Radiation-induced inflammation and autoimmune diseases
Currently, ionizing radiation (IR) plays a key role in the agricultural and medical industry, while accidental exposure resulting from leakage of radioactive sources or radiological terrorism is a serious concern. Exposure to IR has various detrimental effects on normal tissues. Although an increased risk of carcinogenesis is the best-known long-term consequence of IR, evidence has shown that o...
متن کاملMyocardial inflammation in autoimmune diseases: investigation by cardiovascular magnetic resonance and endomyocardial biopsy.
INTRODUCTION Myocardial inflammation often coexists with different types of autoimmune diseases. Our aim was to investigate the presence of myocarditis in these patients by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) and endomyocardial biopsy. PATIENTS-METHODS Twenty patients, aged 20-55 yrs with autoimmune diseases and cardiac symptoms (3 with Takayasu's arteritis, 3 with systemic lupus erythema...
متن کاملRole of Interleukin-37 in Inflammatory and Autoimmune Diseases
Interleukin-1 family 7 (IL-1F7) is a novel member of IL-1F cytokines. IL-1F7 is more commonly known as IL-37. IL-37 join the α-subunit of the IL-18 receptor, or IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), and binding of these proteins can enhance the IL-18 suppression. IL-37 also translocates to the cell nucleus and affects gene transcription. IL-37 inhibits the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated pr...
متن کاملImmunofluorescence Pattern of Autoimmune Bullous Diseases in Iranian Patients
Background & Objective: Autoimmune bullous diseases are associated with autoimmunity against structural components in the skin and mucous membranes. Autoantibodies are against the intercellular junctions in pemphigus disease and hemidesmosomal unchoring complex in pemphigiod diseases and epidermolysis bullosa aquisita. The tissue-bound and circulating serum autoantibodies can be detect...
متن کاملOmega-3 fatty acids in inflammation and autoimmune diseases.
Among the fatty acids, it is the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) which possess the most potent immunomodulatory activities, and among the omega-3 PUFA, those from fish oil-eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)--are more biologically potent than alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Some of the effects of omega-3 PUFA are brought about by modulation of the amount and types ...
