Aviecennia marina (Avicenniaceae) is an endemic plant that widely distributed in the Southern parts of Iran. This plant has been used as treatment of rheumatism arthritis among the inhabitants of Southern parts of Iran. The Avicennia marina hydroalcoholic extract was prepared and its protective efficacy was investigated using measurement of ankle diameter, total WBC and RBC count, ESR, and Pro-...

inflammatory bowel disease (ibd) is an irregular response of immune system accompanied with different inflammatory manifestations including alterations in cytokines. probiotics are non-pathogenic organisms with probable effects in various conditions such as inflammation. the present study hypothesized whether oral intake of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus in form of probiotic yogurt may repre...

Post traumatic stress disorder, a special disease that also accompanies with histological changes such as inflammation. In this paper we decided to review the relation between PTSD and inflammation. Stressful events causes immune system dysfunction by suppressing natural killer cells and altering levels of cytokines. Also in this condition, cytotoxic T lymphocytes results in under strained pro-...

Pro-inflammatory enzymes play a key role in inflammatory processes and are potential targets of anti-inflammatory drugs. In this study, the objective was to evaluate antiradical activity extracts their ability inhibit phospholipase A 15-lipoxygenase activity. The hydroethanolic extract revealed strongest reducing power with an IC 7.29 ± 0.61 µg/mL. three most active on PLA were (IC 21.43 0.66 ?...

It is increasingly clear that nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) are involved in immune regulation, and that their activation can protect against inflammatory diseases. Previous data have shown that nicotine diminishes the numbers of peripheral monocytes and macrophages, especially those of the pro-inflammatory phenotype. The goal of the present study was to determine if nicotine modula...

Background: IGF-1 and certain other cytokines have been shown to exert inflammatory/anti-inflammatory roles in chronic joint diseases. Objective: To assess the effect of IGF-1, IL-27 and IL-35, their interaction and their receptor expression in a rheumatoid arthritis model. Methods: Freund’s adjuvant-induced chronic joint inflammation was operated on 160 male rats. Animals were divided into his...

The aims of our study were to investigate association some effect pro- inflammatory and antiinflammatory cytokines before after surgical patients through serum concentration of, TNF-?,IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10. 35 blood samples collected from (17 male, 18 female)withgeneral anesthesia Al-Diwaniyah Hospital, Iraq. Samples taken surgery (Tpre), the firstday) T1), third day) T3 (and fifth day (T5) o...

Background: Ghrelin is a peptide with attenuating effect on inflammatory pain. Both anti- and pro-inflammatory mediators have a role in the nociception and development of pain and hyperalgesia. IL-10 and TGF-β are anti-inflammatory cytokines and inhibit the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines related to peripheral and central inflammatory pain. In this study, the effects of i.p. injec...

Cells of the immune system are confronted with opposing pro- and anti- inflammatory signals. Dendritic cells (DC) integrate these cues to make informed decisions whether to initiate an immune response. Confronted with exogenous microbial stimuli, DC endogenously produce both anti- (IL-10) and pro-inflammatory (TNFα) cues whose joint integration controls the cell's final decision. Backed by expe...
