechanisms . It has been reported that bioactive peptides play a very important role in the regulation of physiological functions such as oxidative stress, hypertension, cancer and inflammation. It's been reported that the milk derived peptide (VPP) prevents the progress of hypertension in different animal models and human beings with mild hypertension.

Oxidative stress and genotoxicity in oral epithelial cells from subjects undergoing orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances.

Objectives: The objective of this work was to evaluate the impact of fixed orthodontic appliances on oxidative stress (OS) and genotoxicity from oral epithelial cells.

Materials And Methods: Samples of oral epithelial cells were obtained from fifty-one healthy voluntary subjects who had an indication for orthodontic treatment. The samples were obtained before treatment and after 6 and 9 months of treatment.

Entrenamiento de atención focalizada para disminuir la ansiedad en pacientes candidatos a craneotomía.

Background: The focused attention training has been used in pre surgery patients because of the benefits of its use decrease of psychological symptoms like anxiety, eases the post operatory period and recovery. Also, there are favorable changes in a psychological level as well as pain healing.

Objective: Show that the focused attention training is effective in patients who are candidates to a craniotomy.

Evaluation of Cytochrome P4502E1 mRNA Expression and Its Effects in Antioxidant Defenses, and Cell Toxicity in Printing Workers.

Background: Cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) metabolizes environmental toxins, however, compound metabolism can produce oxidative stress, causing in-cell toxicity and sometimes transformation.

Aim: To evaluate CYP2E1 gene expression and its effects in antioxidant defenses, and cell toxicity in printing workers.

Methods: The hierarchical method of health and chemical risk was used to evaluate chemical exposure in workplace.

Short tandem repeat (STR) instability in the oral mucosa of patients submitted to fixed orthodontic therapy: a limitation of STR profile quality for human identification.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate changes in short tandem repeat (STR) profile quality before and after fixed orthodontic therapy. Samples of oral epithelial cells were obtained from 28 volunteers who had an indication for orthodontic treatment. The samples were collected before and three months after starting orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances.

Biosensor of Inflammation Biomarkers Based on Electrical Bioimpedance Analysis on Immobilized DNA Without Chemical Modification.

The development of biosensors to identify molecular markers or specific genes is fundamental for the implementation of new techniques that allow the detection of specific Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences in a fast, economic and simple way. Different detection techniques have been proposed in the development of biosensors. Electrical Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (EBiS) has been used for diagnosis and monitoring of human pathologies, and is recognized as a safe, fast, reusable, easy and inexpensive technique.

DNA methylation of the RE-1 silencing transcription factor in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and gene expression of antioxidant enzyme in patients with late-onset Alzheimer disease.

Late-onset Alzheimer disease (LOAD) is the most frequent cause of dementia in elderly adults. However, the factors determining disease onset remain unclear. In the elderly, the activation and expression of the gene encoding RE-1 silencing transcription factor (REST) may be a determinant of neuroprotective mechanisms and good amyloidogenic pathway management.

Intense craving for appetizing foods: validation and standardization of the Food Cravings Questionnaire-Trait in Mexico.

Introduction: Food craving is a motivational and physiological response for eating specific foods, mainly with high caloric content. To assess food craving, self-reports, inventories and questionnaires are used. The Food Cravings Questionnaire-Trait is multi-dimensionally structured and has been validated in several countries, since it is sensitive and adaptable to contextual-cultural changes.
