چکیده
systemic reaction characterized by fever, leukocytosis, increase in erythrocyte sedimentation rate, increases in Leucocytosis secretion of ACTH and glucocorticoids, activation of Complement activat complement and clotting cascades, decreases in serum levels of iron and zinc, a negative nitrogen balance, and by dramatic changes in the concentration of some plasma ,l' proteins. These proteins are named acute phase proteins. i

Interleukin-23 Receptor Gene Variants in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Their Relation to Prognostic Factors
Background: Interleukin (IL)-23 has an important role in tumor immune regulation. Objective: To investigate the possible association of interleukin-23 receptor (IL23R) gene variants rs1884444, rs10889677 and rs11209026 with development of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods: The IL23R variants were studied in 164 ALL patients and compared to 175 healthy controls by polymerase chain reac...
متن کاملRelationship of serum levels of interleukin-6, soluble interleukin-6 receptor and tumour necrosis factor receptors to the acute-phase protein response in advanced pancreatic cancer.
The level of the acute-phase response is a major predictor of survival in patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. This study examines the association between the acute-phase protein response, as determined by serum C-reactive protein, and serum levels of interleukin-6, soluble interleukin-6 receptor and the soluble tumour necrosis factor receptors in patients with pancreatic cancer. Thirty-fo...
متن کاملInterleukin-6 and its relation to the humoral immune response and clinical parameters in burned patients.
The cytokine interleukin-6, which has been shown to be increased in patients with burn injuries, is produced by activated monocytes and endothelial cells and has many in vitro activities, including stimulation of acute-phase protein synthesis in hepatocytes, immunoglobulin synthesis in B lymphocytes, and stimulation of growth of megakaryocytes. In 13 patients with a mean of 31% full-thickness b...

BACKGROUND: The acute phase response is beneficial to theanimal in restoring homeostasis, and measuring the circulatingacute phase proteins, cytokines, and enzymes can be used toevaluate the innate immune system's responses to invader agentssuch as bacterial lipopolysaccharide. Measurement of theseparameters has shown to be useful as diagnostic and prognosticmarkers in animal endotoxemia. OBJEC...
متن کاملThe comparison of serum interleukin-6 of mothers in vaginal and elective cesarean delivery
Abstract Background: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) has a major role in hematopoiesis, immune and acute phase response and its serum level seems to be associated with the mode of delivery. The purpose of this study was to compare the level of IL-6 in mothers who delivered via cesarean section and vaginally. Methods: This cross-sectional study was done on 40 mothers with vaginal delivery and 40 mothe...
متن کاملIdentification of sequences mediating interleukin-6 induction of a rat T kininogen gene.
Interleukin-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that has a major role in the coordination of the hepatic acute phase response. In order to more fully understand this role, we have examined the interleukin-6 induction of T kininogen, a cysteine protease inhibitor and a major acute phase reactant in the rat. Using deletional analysis and site-directed mutagenesis of T kininogen-chloramphenicol acetyltran...
