Novel ethynylphenyl carbonates and carbamates containing carbon- and silicon-based choline mimics were synthesized from their respective phenol and aniline precursors and screened for anticholinesterase and anti-inflammatory activities. All molecules were micromolar inhibitors of
BACKGROUND
Renal failure is associated with activation of inflammatory response, but the mechanisms behind this observation and potential anti-inflammatory strategies are yet to be defined. Endotoxin (ET) translocation from the intestinal lumen can potentially trigger systemic inflammatory response,
BACKGROUND
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients' are at risk of low vitamin D and chronic inflammation. We studied the effect of 12 weeks calcitriol and calcium carbonate supplementation on inflammatory mediators serum; interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10) and highly sensitive C-reactive
The reactions of the carbonate and dichloride radical anions, CO3- and Cl2-, with the extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan (HA) have been studied using the kinetic technique of pulse radiolysis and also by steady-state irradiation combined with gel permeation chromatography/multiangle
Taking advantage of a standard assay on mouse LM cells (murine fibroblast-like cells), we found that several diaminic carbonates, a new class of organic compounds synthesized in our laboratories, were able to inhibit human tumor necrosis factor alpha (huTNFalpha)-induced cytotoxicity in a
Surgical glove powders have been implicated in serious postoperative foreign body reactions due to contamination of the operative field. Inflammatory responses to glove lubricants or mold release agents have to date been studied to a lesser extent in ocular tissues than other body tissues, although
The maintenance of normal metabolism and body defenses depends on the balance between cellular antioxidant and anti-inflammatory factors. This balance can be disrupted by agents/mechanisms in the extracellular milieu that induce excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) and inflammation. Cytopathic
Phagocytosis is a physiological process used by immune cells such as macrophages to actively ingest and destroy foreign pathogens and particles. It is the cellular process that leads to the failure of drug delivery carriers because the drug carriers are cleared by immune cells before reaching their
BACKGROUND
Hyperphosphataemia is a known independent risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. The objective of the study was to compare the effects of two phosphate binders, sevelamer carbonate and calcium carbonate on endothelial function (EF) and inflammation in patients on peritoneal dialysis
Calcium sulfate (CS), also known as POP (Plaster of Paris) is a self-setting, biocompatible, and osteoconductive biomaterial with a long history for the treatment of skeletal defects. However, CS cements show a too fast resorption rate and are unable to provide a long-term 3D framework during the
The purpose of the paper is to better characterise changes occurred in nose cytology in a group of 50 subjects affected by chronic inflammation of upper respiratory airway. The patients were random shared in two groups: group A 40 subjects treated using sulphurous thermal water and a group B
The incorporation of CaCO3 hydrogel has been proven to enhance the bone biological activity of Plaster of Paris (POP) and to decrease its degradability. However, the installation of this bone substitute in a bone defect will still be associated with an inflammatory response. In this study, the
Glycosaminoglycans (long-chain polysaccharides) are major components of the extracellular matrix, glycocalyx, and synovial fluid. These materials provide strength and elasticity to tissues and play a key role in regulating cell behavior. Modifications to these materials have been linked to multiple
Gallstone formation is frequently accompanied by inflammation of the gallbladder mucosa. Some gallstone components such as cholesterol, calcium bilirubinate, and calcium hydroxyapatite have been previously shown to activate neutrophils. We investigated the effect on neutrophils of the calcium
