Persistent Complement Activation is Associated with Insulin Resistance and Chronic Inflammation in Overweight Patients with Type 2 Diabetes with Dyslipidemia

Takayuki Fujita, Yusuke Murata, Seiichiro Hemmi, Mamiko Kajiwara, Minako Yabuki, Yoshinobu Fuke, Atsushi Satomura and Masayoshi Soma

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: March 31, 2015

Insulin resistance is a major player in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. C3 converts to C3a and acylation stimulating protein (ASP) by complement activation. ASP activates adipose tissue macrophages and accelerates continuous inflammation. Tissuebound C3a is known to induce insulin resistance. We examined the relationship between insulin resistance and complement activation by the in vivo alteration of ASP....

Metastatic Gallbladder Cancer Masquerading as Primary Colon Malignancy

Zhifei Sun, Jonathan Galeotti, Shannon McCall and Christopher R. Mantyh

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: March 28, 2015

We report a 69-year-old female with personal history of gallbladder cancer who was referred to our institution with a circumferential obstructing intra-luminal colonic mass that possessed pathological features common to both primary colorectal as well as gallbladder cancer, which posed a significant diagnostic and treatment challenge. This case reviews the method and rationale for arriving at the final diagnosis of gallbladder cancer metastasis and highlights the importance of modern molecular d...

The Relationship between Psychoactive Drugs, the Brain and Psychosis

Sutapa Basu and Deeptanshu Basu

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: March 26, 2015

This paper explores the interaction between four psychoactive drugs, namely MDMA (Ecstasy), Cocaine, Methamphetamine and LSD, with neurotransmitters in the brain with the aim of understanding what links exist between these drugs and Psychosis. The paper aims to go beyond existing research on drugs and psychosis which has been primarily limited to cannabis (Marijuana) and psychosis. The findings and conclusions drawn show that all the drugs explored have the potential to induce psychosis in abuse...

Logistic Regression to Assess Risk Factors in Offspring from Brazilian Families with Alcohol and Drug Problems

Roberta Paya, Luca Gomes Santoro, Denise Leite Vieira and Neliana Buzi Figlie

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: March 26, 2015

A case-control study was conducted with a convenience sample; the participants were paired by sex and age. Three hundred five families with children and adolescents (4-18 years of age) were evaluated; 60% (n=183) were in the study group, and 40% (n=122) were in the control group. In the study group, 73% (n=133) of the families had fathers with drinking problems and 27% (n=50) had fathers with illicit poly-drug addiction....

Preliminary Study of Expression of KL-6, FGF-10 and MMP-9 in the Primary Spontaneous Pneumothorax

Jinxin Cao, Jinbai Miao and Hui Li

Article Type: Research Article | First Published: April 03, 2015

Pathogenesis of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is unclear and has been rarely reported in the literature. Thus, we measured expression of Krebs Vonden Lungen-6 (KL-6), firoblast growth factor-10 (FGF-10), and matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in PSP samples and evaluated their significance on the development and progress of the disease....

International Journal of Respiratory and Pulmonary Medicine - A New Place to Publish Basic and Clinical Lung Research

Haibin Wang

Article Type: Editorial | First Published: April 02, 2015

It is true that pulmonary medicine is already well served by several specialist journals, but it is also true that it remains difficult to publish the overwhelming amount of research articles in this rapidly growing field. This is particularly the case for the researchers from the developing countries, who contribute only a limited proportion to the total research output published in leading medical journals....

Community Acquired Pneumonia

Sonia Akter

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: March 21, 2015

Community-acquired pneumonia is defined as an acute infection of the pulmonary parenchyma in a patient who has acquired the infection in the community. CAP remains a common and potentially serious illness. It is associated with considerable morbidity, mortality and treatment cost, particularly in elderly patients. CAP causes problems like difficulty in breathing, fever, chest pains, and cough....

Effect of Sevoflurane and Desflurane on Erythrocyte Deformability during Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury of Lower Extremity in Diabetic Rats

Muhammed Enes Aydin, Meral Erdal Erbatur, Faruk Metin Comu and Mustafa Arslan

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: March 28, 2015

It is known that blood viscosity and erythrocyte aggregation are increased and erythrocyte deformability is decreased in diabetic patients. Ischemia reperfusion injury (I/R) in lower extremity is a frequent and important clinical phenomenon. Blood rheology is known to be affected by numerous factor including anaesthetic drugs. Accordingly, we aimed to investigate the effects of sevoflurane and desflurane on erythrocyte deformability in infrarenal aorta of diabetic rats undergoing I/R....

A Critical Review of Steroid Immunotherapy in Kidney Transplantation

Oluwatoyin Bamgbola

Article Type: Review Article | First Published: March 21, 2015

Steroid immunosuppression has maintained a long-lasting relevance in renal transplantation. In addition to its role in preserving allograft survival, it is often the fist line agent in the rescue treatment of acute rejection events. Its major drawbacks include metabolic adverse effects and long-term cardiovascular morbidities. Motivated by the need to avoid growth impairment, pediatric renal transplant community provided a template for steroid minimization strategy....

Nitric Oxide Attenuates Hypoxia-Induced 5-FU Resistance of Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cells

Eri Sasabe, Ayumi Tomomura, Mayuko Hamada, Naoya Kitamura, Tomohiro Yamada and Tetsuya Yamamoto

Article Type: Original Article | First Published: March 16, 2015

Hypoxic environments in tumors induce expression of hypoxiainducible factor (HIF). HIF contributes to the development of the malignant progression through the induction of various target genes. We previously reported that treatment with chemotherapeutic drugs and γ-rays enhances expression and nuclear translocation of HIF-1α under normoxic conditions; susceptibility of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells to the drugs and γ-rays is negatively correlated with expression of HIF...
