Authors: Abdel-Rahman Hoshang
Published: June 2022

Background and objectives: determine the causes and types of complete denture fractures. Methods: The study was performed in the Hawler medical university, college of Dentistry Department of Prosthodontics. The number of fractured complete denture collected was 290 from patients aged 35-80 years of both genders. The (causes of denture fracture, the type of fracture and the history of previous recurrent fractures) were recorded. Results: : The main cause of denture fracture was poor fitting (40%), followed by poor occlusal relation (21%). Midline fracture was the commonest type of fracture (59%). From the study (51%) of the dentures had previously been repaired once or more. The ratio of lower to upper complete denture fractures was approximately 3:1; most of the fractured dentures (56%) were those of males. Conclusion: The causes of the fracture were divided into material factors and clinical/ technical factors. Denture fractures can be reduced by following prosthodontic principles, analyzing proper fit, eliminating occlusal interferences and using high impact polymers or metal reinforced.

Authors: Ismahael Parween
Published: June 2022

Background and objectives: The metabolism of several trace elements has been reported to alter in bronchial asthma and these elements might have specific roles in the pathogenesis and progress of this disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate serum levels of Zinc, Copper, Calcium, Iron and Magnesium in asthmatic children Patients and Methods: The comparative study includes 56 asthmatic patients and 44 healthy non asthmatic control subjects. The trace elements concentrations were measured by means of an atomic absorption spectrophotometer, results were calculated from the calibration curve obtained by statistical analysis of concentration Vs Absorbance data for elements using fitting of straight line by least square. Results: Mean(±SD) zinc level was significantly (p<0.01) decreased in asthmatic children (70.6±8.3 μg /dL) compared with controls non asthmatic children (78.3± 9.2 μg /dL),calcium and iron serum concentrations were significantly(p<0.001) higher in asthmatic patient (10.98±2.53 mg/dL, (113.23 ± 45.47 μg/dl) respectively compared with controls (8.23±3.4mg/dL,83.25±29.43 μg /dL) respectively, on the other hand copper level was significantly (p<0.01) higher in asthmatic children (143±20.8μg/dl) in comparison to the control values (130±22.7 μg/dL). Magnesium concentration was significantly lower in comparison to the control values (p<0.01). Conclusion: The results support that deficiency of Mg, Zn, Cu, Ca and Fe may play a role in the development of asthma.

Authors: Barzanji Baran
Published: June 2022

Background and objectives: Cervical smears can reduce both incidence and mortality rates from invasive cervical cancer. Despite its success, cervical cytology has important limitations. The aim of this study is to assess the validity of conventional Pap smear in diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in Erbil through comparison with colposcopy with or without cervical biopsy. Methods: A hospital-based study was carried out in Erbil Maternity Hospital from the 1st May to 31st December 2008. The study sample included 336 women attending the breast disease center for routine breast examination. Cervical Pap smear followed by colposcopic examination was done for each woman on the same day. Cervical punch biopsy was taken for those with abnormal colposcopic findings. Colposcopy with or without biopsy was considered as a gold standard diagnosis of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). Results: Out of 336 women, 48 (14.3%) had abnormal cervical smear results, of which 43 (12.8%) of the total had low-grade cervical lesions and 5 (1.5%) of the total had high-grade cervical lesions. Colposcopy-directed biopsy revealed that 69 (20.5%) had abnormal findings of which 65 (19.3%) women had CIN I and 4 (1.2%) of the total had CIN II and III. The sensitivity and specificity of the cervical smear were 62.3% and 98.1%, respectively. The positive predictive value was 89.6% while the negative predictive value was 91%. The false negative percentage was 37.7%. The accuracy of the test was 90.8% and the degree of agreement between Pap smear and colposcopy with biopsy results was 90.2%. Conclusion: The high accuracy of cervical smear in this study and high agreement rate between cervical cytology and colposcopy indicates that conventional Pap smear is an important dependable screening test in spite of its low validity in terms of its sensitivity.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by progressive cognitive impairment associated with synaptic dysfunction and dendritic spine loss and the pathologic hallmarks of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau tangles. 14-3-3 proteins are a highly conserved family of proteins whose functions include regulation of protein folding, neuronal architecture, and synaptic function. Additionally, 14-3-3s interact with both Aβ and tau, and reduced levels of 14-3-3s have been shown in the brains of AD patients and in AD mouse models. Here, we examine the neuroprotective potential of the 14-3-3θ isoform in AD models. We demonstrate that 14-3-3θ overexpression is protective and 14-3-3θ inhibition is detrimental against oligomeric Aβ-induced neuronal death in primary cortical cultures. Overexpression of 14-3-3θ using an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector failed to improve performance on behavioral tests, improve Aβ pathology, or affect synaptic density in the J20 AD mouse model. Similarly, crossing a second AD mouse model, theAppNL-G-Fknock-in (APP KI) mouse, with 14-3-3θ transgenic mice failed to rescue behavioral deficits, reduce Aβ pathology, or impact synaptic density in the APP KI mouse model. 14-3-3θ is likely partially insolubilized in the APP models, as demonstrated by proteinase K digestion. These findings do not support increasing 14-3-3θ expression as a therapeutic approach for AD.

