Hsp27 and Hsp60 in human submandibular salivary gland: Quantitative patterns in healthy and cancerous tissues with potential implications for differe…
2021
Tumors of the submandibular salivary gland (SMG) are uncommon but sufficiently frequent for the physician to consider them in routine examinations and for the pathologist to be prepared to differentiate them from other tissue abnormalities. However, scarcity of specimens makes training difficult, a situation compounded by the lack of accepted universal diagnostic guidelines. Furthermore, there is little information on the chaperone system (CS) of the gland, despite the increasing evidence of its participation in carcinogenesis as a biomarker for diagnosis and patient follow up, and in the mechanisms by which the tumor cells thrive. We are investigating this aspect of various tumors, and her…
Immunohistochemical and molecular expression of CB1 receptors in human colonic segment. Preliminary results
2011
Recent studies document that CB1 cannabinoid receptors, considered since its first identification as “brain specific”, could be expressed by peripheral tissues targets (adipose organs, enteric nervous system, striated muscle, epatocytes). This receptors were found in the GI tract of different species, including mice, rats, guinea pigs, pigs and humans. Endocannabinoids play a role in the pathophysiology of the gastrointestinal tract. They play a role in emesis, acid-related disorders, motility-related disorders, irritable bowel syndrome and diarrhea, and in inflammatory bowel disease. Endocannabinoid system might be involved in cancer differentiation, growth and cell migration. Distribution…

First finding of Ityogonimus lorum and I. ocreatus co-infection in the Iberian mole, Talpa occidentalis.
2018
Abstract The Ityogonimus lorum-I. ocreatus co-infection is reported for the first time in the Iberian mole Talpa occidentalis in Asturias (NW Spain). Both Ityogonimus species are stenoxenous helminths of insectivores of the genus Talpa and they have often been found parasitizing the Iberian mole and also the European mole T. europaea, but a mixed infection had not been previously reported. The present study also highlights the main differential morphometric characteristics between I. lorum and I. ocreatus such as the body length, the ventral sucker diameter, the ratio between suckers and the distance between suckers.
Expression of Cyclooxygenase-1 and Cyclooxygenase-2 in normal and pathological human oral mucosa
2011
Abstract: Cyclooxigenase (COX) is the rate-limiting enzyme for the conversion of arachidonic acid (AA) to prostaglandins (PGs). Two isoforms of COX have been identified: COX-1 is constitutively expressed in many cells and is involved in cell homeostasis, angiogenesis and cell-cell signalling; COX-2 is not expressed in normal condition however it is strongly expressed in inflammation. The oral cavity is costantly exposed to physical and chemical trauma that could lead to mucosal reactions such as hyperplasia, dysplasia and cancer. Early diagnosis is the most important issue to address for a positive outcome of oral cancer; therefore it would be useful to identify molecular markers whose expr…
Flavonoids against the SARS-CoV-2 induced inflammatory storm
2021
The disease severity of COVID-19, especially in the elderly and patients with co-morbidities, is characterized by hypercytokinemia, an exaggerated immune response associated with an uncontrolled and excessive release of proinflammatory cytokine mediators (cytokine storm). Flavonoids, important secondary metabolites of plants, have long been studied as therapeutic interventions in inflammatory diseases due to their cytokine-modulatory effects. In this review, we discuss the potential role of flavonoids in the modulation of signaling pathways that are crucial for COVID-19 disease, particularly those related to inflammation and immunity. The immunomodulatory ability of flavonoids, carried out …
Immunohistochemical expression of Cytokeratins in periapical lesions
2011
Objective. This study seeks to clarify the histological origin of apical lesions, through the expression of certain cytokeratins.Study design. In 3 years 30 patients were selected. After clinical and radiological exams were chosen patients who had severe apical lesions and tooth decay with exposure of the pulp chamber left untreated for very long periods (more the 12 months). Serial slides were prepared both for immunohistochemistry and Hematoxylin- Eosin. Material and methods. Twenty specimens coming from the 30 patients were used for our purpose. All periapical lesions were surgically extracted and fixed in Bouin mixture, and embedded in paraffin. Samples were processed immunohistochemica…
