Does health literacy reinforce disease knowledge gain? : a prospective observational study of hungarian COPD patients

Papp-Zipernovszky, Orsolya ; Csabai, Márta ; Schulz, Peter J. ; Varga, János T.

In: Journal of clinical medicine, 2021, vol. 10, no. 17, p. 13

We set out to measure the health literacy (HL) of COPD patients using the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy (S- TOFHLA), perception-based screening questions (BHLS), and a specific disease knowledge test (COPD-Q). Our main focus is the relationship between functional HL and patients’ disease-knowledge, which contributes to the clarification of the relationship between the different...

PARP inhibition induces Akt-mediated cytoprotective effects through the formation of a mitochondria-targeted phospho-ATM-NEMO-Akt-mTOR signalosome

Tapodi, Antal ; Bognar, Zita ; Szabo, Csaba ; Gallyas, Ferenc ; Sumegi, Balázs ; Hocsak, Enikő

In: Biochemical Pharmacology, 2019, vol. 162, p. 98–108

The cytoprotective effect of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) inhibition is well documented in various cell types subjected to oxidative stress. Previously, we have demonstrated that PARP1 inhibition activates Akt, and showed that this response plays a critical role in the maintenance of mitochondrial integrity and in cell survival. However, it has not yet been defined how nuclear PARP1...

Deciphering the biology of Cryptophyllachora eurasiatica gen. et sp. nov., an often cryptic pathogen of an allergenic weed, Ambrosia artemisiifolia

Kiss, Levente ; Kovács, Gábor M. ; Bóka, Károly ; Bohár, Gyula ; Bohárné, Krisztina Varga ; Németh, Márk Z. ; Takamatsu, Susumu ; Shin, Hyeon-Dong ; Hayova, Vera ; Nischwitz, Claudia ; Seier, Marion K. ; Evans, Harry C. ; Cannon, Paul F. ; Ash, Gavin James ; Shivas, Roger G. ; Müller-Schärer, Heinz

In: Scientific Reports, 2018, vol. 8, no. 1, p. 10806

A little known, unculturable ascomycete, referred to as Phyllachora ambrosiae, can destroy the inflorescences of Ambrosia artemisiifolia, an invasive agricultural weed and producer of highly allergenic pollen. The fungus often remains undetectable in ragweed populations. This work was conducted to understand its origin and pathogenesis, a prerequisite to consider its potential as a biocontrol...

Menthol evokes Ca2+ signals and induces oxidative stress independently of the presence of TRPM8 (menthol) receptor in cancer cells

Nazıroğlu, Mustafa ; Blum, Walter ; Jósvay, Katalin ; Çiğ, Bilal ; Henzi, Thomas ; Oláh, Zoltán ; Vizler, Csaba ; Schwaller, Beat ; Pecze, László

In: Redox Biology, 2018, vol. 14, p. 439–449

Menthol is a naturally occurring monoterpene alcohol possessing remarkable biological properties including antipruritic, analgesic, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and cooling effects. Here, we examined the menthol-evoked Ca2+ signals in breast and prostate cancer cell lines. The effect of menthol (50–500µM) was predicted to be mediated by the transient receptor potential ion channel...
