S100 proteins, cytokines, and chemokines as tear biomarkers in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis.

Ocular immunology and inflammation
PURPOSE: Biomarkers for juvenile idiopathic arthritis-associated uveitis (JIA-U) are needed. We aimed to measure inflammatory biomarkers in tears as a non-invasive method to identify biomarkers of uveitis activity.

In vitro intestinal epithelium responses to titanium dioxide nanoparticles.

Food research international (Ottawa, Ont.)
Titanium dioxide (TiO) is enclosed in many consumer products including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and foods. TiO (E171) is daily ingested as mixed nano- and submicron-sized particles since it is approved as a white colorant in Europe in a wide varie...

Mixed Th2 and non-Th2 inflammatory pattern in the asthma-COPD overlap: a network approach.

International journal of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
INTRODUCTION: The asthma-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) overlap (ACO) is a clinical condition that combines features of those two diseases, and that is difficult to define due to the lack of understanding of the underlying mechanisms. D...

Sludge reflects intra-amniotic inflammation with or without microorganisms.

American journal of reproductive immunology (New York, N.Y. : 1989)
PROBLEM: To investigate whether amniotic fluid (AF) "sludge" in patients with preterm labor (PTL) with intact membranes is related to intra-amniotic infection or inflammation.

Candida albicans-derived mannoproteins activate NF-κB in reporter cells expressing TLR4, MD2 and CD14.

PloS one
The ability of soluble C. albicans 20A (serotype A) mannoprotein (CMP) to serve as a ligand for toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and its co-receptors was examined using commercially available and stably-transfected HEK293 cells that express human TLR4, MD...

INHIBITORY ACTIVITY OF MANGIFERIN ON PYLORI-INDUCED INFLAMMATION IN HUMAN GASTRIC CARCINOMA AGS CELLS.

African journal of traditional, complementary, and alternative medicines : AJTCAM
BACKGROUND: Gastric cancer is a serious health issue caused by and claims more lives in developing and undeveloped countries. Hence, the need for a natural drug with several pharmacological activities with no adverse effect are highly recommended. T...

Interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 levels in children with aplastic anemia and its correlation with disease severity and response to immunosuppressive therapy.

Annals of African medicine
BACKGROUND: Aplastic anemia (AA) is an uncommon condition characterized by pancytopenia and hypocellular bone marrow. Interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8 have been shown to inhibit myelopoiesis and are major mediators of tissue damage. The primary goal of th...

[Role of interleukin-17 in alveolar fluid clearance in mice with acute lung injury].

Nan fang yi ke da xue xue bao = Journal of Southern Medical University
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of interleukin-17 (IL-17) in alveolar fluid clearance in mice with acute lung injury (ALI) and explore the possible mechanism.

Interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 in diagnosing neonatal septicemia.

Journal of biological regulators and homeostatic agents
Neonatal septicemia (NS) is a common cause of death of newborn infants, hence early diagnosis and treatment are of the utmost importance. However, lack of specific clinical symptoms and late detection delay a correct diagnosis. It is therefore of gre...
