Informational Masking in Normal-Hearing and Hearing-Impaired Listeners Measured in a Nonspeech Pattern Identification Task: Individuals with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) often experience more difficulty with listening in multisource environments than do normal-hearing (NH) listeners. While the peripheral effects of sensorineural hearing loss certainly contribute to this difficulty, differences in central processing of auditory information may also contribute. To explore this issue, it is important to account for peripheral differences between NH and these hearing-impaired (HI)... περισσότερα »

Automated quantification of proliferation with automated hot-spot selection in phosphohistone H3/MART1 dual-stained stage I/II melanoma

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοΟγκολογίαΠριν από 24 δευτερόλεπτα
Abstract Background Staging of melanoma includes quantification of a proliferation index, i.e., presumed melanocytic mitoses of H&amp;E stains are counted manually in hot spots. Yet, its reproducibility and prognostic impact increases by immunohistochemical dual staining for phosphohistone H3 (PHH3) and MART1, which also may enable fully automated quantification by image analysis. To ensure manageable workloads and repeatable measurements in modern pathology, the study aimed to present an automated quantification of proliferation with automated hot-spot selection in PHH3/MART1-stained ... περισσότερα »

Physiology of Taste Disorders

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοOtoRhinoLaryngology - Alexandros G. SfakianakisΠριν από 41 δευτερόλεπτα
Physiology of Taste Disorders: AbstractTaste is integrated with retronasal olfaction in the brain to form flavor. Taste nerves are vulnerable to peripheral damage (e.g., otitis media, tonsillectomy, head injury, chemotherapy, radiotherapy), which can affect other oral sensations because of central interactions. Inhibition exerted by taste input governs this process, but individual differences make whole-mouth outcomes of regional nerve damage extremely variable: some individuals are unaffected, others experience severe loss, and some encounter intensified sensations that may elevat... περισσότερα »

Molecular Markers of Fibro-Osseous Lesions and Osteosarcomas of the Craniofacial Complex—Current Situation and Recent Advances

Abstract Fibro-osseous lesions share clinical, radiological, and pathological features, particularly in the craniofacial complex, a location where diagnosing these lesions is challenging. Some molecular markers involved in the pathogenesis of these lesions offer significant diagnostic support. Guanine nucleotide-binding protein/alpha subunit (GNAS) mutations are specific to fibrous dysplasias and are not encountered in ossifying fibromas (including […]

Molecular Signaling in Benign Odontogenic Neoplasia Pathogenesis

Abstract Several molecular pathways have been shown to play critical roles in the pathogenesis of odontogenic tumors. These neoplasms arise from the epithelial or mesenchymal cells of the dental apparatus in the jaw or oral mucosa. Next-generation genomic sequencing has identified gene mutations or single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with many of these tumors. In this […]

Benign Odontogenic Tumors: Origins, Immunophenotypic Features, and Genetic Alterations

Abstract Odontogenic tumors are lesions derived from the epithelial and/or mesenchymal elements of the tooth-forming apparatus and are therefore found within the jaw bone or soft tissue overlying teeth. These tooth development-associated tumors are generally benign, but several odontogenic tumors are capable of aggressive growth and locally invasive behavior with a high rate of recurrence. […]

Dietary flaxseed oil and fish oil ameliorates renal oxidative stress, protein glycation, and inflammation in streptozotocin–nicotinamide-induced diabetic rats

Abstract Protective and prophylactic effects of omega-3 fatty acids on oxidative stress and inflammation are well known. We assessed beneficial effects of flaxseed oil and fish oil on streptozotocin (65 mg/kg; i.p.)–nicotinamide (110 mg/kg; i.p.) induced diabetic rats by studying renal expression of antioxidant and inflammatory genes. Diabetic rats given 10 % flaxseed oil or […]

Diabetes-induced perturbations are subject to intergenerational transmission through maternal line

Abstract The hypothesis of fetal origins of adult disease states that early life events program the occurrence of significant adult diseases, including diabetes and obesity. Maternal diabetes is associated with general stress environment for developing fetus, and gestational diabetes is an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome in offspring. Intra-uterine fetal […]

Electrolyte transport properties in distal small airways from cystic fibrosis pigs with implications for host defense

While pathological and clinical data suggest that small airways are involved in early cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease development, little is known about how the lack of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) function contributes to disease pathogenesis in these small airways. Large and small airway epithelia are exposed to different airflow velocities, temperatures, humidity, […]

Generation and functional characterization of epithelial cells with stable expression of SLC26A9 Cl- channels

Recent studies identified the SLC26A9 Cl– channel as a modifier and potential therapeutic target in cystic fibrosis (CF).

