Inflammatory bowel disease: clinical aspects
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Pasternak, Grzegorz; Aebisher, David; Filip, Rafał; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota
Introduction. Inflammatory bowel disease is a complex disease which arises as a result of an interaction between environmental and genetic factors leading to immunological responses and inflammation in the intestine. Aim. To review medical approaches used in inflammatory bowel disorders. Materials and methods. An analysis of literature regarding inflammatory bowel diseases, Leśniowski-Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and mataloproteinases. Results. Current evidence suggests that patients with inflammatory bowel disease may have an elevated risk of endothelial dysfunction and coronary artery disease. Over the past two decades, great advances have been made in our understanding of the interplay between the inflammatory bowel disease. Conclusions. Inflammatory bowel diseases are increasing in Europe. The diagnosis is usually confirmed by biopsies on colonoscopy.
Inflammatory bowel disease: the function of metalloproteinases
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Pasternak, Grzegorz; Aebisher, David; Filip, Rafał; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota
Introduction. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory conditions of the colon and small intestine. Aim. The aim of this work was to review the current literature regarding matrix metalloproteinases. The databases such as PubMed, ScienceDirect and Springer were utilized to search the literature for relevant articles. Materials and methods. An analysis of literature. We collected information, data, and examples of the function of metalloproteinases. Results. Herein we show that metalloproteinases play a role in such processes as the immune response, angiogenesis, the epithelial barrier function, fibrosis induced by the inflammatory process, and in the process of carcinogenesis. Conclusions. Further studies on the role of metalloproteinases in the process of carcinogenesis associated with inflammatory bowel diseases are required.
Medicinal & Aromatic Plants
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Domka, Wojciech; Aebisher, David; Truszkiewicz, Adrian; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota
Introduction. The objective of this study is to discuss the potential of plants species in medical applications. Aim. The main purpose of this study is to discuss ethnobotanically selected plants used in medicine. Materials and methods. We analysed literature and collected information, data, and examples of selected plants used in medicine. Results. The literature shows that for several decades, the properties of medicinal plants have been investigated and reported in the biomedical and pharmaceutical literature. Conclusions. This review includes studies on plants material. The properties of various plants physiology were discuuses with the option for the use in phythotherapy.
Receiver operating characteristic analysis of the FeNO biomarker in the diagnosis of asthma
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Biesiadecki, Marek; Galiniak, Sabina; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota; Aebisher, David
Introduction. The fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is used as a non-invasive biomarker that reflects inflammation in the airways. It is so versatile that it used to control asthma severity as well as to monitor response to treatment. However, the exact cut-off point of the nitric oxide level which allows one to make a precise diagnosis of asthma is unclear. Aim. To examine the possibility of using advanced statistical methods such as receiver operating characteristic for the analysis of FeNO concentrations for improving the diagnosis of asthma. Materials and methods. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) was used for analyzing results to determine levels of nitric oxide which may be a prognostic indicator of asthma. The studied group consisted of 111 children including 69 asthmatic patients, and 42 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. Measurement of exhaled nitric oxide was conducted in all subjects included in this study. Results. FeNO level was higher in asthmatic patients. The analysis of results showed that the cut-off point for the FeNO concentration is 11.5 ppb. Sensitivity and specificity with the FeNO level allowed us to determine a value of the diagnostic variable of FeNO concentration of 14.0 ppb. A comparison of FeNO level and sex of the subjects showed there is no correlation between these parameters of patients. Conclusions. Currently, the FeNO measurement provides complementary data in the care of a patient suffering from asthma, however analysis of more studies on a larger group of patients is needed.
The potential of phythotherapy in otorhinolaryngology
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2018) Domka, Wojciech; Aebisher, David; Bober, Zuzanna; Ożóg, Łukasz; Bartusik-Aebisher, Dorota
Introduction. The objective of this paper is to review the evidence of the use of herbs in phytotherapy. Aim. To discuss plant properties and applications in otorhinolaryngology. Materials and methods. We analysed literature and collected information of phythotherapy in otorhinolaryngology. Results. The databases were searched using various keywords such as phytotherapy, otorhinolaryngology, and herbs such as: echinacea, eucalyptus, garlic, ginkgo, ginseng, kava, pelargonium sidoides, rosemary, spirulina, St John’s wort, and thyme. Conclusions. Due to the beneficial impact of meicinal plants in medicine there is a growing interest in analytical identification and quantification for clinical medicine and forensic toxicology.
