Background: The World Health Organization has identified Helicobacter pylori, a Gram-negative bacterium responsible for several gastric disorders, as one of the pathogenic bacteria that requires newer non-antibiotic approaches for its management. We previously demonstrated that nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) loaded with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA-NLC)have excellent in vitro performance against H. pylori. Ma...
This study evaluated the expression of vimentin and Ki-67 proliferative index (PI) by immunohistochemistry in 30 canine gastric carcinomas (GCs) and a possible association with clinical and pathological features and patient’s survival time. Vimentin immunoreactivity was assessed in neoplastic cells (in primary lesions, emboli, and metastases) and tumor-associated stroma (TAS) of canine GCs. Ki-67 PI was quantif...
