This research was designed for study the effect of rheumatoid arthritis diseases on Leptin hormone and some immunological parameters (Interleukins), involve 58 blood sample from 48 individual with compared 10 healthy having no any health problems considered them as control group .
 The estimation secretes cytokines by leukocytes interleukins (IL-1 α IL- 6 ) done using Enzyme Linked Immuno ...

Cathelicidin LL37 is overexpressed in plaques psoriasis. Microbial ligands are part of the triggers over-expression. [Our objectives were] to assess expression LL37, interleukins 17 and 23 skin ex vivo submitted a microbial ligand, then effects AGH8 (vegetal extract) same model. Human explants were ligand: zymosan A at 1% was applied surface on day 0, D2, D3 D6. topically after removal zymosan-...

BACKGROUND Efforts have been made to correctly characterize the role of the immune response in endometriosis. The objective of this study was to analyse the interaction between Th1 and Th2 immune response patterns and endometriosis by evaluating a panel of cytokines. METHODS Between January 2004 and November 2005, 98 patients, classified into two groups according to the histologically confirm...

Staphylococcus aureus infections are often life threatening. Relatively little is known about the host response to these infections, in particular, the role played by cytokines. We established a mouse model of bacteremic S. aureus infection to correlate bacteriologic findings and pathologic changes with cytokine gene expression. Bacterial density in blood and tissue was highest at 1 h and minim...

OBJECTIVES The Complex Regional Pain Syndrome I (CRPS I) is a disease that might affect an extremity after trauma or operation. The pathogenesis remains yet unclear. It has clinical signs of severe local inflammation as a result of an exaggerated inflammatory response but neurogenic dysregulation also contributes to it. Some studies investigated the role inflammatory mediators and cytokines; ho...

Severe heat stroke (HS) consists of extreme hyperthermia with thermoregulatory failure, leading to high morbidity and mortality. Liver injury is a complication of HS that is associated with inflammatory responses and Kupffer cells (KCs), which are resident macrophages in the liver that serve as a major source of inflammatory cytokines; however, the association and the underlying mechanisms of K...

BACKGROUND In case-control studies, elevated levels of interleukins 6 and 8 have been found to be associated with an increased risk of venous thrombosis (VT). Because of the design of these studies, it remained uncertain whether these alterations were a cause or a result of the VT. In order to distinguish between the two, we set out to measure the levels of six inflammatory markers prior to thr...
