Oxygen and the inflammatory cell

Inflammatory Reactive Oxygen

Oxygen: an anti-inflammatory drug.

• Vol 9 • December 2007 874 Impaired tissue oxygenation and cellular hypoxia are major components in the pathophysiology of a large variety of clinical conditions, including acute and chronic ischemia, wounds and tissue trauma, infections, physical and chemical injuries, as well as inflammatory joint and connective tissue diseases [1]. Tissue hypoxia triggers an inflammatory response. Mechanism...

the relationship between learners critical thinking ability and their performance in the reading sections of the tofel and ielts test

the study reflected in this thesis aims at finding out relationships between critical thinking (ct), and the reading sections of tofel and ielts tests. the study tries to find any relationships between the ct ability of students and their performance on reading tests of tofel and academic ielts. however, no research has ever been conducted to investigate the relationship between ct and the read...

Inflammatory response, reactive oxygen species, programmed (necrotic-like and apoptotic) cell death and cancer.

In this short review we attempt to establish and/or strengthen connections between clinical, inflammatory manifestation of cancer, inflammatory processes driven by lipoxy-metabolites and their contribution to immortalized phenotype and apoptosis inhibition. Particularly the resemblance between symptoms of inflammation and signs associated with cancer chemotherapy and/or cytokine therapy is illu...

Polymeric micelles with dual thermal and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-responsiveness for inflammatory cancer cell delivery

BACKGROUND The object of this study was to develop a thermally and reactive oxygen species-responsive nanocarrier system for cancer therapy. RESULTS PPS-PNIPAm block copolymer was designed and synthesised using a combination of living anionic ring-opening polymerization and atom transfer radical polymerization. The synthesized polymer formed micellar aggregates in water and demonstrated dual ...
