Cellular innate immune responses to lung resection via video- assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and thoracotomy : predictors of post-operative pneumonia
… to measure cellular composition and cytokines. Blood was sampled preoperatively and 6-, 24- and 48-hours post-operatively primarily to assess neutrophil phagocytic capacity, monocyte subsets, monocyte cytokine responses to lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation and serum cytokine …

Growth of Pigs With Viral and Bacterial Pneumonia
Infection with PRRSV increased serum IL-1beta and IL-6, increased MSTN and mRNA in skeletal muscle, and decreased FI, WG, PA and the mass of several skeletal muscles, but neither Mh nor the MhxPRRSV interaction were significant. The Mh-induced lung lesions, however, were 3- to 5-times greater in …

Análise comparativa do perfil imunológico e bioquímico entre pacientes com Doença Pulmonar Obstrutiva Crônica e pacientes com Espirometria com Comprometimento da Relação Preservada (PRISm)
… involving 72 patients aged 50-80 years. Serum cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, TNF), biochemical markers (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, glucose, glycated hemoglobin), and anthropometric measurements (waist circumference, triceps skinfold thickness, mid upper arm …

The Impact of Breast Cancer Screening on Sleep, Affect, and Immune Functioning
… sleep quality or affect nor decreased levels of serum cytokines were noted in women who received a benign diagnosis. Conversely, results for several scales indicated improved sleep quality for women diagnosed with breast cancer relative to women who received a benign diagnosis, providing support …

The role of clinical, biological, and socioeconomic factors on the development of resilience in women with autorimmune rheumatic diseases : a cross-sectional study
… by surveys and chart reviews. A panel of 15 serum cytokines and 14 autoantibodies were evaluated simultaneously. Bivariate, classification and regression trees (CART), and multiple linear regressions were used to analyze data. RESULTS: CART analysis showed that patients younger than 48 years …

Mechanisms of increased microvascular permeability during acute Rickettsiosis
… The permeability-inducing effects of these cytokines appear to occur independently of nitric oxide production since inhibition of iNOS does not prevent cytokine-mediated increases in permeability. Additionally we have shown that iNOS expression in vivo is associated with sites of rickettsial …

The Association Between Cancer-Related-Fatigue, Response to Fatigue Treatment, and Cytokines and Their Receptors, In Patients With Advanced Cancer
… on the mediators of inflammation (namely), cytokines and their receptors, associated with clinically significant fatigue and response to treatment.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong><strong> </strong>We reviewed 37 advanced cancer patients with fatigue (≥4/10), who participated in two …

Exploring neuro-immune interactions in neurodegeneration: the role of B lymphocytes in Parkinson’s disease
… by microglial activation) and in the periphery (serum cytokines) is well described in Parkinson’s disease (PD). I hypothesised that immune factors play a role in determining disease progression, focusing on the contribution of B lymphocytes. These cells play a number of roles including antibody …

Optimization and analysis of lipid nanoparticles for in vivo mRNA delivery
… cell activation, and up-regulation of four serum cytokines. Although we have developed a more efficacious liver-targeting LNP, many mRNA therapies will require delivery to non-liver tissues. Using trial-and-error approaches, we discover novel formulations capable of inducing mRNA expression …

The effects of 2’-fucosyllactose and Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis supplementation on growth, intestinal development and immune development and function in piglets
… response to ex vivo stimulation in addition to serum cytokines and immunoglobulins. At sacrifice, blood was taken for serum cytokine analysis and immune cells from blood and mesenteric lymph nodes were isolated for ex vivo stimulation and flow cytometry analysis. Luminal contents from the AC and …

The Dendritic Cell Response to Exogenous and Endogenous Danger Signals
… cells, including dendritic cells, to produce cytokines such as type I interferons, which are pathogenic in SLE. When given systemically, curli/DNA composites trigger immune activation and production of autoantibodies in lupus-prone and wild type mice. We also found that infection with …

Effect of a maternal inflammatory challenge during the preimplantation period on offspring development and phenotype
… behaviour, weight loss and increased the serum concentration of several cytokines, e.g. interleukin-1? (IL-1?) and tumour necrosis factor-? (TNF-?). Prenatally, the maternal inflammatory challenge resulted in reduced ICM cell number and reduced ICM:TE cell ratio in GD 3.5 blastocysts, but …

Neuropathological role of alpha-synuclein: major contribution of inflammation in the evolution of both motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s disease
… inflammation with a dysregulated production of serum cytokines and chemokines, that was largely restored by Pom. Study II: We asked whether the H-αSynOs-based model of PD is an effective tool to study PD-related cognitive disturbances, thus investigating the contribution of neuroinflammation. We …

The effects of equine plasma transfusion on markers of inflammation in healthy neonatal foals
… in acute phase protein (fibrinogen [FIB] and serum amyloid A [SAA]) production. A total of 35 healthy, neonatal foals (mean ± SD age 34 ± 5 hours) were randomly allocated into one of two groups, and given either hyperimmune, fresh frozen plasma (treatment) or crystalloids (control) by IV …

Characterizing neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation and immunological status through multimodal strategies in type 1 diabetes mellitus and relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis
… for retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness. Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) were also measured. Both patient groups exhibited cognitive and mood disturbances and significantly elevated sNfL levels, indicative of early neurodegeneration, …

Major traumatic injury : serum cytokine biomarkers as predictors of poor clinical outcome
… to traumatic injury, largely orchestrated by cytokines.Cytokines are known, to be predominantly secreted by helper T cells and activated monocytes and macrophages and numerous distinct cell types synchronize their role as part of the immune system. Each of these cell types has a distinct role …
