Anticancer and anti-inflammatory activities of girinimbine isolated from .

Drug design, development and therapy
Therapy that directly targets apoptosis and/or inflammation could be highly effective for the treatment of cancer. is an edible herb that has been traditionally used for cancer treatment as well as inflammation. Here, we describe that girinimbine, a...

TNF-α increases in the CSF of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia before CNS relapse.

Blood cells, molecules & diseases
There is scarce information regarding the concentration of cytokines in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and their clinical association with CNS status. A prospective analysis of 40 patients <18years with ...

Cytokine Changes following Acute Ethanol Intoxication in Healthy Men: A Crossover Study.

Mediators of inflammation
Alcohol is a known modulator of the innate immune system. Owing to the absence of human studies, alcohol's effect on circulating cytokine profile remains unclear. We investigated the effect of acute high dose alcohol consumption on systemic cytokine ...

Robot-assisted mechanical therapy attenuates stroke-induced limb skeletal muscle injury.

FASEB journal : official publication of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology
The efficacy and optimization of poststroke physical therapy paradigms is challenged in part by a lack of objective tools available to researchers for systematic preclinical testing. This work represents a maiden effort to develop a robot-assisted me...

Comparison of inflammatory responses following robotic and open colorectal surgery: a prospective study.

International journal of colorectal disease
PURPOSE: Robotic colorectal surgery continues to rise in popularity, but there remains little evidence on the stress response following the procedure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inflammatory response to robotic colorectal surgery and c...

Selenium supplementation has beneficial and detrimental effects on immunity to influenza vaccine in older adults.

Clinical nutrition (Edinburgh, Scotland)
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Mortality resulting from influenza (flu) virus infections occurs primarily in the elderly through declining immunity. Studies in mice have suggested beneficial effects of selenium (Se) supplementation on immunity to flu but similar...

Beneficial effects of Bifidobacterium lactis on lipid profile and cytokines in patients with metabolic syndrome: A randomized trial. Effects of probiotics on metabolic syndrome.

Nutrition (Burbank, Los Angeles County, Calif.)
OBJECTIVE: Human studies have shown the beneficial effects of probiotic microorganisms on the parameters of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and other cardiovascular risks, but to our knowledge the effect of Bifidobacterium lactis has not yet been reported....

Muscle damage and immune responses to prolonged exercise in environmental extreme conditions.

The Journal of sports medicine and physical fitness
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate the effect of prolonged exercise with and without a thermal clamp on leukocyte cell, stress hormones, cytokine and muscle damage responses.

Effects of xenoestrogens in human M1 and M2 macrophage migration, cytokine release, and estrogen-related signaling pathways.

Environmental toxicology
Bisphenol A (BPA), bis(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) and di(n-butyl)phthalate (DBP) are environmental estrogens that have been associated with a wide range of adverse health outcomes for which inflammation has also been hypothesized as a potentially ...

Machine learning methods enable predictive modeling of antibody feature:function relationships in RV144 vaccinees.

PLoS computational biology
The adaptive immune response to vaccination or infection can lead to the production of specific antibodies to neutralize the pathogen or recruit innate immune effector cells for help. The non-neutralizing role of antibodies in stimulating effector ce...