Authors: Rivera Ángel Fredy Alexis
Published: June 2022

In this article, we intend to discuss the need to identify when authentic participation exercises are involved in public planning and management to differentiate these exercises from others where manipulation and legitimation purposes are at the order of the day. Documentary and bibliographic research was conducted to deeply study the characteristics necessary to achieve authentic participation. With the help of categories or steps that include the requirements of what authentic participation should be, advanced exercises can be identified for those who are not even participating. The people must react and seek greater decision-making power to not let others decide the future of everyone in truly authentic planning and public management exercises to which this article is intended to contribute.

Background and Aims: Celiac disease is characterized by an inappropriate T-cell-mediated response to gluten in small bowel in genetically predisposed individuals, carriers of the DQ2 and/or DQ8 haplotypes of the human leukocyte antigen. The aim of our study was to asses HLA typing in adult patients with celiac disease, in their first degree relatives and in a healthy control group.

Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study on three cohorts: 117 patients diagnosed with celiac disease, 41 first-degree relatives of celiac patients and 57 asymptomatic healthy volunteers. Low resolution HLA typing for DQ alleles was performed in all study subjects with DNA extracted from peripheral blood, using SSP HLA-DQB1 kit (Innotrain Diagnostik GmbH, Germany).  Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) was used only in 18 patients for typing confirmation of DQB1 and DQA1 loci and whole gene sequencing.

Results: Prevalence of HLA-DQ2 was significantly higher in the CD group compared to the healthy subjects group (95.6% vs 29.8%, p <0.001), with no statistically significant differences in HLA-DQ8 and combined HLA-DQ2/DQ8 prevalences.Several HLA DQA1 and DQB1 alleles (HLA-DQA1* 05:01, HLA-DQB1*02:01, HLA-DQB1*02:02) and haplotypes (DQA1*02:01-DQB1*02:02,DQA1*05:01-DQB1*02:01) were strongly associated with celiac disease in our group: OR 4.28, 4.28, 4.67 and 5.43 and 4.28 respectively. Predominantly, patients presented with typical symptoms and iron deficiency anemia. 95.5% of them had histological Marsh type modifications ≥3a. A relatively poor response to gluten-free diet was observed and 9.4% developed complications (refractory celiac disease, enteropathy-associated T cell lymphoma, intestinal adenocarcinoma), with a death rate of 6.8%. 23% associated other autoimmune diseases.Screening adherence for 1st degree relatives was very low: only 16%. Familial screening diagnosed 4 cases of asymptomatic celiac disease. 32 relatives (78%) had HLA-DQ2 haplotype, 5 carried HLA-DQ8, 4 didn’t carry any risk haplotype.

Conclusions: This study demonstrated a higher prevalence of the HLA-DQ2 genotype in patients with celiac disease compared to the healthy population but not of HLA-DQ8 or combined HLA-DQ2/DQ8. Alleles HLA-DQA1* 05:01, HLA-DQB1*02:01, HLA-DQB1*02:02 and haplotypes (DQA1*02:01-DQB1*02:02,DQA1*05:01-DQB1*02:01) were strongly associated with celiac disease in our cohort.

