Donor Polymorphisms of Toll-like Receptor 4 rs1927914 Associated with the Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Recurrence Following Liver Transplantation
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) recurrence after liver transplantation (LT) severely restricts the long-term survival of patients. Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) has been considered to be involved in hepatocarcinogenesis and metastasis. Additionally, there is a study demonstrating the significant association between TLR4 gene rs1927914 polymorphism and HCC, but no study investigated the association of the TLR4 rs1927914 polymorphism with the risk of HCC recurrence following LT.

Optimizing Non-Pharmacologic Management of Hypertriglyceridemia
The cornerstone of initial management for hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is lifestyle modification. The combination of weight loss through caloric restriction, alteration in macronutrient composition and increased energy expenditure reduces TG levels by approximately 50%. The addition of cinnamon, cacao products and isocaloric substitution of 1 serving of nuts may contribute another 5 –15% lowering of TG. This can be particularly beneficial in patients with HTG who are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

On the Search to Elucidate the Role of Microbiota in the Genesis of Cancer: The Cases of Gastrointestinal and Cervical Cancer
The microbiota that inhabits the human body plays an important role in health and disease, by their fundamental role in food digestion, training of the immune system or protection against pathogen colonization. However, when the equilibrium with its host is altered, some diseases like cancer might be promoted. In this review we describe the information collected in recent studies between the microbiota and its association with cancer. We conducted the review of the relation of microbiome and cancer etiology focusing on the gastrointestinal and cervical cancer. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 Mediates Adrenal Development Dysfunction in Offspring Rats Induced by Prenatal Food Restriction
Our previous study demonstrated that prenatal food restriction (PFR) could induce the dysfunction of the hypothalamic –pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid-related glucose and lipid metabolic alterations in adult offspring rats. (Source: Archives of Medical Research)

Development of Microbiota in Infants and its Role in Maturation of Gut Mucosa and Immune System
Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota has been associated with increasing numbers of diseases, including obesity, diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma, allergy, cancer and even neurologic or behavioral disorders. The other side of the coin is that a healthy microbiota leads to a healthy human development, to a mature and well trained immune system and to an efficient metabolic machinery. What we have learned in adults is in the end the result of a good start, a programmed, healthy development of the microbiota that must occur in the early years of life, probably even starting during the fetal stage.

Contemporary Applications of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation to Treat Intestinal Diseases in Humans
The intestinal microbiota comprise an important organ that plays a vital role in host digestion, development, energy maintenance, hemostasis, and immunity. Disruption of the gut microbial community due to diet, lifestyle, or antibiotic exposure increases susceptibility to chronic infection and disease. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) involves the transfer of gut microbiota from a healthy donor to a patient in order to restore normal diversity and function of the microbial community. This method has become a well established alternative therapy for the treatment of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. (Source: ...

Maternal Micronutrients, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Gene Expression of Angiogenic and Inflammatory Markers in Pregnancy Induced Hypertension Rats
Preeclampsia is a disorder of pregnancy and is associated with inflammation and altered angiogenesis. The present study examines the effect of micronutrient and omega-3 fatty acid supplementation (individual, as well as combined) on genes involved in inflammation and angiogenesis, as well as global DNA methylation levels in a pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) rat model.
