Abstract

IPC (ischaemic preconditioning) may protect the steatotic liver, which is particularly susceptible to I/R (ischaemia/reperfusion) injury. Hepatic steatosis was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats with a high-cholesterol (2%) diet for 12 weeks after which rats were subjected to I/R (ischaemia/reperfusion; 45 min of lobar ischaemia followed by 2 h of reperfusion). Rats were divided into three study groups (n=6 each) receiving: (i) sham laparotomy alone, (ii) I/R, and (iii) IPC (5 min of ischaemia, followed by 10 min of reperfusion) before I/R. Hepatic extra- and intra-cellular oxygenation and HM (hepatic microcirculation) were measured with near-infrared spectroscopy and laser Doppler flowmetry respectively. Plasma liver enzymes and hepatic tissue ATP were measured as markers of liver injury. Histology showed moderate-grade steatosis in the livers. At the end of 2 h of reperfusion, I/R significantly decreased extra- and intra-cellular oxygenation concomitant with a failure of recovery of HM (21.1+/-14.4% of baseline; P<0.001 compared with sham animals). IPC increased intracellular oxygenation (redox state of the copper centre of cytochrome oxidase; P<0.05 compared with rats receiving I/R alone) and flow in HM (70.9+/-17.1% of baseline...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.
