Abstract   Malacoplakia is a rare chronic inflammatory disease associated with infection and immunosuppression, and very few occurrences have been reported in the bone. The authors describe the case of a 22-year-old woman with paraplegia and urinary and fecal incontinence whose thoracic spine Magnetic Resonance Imaging suggested a tumoral or extensive inflammatory process in the body of the 8...

Inflammatory reaction and asthma in certain children with features of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) as well attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have been reported previously.

OBJECTIVE Several studies reported the local tissue reaction caused by mineral aggregate-based cements. However, few studies have investigated the systemic effects promoted by these cements on liver and kidney when directly applied to connective tissue. The purpose of this in vivo study was to investigate the systemic effect of mineral aggregate-based cements on the livers and kidneys of rats. ...

Objective: Our aim is to establish the immunologic profile of PPD-intoxicated persons based on monitoring of the inflammatory reaction. Methods and patients: A prospective study of 21 patients hospitalized in a medical ICU with PPD intoxication during 2010. A follow-up of demographic, clinical, paraclinical and evolutive parameters as well as an inflammatory check-up (white blood cell, C-reacti...

Intraperitoneal administration of halothane to rats causes an inflammatory reaction of the peritoneum. The degree of inflammation is dependent on the dose. The effects of this non-specific inflammatory reaction on the liver should be evaluated before conclusions relating to the effect of halothane administered by inhalation on the liver are drawn from the results of intraperitoneal administrati...

PURPOSE To compare the inflammatory reaction caused by the injection of a sugarcane biopolymer (SCB) into the vocal fold of rabbits with that caused by calcium hydroxyapatite (CaH). METHODS CaH (Radiesse(r)) and SCB gel were injected respectively into the right and left vocal cords of thirty rabbits. The rabbits were distributed into two equal groups and sacrificed at three and twelve weeks a...

There is evidence that, following exposure to crystalline silica, the release of several proinflammatory cytokines contributes to the induction of unbalanced inflammatory reaction leading to lung fibrosis. We have examined the potential contribution of interleukin-10 (IL-10), an anti-inflammatory cytokine, in the development of silicosis. In a mouse model of inflammatory lung reaction induced b...

BACKGROUND Polyacrylamide gels, containing a hydrogel composed of polyacrylamide and water, are used for soft tissue augmentation and contour correction. There are no reports of significant complications after injection of this material into the face. OBJECTIVE We report an inflammatory reaction after injection of polyacrylamide gels for zygomatic facial augmentation. METHODS A retrospectiv...

− Immediate-type hypersensitivity is involved in many allergic diseases such as asthma, allergic rhinitis and anaphylaxis. The discovery of drugs for the treatment of allergic disease is an important subject in human health. Stimulation of mast cells releases inflammatory mediators, such as histamine and pro-inflammatory cytokines with immune regulatory properties. We investigated the effect of...