The paper outlines the experimental data on the impact of lyophilization on preservation of structural and functional characteristics of cells from human cord blood leukoconcentrate (HCBL). Lyophilization of HCBL was shown to ensure the preservation of cells with immune modulating potential in a heterogeneous population of HCBL. Lyophilized HCBL (lHCBL), to the same extent as cryopreserved one (cHCBL), revealed an equal immune correcting effect during ischemic brain injury in vivo in the experimental model of ischemic stroke (IS). The inclusion of lHCBL in therapy of brain ischemia demonstrated the improved indices of IFN-ү+ and IL-10+ spleen cells, adhesive and phagocytic activity of peritoneal cavity cells in rats with IS. The efficiency of using both lHCBL and cHCBL during IS may be associated with the implementation of therapeutic effect by presented among them cells and mediators, including multi-vector regulatory systems that maintain homeostatic stability of the body (immune, endocrine, nervous ones).
Trazos geopolíticos para la decolonización de las territorialidades latinoamericanas
Authors: Pérez Jiménez César
Published: June 2022

La formación de la geopolítica se ha erigido desde la visión conquistadora de territorios, subjetividades y recursos naturales, develando las hegemonías de la dominación. En estos trazos geopolíticos mundiales, históricamente Latinoamérica y sus territorios, sus recursos y sus pueblos han representado una territorialidad objeto de explotación y exclusión. Es el propósito de este análisis cartográfico conceptual, razonar sobre la constitución e institución de la colonialidad de la territorialidad como parte de la agenda geopolítica hegemónica, y cómo se orienta a develar los retos y desafíos surgidos desde las coyunturas que envuelven la región, a propósito de contrarrestar la determinación imperialista que recae sobre esos territorios en disputa, considerando la resistencia de los pueblos que han sido participes de los diálogos interculturales surgidos como parte de una educación y crítica de la cultura orientada a la decolonización de las territorialidades, particularmente en estos tiempos que transcurren hacia una nueva normalidad.

Published: June 2022

У статті розглядається газопаротурбінна установка із загальним газопароутворюючим пристроєм та незалежними паровою та газовою турбінами. Газопароутворюючий пристрій конструктивно являє собою два вертикально розташовані концентричні циліндри. Порожнина внутрішнього циліндра є камерою згоряння газової турбіни, а порожнина між концентричними циліндрами – пароутворюючим пристроєм. Вода, стиснута до високого тиску та регенеративно нагріта до стану насичення, розпорошується на нижню розжарену поверхню камери згоряння і перетворюється на пару. У верхній, незрошуваній частині поверхні камери згоряння, з самого по­чатку здійснюється перегрів пари, що утворюється при дроселюванні рідини. Після перетворення в насичену пару основної частини води, яка не перетворилася повністю на пару при дроселюванні, нижня основна частина поверхні камери згоряння включається в перегрів усієї пари. Використовуючи систему клапанів, реалізуються ізохорні процеси згоряння палива та перегріву пари. Це дозволяє регулювати температуру (тиск) газів, що утворюються в газопароутворюючому пристрої та надходять на лопатки газової турбіни, а також – кількість і параметри одержуваної перегрітої пари. Пропонуєма газопаротурбінна установка позбавлена численних недоліків, які властиві як газотурбінним, так і паротурбінним установкам,а головне, їй властиві простота та мобільність при користуванні. Виконані попередні розрахунки ідеалізованої установки (без урахування неминучих термодинамічних та механічних втрат) показали її високу ефективність. При витраті природного газу 1 кг/с, тиску р0 = 2,2 бар і температурі t0 = 30 °С, його об’єм, перерахований на нормальні умови, становить 1,4 нм3/с. Прийнявши співвідношення 1:10 між об’ємами газоподібного палива і повітря, останнє необхідно подавати в камеру згоряння в кількості 14 нм3/с повітря. За цих умов потужність газопаротурбінної установки перевищила 33 МВт при термічному ККД 0,66 та питомій витраті палива 0,1066 кг/(кВтгод)

Published: June 2022

Abstract Playing sports during youth has been considered one of the main tools for the development of life skills. Thus, this cross-sectional study investigated the association between the development of life skills and coping strategies in 134 young athletes of both sexes in the state of Pernambuco, Brazil. The instruments used were the Sports Life Skills Scale and Coping Skills Inventory-28 (ACSI-28BR). Data analysis was performed using Pearson's correlation and Multiple Regression (p<0.05). The results showed a significant (p<0.05) and positive correlation between the life skills subscales and coping strategies. Multiple regression analyses found that total life skills development (a summative score of all eight life skills scores) was positively related to coping skills–providing support for the “pile-up” effect. It was concluded that a range of life skills development is positively associated with the coping strategies of young athletes, possibly helping these young people to show more confidence and motivation to achieve better performances in training and competitions.
Desvelando o racismo na escola médica: experiência e enfrentamento do racismo pelos estudantes negros na graduação em Medicina
Authors: Fredrich Vanessa Cristine Ribeiro , Coelho Izabel Cristina Meister , Sanches Leide da Conceição
Published: June 2022

