A study was conducted to the level of anti-inflammatory (IL-4) and pro-inflammatory (IL-1β, IL-6, IFNγ, TNFα) cytokines in 28 women with physiological pregnancy third trimester 23 incipient labor. It found that prenatal period, IL-1β IL-8 increases sharply, IL-4 decreases sharply. The levels IL-6 TNFα are also slightly elevated. Therefore, pro- parturient a physiologically proceeding is great i...

The review aims to elucidate the potential of microglia as a therapeutic target in alleviating Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Microglia are the resident immune cells in the brain which respond to the presence of the hallmarks of AD, amyloid-beta (A beta) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). Activated microglia are able to phagocytose and secrete pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines...

inflammatory responses and innate immunologic reactions play an important role in the respiratory system. ex vivo lung perfusion (evlp) is considered a novel method in the evaluation and reconditioning of donor lungs prior to transplantation. however, evlp’s effect on inflammatory and metabolic markers of human lung tissue is unknown. this study investigated how the performance of evlp on brain...

Objective: In the present study, we aimed to examine the effect of troxerutin treatment on levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), as pro-inflammatory cytokines, in the blood and hippocampus of high-fat diet (HFD) fed dams and their male offspring. <span ...

Inflammation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes, the prevalence of which is increased in individuals with diabetes. Monocytes and macrophages, T cells and mast cells contribute to the initiation, development and rupture of atherosclerotic plaques by synthesising a variety of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin 1β, interleukin 6 and tumour necrosis...

− Immediate-type hypersensitivity is involved in many allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and anaphylaxis. The discovery of drugs for the treatment of allergic disease is an important subject in human health. Stimulation of mast cells releases inflammatory mediators, such as histamine and pro-inflammatory cytokines with immune regulatory properties. We investigated the effect of...

During the global COVID-19 pandemic, the rate of mortality and morbidity was fairly low in Pakistan compared to western countries. Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination provides cross-protection for a broad range of related and unrelated pathogens. This protection is attributed to the recognition of broadly cross-reactive Pathogen-Associated Molecular Pattern (PAMPS) like molecules. We inve...

Background: Type II Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial disease and a leading cause of premature deaths. Inflammatory cytokines are reported that they have potential to enhance insulin resistance and hence T2DM. Assessment of immunological profile in T2DM patients of Kashmir valley is unclear. So, detection of cytokines is relevant to determine the extent and direction of immune respon...

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced keratitis is a progressive infectious ocular disease in which innate inflammatory responses often cause clinical tissue damage and vision loss. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of tacrolimus, an effective immunomodulator, on LPS‑induced innate immune responses. The effects of tacrolimus on the apoptotic rate and viability of human corneal epith...

The purpose of the study was to conduct a comparative synthesis pro-inflammatory cytokines, state cellular immunity, free radical oxidation reactions and antioxidant protection in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis without relapse. Material methods. carried out on two groups patients: first group basic which included 39 relapsed (TBR); 2nd control non-relapsed (TB). Pro-inflammatory cytokines...
