Although tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common primary in world, much fewer studies on its pathophysiology have been carried out comparison to other headaches. Inflammatory processes are important of both peripheral and central pain. Studies role inflammatory markers TTH patients limited. Therefore, this study, it was aimed examine parameters TTH. 199 154 control participants were invo...

The role of immunological mechanisms in controlling the growth of malignant tumours is controversial (Underwood, 1974) and, in the case of the common human malignancies, the evidence is slight. It is well recognised, however, that in breast cancer in particular there can be a long disease-free interval terminating in late recurrence, suggesting that important tumour-host interactions influence ...

The size of a lymphocyte population is primarily determined by a dynamic equilibrium between cell proliferation and death. Hence, lymphocyte recirculation between the peripheral blood and lymphoid tissues is a key determinant in the maintenance of cell homeostasis. Insights into these mechanisms can be gathered from large-animal models, where lymphatic cannulation from individual lymph nodes is...

The acute-phase inflammatory response in the peripheral bloodstream can be an expression of transient cerebral ischaemia in idiopathic sudden deafness. For this, a neurological and otorhinolaryngological examination of each patient, performing tests on audiometry, and tympanometry, haemogram, and cranial magnetic resonance were performed. The acute-phase inflammatory response manifests as an in...

HL-60 human promyelocytic leukemia cells undergo myeloid differentiation and G1/0 specific growth arrest in response to an activity produced by pokeweed mitogen stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Elaboration of this myeloid differentiation inducing activity does not require lymphocytic proliferation or pokeweed mitogen induced B-lymphocyte differentiation. The activity is a product ...

The concentration of committed granulocytic progenitor cells (CFU-C) in functionally unique subpopulations of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells has been determined by the in vitro methyl-cellulose assay. Using immunoabsorbent column chromatography and rosette-depletion techniques, we have demonstrated that CFU-C, although not present in either purified T or B lymphocyte populations, are ...

Abstract Blood-based biomarkers reflect systemic inflammation status and have prognostic predictive value in solid malignancies. As a recently defined biomarker, Pan-Immune-Inflammation-Value (PIV) integrates different peripheral blood cell subpopulations. This retrospective study of collected data aimed to assess whether PIV may predict the pathological complete response (pCR) neoadjuvant chem...

Following an inconclusive study of differential lymphocyte counts in uveitis in which the peripheral blood was examined only once in the course of each case a longitudinal study has been carried out in patients with acute anterior uveitis. Venous blood lymphocytes were examined at intervals throughout the course of the illness, from presentation until six months later. No changes in E-rosetting...

Peripheral blood lymphocyte levels attained in adult rats that had been thymectomized at birth were markedly reduced if the two or three immediately preceding generations of rats from which they were bred had been thymectomized as neonates. The capacity of thymectomized animals to survive to adult life was also drastically reduced if they were bred from thymectomized stock. Pregnancy as a resul...

Phytohemagglutinin-induced lymphocyte deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis, dermal hypersensitivity, and peripheral blood thymus-derived lymphocyte numbers were assessed in nine men with experimentally induced rubella infection. Five of these men and two additional volunteers received treatment with tilorone dihydrochloride, an antiviral drug. Response to phytohemagglutinin was not changed during ru...