Resumo O Brasil sofre os efeitos do racismo científico, do mito da democracia racial e da política de embranquecimento. Em 2019, 28% dos/as estudantes egressos/as de cursos de Medicina no Brasil eram negros/as. Com os objetivos de desvelar as formas de manifestação do racismo na graduação de Medicina e compreender como estudantes negros/as enfrentam o racismo, conduzimos uma pesquisa exploratória e qualitativa, segundo o método de Minayo, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas on line e auxílio do software ATLAS.ti9®. Com um referencial teórico-crítico, percebemos que as dimensões do racismo internalizado, interpessoal e institucional se sobrepõem, evidenciando seu caráter estrutural, atrelado ao desenvolvimento histórico-econômico de nosso país. A crença de inferioridade dos/as estudantes negros/as é reforçada em nível interpessoal nos olhares, piadas ou comentários sobre o cabelo. Em nível institucional, nega-se a necessidade do estudo da saúde da população negra, enquanto a baixa representatividade no corpo docente e discente não é percebida como expressão do racismo. A identificação racial, a organização em coletivos e a existência de amparos legais são fundamentais, mas o efetivo enfrentamento do racismo na escola médica requer a crítica ao sistema econômico que sistematicamente privilegia pessoas brancas.
Psicologia, Saúde Sexual e Saúde Reprodutiva: Urgências para a Formação Profissional
Authors: Gonzaga Paula Rita Bacellar
Published: June 2022

Resumo A psicologia tem se consolidado, entre outras áreas de atuação, como profissão de saúde. A despeito de reconhecer-se como tal na atenção terciária e na saúde mental, carece pensar como temos construído nossas práticas em outros setores, aqui em destaque a saúde sexual e a saúde reprodutiva. A previsão de que profissionais da psicologia devem compor equipes mínimas de diversas políticas públicas de saúde sexual e saúde reprodutiva não se faz perceber diante de lacunas significativas nos currículos disciplinares e nas produções acadêmicas da área. A proposta deste texto é apresentar algumas reflexões produzidas a partir de cenas que acompanhei ao longo dos anos que me dedico a essas questões, desde a graduação até a docência. Compõem as análises situações registradas no desenvolvimento de projetos de extensão e de pesquisa, supervisão de estágio em processos psicossociais, grupos de estudos e da disciplina Psicologia, Saúde Sexual e Saúde Reprodutiva. Pretende-se, a partir dessas cenas, analisar os desafios para consolidar uma práxis psicológica alinhada à defesa dos direitos sexuais e reprodutivos, bem como o desvelar de modos de escuta que destoam do que a priori deveria ser nosso objetivo central: promoção de cuidado e escuta qualificada. Por fim, proponho alguns parâmetros de organização das nossas ações, desejosa de uma construção que seja cada vez mais partilhada por nossa categoria, orientada pelos direitos humanos e comprometida com a promoção da saúde e da autonomia das usuárias dos serviços de saúde sexual e reprodutiva no Brasil.
Psicologia Brasileira e Políticas Públicas: Capturas e Resistências
Authors: Romagnoli Roberta Carvalho
Published: June 2022

Resumo Este texto discute a atuação da Psicologia nas Políticas Públicas em nosso país, apontando para a necessidade de desmonte da ainda dominante subjetividade universal e centrada no indivíduo, bem como a possibilidade de resistência entendida como invenção. Para tal, discorre acerca de algumas instituições que devem ser enfrentadas: a colonialidade do poder, a branquitude e a interseccionalidade em diálogo com as ideias de Deleuze e Guattari. O funcionamento macropolítico dessa tríade busca a reprodução de situações de hierarquia, desqualificação e exclusão, mantidas na micropolítica do cotidiano por meio de microfascismos que miniaturizam a necessidade de igualar e julgar. Além dos microfascismos, temos a perspectiva de uma micropolítica ativa que se faz por transversalidade e pelo agenciamento com a diferença. Ao sustentar a imanência dessa macropolítica em micropolíticas, insistimos na indissociabilidade da interioridade/exterioridade e indivíduo/social, para um futuro da Psicologia que sustente a complexidade e a invenção da nossa profissão. Concluímos que é preciso operar para a resistência e invenção convocando o coletivo para fazer uma psicologia brasileira à altura do nosso tempo.

