Protective effects of prostaglandins against gastric mucosal damage: current knowledge and proposed mechanisms.
Recent evidence indicates that prostaglandins (PGs) possess potent gastric antiulcer properties independent of their known inhibitory effects on acid secretion. The mechanism underlying this cytoprotective property, as it has been called, has remained elusive. Although exogenously administered PGs can prevent disruption of the gastric mucosal barrier, enhance gastric mucosal blood flow, and sti...
متن کاملDefensive and Adaptive Mechanisms among Cancer Patients
The human body and mind have the particularity, in some cases, of providing us with extraordinary means to face life’s pitfalls. By that, we refer to the psychic defense and adaptive mechanisms. We know how to recognize these mechanisms among patients suffering from mental health problems and how to take them into consideration during our interventions. We associate them more commonly with seve...
متن کاملProstaglandins and mechanisms of preterm birth.
Increased uterine contractility at term and preterm results first from activation and then stimulation of the myometrium. Activation can be provoked by mechanical stretch of the uterus, and by an endocrine pathway resulting from increased activity of the fetal hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. In sheep fetuses, increased cortisol output during pregnancy regulates expression of prostaglandin ...
متن کاملOptimising the Release Order of Defensive Mechanisms
In the practical use of security mechanisms such as CAPTCHAs and spam filters, attackers and defenders exchange 'blows', each celebrating (temporary) success in breaking and defending. We are interested in the question of whether the order in which defensive algorithms are released has a significant impact on the time taken by attackers to break the combined set of algorithms. The rationale beh...
متن کاملEarly Defensive Mechanisms against Human Papillomavirus Infection.
Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women and is almost exclusively caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. HPV is also frequently associated with other cancers arising from mucosal epithelium, including anal and oropharyngeal cancers, which are becoming more common in both men and women. Viral persistence and progression through precancerous lesion stages are prerequisi...
