Hypertension is characterized by a pro-inflammatory status, including redox imbalance and increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which may be exacerbated after heat exposure. However, the effects of heat exposure, specifically in individuals with inflammatory chronic diseases such as hypertension, are complex and not well understood. This study compared the effects of heat exposure on ...

Nineteen bisthiazoles were tested in order to assess their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. First, we evaluated the in vitro direct antioxidant capacity of the bisthiazoles using the DPPH radical scavenging method. Then, the anti-inflammatory effect was tested in acute rat experimental inflammation by measuring the acute phase bone marrow response, the phagocytic capacity and the s...

A 31 year old woman was hospitalized for evaluation of aortic valve insufficiency and her present cardiac status. Clinical and paraclinical findings strongly suggested the presence of a collagen vascular inflammatory processprecisely, the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), with systemic lupus erythematosus as the underlying disease.

Background: Inflammatory responses in individuals exposed to sulfur mustard occur in some organs such as lung, skin and eyes. These organs manifest overreaction in cellular and humoral immune responses. Over a long period, the immune responses often continues toward chronic inflammatory processes with some interventions. Obviously some elements have been deregulated. Therefore, this study evalu...

The toxic effect of dietary histamine on the intestine aquatic animals has been demonstrated, but reports morphological observation are limited. Thus, a feeding trial was conducted to determine intestinal histology, inflammatory status and gut microbiota yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco). Here, we showed that histamine-rich diets caused severe abnormality damage intestine, including decr...

background : this study aimed to investigate the association of seven common inflammatory diseases with type 2 diabetes (t2d) in the chinese mainland population. methods : participants were recruited from a great swathe of mainland from 2009 to 2013 for the cohort study. the demographic characteristics between patients with t2d or with inflammatory diseases, including age, sex, smoking status, ...

Effect of probiotics supplementation combined with WeChat platform health management on nutritional status, inflammatory factors, and quality life in patients mild-to-moderate ulcerative colitis: a randomized trial

BACKGROUND The inflammatory background of patients influences the process of alloimmunization against red blood cell antigens. Proof of this statement to clinical practice is still lacking. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to verify whether factors related to disease severity and inflammatory status of cancer patients can predict alloimmunization. METHODS This was a case-control study in...

Control of systemic iron homeostasis is interconnected with the inflammatory response through the key iron regulator, the antimicrobial peptide hepcidin. We have previously shown that mice with iron deficiency anemia (IDA)-low hepcidin show a pro-inflammatory response that is blunted in iron deficient-high hepcidin Tmprss6 KO mice. The transcriptional response associated with chronic hepcidin o...