ABSTRACT One of the main problems faced by guava production is the decline caused by the root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne enterolobii), which has a wide distribution in Brazil. This study aimed to evaluate the productive and morphological compatibility and variability of guava accessions grafted on BRS Guaraçá, a rootstock with resistance to the root-knot nematode. The experiment was conducted with 83 accessions from the Psidium Germplasm Bank (Petrolina, Pernambuco State, Brazil). The evaluated traits were stem diameter, canopy diameter I and II, plant height, total number of fruits, total fruit weight, mean fruit weight, seed weight, pulp weight, fruit width and length. Except for the stem diameter ratio, all variables showed significant diferences (p < 0.05), indicating phenotypic variability. The evaluated accessions showed no incompatibility symptoms, e.g., cracks, exudations and diferences for stem diameter in the grafted area, indicating high compatibility. The accessions formed vigorous plants in the second harvest cycle, with mean canopy diameter of 2.3 m and mean plant height of 2.2 m, also indicating high compatibility. The accessions Gua64BA, Gua181ES, Gua06MA, Pedro Sato and Gua99AM showed the highest values for pulp and fruit weight (around 160 g), whereas Gua96AM, Gua70RO, Gua192ES, Gua01MA and Gua183ES showed the highest fruit production values (around 20 kg plant−1), being recommended for grafting in BRS Guaraçá or as potential parents for population development.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The literature reports the association of external root resorption (ERR) with orthodontic movement. In cases of premolars extractions, orthodontic movement of anterior teeth is usually quite expressive, which are precisely the most susceptible teeth to suffer from ERR. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the root morphology of maxillary canines and incisors in patients submitted to four premolar extraction and orthodontic retraction of the anterior teeth, by means of 3D surface models superimposition and mapping. Methods: The sample consisted of six adult patients, five female and one male, with a mean age of 23.5 ± 6.5 years, who underwent orthodontic treatment. All patients presented bimaxillary dental protrusion, with indication of maxillary and mandibular first premolar extractions, followed by the retraction of anterior teeth and space closure. Cone beam CT scans were performed before the beginning of the treatment (T0) and right after space closure (T1). 3D models were built at both times and superimposed to identify the root changes for the given period. Results: All average differences were close to zero and, even when evaluating the extreme values, the observed changes were always smaller than the accuracy of the CBCT. Conclusion: A mild resorption trend was observed, although it was not clinically significant, with values lower than the tomography accuracy.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the prevalence and severity of malocclusion and its impact on oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and self-reported satisfaction of patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa. Methods: The sample consisted of sixty women who attended a specialized mental health clinic of a Brazilian medical school. Participants were distributed into two groups: patients with anorexia and bulimia nervosa (ABN; n=30) and control patients without eating disorders (CN; n=30). The dental occlusion was evaluated by the Dental Aesthetic Index; the OHRQoL was assessed using the OHIP-14 questionnaire; and the self-reported satisfaction with the appearance of teeth, speech ability and chewing was obtained by interviews. Results: Severe and very severe malocclusion were observed in 26.67% and 46.67% of patients in the ABN group, respectively, while the CN group showed 80.00% of patients without abnormality/mild malocclusion. ABN group showed a higher proportion of patients (p < 0.05) with tooth loss, spacing in the region of incisors, maxillary misalignment, and mandibular misalignment in relation to CN group. ABN group presented lower (p< 0.05) OHRQoL and self-reported satisfaction with the appearance of teeth, speech ability and chewing, compared to the CN group. There was a significant positive correlation (p< 0.05) between the Dental Aesthetic Index and OHIP-14 scores in the ABN group. Conclusions: The prevalence of severe malocclusion in ABN group was high, with a negative impact on OHRQoL and self-reported satisfaction with the chewing ability, speech ability and appearance of teeth.
O presente fugidio das crises constitucionais: uma interrogação acerca da questão concernindo a Modernidade da Constituição
Authors: Diniz Ricardo Martins Spindola
Published: June 2022

