Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) Circulating tumor cells (CTCs), represent tumor cells that contain a heterogeneous populace of cells, including apoptotic tumor and viable tumor cells that have shed into the vasculature or lymphatics from a primary or metastatic tumor and are carried around the body in the circulation by undergoing phenotypic changes that are accompanied by a process called as epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) 64-68. Evidence now suggests that the tumors has ability to make their

a proliferation of the beneficial microbionts [20]. Probiotics are live bacteria that provide a positive effect on the inflammatory response of the gastrointestinal tract by improving the endothelial intestinal barrier, diminishing the bacterial adhesion, lowering the pH intraluminal and enhancing the production of nitrogen oxide [19, 20]. De Lisle et al. also showed a positive effect of laxativa and N-acetylcysteine. Mucus accumulation was reduced by 43% and 50% respectively with a

The goal of this study was to investigate if nano-BaSO4 pellethane composites are able to effectively act as surfaces which prevent initial bacterial adhesion and proliferation, while still remaining

changes in antibacterial resistance, i.e., decreased immunoglobin (Ig)-A salivary content, reduced salivary secretion, mechanical injury induced by nasogastric and endotracheal tubes and mucosal desiccation. This in turn facilitates the mucosal adhesion of aerobic bacilli and allows bacterial multiplication and speedy growth on pharyngeal mucosa.10, 11 Oral Plaque harbors microorganisms in the sequence of initial colonization and represents an additional source of nosocomial colonization and infections

pathogenesis of septic shock is not completely understood. An inflammatory stimulus (eg, a bacterial toxin) triggers production of pro inflammatory mediators, including TNF and IL-1” (Maggio,2016, ).“These cytokines cause neutrophil–endothelial cell adhesion, activate the clotting mechanism, and generate micro thrombi. They also release numerous other mediators, including leukotrienes, lipoxygenase, histamine, bradykinin, serotonin, and IL-2. They are opposed by anti-inflammatory mediators, such as IL-4

leading to sharp increases in the levels of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines, chemokines and matrix metalloproteases (21), and causing a loss of integrity of the endothelial cells in the brain, as manifestated by the upregulation of cell adhesion molecules and neurotrophic infiltration (22). This is likely to provoke a consecutive secondary inflammation and glial immune response, resulting in permanent damage to the brain cells

An interesting aspect discussed in this part is, how neuroinflammation involves CNS diseases and neuronal disorders. Different cells and mediators play major roles in the neuroinflammatory process and complex events at various steps. At first, pathogens that attack or injure neural tissue cause activation in molecular pathways resulting in the release of ATP, heat-shock protein, amyloid-β, oxidized lipids, histones and box-1 proteins. Then TLRs become active, and recruit microglial cells, which contain

Lipoproteins are multicomponent assemblies of lipids and proteins that form distinct molecules with an approximate stoichiometric value between the lipid and protein components within the complex. Lipoproteins exist with many types each with a specific molecular mass, size, density, physiological role, and chemical composition.(devlin,57) The lipids and their derivatives may be covalently or non-covalently bound to the proteins. Lipoproteins show biodiversity in their forms, many enzymes, antigens

PML is a rare brain demyelinating pathology, characterized by the infection of glial cells, affecting predominantly adults and only occasionally children. Patients have neuropsychological deficits at the time of the onset of the disease. Common symptoms are: motor deficits, altered state of consciousness, visual disturbances and ataxia. However, there are also atypical manifestations that include cerebellar syndrome, meningitis, and meningoencephalitis, progressive myoclonic ataxia, muscular degeneration

therapeutic applications and innumerable cases of clinical trials and lab analysis (Devlin, 2011). One example of the many application of enzymes in the medical field is how Proteases Pronase (Hydrolytic enzyme) and RNases are being used to remove adhesions in contaminated
