Immune reconstitution after childhood leukemia. Aspects on immunizations and effects of Ara-C on the innate immune system
(2005)
Children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) can be cured with cytotoxic chemotherapy, but myelosuppression and immunosuppression are major side effects causing morbidity and even mortality from infections. Vaccinations ...
Inflammatory mediator response to Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in vitro and in middle ear infections
(2010-02-12)
Based on the structure of the cell wall, bacteria are divided into Gram-positive and Gram-negative. While the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria is thick, the cell wall of Gram-negatives is very thin and surrounded by an ...
Modulation of cytokine production by mononuclear cells in allergic inflammation. The effects of allergen exposure and anti-inflammatory agents
(2003)
In pollen-sensitized subjects, seasonal allergen exposure results in clinical allergic disease, which in affected tissues displays a morphological picture typical of chronic inflammation. The cellular responses to allergens ...
Characterizing and modulating the effects of ionizing radiation to the juvenile hippocampus
(2014-05-09)
Survival rates after childhood cancer treatment have improved, leading to a growing population of survivors. Radiotherapy is an important tool for curing cancer in the brain. Unfortunately, radiotherapy is associated with ...
Systemic inflammatory activation during cardiac Surgery. Influence of cardiopulmonary bypass management and patient factors
(2005)
Cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass is accompanied by a prominent systemic inflammatory and hemostatic activation, which may contribute to postoperative complications. Aims: To investigate if selection of cardiopulmonary ...
Hormonal programming and adrenal function. Studies in children and in a rat model
(2001)
Prenatal events during specific time windows have been found to be followed by permanent changes affecting neuroendocrine, so called programming. Undernutrition, placental dysfunction or maternal stress, are apparent ...
Cytokines and their soluble receptors in nasal fluids from school children with allergic rhinitis
(2000)
Allergic inflammation is associated with a shift in the balance between cytokines produced by two T helper subsets (Th1 and Th2) towards a preponderance of Th2 cells. Interleukin (IL)-4 is produced by Th2 cells and ...
Airway inflammation in "healthy" smokers. Relation to lung function and high resolution CT findings
(2000)
The aim of the present study was to characterize the inflammatory pattern in "healthy"smokers and relate it to lung function, high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings and respiratory symptoms in order to identify ...
Activation of neutrophils by mycobacteria and mycobacterial components
(2001)
The genus Mycobacterium includes free-living saprophytes, opportunists, and human pathogens.Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the organism causing tuberculosis, as well as other pathogenicmycobacteria can survive and multiply ...
