background: pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and polymorphisms of their genes have been described to be involved in the pathogenesis of recurrent miscarriage (rm). objective: to investigate the association between rm and five polymorphisms of cytokine genes, interleukin 10 (il-10), (-592 a/c, -819 c/t, -1082 a/g), il-6 (-174 c/g) and il-17 (-197 g/a) in iranian women. method: po...

Social games—common patterns of character interactions that modify the social environment of the story world—provide a useful abstraction when authoring a story composed of interactive characters, making it possible to create games with deep possibility spaces that are about social interaction (which would be intractable if hand-authoring all the options). In this paper, we detail the workings ...

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) is thought to promote intracellular infection, including human visceral leishmaniasis, by disabling Th1 cell-type responses and/or deactivating parasitized tissue macrophages. To develop a rationale for IL-10 inhibition as treatment in visceral infection, Th1 cytokine-driven responses were characterized in Leishmania donovani-infected BALB/c mice in which IL-10 was absent...

the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines is responsible for the variety of behavioral, neuro-endocrine and neuro-chemical alterations in psychiatric condition. in this study we evaluate relation between depression and il-6 and il-10 in patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (hsct).66 patients in this cross-sectional study from july 2013 until august 2014 for hsct interred ...
