Küttner tumor is a chronic inflammatory disease that presents with a firm swelling of the submandibular gland and often mimics a neoplasm. Recently evidence suggests that Küttner tumor may be a type of disorder characterized by IgG4-related inflammations. Herein, we report 3 cases of submandibular gland swellings with severe fibrosis, inflammation with marked lymphoplasmacytic infiltration; thi...

Bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi are some important clinical pathogens that may cause the microbial infections of male reproductive tracts, and also interfere with the reproductive function in male [2]. 15% of the cases of male infertility are due to reproductive tract inflammations and infections [3]. Several organs of the male reproductive system, such as male accessory sex glands, test...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common solid tumors worldwide, often associated with inflammation. The microbes in the human intestine have a key role in inflammations and CRC. Chitotriose renders growth advantage to some bacteria, especially some pathogens, and thus has a role in inflammations. The enzyme chitotriosidase, encoded by the CHIT1 gene of the host, may degrade chitotrios...

This report describes the histological and immunohistochemical characterization of joint inflammations and flare-up reactions in mice induced by cloned MT4+,Lyt-2-T cells. The T-cell clone used was specific for the antigen methylated bovine serum albumin (mBSA) and was inoculated locally into a joint together with the antigen. The histological examination was performed in methylmethacrylate sec...

Abnormal immune response of the body against substances and tissues causes autoimmune diseases, such as polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Irregular lipid metabolism and inflammation may be a significant cause of autoimmune diseases. Although much progress has been made, mechanisms of initiation and proceeding of metabolic and inflammatory regulation in autoimmune disease ...
