Abstract The etiology of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, the two major forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is still largely unknown. However, it is now clear that the abnormalities underlying pathogenesis of intestinal inflammation are not restricted to...

Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on flow-mediated vasodilation: an ultrasound study.
Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) by ultrasound examination. We studied 14 young patients without cardiovascular problems who underwent HBO treatment. The...
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is as effective as dexamethasone in the treatment of TNBS-E-induced experimental colitis.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been demonstrated to be useful as an adjunctive therapy for Crohn's disease. In the present study, HBO was tested as a treatment for trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid-ethanol (TNBS-E)-induced distal colitis, and its effects were...
The effect of acute psychologic stress on systemic and rectal mucosal measures of inflammation in ulcerative colitis
Abstract Background & aims: Recent studies suggest that life events and chronic stress increase the risk of relapse in inflammatory bowel disease. Our aim was to study the effects of acute psychologic stress on systemic and rectal mucosal inflammatory responses in...
Acute and severe hypobaric hypoxia increases oxidative stress and impairs mitochondrial function in mouse skeletal muscle
Abstract Severe high-altitude hypoxia exposure is considered a triggering stimulus for redox disturbances at distinct levels of cellular organization. The effect of an in vivo acute and severe hypobaric hypoxic insult (48 h at a pressure equivalent to 8,500 m) on...
Hyperbaric oxygen enhances the efficiency of 5-aminosalicylic acid in acetic acid-induced colitis in rats.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of hyperbaric oxygen alone and in combination with 5-aminosalicylic acid in the acetic acid-induced colitis model, a well-known experimental model of inflammatory bowel disease in rats. Rats were randomly...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on experimental acute distal colitis.
Abstract: It has been demonstrated that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is useful as an adjunctive therapy for Crohn's disease. However, its effects on ulcerative colitis have not been investigated. In the present study, HBO was tested for acetic acid-induced colitis, and...
Effect of hyperbaric oxygen on experimental acute distal colitis.
Abstract: It has been demonstrated that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is useful as an adjunctive therapy for Crohn's disease. However, its effects on ulcerative colitis have not been investigated. In the present study, HBO was tested for acetic acid-induced colitis, and...
The vascular contribution in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease
Abstract: The two major forms of human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), represent classic chronic inflammatory disorders, characterized by progressive destructive inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Although...
