Cytokine serum profile in a group of Sicilian nonagenarians.
The aim of our study was to evaluate the possibility of using multiplex analysis of the cytokine profile as a marker for successful aging by comparing cytokine plasmatic levels of a group of Sicilian nonagenarians with those of young controls. We analyzed a panel of 17 cytokines, comprehensive of haematopoietic factors T helper 1 (Th1), Th2, inflammation regulatory cytokines, and chemokines. Th...
متن کاملAnalysis of Serum Cytokine Profile in Pemphigus
BACKGROUND Pemphigus is a group of autoimmune blistering diseases affecting skin and mucous membranes. While pemphigus is an autoantibody mediated disease, the role of T cells and cytokines in the pathogenesis is being increasingly recognized. OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to observe alterations in the serum cytokine levels of patients with pemphigus vulgaris (PV), pemphigus foliaceous (...
متن کاملSerum Cytokine Profile in a Patient Diagnosed with Dysferlinopathy
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2 (LGMD2B) is a mild form of dysferlinopathy, characterized by limb weakness and wasting. It is an autosomal recessive disease, with currently 140 mutations in the LGMD2B gene identified. Lack of functional dysferlin inhibits muscle fiber regeneration in voluntary muscles, the main pathological finding in LGMD2B patients. However, the immune system has been s...
متن کاملSerum cytokine profile in pediatric Sweet’s syndrome: a case report
BACKGROUND Sweet's syndrome is characterized by fever, leukocytosis, and tender erythematous papules or nodules. It is a rare condition, particularly in the pediatric population, and has recently been proposed to be an autoinflammatory disease that occurs due to innate immune system dysfunction, involving several cytokines, which causes abnormally increased inflammation. To the best of our know...
متن کاملCancer in nonagenarians: profile, treatments and outcomes.
An increasing number of nonagenarians are treated for cancer. However, very few data are available to guide treatment choices in this often frail population. The charts of all patients registered at Moffitt Cancer Center between 1993 and 2006 who were aged 90 or older at the time of treatment/evaluation were reviewed, and those treated for an active cancer (n=177) were included in the analysis....
