A STUDY OF 17 PATIENTS WITH PULMONARY SARCOIDOSIS IN MASHAD
Thirty patients with bilateral lymph node enlargement with or without parenchymal infiltrates on the chest x- ray suspected to have sarcoidosis were studied between June 1980 and December 1989 in our institution. Eleven of these patients who were free of parenchymal infiltrates did not have a biopsy performed and the diagnosis of sarcoidosis was made based on self-limited regression and cl...
متن کاملParasite-Specific IL-17-Type Cytokine Responses and Soluble IL-17 Receptor Levels in Alveolar Echinococcosis Patients
Alveolar Echinococcosis (AE) caused by the cestode Echinococcus multilocularis, is a severe helminth infection of man, where unrestricted parasite growth will ultimately result in organ failure and fatality. The tissue-infiltrative growth of the larval metacestode and the limited efficacy of available drugs complicate successful intervention in AE; patients often need life-long medication, and ...
متن کاملInterleukin-17 family and IL-17 receptors.
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine secreted by activated T-cells. Recently discovered related molecules are forming a family of cytokines, the IL-17 family. The prototype member of the family has been designated IL-17A. Due to recent advances in the human genome sequencing and proteomics five additional members have been identified and cloned: IL-17B, IL-17C, IL-17D, IL-17E a...
متن کاملVitamin D3 Induced Decrease in IL-17 and Malondialdehyde, and Increase in IL-10 and Total Antioxidant Capacity Levels in Patients with Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Background: Given the variations in clinical presentation and physiopathological mechanisms in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) subtypes, it is an acknowledged fact that the response to treatments can be disparate. Objective: To assess the effect of vitamin D on inflammatory cytokines (IL-17, IL-10, TNF-α), and biomarkers of oxidative stress (total antioxidant capacity (TAC), and malondialdehyde ...
متن کاملSerum levels of interleukin (IL)-13, IL-17 and IL-18 in patients with ischemic heart disease.
OBJECTIVE It has been reported that the cytokines play an important role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum levels of interleukin (IL)-13, IL-17 and IL-18 in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) and also to clarify their association with traditional risk factors of disease. METHODS A total of 60 patients with IHD as having acu...
