Abstract

Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is an autumnal herbaceous triploid plant; it is the source of saffron spice, recognized as the most expensive spice in the world. In this study, genetic diversity among 14 saffron accessions collected from different ancestral geographic areas in Morocco, Greece and France were assessed using inter-simple sequence repeats (ISSRs) markers system. Ten ISSR primers were amplified into a total of 143 fragments, of which 44.05 % are polymorphic with an average of 6.3 polymorphic fragments per each primer and average of polymorphic information content (PIC) of 0.236. ISSR markers proved to be a powerful tool for assessment of genetic diversity among saffron accessions. Cluster analysis using unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA), based on Jaccard's similarity coefficient and supported by the principal coordinate analysis (PCoA), divided the studied accessions into three major groups, and showed that genetic distance is independent of geographical distance. In this paper, we report for the first time the level of genetic diversity among Moroccan saffron; this information allows an unequivocal development of a suitable approach for the conservation of C. sativus germplasm and reduce its genetic erosion.

Abstract

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) are distinct liver diseases. Cases combining PBC and PSC, are extremely rare. Here, we present a case of a 39-year-old woman with a history of colonic Crohn's disease treated with azathioprine. Discontinuation of the medication was prompted by abnormal liver function tests, but subsequent evaluations revealed persistent liver injury. Extensive diagnostic investigations, including imaging, serological tests, and liver biopsy, were conducted leading to a diagnosis of PBC-PSC overlap syndrome based on the presence of concentric lamellar fibrosis and chronic non-suppurative destructive cholangitis. The patient responded well to ursodeoxycholic acid treatment. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing and diagnosing rare overlap syndromes, particularly those involving PBC and PSC, to ensure appropriate management and improve patient outcomes., Competing Interests: The authors have no competing interests or relevant affiliations with any organization or entity with the subject matter or materials discussed in the manuscript.

Abstract

Background: Systemic sclerosis (SS) is an autoimmune disorder that may result in diverse esophageal motor disorders. Typical manometric disorders include decreased lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure, absent contractility and ineffective peristalsis., Aims: The aims of the study were to assess esophageal motor abnormalities in SS patients using high resolution manometry and to evaluate clinical and endoscopic features that are associated with manometric findings., Methods: Patients with SS who underwent esophageal high-resolution manometry (HRM) between December 2016 and August 2020 were enrolled in the study. Data regarding demographics and symptom frequency were obtained through a questionnaire. Chicago classification criteria (V3.0.) were used for defining esophageal dysmotility., Results: A total of 49 patients were enrolled in the study. Median age was 56 ±13.4 years. High-resolution manometry showed that absent contractility (n= 24; 49%) and ineffective motility (n=14; 28.6%) were the most frequent motor abnormalities. One case of esophageal gastric junction (EGJ) outflow obstruction was observed in a female patient. A hypotensive LES was observed in 18 patients (36.7%). Absent contractility was associated with regurgitations (=0.013), and erosive esophagitis (p=0.003)., Conclusion: Absent contractility and ineffective motility were the most common esophageal contractile patterns among our patients. Patients with absent contractility experienced more frequently regurgitations and had more often erosive esophagitis.

Abstract

Introduction and Objectives: For long, bleeding in cirrhotic patients has been associated with acquired coagulation disorders. The aim of our study was to investigate the impact of acquired coagulation disorders on bleeding risk in cirrhotic patients., Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 51 cirrhotic patients with (H+) or without (H-) bleeding events and 50 controls matched by age and sex. Thrombin generation was assessed as endogenous thrombin potential (ETP). Hemostatic balance was assessed by means of ratios of pro- to anticoagulant factors and by ETP ratio with/without protein C (PC) activator (ETP ratio)., Results: Bleeding events occurred in 9 patients (17.6%). Compared with controls, VIII/anticoagulant factors, VII/PC and XII/PC were significantly higher in (H+) patients. No significant difference as regards all ratios across patient groups was detected. ETP ratio was significantly higher in (H+) patients than in controls (p=0.017). However, there was no significant difference between patient groups as regards ETP ratio., Conclusion: Hemostatic balance is shifted toward a hypercoagulability state even in cirrhotic patients who experienced bleeding. These findings provide evidence against traditional concept of hemostasis-related bleeding tendency in cirrhotic patients., (Copyright © 2019 Fundación Clínica Médica Sur, A.C.

