    Biomechanical and histological data from abdominal aortas harvested in autopsy
    (2021) GOMES, Vivian Carla; SILVA, Luiz Fernando Ferraz da; RAGHAVAN, Madhavan Lakshmi; GOMES, Jorge; SILVESTRE, Gina Camillo; QUEIROZ, Alexandre; MARQUES, Michele Alberto; ZYNGIER, Selene Perrotti; CHUNG, Timothy Kwang-Joon; SILVA, Erasmo Simao da
    This data article describes biomechanical and histological information of abdominal aortas harvested in autopsy. Eight abdominal aorta aneurysms (AAA) and 30 normal diameter abdominal aortas were collected and submitted to an inflation test up to their rupture. This inflation procedure was part of the research entitled ?Experimental study of rupture pressure and elasticity of abdominal aortic aneurysms found at autopsy?, submitted to Annals of Vascular Surgery. The rupture borders and control samples (harvested from places other than the rupture site) were submitted to uniaxial destructive tensile test and to histological analysis. The following variables were evaluated in the biomechanical test: failure stress, failure tension and failure strain. The histological processing of the samples enabled a quantitative analysis of the percentage of coverage of collagen fibers and elastic fibers in the samples. The present data could be reutilized because they are experi-mental evidence that cadaveric abdominal aortas, even when previously stressed by inflation, conserve significant resis-tance against tearing comparable to no previously stressed aortas described in the literature. Considering real whole ca-daveric AAAs are especially scarce, this information would be a useful reference source for further in-depth research in the aortic biomechanics field. (C) 2021 The Authors.

    Anacardic Acids from Cashew Nuts Ameliorate Lung Damage Induced by Exposure to Diesel Exhaust Particles in Mice
    (2013) CARVALHO, Ana Laura Nicoletti; ANNONI, Raquel; TORRES, Larissa Helena Lobo; DURAO, Ana Carolina Cardoso Santos; SHIMADA, Ana Lucia Borges; ALMEIDA, Francine Maria; HEBEDA, Cristina Bichels; LOPES, Fernanda Degobbi Tenorio Quirino Santos; DOLHNIKOFF, Marisa; MARTINS, Milton Arruda; SILVA, Luiz Fernando Ferraz; FARSKY, Sandra Helena Poliselli; SALDIVA, Paulo Hilario Nascimento; ULRICH, Cornelia M.; OWEN, Robert W.; MARCOURAKIS, Tania; TREVISAN, Maria Teresa Salles; MAUAD, Thais
    Anacardic acids from cashew nut shell liquid, a Brazilian natural substance, have antimicrobial and antioxidant activities and modulate immune responses and angiogenesis. As inflammatory lung diseases have been correlated to environmental pollutants exposure and no reports addressing the effects of dietary supplementation with anacardic acids on lung inflammation in vivo have been evidenced, we investigated the effects of supplementation with anacardic acids in a model of diesel exhaust particle-(DEP-) induced lung inflammation. BALB/c mice received an intranasal instillation of 50 mu g of DEP for 20 days. Ten days prior to DEP instillation, animals were pretreated orally with 50, 150, or 250mg/kg of anacardic acids or vehicle (100 mu L of cashew nut oil) for 30 days. The biomarkers of inflammatory and antioxidant responses in the alveolar parenchyma, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and pulmonary vessels were investigated. All doses of anacardic acids ameliorated antioxidant enzyme activities and decreased vascular adhesion molecule in vessels. Animals that received 50mg/kg of anacardic acids showed decreased levels of neutrophils and tumor necrosis factor in the lungs and BALF, respectively. In summary, we demonstrated that AAs supplementation has a potential protective role on oxidative and inflammatory mechanisms in the lungs.

    Methotrexate for refractory adult atopic dermatitis leads to alterations in cutaneous IL-31 and IL-31RA expression
    (2024) SAMORANO, Luciana Paula; MANFRERE, Kelly Cristina Gomes; PEREIRA, Naiura Vieira; TAKAOKA, Roberto; VALENTE, Neusa Yuriko Sakai; SOTTO, Mirian Nacagami; SILVA, Luiz Fernando Ferraz; SATO, Maria Notomi; AOKI, Valeria
    Background: Methotrexate (MTX) is an alternative treatment for patients with moderate/severe atopic dermatitis (AD). Objective: The authors evaluated the effect of MTX on the cutaneous expression of cytokines and chemokines that are involved in the inflammatory response in adult AD patients who received treatment with methotrexate for 24 weeks. Methods: The authors conducted a prospective single-institution cohort study with 12 adults with moderate/severe AD who received oral MTX (15 mg/wk for 24 wks) and 10 non-atopic matched controls. The comparison was made of skin biopsies of lesional and non-lesional skin, pre- and post MTX treatment. The authors analyzed mean epidermal thickness and expression of IL-31, IL-31RA, OSMR, TSLP, Ki67, IL-4 mRNA, IL-6, IL-10, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, TARC, and CCL-22. Results: There was a reduction in mean epidermal thickness (p = 0.021), an increase in IL-31RA expression (immunohistochemistry) in the epidermis (p = 0.016) and a decrease in IL-31 gene expression (p = 0.019) on lesional AD skin post-MTX treatment. No significant changes in the cutaneous expression of the other evaluated markers were identified. Study limitations: Small sample size and limited length of follow-up. Conclusions: Treatment with MTX in adults with moderate/severe AD reduced epidermal hyperplasia and changed the cutaneous expression of inflammatory cytokines and receptors that are mainly related to pruritus, including IL-31 and IL-31RA.

