Relación de IMC con marcadores de inflamación y hemoglobina glicosilada en niños y jóvenes con diabetes mellitus 1

La diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) es una enfermedad autoinmune que genera dependencia exógena de insulina de forma permanente, presenta inflamación subclínica crónica lo que conlleva a una elevación de marcadores de inflamación como factor de necrosis tumoral alfa (TNF-α), proteína C reactiva (PC...

TNF-alpha and IL-17 cytokine levels in Brazilian patients with ankylosing spondylitis after anti-TNF therapy

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)- 17A/F levels in the serum of ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients after anti-TNF therapy, in order to understand how these cytokines are involved in this therapeutic response. Forty-four AS patients wer...

Protective effects of melatonin in cisplatin-induced cardiac toxicity: possible role of BDNF-TNF-α signaling pathway

Acta cir. bras; 37 (2), 2022
Purpose: The present study explored the role of melatonin in cisplatin-induced cardiac injury along with the possible role of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in melatonin-mediated effects. Methods: Wistar rats were administered cisplatin (10 mg/kg), and cardiac injury was assessed by measuring ...

Acta sci. vet. (Impr.); 49 (), 2021
Mastitis is a mammary gland inflammation that is very common worldwide, mostly caused by bacteria, and causes enormous economic losses. Many microorganisms cause this disease. The most common causes of mastitis by these microorganisms are Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), Escherichia coli (E. coli) and ...

Suppression of thioacetamide-induced hepatic injury in rats treatment with resveratrol: role of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) cell signaling

Int. j. morphol; 38 (3), 2020
Chronic hepatotoxicity is a debilitating and frequently life-threatening disease resulting in progressive liver failure. The toxic chemical, thioacetamide (TAA) is used to evaluate hepatoprotective agents, and the polyphenolic compound, resveratrol was proposed as a novel treatment for diseases with hype...

Aspects of Langerhans cells and TNF-α in the cutaneous immunity of anogenital warts

An. bras. dermatol; 95 (2), 2020
Abstract Background: Anogenital warts are the leading sexually transmitted infection in patients seeking care at specialized clinics. They may display a vast array of forms, according to the interaction of the virus with the host's immunity. Cellular immunity is the epithelium's main form of defense aga...

Inflammatory markers in palatine tonsils of children with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome

Abstract Introduction Obstrutive sleep apnea syndrome is characterized by repeated episodes of upper airway obstruction, associated with intermittent hypoxia and hypercapnia, and the main risk factor in childhood is adenotonsillar hypertrophy. The lymphocytes in these structures are responsible for loca...

Characteristics of neutrophil extracellular traps in patients with periodontitis and gingivitis

Abstract We sought to compare the characteristics and clinical significance of neutrophil extracellular traps in gingival samples from patients with periodontitis and those with gingivitis. The clinical indexes of gingival samples from patients with periodontitis and gingivitis were measured; the express...

Impact of history of periodontitis on gene expression of bone-related factors in young patients

Abstract Although dental implants and bone regenerative procedures are important approaches for the reestablishment of esthetics and function in young patients with a history of generalized aggressive periodontitis (GAP), no predictable outcomes have been reported, and the host osteo-immunoinflammatory r...