Electrolyte transport properties in distal small airways from cystic fibrosis pigs with implications for host defense

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοEvolutionary PhysiologyΠριν από 1 ώρα
While pathological and clinical data suggest that small airways are involved in early cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease development, little is known about how the lack of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) function contributes to disease pathogenesis in these small airways. Large and small airway epithelia are exposed to different airflow velocities, temperatures, humidity, and CO2 concentrations. The cellular composition of these two regions is different, and small airways lack submucosal glands. To better understand the ion transport properties and impact... περισσότερα »

Generation and functional characterization of epithelial cells with stable expression of SLC26A9 Cl- channels

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοEvolutionary PhysiologyΠριν από 1 ώρα
Recent studies identified the SLC26A9 Cl– channel as a modifier and potential therapeutic target in cystic fibrosis (CF). However, understanding of the regulation of SLC26A9 in epithelia remains limited and cellular models with stable expression for biochemical and functional studies are missing. We, therefore, generated Fisher rat thyroid (FRT) epithelial cells with stable expression of HA-tagged SLC26A9 via retroviral transfection and characterized SLC26A9 expression and function using Western blotting, immunolocalization, whole cell patch-clamp, and transepithelial bioelectric ... περισσότερα »

Gene expression profile of angiogenic factors in pulmonary arteries in COPD: relationship with vascular remodeling

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοEvolutionary PhysiologyΠριν από 1 ώρα
Pulmonary vessel remodeling in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) involves changes in smooth muscle cell proliferation, which are highly dependent on the coordinated interaction of angiogenic-related growth factors. The purpose of the study was to investigate, in isolated pulmonary arteries (PA) from patients with COPD, the gene expression of 46 genes known to be modulators of the angiogenic process and/or involved in smooth muscle cell proliferation and to relate it to vascular remodeling. PA segments were isolated from 29 patients and classified into tertiles, accordin... περισσότερα »

Electrophysiological characterization of voltage-dependent calcium currents and TRPV4 currents in human pulmonary fibroblasts

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοEvolutionary PhysiologyΠριν από 1 ώρα
We have presented indirect evidence of a key role for voltage-dependent Ca2+ currents in TGFβ-induced synthetic function in human pulmonary fibroblast (HPF), as well as in bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. Others, however, have provided indirect evidence for transient receptor potential vanilloid 4 (TRPV4) channels in both of those effects. Unfortunately, definitive electrophysiological descriptions of both currents in HPFs have been entirely lacking. In this study, we provide the first direct electrophysiological and pharmacological evidence of the currents in HPFs at... περισσότερα »

Targeting host calpain proteases decreases influenza A virus infection

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοEvolutionary PhysiologyΠριν από 1 ώρα
Influenza A viruses (IAV) trigger contagious acute respiratory diseases. A better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of IAV pathogenesis and host immune responses is required for the development of more efficient treatments of severe influenza. Calpains are intracellular proteases that participate in diverse cellular responses, including inflammation. Here, we used in vitro and in vivo approaches to investigate the role of calpain signaling in IAV pathogenesis. Calpain expression and activity were found altered in IAV-infected bronchial epithelial cells. With the use of sma... περισσότερα »

FGF9 and FGF18 in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis promote survival and migration and inhibit myofibroblast differentiation of human lung fibroblasts in vitro

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοEvolutionary PhysiologyΠριν από 1 ώρα
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is characterized by an accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins and fibroblasts in the distal airways. Key developmental lung signaling pathways are reactivated in IPF. For instance, fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) and FGF18, involved in epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, are critical for lung development. We evaluated the expression of FGF9, FGF18, and FGF receptors (FGFRs) in lung tissue from controls and IPF patients and assessed their effect on proliferation, survival, migration, and differentiation of control and IPF human lung fib... περισσότερα »

Antenatal BAY 41-2272 reduces pulmonary hypertension in the rabbit model of congenital diaphragmatic hernia

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοEvolutionary PhysiologyΠριν από 1 ώρα
Infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) fail to adapt at birth because of persistent pulmonary hypertension (PH), a condition characterized by excessive muscularization and abnormal vasoreactivity of pulmonary vessels. Activation of soluble guanylate cyclase by BAY 41-2272 prevents pulmonary vascular remodeling in neonatal rats with hypoxia-induced PH. By analogy, we hypothesized that prenatal administration of BAY 41-2272 would improve features of PH in the rabbit CDH model. Rabbit fetuses with surgically induced CDH at day 23 of gestation were randomized at day 28 for... περισσότερα »

Treatment with intranasal iloprost reduces disease manifestations in a murine model of previously established COPD

Alexandros G. SfakianakisστοEvolutionary PhysiologyΠριν από 1 ώρα
Pulmonary endothelial prostacyclin appears to be involved in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The effect of treatment with a prostacyclin analog in animal models of previously established COPD is unknown. We evaluated the short- and long-term effect of iloprost on inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in a murine model of COPD. Nineteen mice were exposed to LPS/elastase, followed by either three doses of intranasal iloprost or saline. In the long-term treatment experiment, 18 mice were exposed to LPS/elastase and then received 6 wk of i... περισσότερα »
