Aldehyde dehydrogenase 1B1: Molecular cloning and characterization of a novel mitochondrial acetaldehyde-metabolizing enzyme
(2010)Ethanol-induced damage is largely attributed to its toxic metabolite, acetaldehyde. Clearance of acetaldehyde is achieved by its oxidation, primarily catalyzed by the mitochondrial class II aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2). ... -
Helicobacter pylori infection and gastric cancer biology: tempering a double-edged sword
(2019)Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection affects an estimated 4.4 billion people globally. Moreover, H. pylori presents the most significant risk factor for gastric cancer and low-grade mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue ... -
A meta-analysis evaluating the role of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) as a fourth treatment modality for patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer
(2022)Background: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) on patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. Methods: A literature search was performed in PubMed, Scopus and Cochrane ... -
A mixture of routinely encountered xenobiotics induces both redox adaptations and perturbations in blood and tissues of rats after a long-term low-dose exposure regimen: The time and dose issue
(2019)Exposure of humans to xenobiotic mixtures is a continuous state during their everyday routine. However, the majority of toxicological studies assess the in vivo effects of individual substances rather than mixtures. ... -
Pancreatic anti-GP2 and anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies in ruminants with paratuberculosis: A better understanding of the immunopathogenesis of Crohn's disease
(2020)Introduction: Ruminants (cattle and sheep) with Mycobacterium avium (MAP)-induced paratuberculosis (ptb), the ruminant model of Crohn's disease (CD), exhibit pancreatic specific autoantibodies (PAB) against GP2 but not ... -
Pancreatogastrostomy versus Pancreatojejunostomy: An Up-to-Date Meta-Analysis of RCTs
(2017)Background. A meta-analysis was conducted in order to provide an up-to-date comparison of pancreatogastrostomy (PG) and pancreatojejunostomy (PJ), after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD), in terms of clinically significant ... -
A proteome-wide immuno-mass spectrometric identification of serum autoantibodies
(2019)Background: Autoantibodies are produced when tolerance to self-antigens is broken and they can be mediators of tissue injury and systemic inflammation. They are excellent biomarkers because they are minimally invasive to ... -
Role of Hyperglycemia in Isogeneic Islet Transplantation: An Experimental Animal Study
(2008)Objective: Study the role of hyperglycemia-induced beta cell loss on grafted islet destruction. Design: Male inbred rats were made diabetic by streptozotocin administration and used as islet donors and/or isograft recipients ... -
Serum feline pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity and trypsin-like immunoreactivity concentrations in cats with experimentally induced chronic kidney disease
(2021)Background: Serum feline pancreatic lipase immunoreactivity (fPLI) and trypsin-like immunoreactivity (fTLI) concentrations are commonly used in cats for the evaluation of pancreatic disease. The effect of kidney disease ...
