P189: The Role of Periodontitis in Alzheimer Pathogenesis
Alzheimer disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, is an irreversible progressive neurodegenerative condition. It is characterized by the salient inflammatory features, microglial activation and increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines which contribute to the inflammatory states of the CNS. Accumulating data suggest the key role of inflammation in AD pathogenesis. In a prospective...
متن کاملProinflammatory cytokines, sickness behavior, and Alzheimer disease.
BACKGROUND In Alzheimer disease (AD), systemic inflammation is known to give rise to a delirium. However, systemic inflammation also gives rise to other centrally mediated symptoms in the absence of a delirium, a concept known as sickness behavior. Systemic inflammation is characterized by the systemic production of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNFα) and interleukin-6 ...
متن کاملCytokines in the pathogenesis of influenza.
Uncomplicated influenza in humans, horses or swine is characterized by massive virus replication in respiratory epithelial cells, inflammation and an abrupt onset of general and respiratory disease. There is now growing evidence that the so-called early cytokines produced at the site of infection mediate many of the clinical and pathological manifestations. Among these cytokines are interferon-...
متن کاملCytokines and Chemokines in Cerebral Malaria Pathogenesis
Cerebral malaria is among the major causes of malaria-associated mortality and effective adjunctive therapeutic strategies are currently lacking. Central pathophysiological processes involved in the development of cerebral malaria include an imbalance of pro- and anti-inflammatory responses to Plasmodium infection, endothelial cell activation, and loss of blood-brain barrier integrity. However,...
متن کاملData-driven modeling of Alzheimer disease pathogenesis.
Alzheimer Disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia and the sixth leading cause of death in developed world. A substantial amount of data concerning the pathogenesis of this neurological disorder is available, but the complexity of the interactions they reveal makes it difficult to reason about them. This paper describes a computational model that represents known facts concerning AD ...
