INTRODUCTION Cytokines and their receptor genes are very polymorphic. SNPs in the promotor region of the gene may influence the rate of cytokine secretion and may affect the biological activity of the encoded cytokine. A number of cytokines and cytokine receptors have been directly linked to the development of human cancers. The aim of our study was to determine the cytokine gene polymorphism i...

interleukin-10 (il-10) is a potent immunosuppressor which inhibits alloantigenic t cell response. il-10 is also an anti-inflammatory endogenous cytokine. to investigate the predictive significance of endogenous il-10 for acute graft versus host disease (gvhd) following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (bmt), we performed a prospective study on spontaneous il-10 production in the serum of ...

In highly purified human polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) preparations containing less than 0.1% contaminating monocytes, significant amounts of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and small amounts of IL-1 alpha, IL-1 beta, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were produced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation. Contrary to published reports, IL-6 production could not be detected. IL-10 inhibited t...

interleukin-1β (il-1β), the prototypical pro-inflammatory cytokine, is produced by macrophages following exposure to bacterial products. its role is to act upon several cell types at the site of infection to stimulate the production of pro-inflammatory molecules that will cause increase in vascular permeability. therefore, il-1β regulates the initiation and development of acute inflammation tha...

Objective: To explore the clinical therapeutic effect of Hongteng decoction combined with levofloxacin on chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (CPID) patients and its expression factors. Methods: 72 CPID who were diagnosed treated in Fourth Hospital Shijiazhuang City from January 2020 to December selected randomly divided into observation group (n = 36) control 36). The was retention enema basis...

Background: Interleukin (IL)-23 and IL-27 are two IL-12-related cytokines which their function may dramatically influence the inflammatory response to tumor development. IL-12 and IL-27 seem to have antagonistic roles with IL-23 in tumor site. In this study, IL-23 and IL-27 mRNA expressions were analyzed in peripheral blood of patients with breast cancer and healthy volunteers using quantitativ...

INTRODUCTION Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic skin inflammatory disease in which Th2-derived cytokines play an essential role. Aim of the study was to assess interleukin 4, 10 and 13 (IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13) serum concentrations in AD patients and to correlate the values with the occurrence of genotypes of selected polymorphisms in genes encoding these cytokines. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sevent...

Aseel and Naked neck are major chicken breeds of the tropics well-known for their thermotolerance robustness. However, both them especially very susceptible to Avian Influenza (AI) which cause huge mortalities. The role cytokines in relation pathology severity disease caused by endemic strain (H9N2) AIV these remained thus far unclear. aim this study was investigate effects H9N2 on expression l...