    (2011) BUEHLER, Rogerio B.; SENNES, Luiz U.; TSUJI, Domingos H.; MAUAD, Thais; SILVA, Luiz Ferraz da; SALDIVA, Paulo N.
    Objective: To analyze the distributions of collagen type I, collagen type III, and versican in the lamina propria of the human vocal fold. Design: Cross-sectional analysis of cadaveric vocal folds of adult human larynges. Setting: Academic tertiary referral center. Subjects: Larynges harvested at autopsy from 10 adult men and 10 adult women. Main Outcome Measures: Immunohistochemical reactions were performed using antihuman monoclonal antibodies to analyze the expression of collagen type I, collagen type III, and versican. Results: Collagen type I density was lower in the intermediate layer compared with the superficial and deep layers of vocal folds. Collagen type III density was lower in the intermediate layer compared with the deep layer. Versican density was lower in the superficial layer compared with the intermediate and deep layers. Versican density was lower in the lamina propria of women compared with men; this difference was noted in the superficial layer only. There was a positive correlation between collagen type III and versican densities within the lamina propria. Conclusion: Collagen type I, collagen type III, and versican are distributed differently within the lamina propria layers of the adult vocal folds.

    (2023) GIUGNI, Fernando Rabioglio; DEMARCHIAIELLO, Vera; FARIA, Caroline Silverio; POUR, Shahab Zaki; CUNHA, Marielton dos Passos; GIUGNI, Melina Valdo; PINESI, Henrique Trombini; LEDESMA, Felipe Lourenco; MORAIS, Carolina Esteves; HO, Yeh-Li; SZTAJNBOK, Jaques; FERNEZLIAN, Sandra de Morais; SILVA, Luiz Fernando Ferraz da; MAUAD, Thais; ALVES, Venancio Avancini Ferreira; SALDIVA, Paulo Hilario do Nascimento; ANTONANGELO, Leila; DOLHNIKOFF, Marisa; DUARTE-NETO, Amaro Nunes
    Background Yellow fever (YF) is a viral hemorrhagic fever, endemic in parts of South America and Africa. There is scarce evidence about the pathogenesis of the myocardial injury. The objective of this study is to evaluate the cardiac pathology in fatal cases of YF.Methods This retrospective autopsy study included cases from the Sao Paulo (Brazil) epidemic of 2017-2019. We reviewed medical records and performed cardiac tissue histopathological evaluation, electron microscopy, immunohistochemical assays, RT-qPCR for YF virus (YFV)-RNA, and proteomics analysis on inflammatory and endothelial biomarkers.Findings Seventy-three confirmed YF cases with a median age of 48 (34-60) years were included. We observed myocardial fibrosis in 68 (93.2%) patients; cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in 68 (93.2%); endothelial alterations in 67 (91.8%); fiber necrosis in 50 (68.5%); viral myocarditis in 9 (12.3%); and secondary myocarditis in 5 (6.8%). Four out of five patients with 17DD vaccine-associated viscerotropic disease presented with myocarditis. The cardiac conduction system showed edema, hemorrhages and endothelial fibrinoid necrosis. Immunohistochemistry detected CD68-positive inflammatory interstitial cells and YFV antigens in endothelial and inflammatory cells. YFV-RNA was detected positive in 95.7% of the cardiac samples. The proteomics analysis demonstrated that YF patients had higher levels of multiple inflammatory and endothelial biomarkers in comparison to cardiovascular controls, and higher levels of interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10) in comparison to sepsis (p = 0.01) and cardiovascular controls (p < 0.001) in Dunn test.Interpretation Myocardial injury is frequent in severe YF, due to multifactorial mechanisms, including direct YFV-mediated damage, endothelial cell injury, and inflammatory response, with a possible prominent role for IP-10.
