Abstract:
Background. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a soluble glycoprotein of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily, which was initially identified as a key regulator in bone turnover. It acts as a decoy receptor for the receptor activator of nuclear factor kB ligand (RANKL) and for the TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), counterbalancing their biological effects. OPG is produced by a wide range of tissues, including the cardiovascular system, and its levels are particularly high in aortic and renal arteries. Several studies have clearly demonstrated that the serum levels of OPG are

Abstract:
Chondroitin sulphate (CS) has been described as contributing to the barrier function of the urothelium by forming a glycosaminoglycan (GAG) layer. It has been suggested that a defect in this layer contributes to chronic inflammatory uropathies, and this forms the basis of medical device therapies purported to replace the GAG layer. A review of the literature questioned the evidence supporting these claims. This thesis set out to formulate a reproducible damage model using differentiated normal human urothelial (NHU) cells in vitro. Techniques employed to introduce damage included physical dama

<p>Football is the most popular sport in the world, and it continues to have a progressive annual increase in the number of active players and the number of games played per season, which in turn, leads to an increase in the frequency of injuries. Football is extensively researched worldwide, however, some current studies confirm that the results on football injury factors are limited, as well as inconsistent and incomplete. The main aim of this study was to examine interrelating factors of football injuries through the various age groups at a designated football club. The study aimed to expos

As a field, Behavior Analysis lacks an evidence based solution to assessing and treating language deficits in individuals with brain injuries. Research suggests that using direct instruction with persons with brain injuries is the most effective approach for teaching skills. Research on the PEAK Relational Training System suggests it may be applicable to adults with brain injuries because it does not have an age maximum and it assesses and trains complex language skills. The purpose of the current research is to determine the PEAK Relational Training System's potential applicability in assessi

We are still unable to effectively suppress neuropathic pain, therefore it remains a serious problem. Ghrelin, the orexigenic hormone released by enteroendocrine stomach cells, could contribute to alleviation of the neuropathic pain by its antinociceptive effect. Previous studies have shown that ghrelin prevents development of nociceptive symptoms of neuropathic pain. The aim of our study was to determine whether chronic administration of ghrelin will affect the already fully developed neuropathic pain and differentiate its antinociceptive and analgesic effect.
