Inflammatory bowel disease appears to result from an abnormal host immune response to the intestinal microbiota. Experimental models have allowed the dissection of the complex dialogue between the host and its microbiota.
Here, we introduce the concept of MH and its relevance in IBD, and discuss the mechanisms of IBD and potential strategies for altering these processes for inducing MH.
Glucose homeostasis is controlled by endocrine pancreatic cells, and any pancreatic disturbance can result in diabetes. Because 8% to 12% of diabetic pregnant women present with malformed fetuses, there is great interest in understanding…
The purpose of the present study is to confirm the protective effect of berberine (BBR) on gastrointestinal injury caused by acute heavy alcohol exposure, an effect that has not been reported previously.
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), namely Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, are lifelong chronic disorders arising from interactions among genetic, immunological and environmental factors.
The intestinal epithelium—which constitutes the interface between the enteric microbiota and host tissues—actively contributes to the maintenance of mucosal homeostasis and defends against pathogenic microbes.
Laboratorně lze identifikovat celou řadu abnormalit na úrovni koagulačních faktorů, fibrinolýzy, trombocytů a endotelu. Ačkoliv nejsou k dispozici žádné systematické doporučené postupy prevence tromboembolické nemoci (TEN) u IBD…
PGD is considered in a similar fashion to prenatal diagnosis. When used to screen for a specific genetic disease, its main advantage is that it avoids selective abortion, as the method makes it highly likely that the baby will be free of the…
