Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is an oxygen-derived species involved in physiological processes related to the defence of the organism that may cause adverse effects when its production is insufficiently controlled. In order to examine its reactivity with potential scavenging molecules from the non
OBJECTIVE
Levels of S-PIIINP (serum aminoterminal propeptide of type III procollagen) have been shown to be increased in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis and inflammatory bowel disease. The aim of the study was to investigate the serum concentrations of PIIINP and laminin in inflammatory
Scarring is a well-known side-effect of cutaneous laser treatment and exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation is suspected to increase scar formation. We investigated how wounds and scarring were modified by interfering in the laser-induced inflammation using ultraviolet radiation and
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used anti-inflammatory therapeutic agents, among which the fenamate analogues play important roles in regulating intracellular Ca²⁺ transient and ion channels. However, the effect of NSAIDs on TRPC4 and TRPC5 is still unknown. To understand
The study of the interaction of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) with several reactive oxygen species is of great interest in inflammatory conditions where an uncontrolled release of these potentially damaging intermediates has been documented. This study focused on the scavenging of
Two aminobenzoic acid derivatives DAB-0 and DAB-1 showed distinct biological properties on murine bladder cancer (BCa) cell line MB49-I. In contrast to DAB-1, DAB-0 does not possess any anti-inflammatory activity and is less toxic. Furthermore, DAB-0 does not interfere with INFγ-induced STAT1
BACKGROUND
We performed a cross-sectional study to evaluate the prevalence of hepatobiliary disease in unselected patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), to estimate the frequency of coexisting cholangiographic and pancreatographic duct abnormalities, and to correlate the findings with
Many studies report that sunscreens effective against UVR-induced inflammation afford poor protection against immunosuppression. We have studied the relationship between photoprotection of inflammation and immunosuppression with monochromatic UVB (Philips TL01 tubes, lambda max = 311 nm) to remove
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with vascular inflammation, including activation and adherence of neutrophils to vascular endothelial cells via CD11b/CD18 intercellular adhesion molecule interactions. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) induces CD11b surface expression in polymorphonuclear
Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is an essential cofactor for the production of folic acid in bacteria and has mild anti-inflammatory activity. We have recently reported that salicylic acid and benzoic acid are oxidized by stimulated granulocytes Polymorphonuclear Neutrophils (PMN). The oxidation of
We have previously shown that p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is acetylated by several cell lines and most peripheral blood cells, including platelets, to p-acetamidobenzoic acid (PACBA). The structural similarity of PABA and PACBA to local anesthetics and some non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs urged
Hypochlorous acid is the most powerful oxidant generated by neutrophils and is likely to contribute to the damage mediated by these inflammatory cells. The haem enzyme myeloperoxidase catalyses its production from hydrogen peroxide and chloride. 4-Aminobenzoic acid hydrazide (ABAH) is a potent
Accurate and sensitive imaging of hypoxia associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is significant for precise diagnosis and treatment of this disease, but it remains a challenge for traditional hypoxia-activatable fluorescence probes because of more moderate hypoxic state during IBD than
Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of life-threatening infections, frequently originating from unknown or deep-seated foci. Source control and institution of appropriate antibiotics remain challenges, especially with infections due to methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA). In this study, we