Resumo Denunciam-se crises constitucionais a todo o momento. Ainda que cada vez mais a capacidade de mobilização popular desse conceito venha diminuindo, em que cada vez menos pessoas se vejam dispostas a ir às ruas em defesa da Constituição em crise, o conceito de crise retém, incontestavelmente, sua importância, tanto retórica como historiográfica. Não obstante, uma teoria das crises constitucionais resta ausente. O presente artigo se propõe a enfrentar essa ausência, interrogando-a tanto na literatura dedicada ao conceito de crises constitucionais quanto questionando o sentido dessa ausência em sua conexão com o conceito de Constituição ele próprio.
Vozes dos criadores e números da criatura: a comunicação das arboviroses no Facebook do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil

A pesquisa analisa a produção de conteúdos sobre arboviroses na fanpage do Ministério da Saúde do Brasil antes, durante e após a epidemia de Zika vírus, com estudo de métodos mistos englobando análise do conteúdo divulgado entre 2015 e 2017 e o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo (DSC) dos trabalhadores que produziam os conteúdos. Dos 5.732 posts coletados, 649 deles eram sobre arboviroses, com enfoque maior relacionado à prevenção e à Zika. O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) aparece em pequena parte da amostra. Há preocupação em comunicar saúde com qualidade e respaldo técnico, mas diferenças na linguagem do especialista e no timming entre o que é publicado on-line e o repassado aos serviços de saúde ocasionam ruídos. O discurso é transmissional, apresentando ausência de diálogo com a população, subestimando o potencial que a rede social tem para interação, compartilhamento e engajamento.
Exploring the impacts of non-native leaf litter on invertebrate community and leaf decomposition in a Atlantic Forest stream

Abstract: Aim In this study, we examined the effects of non-native leaf litter on the functioning of an Atlantic Forest stream ecosystem. Methods Were tested two predictions: (i) Leaf litter from the native trees with high nutritional quality will have higher decomposer’s activity and faster litter decomposition; (ii) Given the presence of anti-grazing defenses, we also hypothesized that non-native leaf litter would be colonized by fewer invertebrates and that native species would be more species-rich. For this, in a forest stream (Florianópolis, SC, Brazil) we conduct the experiment to understand the decomposition and biological colonization of leaf litter among two non-native (Eucalyptus sp. and Pinus radiata D. Don) and two native trees (Ficus eximia Schott and Alchornea triplinervia (Spreng) Mull. Arg). Results Our predictions were partially corroborated. The percentage of dry mass remaining was lower for the native leaf litter. The invertebrate abundance and richness, and functional feeding groups vary between native and non-native leaf litter. Invertebrate abundance was higher in non-native Eucalyptus detritus, largely due to the high larval abundance of Chironomidae (Diptera). Conclusions Our results indicate that the presence of non-native riparian species can modify leaf decomposition and aquatic invertebrate communities in subtropical streams, with potential consequences for ecosystem functioning.

Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1/4 (IRAK1/4) is the main kinase of the Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated pathway, considered a new target for treating inflammatory diseases. Studies showed a significant correlation between TLRs and inflammatory responses in ulcerative colitis (UC). Therefore, in this study, after inducing experimental colitis in mice with 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS), different concentrations of IRAK1/4 inhibitors were administered intraperitoneally. Then, the disease activity index was assessed, including the degree of pathological damage, by HE staining. Subsequently, while western blotting detected the TLR4/NF-κB pathway and intestinal barrier protein expression (Zonula-1, Occludin, Claudin-1, JAM-A), real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detected the mRNA expression levels of IRAK1/4 and mucin1/2. Furthermore, the expression levels of Zonula-1 and occludin were detected by immunofluorescence, including the plasma FITC-dextran 4000 concentration, to evaluate intestinal barrier permeability. However, ELISA measured the expression of inflammatory factors to reflect intestinal inflammation in mice. Investigations showed that the IRAK 1/4 inhibitor significantly reduced clinical symptoms and pathological DSS-induced colitis damage in mice and then inhibited the cytoplasmic and nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65, including the phosphorylation of IκBα and reduction in downstream inflammatory factor production. Therefore, we established that the IRAK1/4 inhibitor effectively improves colitis induced by DSS, partly by inhibiting the TLR4/NF-κB pathway, reducing inflammation, and maintaining the integrity of the colonic barrier.
