Neonatal Escherichia coli K1 meningitis causes learning and memory impairments ...

Neonatal Escherichia coli meningitis continues to be an important cause of mortality and morbidity in newborns worldwide. The aim of this study was to investigate the cytokines/chemokines, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels, blood–brain barrier integrity in neonatal rats following E. coli K1 experimental meningitis infection and subsequent behavioural parameters in adulthood. In the hippocampus, in...

Oxidative stress, cytokine/chemokine and disruption of blood–Brain barrier in n...

We verify the levels of cytokine/chemokine, myeloperoxidase activity, oxidative stress and disruption of BBB in hippocampus and cortex of the neonate Wistar rats after meningitis by S. agalactiae. In the hippocampus the levels were increased of CINC-1 at 6 h and 12 h, IL-1β at 6, 12 and 24 h, IL-6 at 6, 24 and 96 h, IL-10 at 24, 48 and 96 h and TNF-α at 24 h and 96 h. In the cortex the CINC-1 and IL-1β levels w...

Brain–blood barrier breakdown and pro-inflammatory mediators in neonate rats su...

Neonatal meningitis is an illness characterized by inflammation of the meninges and occurring within the birth and the first 28 days of life. Invasive infection by Streptococcus pneumoniae, meningitis and sepsis, in neonate is associated with prolonged rupture of membranes; maternal colonization/illness, prematurity, high mortality and 50% of cases have some form of disability. For this purpose, we measured bra...

Lithium ameliorates sleep deprivation-induced mania-like behavior, hypothalamic...

Objectives: The goal of the present study was to investigate the effects of lithium administration on behavior, oxidative stress parameters and cytokine levels in the periphery and brain of mice subjected to an animal model of mania induced by paradoxical sleep deprivation (PSD). Methods: Male C57 mice were treated with saline or lithium for 7 days. The sleep deprivation protocol started on the 5th day during f...

Oxidative stress and inflammatory parameters in adult patients presenting with ...

Celiac disease is a chronic small intestinal inflammatory condition caused by an inappropriate immune response to gluten of wheat, rye and barley, with a prevalence of about 1: 100 in the Caucasian population when occurs a inflammatory response and seems to involve high levels of interleukins. Objective: Determine the presence of oxidative stress and inflammation in the gut of patients with CD. Methods: Transve...

Exercise training prevents skeletal muscle damage in an experimental sepsis model

OBJECTIVE: Oxidative stress plays an important role in skeletal muscle damage in sepsis. Aerobic exercise can decrease oxidative stress and enhance antioxidant defenses. Therefore, it was hypothesized that aerobic exercise training before a sepsis stimulus could attenuate skeletal muscle damage by modulating oxidative stress. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of aerobic physical preconditi...

The validity and reliability of the portuguese versions of three tools used to ...

OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study are to compare the sensitivity and specificity of three diagnostic tools for delirium (the Intensive Care Delirium Screening Checklist, the Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Units and the Confusion Assessment Method for Intensive Care Units Flowsheet) in a mixed population of critically ill patients, and to validate the Brazilian Portuguese Confusion Assessm...
