Laminated Layer Extract from Echinococcus Granulosus cyst Attenuates Ocular Damages and Inflammatory Responses in an Experimental Autoimmune Uveitis Model.

Purpose: Since extract of the laminated layer (LL) from E. granulosus showed immuno-modulatory effects in vitro and in vivo, we sought to determine its effect on the onset, development, and evolution of experimental auto-immune uveitis (EAU). The latter is a model of some human diseases with ocular inflammation that can cause blindness.

Neuroinflammation, neurodegeneration and alteration of spatial memory in BALB/c mice through ampicillin-induced gut dysbiosis; NOS2 and NFL involvement in a microbiota-gut-brain axis model.

We aimed to investigate ampicillin (AMP) mechanisms in microbiota-gut-brain axis. We evaluated its effect on two gut and brain regions and behavioral performances. We administred AMP (1 g/l) to BALB/c mice for 21 days.

Hepatic inflammation and liver fibrogenesis: A potential target for the treatment of cystic echinococcosis-associated hepatic injury.

To investigate the effect of cystic echinococcosis (CE) on liver damage, we developed a secondary experimental echinococcosis in Swiss mice by intraperitoneal inoculation of viable protoscoleces. Mice were randomly allocated into three groups: Ctrl group, PBS group, and CE group. Mice were euthanized and associated indications were investigated to evaluate inflammatory and fibrotic responses in liver.

Beneficial effect of dimethyl fumarate on experimental autoimmune uveitis is dependent of pro-inflammatory markers immunomodulation.

Autoimmune uveitis is an inflammatory disease of the eye and is one of the major causes of blindness worldwide. Experimental autoimmune uveoretinitis (EAU) constitutes an animal disease model of human endogenous uveitis. In our study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effect of dimethyl fumarate (DMF) using bovine retinal extract-induced uveitis in a Female Wistar rats.

Beneficial role of Pistacia lentiscus aqueous extract in experimental colitis: anti-inflammatory and potential therapeutic effects.

Background: Pistacia lentiscus L. (PL) is a flowering plant traditionally used in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. The extracts of this plant are endowed with strong pharmacological activities.

[Platelet activation in lung cancer].

During primary hemostasis the platelets aggregate to form the platelet thrombus. ADP and thrombin generated by coagulation are the main agonists in platelet aggregation. In a previous study we were able to show that patients with lung cancer had hypercoagulability, hyperfibrinogemia (≥ 6.

A preventive effect of the combination of albendazole and pomegranate peel aqueous extract treatment in cystic echinococcosis mice model: An alternative approach.

To investigate the preventive effect of the combination of albendazole (ABZ) and pomegranate peel aqueous extract (PGE) treatment in cystic echinococcosis, we assess in vivo the antihydatic and the anti-inflammatory effects of the combination of ABZ/ PGE in cystic echinococcosis mice model. To evaluate the in vivo efficacy, mice were inoculated intraperitoneally with viable protoscolices and then treated with ABZ and/or PGE during cystic echinococcosis development. Mice were randomly allocated into eight groups: ABZ/CE group, PGE/CE group, (ABZ+PGE)/CE group, CE group, and control groups (Ctrl, PBS, ABZ, and PGE groups).

Gastro-protective, therapeutic and anti-inflammatory activities of Pistacia lentiscus L. fatty oil against ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in rats.

Pistacia lentiscus L. (Anacardiaceae) (PL) is a flowering plant that grows in the Mediterranean area. It is traditionally used in the treatment of various skin, respiratory and gastrointestinal disorders AIM OF THE STUDY: In the present study, we investigated the anti-ulcerogenic activity of Pistacia lentiscus fatty oil (PLFO) on ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in Wistar rats MATERIAL AND METHODS: PLFO was orally administered to two experimental groups of rats before or after ethanol induction of gastric ulcer.

In vivo treatment with IL-17A attenuates hydatid cyst growth and liver fibrogenesis in an experimental model of echinococcosis.

We aimed to assess the effect of exogenous Interleukin (IL)-17A in experimental model of echinococcosis. Swiss mice were inoculated intra-peritoneally with viable protoscoleces (PSCs). Then, IL-17A was administered at 100, 125 or 150 pg/mL two weeks after cystic echinococcosis (CE) induction.

Claudin 3, 4, and 15 expression in solid tumors of lung adenocarcinoma versus malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Epithelioid malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) can easily be confused with lung adenocarcinomas (ACAs). In serous effusion, claudin (cldn) 3 is shown to be useful in the diagnosis of mesothelioma vs ACAs. Cldn15 is reported to be overexpressed in epithelioid mesothelioma and absent in human airway epithelium.
