Cells perpetuating the inflammatory response in scleritis.
Scleritis can be a destructive disease frequently associated with autoimmune disorders. It is believed that primary vasculitis plays an important role in its pathogenesis, but little is known about the cellular effector mechanisms. The purpose of this study was to analyse the inflammatory cellular infiltrate in scleritis. Six episcleral biopsies and two enucleated eyes were studied. The episcle...
متن کاملPosterior Scleritis with Inflammatory Retinal Detachment.
A 14-year-old African American male presented to the emergency department with worsening left eye redness, swelling, and vision loss over the preceding three days. History was notable for similar eye redness and swelling without vision loss four months earlier, which improved following a brief course of prednisone. He endorsed mild eye irritation and tearing with bright lights. There was no his...
متن کاملReactive oxygen species mediate TNF-α-induced inflammatory response in bone marrow mesenchymal cells
Objective(s): It is generally believed that the inflammatory response in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation leads to poor survival and unsatisfactory effects, and is mainly mediated by cytokines, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). In this study, we explored the mechanisms underlying the TNF-α-induced inflammatory ...
متن کاملMAST CELLS IN INFLAMMATORY AURAL POLYPS
This study investigated the presence of mast cells in inflammatory aural polyps using light microscopy. The number of mast cells was increased in all examined cases and varied from 2.33 to 41.54 per mm2• The cells were located most commonly around small blood vessels. Occurrence of mast cells was not different in various types of polyps, but their density was severely increased in active in...
متن کاملDriving chronicity in rheumatoid arthritis: perpetuating role of myeloid cells.
Acute inflammation is a complex and tightly regulated homeostatic process that includes leucocyte migration from the vasculature into tissues to eliminate the pathogen/injury, followed by a pro-resolving response promoting tissue repair. However, if inflammation is uncontrolled as in chronic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), it leads to tissue damage and disability. Synovial tissue in...
