ABSTRACTAim: To evaluate the effect of intra-canal cryotherapy on interleukin-1βand interleukin-10 expression in teeth with symptomatic apical periodontitis.Methodology: Forty-eight single rooted patients periodontitiswere randomly divided into 4 groups according to irrigation protocol.Group I (control); 5% sodium hypochlorite at room temperature. Group II; coldsodium (2-5°C). III; final rinse ...

We evaluated the impact of postprandial glycemia on blood levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines during an oral glucose tolerance test in non-diabetic patients with symptoms suggesting reactive hypoglycemia. Eleven patients with clinical symptoms suggesting reactive hypoglycemia received an oral glucose solution (75 g) Blood was collected at 0 (baseline), 30, 60, 120 and 180...

Background and objectives:  Schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric disorder, which reduces the patient quality of life. Despite the recommendation for treating this disorder with a minimum dose of medications, antipsychotic polypharmacy has been used experimentally that cause increasing the drug interactions. Aripiprazole has low risk of metabolic has recommended as a first line a treatment fo...

Abstract Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are potent immune suppressors and critical to the maintenance of immunological tolerance. Interleukin 2 (IL-2) is essential for Treg survival, expansion, phenotypic stability, suppressive function. However, Tregs do not produce IL-2 dependent on exogenous sources IL-2. This poses a significant challenge cell therapies in tissues with no or limited availabilit...

To observe the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10) secretion from cultivated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for 48h. Blood samples were obtained 42 women patients of Nadezhda Women’s Health Hospital after signing written informed consent. For PBMC isolation, 9 ml heparinised whole each patient processed by density gradient centrifugation using Pancoll (P04...

This study investigated the effect of ethanol stem bark extract Irvingia gabonensis (ESEIG) on sodium arsenite (SA)-induced pro-inflammatory cytokines and hematological perturbations in Wistar rats. Fifty-five rats weighing 100 g - 179 were distributed into eleven groups (n=5). Group 1 had feed water only. 2 received 4.1 mg/kg body weight (kgbw) SA. Groups 3-11 SA and/or ESEIG. Treatment was do...

objective: macrophages influence their environment and surrounding immune cells as soon as stimulators affect them. different sources of macrophages induce different reactions in their neighboring immune cells,which result in non-uniform immunologic outcomes. in this experimental research, we compare the behavior of peritoneal macrophages to lipopolysaccharide (lps) stimulation from balb/cmice ...
