Tce injury

We have previously shown that excessive activation of macrophage proinflammatory activity plays a key role in TCE-induced immune liver injury, but the mechanism of polarization is unclear. Recent studies have shown that TLR9 activation plays an important regulatory role in macrophage polarization. In the present study, we demonstrated that elevated levels of oxidative stress in hepatocytes mediate the release of mtDNA into the bloodstream, leading to the activation of TLR9 in macrophages to regulate macrophage polarization...

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a common environmental contaminant that can cause a severe allergic reaction called TCE hypersensitivity syndrome, which often implicates the patient's kidneys. Our previous study revealed that C5b-9-induced tubular ferroptosis is involved in TCE-caused kidney damage. However, the study did not explain how tubule-specific C5b-9 causes free iron overload, a key event in ferroptosis. Here, we aimed to explore the role of NCOA4-mediated ferritinophagy in C5b-9-induced iron overload and ferroptosis in TCE-sensitized mice...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is associated with hypopituitarism with a variable incidence, depending on the time and methods used to diagnosis, and on factors related to the trauma, such as its severity, its anatomical location and the drugs used in the acute phase. The pituitary gland can be damaged directly by the impact or secondary to factors such as ischemia, inflammation, excitotoxicity or immunity. In acute phases ACTH deficiency is the most relevant, since failure to detect and treat it can compromise the patient's life...

Trichloroethylene (TCE) was a widely used industrial solvent, and now has become a major environmental pollutant. Exposure to TCE has been found to result in significant damage to the liver, leading to hepatic toxicity. In our previous study, we discovered that a histone chaperon called SET plays a crucial role in mediating the DNA damage and apoptosis caused by TCE in hepatic cells. However, the precise function of SET in the response to DNA damage is still not fully understood. In this study, we evaluated TCE-induced DNA damage of hepatic L-02 cells with SET-knockdown, then analyzed alterations of H3K79me3 and p53 in hepatic cells and carcinogenic mice livers...

Trichloroethylene (TCE) induces occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis due to TCE (OMDT) with immune liver injury, and TNF-α plays an important role in macrophage polarization and liver injury. However, TNF-α regulating macrophage polarization in liver injury induced by TCE is still unknown. Thus, on the basis of our previous research, we established the TCE-sensitized BALB/c mouse model with R7050, a specific inhibitor of TNFR1. Then, we observed significant decreases in autophagy related protein and gene levels in M1 macrophage in TCE positive group, and R7050 can relieve M1 macrophage autophagy...

BACKGROUND: Renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) related acute kidney injury (AKI) is an important health problem and has not yet been fully treated. Tarantula cubensis extract (TCE) is a homeopathic drug that has antiinflammatory and antioxidant effects. This study aimed to investigate the effects of TCE on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS: This study was carried out on 48 Spraque-Dawley male rats, which were divided into six groups. The first, second, and third groups were control, sham, and IR groups, respectively...

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a metal detergent commonly used in industry that can enter the human body through the respiratory tract and skin, causing occupational medicamentosa-like dermatitis due to TCE (OMDT) and multiple organ damage, including liver failure. However, the pathogenesis of liver injury remains unclear. Kupffer cells (KCs) are important tissue macrophages in the body because the polarization of KCs plays a crucial role in immune-mediated liver injury. However, the mechanism of KCs polarization in TCE-induced immune liver injury has not been thoroughly elucidated...

More and more clinical evidence shows that occupational medicamentose-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMDT) patients often present immune kidney damage. However, the exact mechanisms of cell-to-cell transmission in TCE-induced immune kidney damage remain poorly understood. The present study aimed to explore the role of high mobility group box-1 (HMGB 1) in glomerular endothelial cell-podocyte transmission. 17 OMDT patients and 34 controls were enrolled in this study. We observed that OMDT patients had renal function injury, endothelial cell activation and podocyte injury, and these indicators were associated with serum HMGB 1...

Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to heel, is the strongest tendon in the body. Despite its strength, it is more prone to injury due to its limited blood supply. Tendon-related injuries are more common in sportspersons, people with labor-intensive work and the aged community. The currently available treatment mode is surgery which is expensive with chances of re-injury. Present study made an attempt to fabricate a tissue-engineered tendon product using decellularized tendon (DT) seeded with stem cells and bioactive components of Tinospora cordifolia extract (TCE)...

Acrolein and trichloroethylene (TCE) are priority hazardous air pollutants due to environmental prevalence and adverse health effects; however, neuroendocrine stress-related systemic effects are not characterized. Comparing acrolein, an airway irritant, and TCE with low irritancy, we hypothesized that airway injury would be linked to neuroendocrine-mediated systemic alterations. Male and female Wistar-Kyoto rats were exposed nose-only to air, acrolein or TCE in incremental concentrations over 30min, followed by 3...

