Immunoregulatory cytokines and chronic tonsillitis.
The purposes of the present study were to determine the distribution of cells producing cytokines: tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in different morphological sections of tonsils in patients with tonsillar hypertrophy (TH) and recurrent tonsillitis (RT), to analyze the level of production of these cytokines in TH and RT and evaluate the potential of peripheral blood lymp...

Diagnosis of acute tonsillitis is clinical, and it can be difficult to distinguish viral from bacterial infections. R...
متن کاملDistribution of dipeptidyl peptidase IV in patients with chronic tonsillitis.
In the pathogeneses of recurrent tonsillitis (RT) and tonsillar hypertrophy (TH), different immunological mechanisms are involved. Dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) and aminopeptidase N (APN) participate in the regulation of the immune response during inflammation. In this study, the localization of DPP IV and the enzymatic activities of DPP IV and APN in 32 patients, 13 with RT and 19 with TH, ...
متن کاملN-acetyl-b-hexosaminidase in chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy
Background: The concentration and specific activity of N-acetyl-b-hexosaminidase (HEX) in palatine tonsils with chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy give insight in tonsillar tissue remodeling and constitute a potential marker for diagnosis and treatment of chronic tonsillitis and tonsillar hypertrophy. Aim: Determining the concentration and specific activity of N-acetyl-b-hexosaminida...
