The human IgG4 monoclonal antibody nivolumab targets programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and promotes antitumor response by blocking the interaction of PD-1 with its ligands. This single-center phase Ib study investigated the tolerability, safety, and pharmacokinetics of nivolumab combined with standard

Transport of amino acids into 3T3 and SV3T3 (SV40 virus-transformed 3T3) cells was measured on glass cover slips. The 3T3 and SV3T3 cells contain both A (alanine preferring) and L (leucine prefferring) systems for neutral amino acid transport. Initial rates of uptake of amino acids are about twofold

BACKGROUND The perioperative morbidity and mortality of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair is linked to systemic inflammation. Important triggers of the latter are Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which play a central role in innate immunity. Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury can be influenced by either

We studied the effects of four synthetic amides of betulonic acid containing amino acid fragments (d,l-alpha-alanine, beta-alanine, and their methyl esters) on the rate of growth and metastatic dissemination of transplantable Lewis lung carcinoma in C57Bl/6 mice. The test compounds were administered

BACKGROUND The nuclear translocation of transcription factors may be a critical factor in the intracellular pathway involved in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. The aim of the study was to evaluate the role of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappaB) in the pathogenesis of liver injury induced by

OBJECTIVE The present study was designed to investigate the effects of the EtOH and H(2)O extracts of Selaginella tamariscina (Beauv.) Spring on hyperglycemia in diabetic rats and HepG2 cells, and to confirm the active fractions of EtOH extract in HepG2 cells. METHODS HepG2 cells and type II

Excessive consumption of carbohydrate and fat increases the risk of liver disease. We hypothesized that swim exercise can protect hepatocytes from ultra-structural damage induced by high cholesterol and fructose diets (HCFD). Rats were either fed with HCFD (model group) or a standard laboratory chow

Background Diazinon (DZN) causes serious liver damage in both humans and animals. In the present study, the hepatoprotective effects of Cynara scolymus L. leaf extract against DZN-induced liver injury were examined. Methods Forty male rats were divided into five groups. The control group received a

OBJECTIVE We systematically reviewed available randomized clinical trials (RCTs) to elucidate the overall effects of synbiotic supplementation in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). METHODS PubMed, Scopus, ISI Web of science and Google Scholar were searched up to December, 2017.

The effects of 1,8-cineole on D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide (GalN/LPS)-induced shock model of liver injury was investigated in mice. The co-administration of GalN (700 mg kg(-1), i.p.) and LPS (5 microg kg(-1), i.p.) greatly elevated serum concentrations of tumour necrosis factor-alpha

BACKGROUND RNA-binding proteins, in cooperation with non-coding RNAs, play important roles in post-transcriptional regulation. Non-coding micro-RNAs control information flow from the genome to the glycome by interacting with glycan-synthesis enzymes. Glycan-binding proteins read the cell surface and
