Proinflammatory Cytokines in Pneumonias of Various Genesis

Proinflammatory Cytokines in Peritonitis

RATIONALE We performed this study with the purpose of revealing different aspects of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome in peritonitis. OBJECTIVES The aim of the presentation was to make a research on some of the immune response mediators in secondary peritonitis and to observe their capacity to anticipate the evolution towards septic complications. METHODS AND RESULTS We have unde...

Proinflammatory cytokines and glutamate in acute stroke.

Proinflammatory Cytokines and Glutamate in Acute Stroke To the Editor: I have with great interest read the article, “Proinflammatory Cytokines and Early Neurological Worsening in Ischemic Stroke,” by Vila et al.1 Bearing in mind the complexities of interleukin (IL)-6 effects, I would like to ask the authors the following questions: Are the patients included in this study the same patients as in...

MicroRNA-Regulated Proinflammatory Cytokines in Sarcopenia

Sarcopenia has been defined as the aging-related disease with the declined mass, strength, and function of skeletal muscle, which is the major cause of frailty and falls in elders. The activation of inflammatory signal pathways due to diseases and aging is suggested to reveal the critical impact on sarcopenia. Several proinflammatory cytokines, especially interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis...
