Oral administration of curcumin (curcuma Longa) can attenuate the neutrophil inflammatory response in zymosan-induced arthritis in rats

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of curcumin in the acute phase of zymosan-induced arthritis.METHODS: Twenty-eight male rats were subjected to intra-articular infiltration of zymosan of both knees and, in four the infiltration was made with saline. The animals were divided into five groups second received every six hours by gavage: corn oil by (positive and negative control); curcumin (100 mg/kg); prednisone 1 mg/kg/day; prednisone 8 mg/kg. All animals were sacrificed after six, 12, 24 and 48 hours of the infiltration. The knees were removed for evaluation of neutrophil infiltration. The number of neutrophils was counted by computer-assisted analysis of the images. The neutrophil infiltrate was stratified into four grades: 0 = normal; + = mild; ++/+++ = moderate; > ++++ = severe. The results were compared using the Mann-Whitney test and the variance by Kruskal-Wallis test adopting a significance level of 5% (p<0.05).RESULTS: Curcumin reduces inflammatory activity in the first six hours after zymosan-induced arthritis when compared to saline (p<0.01). This was also observed in animals subjected to administration of prednisone (1 mg/kg) and those treated with prednisone (8 mg/kg). Curcumin was more effective than lower doses of prednisone in the first six hours after induction of the arthritis. After 12, 24 and 48 hours, curcumin does not have the same anti-inflammatory effects when compared to prednisone. After 48 hours, prednisone is more effective than curcumin in reducing the inflammatory infiltrate regardless of the dose of prednisone used.CONCLUSION: Oral administration of curcumin reduces inflammation in the first six hours after experimentally zymosan-induced arthritis.To evaluate the effect of curcumin in the acute phase of zymosan-induced arthritis.METHODS: Twenty-eight male rats were subjected to intra-articular infiltration of zymosan of both knees and, in four the infiltration was made with saline.

Oxidative Stress And Changes In The Content And Pattern Of Tissue Expression Of β-catenin Protein In Diversion Colitis

Objective: The aim of this study is to verify if oxidative stress is related to changes in content and pattern of β-catenin protein expression in an experimental model of diversion colitis. Methods: Sixty Wistar rats were submitted to intestinal bypass. The animals were divided into three groups according to the sacrifice to take place in six, 12 and 18 weeks. For each group, five animals only underwent laparotomy (control). The presence of colitis was diagnosed by histological study, and its severity, by inflammation grading scale. Cellular oxidative stress was measured by comet assay. Tissue expression of β-catenin protein was analyzed by the immunohistochemistry and quantification of its tissue content by computerized morphometry. Statistical analysis was performed with the Student's t-test, median, Mann-Whitney, ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis, adopting a significance level of 5% (p <0.05). Results: Colon segments without fecal stream developed colitis, which worsened with time of exclusion. Segments without fecal stream suffer higher levels of oxidative stress when compared to those with stream, and it worsens with time of exclusion. The levels of cellular oxidative stress are directly related to the degree of inflammation. The total content of β-catenin in segments without fecal stream reduces after six weeks, and does not vary thereafter. The content of β-catenin in the apical portion of the colon crypts decreases with time, whereas in the basal region, it increases. The total content of β-catenin is inversely related to the degree of inflammation and levels of tissue oxidative stress levels. Conclusion: There are changes in tissue content of E-cadherin and increased expression of β-catenin in proliferative regions of colonic crypts, related with oxidative tissue stress.324343358Pravda, J., Radical induction theory of ulcerative colitis (2005) World J Gastroenterol, 11 (16), pp. 2371-2384Gaudier, E., Hoebler, C., Physiological role of mucins in the colonic barrier integrity (2006) Gastroenterol Clin Biol, 30 (8-9), pp. 965-974Laukoetter, M.G., Nava, P., Nusrat, A., Role of the intestinal barrier in inflammatory bowel disease (2008) World J Gastroenterol, 14 (3), pp. 401-407Berkes, J., Viswananthan, V.K., Savkovic, S.D., Hecht, G., Intestinal epithelial responses to enteric pathogens: Effects on the tight junction barrier, iron transport, and inflammation (2003) Gut, 52 (3), pp. 439-451Clayburgh, D.R., Shen, L., Turner, J.R., A porous defense: The leaky epithelial barrier in intestinal disease (2004) Lab Invest, 84 (3), pp. 282-291Usami, Y., Chiba, H., Nakayama, F., Ueda, J., Matsuda, Y., Sawada, N., Reduced expression of claudin-7 correlates with invasion and metastasis in squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus (2006) Hum Pathol, 37 (5), pp. 569-577Gumbiner, B., Stevenson, B., Grimaldi, A., The role of the cell adhesion molecule uvomorulin in the formation and maintenance of the epithelial junctional complex (1988) J Cell Biol, 107 (4), pp. 1575-1587Gumbiner, B.M., McCrea, P.D., Catenins as mediators of the cytoplasmic functions of cadherins (1993) J Cell Sci Suppl, 17, pp. 155-158Yeager, M., Unger, V.M., Falk, M.M., Synthesis, assembly and structure of gap junction intercellular channels (1998) Curr Opin Struct Biol, 8 (6), pp. 810-811Hynes, R.O., Zhao, Q., The evolution of cell adhesion (2000) J Cell Biol, 150 (2), pp. F89-F96Kypta, R., Bernfield, M., Burridge, K., Geiger, B., Goodenough, D., Humphries, M., Hynes, R., Yurchenco, P., Junções celulares, adesão celular e matriz extracelular (2006) Biologia Molecular Da Célula, pp. 1065-1125. , In: Alberts B, Johnson A, Lewis J, Raff M, Roberts K, Walter P.

