Low hydrogen sulphide and chronic kidney disease: a dangerous liaison.
Hydrogen sulphide, H(2)S, is a gaseous compound involved in a number of biological responses, e.g. blood pressure, vascular function and energy metabolism. In particular, H(2)S is able to lower blood pressure, protect from injury in models of ischaemia-reperfusion and induce a hypometabolic state. In chronic kidney disease (CKD), low plasma hydrogen sulphide levels have been established in huma...
متن کاملInfections and liver cirrhosis: a dangerous liaison
cause bacteremia. In patients with liver cirrhosis the increase of endotoxin, proinflammatory cytokines and nitric oxide levels alters the structure and permeability of the intestinal mucosa in patients with liver cirrhosis. Along with local impairment of immune system function in cirrhosis, decreased intestinal motility and increased permeability facilitate the passage of intestinal bacteria t...
متن کاملA Dangerous Liaison between Two Major Killers
With 2.9 million and 1.7 million deaths in 2000, the HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis , respectively, again top the infamous WHO list of excess deaths caused by infectious agents (1; Fig. 1). To further worsen the situation, these two pathogens do not operate independently. More than half a million of those who died last year were already coinfected with both pathogens and more than 50 millio...
متن کاملVaccination and autoimmunity-'vaccinosis': a dangerous liaison?
The question of a connection between vaccination and autoimmune illness (or phenomena) is surrounded by controversy. A heated debate is going on regarding the causality between vaccines, such as measles and anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV), and multiple sclerosis (MS). Brain antibodies as well as clinical symptoms have been found in patients vaccinated against those diseases. Other autoimmune illne...
متن کاملSmac Mimetics and TNFα: A Dangerous Liaison?
Inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) such as XIAP, cIAP1, and cIAP2 are upregulated in many cancer cells. It has been thought that small-molecule mimetics of Smac, an endogenous IAP antagonist, might potentiate apoptosis in cancer cells by promoting caspase activation. However, three recent papers, two in Cell (Vince et al., 2007; Varfolomeev et al., 2007) and one in Cancer Cell (Petersen et ...
