Abstract

The present work was aimed to study mechanisms of paraneoplastic alterations of tissue redox-status, intensity of local blood flow in liver and their possible interrelations in case of malignant tumor growth. It has been investigated the electronic paramagnetic centres of blood and liver using the electronic paramagnetic resonance (EPR) method and intensity of local hemocirculation with the use of H(+) clearance polarography method. Experiments have been carried out on adult white rats of mixed population with carcinoma Walker and mice -- with carcinoma Ehrlich. It has been shown that malignant tumor growth displays conditions that lead to exaggerated lipid peroxidation (production of POL promoters -- Fe(2+), Mn(2+), NO, ubiquinone) and suppression of antioxidant protection of organism (reduction of total ceruloplasmin concentration in blood and increased concentration of oxidized ceruloplasmin). It has been suggested that in case of malignant tumor growth sharp paraneoplastic alterations of redox-status plays essential role in mechanisms of paraneoplastic disorders of tissues blood supply. All of these interrelated processes result in generalized paraneoplastic hypoxia in organs and tissues.

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.

Evolution of Pluripotency

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.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