Adoção de técnicas laparoscópicas em ressecções colorretais entre cirurgiões brasileiros. Fatores limitantes que afetam a incorporação na prática diária

Routine adoption of laparoscopy in clinical practice and Medical Residency has not been widely evaluated in Brazil so far. Aim: To take an overview on the adoption and limitations concerning the use of laparoscopic techniques among Brazilian colorectal surgeons. Methods: A questionnaire was sent to 1870 SBCP filiated members, containing personal and professional data such as sex, age, length and local of practice, SBCP filliation, number of procedures, treatment of cancer and laparoscopy limitations. Results: 418 members (22.4%) sent their response (80% men and 20% women). 110 members (26.3%) affirmed they don't perform any laparoscopic procedure, while 308 (73.7%) have already adopted laparoscopy as a routine. An average number of 7.6 laparoscopic colorectal procedures were declared to be performed per month (1 to 40 procedures). Laparoscopic adoption rates were favourably influenced by young age members (46% vs. 28%) and affiliation to University hospitals (p = 0.01). Conversely, surgeons from private clinic showed a greater tendency of no adoption. Among the 308 responders, 106 (34.4%) have already surpassed more than 100 laparoscopic cases, and 167 (54.2%) reported an experience of more than 50 operated patients. The group of surgeons not using minimally invasive techniques incriminated lack of training (73.6%) and laparoscopic instruments availability (27.3%) as the main reasons for no adoption. Conclusions: Adoption rate of laparoscopic techniques to treat colorectal diseases is still low (at least 17%). Future efforts should focus on providing supervised training, proctorship during the initial experience and help instrumental acquisition in centers willing to change their routine and perspectives3912732sem informaçãoDurante as últimas décadas, a incorporação de técnicas minimamente invasivas no tratamento de doenças colorretais testemunhou um progresso lento e firme, principalmente após o reconhecimento da segurança oncológica e melhor evolução. A adoção rotineira na prática clínica e na Residência Médica no Brasil ainda não amplamente avaliada até agora. O presente estudo visou avaliar a adoção e as limitações relativas ao uso de técnicas laparoscópicas entre cirurgiões colorretais brasileiros. Um questionário foi enviado a 1870 membros filiados à Sociedade Brasileira de Coloproctologia (SBCP) em 2006. As questões foram enviadas por email, incluindo dados pessoais (sexo, idade) e profissionais (tempo e local de prática, filiação à SBCP, número mensal de procedimentos laparoscópicos, tratamento de câncer e limitações para realizar laparoscopia na rotina. Entre os 1870 membros, 418 (22.4%) mandaram sua resposta, com uma maior participaçãoo de homens (80%) em comparação às mulheres (20%). A idade média foi de 43 (28–80) anos. A distribuição entre membros titulares e não titulares foi semelhantes (48% vs. 52%). As atividades profissionais foram desenvolvidas em clínica privada (84%), hospitais privados (73%), hospitais públicos (50%) e hospitais universitários (53%). Entre os que responderam (418), 110 (26.3%) não realizavam procedimentos laparoscópicos, enquanto 308 (73.7%) já haviam adotado o acesso laparoscópico rotineiramente na prática clínica. Um número médio de 7.6 procedimentos colorretais laparoscópicos são realizados por mês (1–40). Cerca de 13% dos cirurgiões iniciaram sua experiência laparoscópica diretamente com procedimentos colorretais, enquanto a maioria (87%) começaram por outros procedimentos no trato digestivo. A adoção da laparoscopia foi positivamente influenciada pela idade jovem dos membros (46% vs. 28%) e pela filiação a hospitais universitários (p = 0,01). Inversamente, cirurgiões trabalhando na prática privada demonstraram uma menor tendência em adotar o método. A maioria dos cirurgiões (93%) que adoraram a laparoscopia afirmou incluir pacientes com câncer colorretal em suas indicações operatórias. Entre os que responderam 106 (34,4%) já realizaram mais de 100 procedimentos laparoscópicos, e 167 (54,2%) reportaram experiência maior que 50 casos. Dentre aqueles que não adotaram técnicas minimamente invasivas, a falta de treinamento (73,6%) ou a indisponibilidade de instrumental laparoscópico (27,3%) foram incriminadas como os principais fatores limitantes. O índice de adoção de técnicas laparoscópicas no tratamento de doenças intestinais ainda é baixo (pelo menos 17%) entre cirurgiões colorretais brasileiros. Esforços futuros de nossa Sociedade Médica devem focar na provisão de treinamento supervisionado, na criação de oportunidades para preceptoria durante a experiência inicial e na obtenção de instrumental em centros que queiram mudar sua rotina e perspectivassem informaçã

