Cholangiocarcinoma: epidemiology, mechanisms of carcinogenesis and prevention.
Cholangiocarcinoma is a relatively rare cancer; worldwide it accounts for an estimated 15% of liver cancers. In most areas, the etiology is rather obscure, and identified risk factors such as hepatolithiasis, inflammatory bowel disease, and exposure to Thorotrast can account for only a small proportion of cases. In certain areas of southeast and eastern Asia, however, incidence rates are very h...
متن کاملCapsaicin Treatment Attenuates Cholangiocarcinoma Carcinogenesis
UNLABELLED Capsaicin, the most abundant pungent molecule produced by pepper plants, represents an important ingredient in spicy foods consumed throughout the world. Studies have shown that capsaicin can relieve inflammation and has anti-proliferative effects on various human malignancies. Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) is a cancer disease with rising incidence. The prognosis remains dismal with little...
متن کاملPathogenetic mechanisms in APS
Antiphospholipid syndrome is diagnosed when arterial or venous thrombosis or recurrent miscarriages occur in a person in whom laboratory tests for antiphospholipid antibodies (anticardiolipin antibodies and/or lupus anticoagulant and/or anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I) are positive. Despite the strong association between antiphospholipid antibodies and thrombosis, their pathogenic role in the develo...
متن کاملPathogenetic mechanisms of atopic dermatitis.
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease which results from complex interactions between genetic and environmental mechanisms. An altered lipid composition of the stratum corneum is responsible for the xerotic aspect of the skin and determines a higher permeability to allergens and irritants. Keratinocytes of AD patients exhibit a propensity to an exaggerated production of cytok...
متن کاملPathogenetic mechanisms of amyloid A amyloidosis.
Systemic amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is a serious complication of chronic inflammation. Serum AA protein (SAA), an acute phase plasma protein, is deposited extracellularly as insoluble amyloid fibrils that damage tissue structure and function. Clinical AA amyloidosis is typically preceded by many years of active inflammation before presenting, most commonly with renal involvement. Using dose-dep...
