Cytokine changes in patients with heatstroke during pilgrimage to Makkah
Circulating levels and role of IL-6, IL-1ra, TNFsr-II and CRP in patients with heatstroke is not fully known. This study correlated levels of these mediators with outcome in 26 patients. In survivors (n=20), IL-6 concentration declined on cooling, whereas in non-survivors levels continued to increase at 6 h following admission before declining. Admission TNFsr-II concentrations in survivors wer...
متن کاملOxidative stress in rats with heatstroke-induced cerebral ischemia.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Heatstroke is associated with cerebral ischemia as well as increased levels of interleukin-1beta, dopamine, and glutamate in the brain. These factors are known to increase free radical production. This study attempted to ascertain whether an excessive accumulation of cytotoxic free radicals in the brain and oxidative stress can occur during heatstroke. METHODS Urethane-...
متن کاملLymphocyte subsets and adhesion molecules expression in heatstroke and heat stress.
We examined the specificity of the recently reported alterations in circulating lymphocytes in heatstroke by determining lymphocyte subsets in 14 consecutive heatstroke patients before and after cooling and in 7 heat-stressed controls using single- or two-color immunofluorescence flow cytometry. The relationship with catecholamine levels was also studied. In heatstroke, percentages of T (CD3(+)...
متن کاملCytokine Gene Polymorphisms in Iranian Patients with Beta-Thalassemia Major
Background: β-thalassemia as a hereditary disease is defined as defective synthesis of β-globin chains, resulting in erythropoiesis abnormalities and severe anemia. Different studies have shown that cytokines and cytokine gene polymorphisms play a major role in the pathogenesis of β-thalassemia. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within the promoter region or other regulatory sequences ...