Evaluation Of The Expression Of The Mgmt Gene In Normal And Neoplastic Tissue Of Patients With Colorectal Cancer [avaliação Da Expressão Do Gene Mgmt Nos Tecidos Normal E Neoplásico De Doentes Com Câncer Colorretal]

Objective: To evaluate the expression of tissue repair gene MGMT by comparing normal and neoplastic colonic mucosa in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods: We studied 44 patients with colorectal cancer confirmed by histopathology. We excluded patients suspected of belonging to families with hereditary colorectal cancer (HNPCC and FAP) and patients with cancer of the lower or medium rectum treated with neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy. The MGMT gene expression was assessed by the technique of polymerase chain reaction in real time (RT-PCR). The comparison of results for MGMT gene expression between normal and neoplastic tissues was made by paired Student's t test, adopting a significance level of 5% (p A:T transitions (2005) Gut, 54 (6), pp. 797-802Zaidi, N.H., Pretlow, T.P., O'Riordan, M.A., Dumenco, L.L., Allay, E., Gerson, S.L., Transgenic expression of human MGMT protects against azoxymethane-induced aberrant crypt foci and G to A mutations in the K-ras oncogene of mouse colon (1995) Carcinogenesis., 16 (3), pp. 451-456Qian, X.C., Brent, T.P., Methylation hot spots in the 5' flanking region denote silencing of the O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase gene (1997) Cancer Res., 57 (17), pp. 3672-3677Esteller, M., Risques, R.A., Toyota, M., Capella, G., Moreno, V., Peinado, M.A., Promoter hypermethylation of the DNA repair gene O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase is associated with the presence of G:C to A:T transition mutations in p53 in human colorectal tumorigenisis (2001) Cancer Res., 61 (12), pp. 4689-4692Esteller, M., Toyota, M., Sanchez-Cespedes, M., Capella, G., Peinado, M.A., Watkins, D.N., Inactivation of the DNA repair gene O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase by promoter hypermethylation is associated with G to A mutations in K-ras in colorectal tumorigenisis (2000) Cancer Res., 60 (9), pp. 2368-2371Qi, J., Zhu, Y.Q., Huang, M.F., Yang, D., Hypermethylation of CpG island in O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase gene was associated with K-ras G to A mutation in colorectal tumor (2005) World J Gastroenterol, 11 (13), pp. 2022-2025Martinez, C.A.R., Priolli, D.G., Cardinalli, I.A., Pereira, J.A., Portes, A.V., Margarido, N.F., Influência da localização do tumor na expressão tecidual da proteína p53 em doentes com câncer colorretal: Estudo de 100 casos (2008) Rev Col Bras Cir., 35 (4), pp. 235-243Sanchez de Abajo, A., de la Hoya, M., van Puijenbroek, M., Godino, J., Díaz-Rubio, E., Morreau, H., Dual role of LOH at MMR loci in hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer?