INTRODUCTION: Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) has been associated with poor neurological outcomes and increased mortality in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). Traditionally, ICP-lowering therapies are administered using an escalating approach, with more aggressive options reserved for patients showing no response to first-tier interventions, or with refractory intracranial hypertension. DEVELOPMENT: The therapeutic value and the appropriate timing for the use of rescue treatments for intracranial hypertension have been a subject of constant debate in literature...

A prospective multicenter cohort study. To clarify the differences in the accuracy of transcranial motor-evoked potentials (TcE-MEPs) and procedures associated with the alarms between cervical anterior spinal fusion (ASF) and posterior spinal fusion (PSF). Neurological complications after TcE-MEP alarms have been prevented by appropriate interventions for cervical degenerative disorders. The differences in the accuracy of TcE-MEPs and the timing of alarms between cervical ASF and PSF noted in the existing literature remain unclear...

BACKGROUND: Ankle sprains are among the most common injuries in sports and can result in chronic ankle instability. In therapy and prevention, a sensorimotor training approach on the structures surrounding the ankle joint has proven to be effective. There is evidence that training the intrinsic foot muscles can also improve balance, for example. OBJECTIVE/AIM: The aim of this narrative review is to present evidence regarding intrinsic foot muscles training in patients with ankle instability...

Numerous Superfund sites are contaminated with the volatile organic chemical trichloroethylene (TCE). In women, exposure to TCE in pregnancy is associated with reduced birth weight. Our previous study reported that TCE exposure in pregnant rats decreased fetal weight and elevated oxidative stress biomarkers in placentae, suggesting placental injury as a potential mechanism of TCE-induced adverse birth outcomes. In this study, we investigated if co-exposure with the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) attenuates TCE exposure effects on RNA expression...

Occupational medicamentose-like dermatitis due to trichloroethylene (OMDT) is a systemic allergic disease similar to drug eruption-like dermatitis that occurs in workers after exposure to trichloroethylene. In addition to skin and mucosa damage, OMDT patients often accompanied by severe multiorgan damage, including kidney injury. However, the mechanism remains unclear. The aim of our research was to explore the role of increased cytosolic mitochondrial DNA in the activation of cGAS-STING signaling and in the kidney injury of trichloroethylene sensitization mice using a mouse model and an in vitro model...

This study aimed to investigate the activating mechanism of the NLRP3 inflammasome in trichloroethylene-sensitized mice. In total, 88 BALB/c female mice were used to establish the trichloroethylene (TCE)-sensitized mouse model. Some of the mice received MitoTEMPO, MCC 950 or soluble recombinant CD59-Cys to inhibit mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production, NLRP3 assembly, or C5b-9 formation. Mouse tubular epithelial cell expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, Caspase 1, IL-1β, IL-18 and mitochondrial antiviral signaling protein (MAVS) were detected by western blot...

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a volatile chlorinated solvent widely used for cleaning and degreasing industrial metal parts. Due to the widespread use and improper disposal of TCE, exposure to TCE causes a variety of adverse effects on human and animal health. However, the underlying mechanism of the damage remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to investigate the role of Sirtuin-1 (SIRT 1) in TCE-induced immune renal tubular injury. 6-8-week-old female BALB/c mice were used to construct a TCE sensitized mouse model...

Patients with trichloroethene-induced Trichloroethylene hypersensitivity syndrome (THS) often present kidney injury. However, the role of Wnt 5a/Ca2+ pathway in renal tubular injury in Trichloroethylene (TCE) sensitized mice remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate how Wnt 5a/Ca2+ pathway induced renal tubular epithelial cell injury in TCE sensitized mice. A total of 84 female BALB/c Specific Pathogen Free mice aged 6-8 weeks were used to establish TCE sensitized mouse models. Renal histology and serum levels of α1-MG and β2-MG were used to assess the renal injury...

Angiosarcoma is an exceptionally rare malignancy that accounts for less than 1% of all sarcomas. This case describes a 90-year-old male veteran who presented with a hematoma from a traumatic head injury. This then progressed to an ulcerated bleeding lesion that measured 2.5 cm in diameter with pearly borders and granulation tissue. CT scan of the head and skin biopsy were consistent with the diagnosis of cutaneous angiosarcoma. The patient may have unique exposures from the military training site Camp Lejeune including tetrachloroethylene (PCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, and vinyl chloride predisposing to angiosarcoma...

Objective: To detect the expression levels of M1-type polarization and autophagy-related indicators in the liver of trichloroethylene (TCE) -sensitized mice, and to explore the role of liver tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) in regulating M1-type Kupffer cells autophagy in liver injury in TCE-sensitized mice. Methods: In November 2019, according to simple random grouping, 45 SPF grade BALB/c female mice (6-8 weeks old) were divided into 4 groups: blank control group ( n =5) , solvent control group ( n =5) , TCE treatment group ( n =18) , TCE+R7050 (inhibitor) treatment group ( n =17) ...
