چکیده
Interleukin-10 (IL-10), an anti-inflammatory cytokine, was measured in 131 children with meningococcal disease. IL-10 concentrations were significantly higher in children who died and correlated positively with proinflammatory cytokines. Children who die from meningococcal disease have high IL-10 concentrations, which do not suppress proinflanmmatory cytokines. (Arch Dis Child 1996;75:453-454)

Proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines in meningococcal disease.
Interleukin-10 (IL-10), an anti-inflammatory cytokine, was measured in 131 children with meningococcal disease. IL-10 concentrations were significantly higher in children who died and correlated positively with proinflammatory cytokines. Children who die from meningococcal disease have high IL-10 concentrations, which do not suppress proinflammatory cytokines.
متن کاملEffect of Cyperus Rotundus on Cytokine Gene Expression in Experimental Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Background: The protective effect of the chloroform extract of Cyperus rotundus (CHCR) is attributed to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Cytokines, important regulators of inflammation and repair, play a key role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Targeting these cytokines can effectively ameliorate the symptoms of IBD. The aim of the present study was to ...
متن کاملCorrelation between proinflammatory cytokines and antiinflammatory mediators and the severity of disease in meningococcal infections.
Pro- and antiinflammatory cytokines and mediators were measured in 39 patients with acute life-threatening meningococcal infections classified into 3 groups: A, meningitis without shock (n = 20); B, meningitis with shock (n = 9); and C, shock without meningitis (n = 10). The plasma concentrations of proinflammatory endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-8...
متن کاملLong-Term Treatment by Vitamin B1 and Reduction of Serum Proinflammatory Cytokines, Hyperalgesia, and Paw Edema in Adjuvant-Induced Arthritis
Introduction: Immune system is involved in the etiology and pathophysiology of inflammation and vitamins are important sources of substances inducing nonspecific immunomodulatory effects. Given the proinflammatory role of cytokines in the inflammation and pain induction, this study aimed to assess the effects of long-term administration of vitamin B1 on the proinflammatory cytokines, edema, and...