Abstract

Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are the principal inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) which physiopathology is currently poorly elucidated. During these diseases, the participation of the epithelial cell in the installation and the perpetuation of the intestinal inflammation is now clearly implicated. In fact, the intestinal epithelium located at the interface between the internal environment and the intestinal luminal, is key to the homeostatic regulation of the intestinal barrier. This barrier can schematically be regarded as being three barriers in one: a physical, chemical and immune barrier. The barrier function of epithelial cell can be altered by various mechanisms as occurs in IBD. The goal of this article is to review the literature on the role of the epithelial cell in intestinal homeostasis and its implication in the IBD., (© 2013 médecine/sciences – Inserm.)

Abstract

Incidence of tuberculosis infection has considerably increased during the past 20 years due to the HIV pandemic and continues to be one of the most prevalent and deadly infections worldwide. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis lacks specific clinical manifestation and can mimic many diseases. It can invade neighbouring tissue and form a big cyst with manifesting clinical symptoms. We describe a rare case of 31-year-old immunocompetent man affected by a retroperitoneal abscess secondary to tubercular infection. Exploratory laparotomy and histopathological examinations of tissue were required for achieving diagnosis of tuberculosis. No pulmonary or spinal involvement was identified. The patient was successfully treated with standard four-drug antitubercular therapy.

Abstract

Background: The present paper deals with the relationship between health indicators and human development in the Arab region. Beyond descriptive analysis showing geographic similarities and disparities inter countries, the main purpose is to point out health deficiencies and to propose pragmatic strategies susceptible to improve health conditions and consequently enhance human development in the Arab world., Methods: Data analysis using Principal Components Analysis is used to compare the achievements of the Arab countries in terms of direct and indirect health indicators. The variables (indicators) are seen to be well represented on the circle of correlation, allowing for interesting interpretation and analysis. The 19 countries are projected on the first and second plane respectively., Results: The results given by the present analysis give a good panorama of the Arab countries with their geographic similarities and disparities. The high correlation between health indicators and human development is well illustrated and consequently, countries are classified by groups having similar human development. The analysis shows clearly how health deficits are impeding human development in the majority of Arab countries and allows us to formulate suggestions to improve health conditions and enhance human development in the Arab World., Discussion: The discussion is based on the link between different direct and indirect health indicators and the relationship between these indicators and human development index. Without including the GDP indicator, our analysis has shown that the 19 Arab countries may be classified, independently of their geographic proximity, in three different groups according to their global human development level (Low, Medium and High). Consequently, while identifying health deficiencies in each group, the focus was made on the countries presenting a high potential of improvement in health indicators. In particular, maternal mortality and infant mortality which are really challenging health authorities of the first and third group were critically discussed., Conclusion: The Arab countries have made substantial economic and social progress during the last decades by improving life expectancy and reducing maternal and infant mortality. However, considering its natural wealth and human resources, the Arab region has accomplished less than expected in terms of human development. Huge social inequalities and health inequities exist inter and intra Arab countries. In most Arab countries, a large percentage of populations, especially in rural areas, are deprived of access to health facilities. Consequently, many women still die during pregnancy and labour, yielding unacceptable levels of maternal and infant mortality. However, the problem is seen to be more complex, going beyond geography and technical accessibility to health care, it compasses, among others, levels of literacy, low social and economic status of women, qualification of health staff, general behaviour and interactions between patients and medical personnel (including corruption).
