Modelling the King Island bushfire smoke
On 11 January 2001 thick smoke was transported behind a cold front from the Lavinia Nature Reserve in the northeast corner of King Island, some 250 km to the northeast (see Fig. 1 for locations) to the Melbourne area. This event led to the highest level of particulate recorded (at the time) in Melbourne since the Ash Wednesday bushfires and the Melbourne Dust Storm of 1983. The smoke from the K...
متن کاملRibosomal protein S19 interacts with macrophage migration inhibitory factor and attenuates its pro-inflammatory function.
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pleiotropic cytokine that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders such as infection, sepsis, and autoimmune disease. MIF exists preformed in cytoplasmic pools and exhibits an intrinsic tautomerase and oxidoreductase activity. MIF levels are elevated in the serum of animals and patients with infection or different inflam...
متن کاملExposure to bushfire smoke and asthma: an ecological study.
OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between the mean daily concentration of respirable particles arising from bushfire smoke and hospital presentations for asthma. DESIGN AND SETTING An ecological study conducted in Darwin (Northern Territory, Australia) from 1 April - 31 October 2000, a period characterised by minimal rainfall and almost continuous bushfire activity in the proximate bushla...
متن کاملThe pro-fibrotic and anti-inflammatory foam cell macrophage paradox.
The formation of foamy macrophages by sequestering extracellular modified lipids is a key event in atherosclerosis. However, there is controversy about the effects of lipid loading on macrophage phenotype, with in vitro evidence suggesting either pro- or anti-inflammatory consequences. To investigate this in vivo we compared the transcriptomes of foamy and non-foamy macrophages that accumulate ...
متن کاملButein, a tetrahydroxychalcone, suppresses pro-inflammatory responses in HaCaT keratinocytes
Up-regulation of cell adhesion molecules and pro-inflammatory cytokines contributes to enhanced monocyte adhesiveness and infiltration into the skin, during the pathogenesis of various inflammatory skin diseases, including atopic dermatitis. In this study, we examined the anti-inflammatory effects of butein, a tetrahydroxychalcone, and its action mechanisms using TNF-α-stimulated keratinocytes....
