Successful treatment of chromoblastomycosis caused by Fonsecaea pedrosoi using imiquimod
(Journal of Dermatology, 2020) [Artigo]Chromoblastomycosis (CBM) is a fungal infection caused by fungi belonging to the order Chaetothyriales, and caused mainly by Fonsecaea pedrosoi. The classic treatment, based on itraconazole and/or terbinafine as well as ... -
Bilateral canine seminoma with ocular metastasis: Histochemical and immunohistochemical characterization
(Brazilian Journal of Veterinary Pathology, 2020) [Artigo]A 10-year old male dog was examined due to a buphthalmia in the left eye and a nodule in the two testicles. Due to the limited resources of the owner and loss of visual acuity of the patient, the enucleation and castration ... -
The combination of coffee compounds attenuates early fibrosis-associated hepatocarcinogenesis in mice: involvement of miRNA profile modulation
(Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry, 2020) [Artigo]Aberrant microRNA expression implicates on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development. Conversely, coffee consumption reduces by ~40% the risk for fibrosis/cirrhosis and HCC, while decaffeinated coffee does not. It is ... -
Capsaicin lacks tumor-promoting effects during colon carcinogenesis in a rat model induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine
(Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2020) [Artigo]Capsaicin (CPS, 8-methyl-N-vanillyl-trans-6-nonenamide), a pungent alkaloid from chili peppers, has contradictory effects in both experimental and human carcinogenesis. Thus, we evaluated the modifying effects of chronic ... -
Inflammation, but not infection, induces EMT in human amnion epithelial cells
(Reproduction (Cambridge, England), 2020) [Artigo]A non-reversible state of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) at term accumulates proinflammatory mesenchymal cells and predisposes fetal membrane to weakening prior to delivery at term. We investigated the induction ... -
Oxidative stress monitoring in in vitro and in vivo models
(Role of Oxidative Stress in Pathophysiology of Diseases, 2020) [Capítulo de livro]In aerobic organisms, cellular respiration is an essential process that is divided into several steps. The third and last step is called oxidative phosphorylation, which occurs in the mitochondria, specifically in the inner ... -
