Pnpla3/Adiponutrin Deficiency in Mice Does Not Contribute to Steatohepatitis, Fibrosis or Cholestatic Liver Injury

Mar 2026 DOI 10.14302/issn.2641-9181.ijnr-25-5844
Michael TraunerCorresponding author

A sequence variation (I148M) in the patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing protein 3 (PNPLA3) gene has been linked to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and the progression of MASLD and other chronic liver diseases towards fibrosis and cancer. To elucidate the rol…

The Effect of Aqueous Extract of Ocimum gratissium (Linn) on 1, 2 - Dimethyl Hydrazine induced Colon Cancer in Male Wistar Rats

Ugochukwu UmeakuCorresponding author

Background Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer death world-wide. There is a steady increase in incidence over the past four decades in developing countries. This has been partly attributed to increasingly low intake of vegetables among other causes. Aims Therefore this study aims to…

A Case Series of Resolving Vitreous Haemorrhage in the Setting of Diabetic Retinopathy

Jul 2019 DOI 10.14302/issn.2470-0436.jos-19-2904
Ronald Y. TiuCorresponding author

This case series presents 2 patients (67 and 58 year old females) with resolving vitreous hemorrhage in the setting of diabetic retinopathy. Both patients had around 50% of the retina still visible and the hemorrhage was confined at the posterior vitreous cavity near the retina, hence, a partial pan…

The use of Dermacell® in Fingertip Injury

Mar 2019 DOI 10.14302/issn.2641-5518.jcci-19-2626
Giampietro BertasiCorresponding author

Matrices or tissue scaffolds provide a collagen structure for tissue remodelling while the removal of viable cells aims to minimize or prevent inflammatory or immunogenic response. Allograft collagen scaffold can support the patient’s own cellular ingrowth, ingeneered to minimize an immune response…

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Narcolepsy: An Incidental Relationship?

Feb 2019 DOI 10.14302/issn.2574-4518.jsdr-18-2511
Karim SedkyCorresponding author

Ehlers Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a collagenic disease that has often been associated with different types of sleep disorders ranging from insomnia to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). EDS usually has associated fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness (ES), thus narcolepsy should be excluded as a cause.…

Changes in Rats’ Liver Structure Induced by Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and the Possible Protective Role of Vitamin E

Oct 2018 DOI 10.14302/issn.2577-2279.ijha-18-2384
Abdelmonem A. HegazyCorresponding author

Background: Oral ingestion of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) may lead to serious liver injury. Vitamin E (VE) is an important antioxidant factor that can reduce such damage. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the possible changes that could take place in the liver of adult male albino rats after o…

Assessment of Biofield Energy Healing Based Vitamin D3 Effects on Bone Health Parameters Using Human Osteoblast Cell Line (MG-63)

Aug 2018 DOI 10.14302/issn.2379-7835.ijn-18-2301
Snehasis JanaCorresponding author

Poor bone health is the primary health issue, which leads to significant health problems, stress and worsening the patients' quality of life. The potential of The Trivedi Effect®- Biofield Energy Healing on vitamin D3 as a test item (TI) and DMEM on MG-63 cells was investigated. The test items were…

Rita de Cassia StoccoCorresponding author

Introduction Bovine papillomavirus (BPV) is the etiological agent of bovine papillomatosis, infectious and neoplastic disease, characterized by the presence of multiple papillomas that can regress spontaneously or to persist and progress to malignancies when in association with environmental cofacto…

Acute and Chronic Wound Fluid Inversely Influence Wound Healing in an in-Vitro 3D Wound Model

Dec 2017 DOI 10.14302/issn.2640-6403.jtrr-17-1818
Manuela BesserCorresponding author University Witten/Herdecke, Centre for Biomedical Education and Research (ZBAF), Dpt. Of Translational Wound Research

If a wound progressively heals or the healing process is impaired is basically influenced by the surrounding milieu. This is reflected by the wound fluid. Its specific composition triggers the migration, proliferation and differentiation of dermal and epidermal cells which so far was not sufficientl…

Does a Controlled Diet Improve Cellulite?

Jul 2016 DOI 10.14302/issn.2379-7835.ijn-16-986
S YarakCorresponding author

Abstract: Several researchers have suggested that a targeted diet for reducing theadipose tissue may interfere with the severity of cellulite. Others emphasize that the diet composition seems to play a more relevant role than the calorie profile for weight loss and cellulite control. Objective: The…

W Zaidah ACorresponding author

Background Abnormalities of plasma von Willebrand Factor (vWF) system has been described in solid tumors but more information is required to understand the pathophysiological process in haematological malignancies. Objectives This study was carried out to investigate the changes in vWF-related param…

Etodolac, A Preferential COX-2 Inhibitor, does not Inhibit Platelet Aggregation in a Randomized Placebo-Controlled Trial

Jan 2013 DOI 10.14302/issn.2328-0182.japst-12-99
Wolfgang C KorteCorresponding author

To date, platelet aggregation studies have not been formally evaluated in persons receiving Etodolac, a preferential cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor. Our purpose was to investigate the influence of Etodolac in therapeutic (analgesic) doses (300 mg every 12h) on platelet aggregation as compared to…

Human Myxomatous Mitral Valves Exhibit Focal Expression of Cartilage-Related Proteins
