Inflammatory Disease of the CNS III: Sarcoidosis and Non-neoplastic Diseases Associated with Neoplasia
ثبت نشده
چکیده
I n contrast to the previous articles on the neuropathology of organism-related disorders, this article deals with inflammatory diseases that are not, as far as it is known, due to infections, but are most likely mediated by aberrant immune host reactions. Neurosarcoidosis should be regarded as a granulomatous, probably hyperimmune, inflammatory disorder, whereas paraneoplastic syndromes are associated with the presence of a variety of tumour-related antibodies and give rise to a wide range of clinical presentations.

Thrombin is a multifunctional enzyme which has key roles in coagulation cascade and inflammatory events. The pro-inflammatory functions of thrombin occur by different mechanisms including increasing mast cell degranulation, up-regulating the expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and promoting the secretion of inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. Dysregulated signaling functions of thro...

متن کاملP 155: The Roles of Microglia in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Microglia is a type of glial cell located throughout the central nervous system (CNS), which is sensitive to CNS injury and disease. Responsibility of microglia as the resident macrophage cells for injuries suggests that these cells have the potential to act as diagnostic markers of disease beginning or progression. Function of Microglia is strongly synchronized by the microenvironment of brain...
