Peptic Ulcer at the End of the 20th Century: Biological and Psychological Risk Factors by Susan Levenstein

“…Psychosocial factors seem to be particularly prominent among idiopathic or complicated ulcers, but they are probably operative in run of the mill H pylori disease as well, either through additive effects or by facilitating the spread of the organism across the pylorus, while gastrointestinal damage by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs can also be potentiated by stress. …”

Inhibition of TNF-α and JNK Signaling Pathway Can Reduce Paclitaxel-Induced Apoptosis of Mouse Cardiomyocytes by Shuang Ren, Tianwen Huang, Danyan Ou, Luhuai Feng, Sisi Huang, Chaonan Zhou, Lianying Ge

“…In this study, we initially injected PTX into mice to establish a myocardial cell apoptosis model to observe the degree of damage to mouse myocardium caused by PTX. Upon determining the levels of mouse myocardial creatine phosphokinase (CK), myokinase isoenzyme (CK-MB), aspartate transaminase (AST), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), we found that all of these levels showed apparent increases in mice treated with PTX. …”

Radio-protective effects of ultra-fine bubble hydrogen water and serum protein responses in whole-body radiation-exposed mice by Masaru Yamaguchi, Khin Thandar Htun, Youta Tatara, Yoshiaki Sato, Masato Hosoda, Suchart Kothan, Chikashi Kamimura, Osamu Inanami, Ikuo Kashiwakura

“…Twenty-six serum proteins involved in inflammatory and immune responses were significantly identified in UBHW-fed mice by proteomics, and UBHW may enhance and regulate these functions, resulting in reduced damage in mice exposed to WBI. We conclude that UBHW has good potential in radio-protection, with evidence that warrants further research efforts in this field.…”
