Interleukin

Mast cells store a number of different chemical mediators—including histamine, interleukins, proteoglycans (e.g., heparin), and various enzymes—in coarse granules found throughout the cytoplasm of the cell. The mast cell is a very unique cell and has a very interesting structure that helps with how it acts. The immune system can protect…

cells, mast cells, basophils, eosinophils, and neutrophils. Mast cells and basophils are specific cell types that are directly involved in allergic reactions, which are extracellular infections. When an allergen is present, macrophages secrete interleukins (a type of cytokine/messenger molecule) to recruit mast cells and basophils which are then signaled to release granules and create minor inflammation at the site of the infection. This reaction is immediate and is usually seen in more minor…

Melanoma is a type of cancer that is considered one among the most dangerous. Melanoma traces are usually found over the skin, but rarely it can even be found in the eye or even in the internal organs. The main cause of Melanoma is the direct exposure to the ultraviolent (UV) rays. Reducing tanning from sun or from tanning lamps can curtail the chance from Melanoma. For past decades, recovery from Melanoma was a nightmare. But later, as science and technology improved, many drugs were introduced…

the cavity. The sponge absorbs the blood and helps to retain the clot formed. This helps in bone healing and regeneration of bone. In the third Group C of 7 patients autogenous tooth bone graft (AutoBT) was used to fill the cavity. Patient’s third molar tooth is extracted and sent to tooth bank to get it grinded in granule form of 400- 800µm. Sterilization of the material is done. After enucleation and curettage this granular form AutoBT is filled in the cavity and then gingival flap is…

Overview of Case Study This is a case study involving a young man 19 years of age who has had Crohn’s disease (CD). The disease is affecting the ileum and part of the jejunum. He has been going through this disease process for the past 5 years and has had numerous exacerbations. Because of his disease he has had delayed growth. Adding to this young man’s health issues, he has developed a fistula between the ileum and the bladder. Several members of his extended family have a history of…

connection, it is necessary to study the levels of cytokines that influence the development and course of chronic inflammation in the body [6]. Cytokines are physiological intracellular signaling proteins that many cells in the body are formed. Interleukin-6 act an essentially pro-inflammatory cytokine and has been involved to show an aspect in the systemic inflammation in patients along chronic obstructive lung disease COPD [7].however Human IL-8 is a compelling Chemoattractant and stimulant…

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis Case Study “Pathophysiology refers to the study of abnormalities in physiologic functioning of living beings” (Copstead and Banasik, 2013, p.1). Pathophysiology attempts to discover any responses and reactions of living being’s organs, tissues, cells and body fluids, in response changes experienced in its internal or external environment. Pathophysiology becomes extremely important in the medical setting as it allows us to predict expected outcomes of diseases…

inflammatory cytokines, activate complement, and activate T cells by presenting the antigen. Activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells cross the blood brain barrier, enter the CNS and attack myelin (McCance & Huether, 2014). Pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-12 (IL-12), IL-23, IL17 and lack of IL-10, an anti-inflammatory cytokine all contribute to exacerbation of the inflammatory process (McCance & Huether, 2014). Integrin expression facilitates adherence and passage of immune cells into the CNS.…

Goodpasture syndrome is classified as an autoimmune disease due to B and T-cell mediated responses that result in the patient’s body to development antibodies against its own normal tissue, specifically the basement membranes of the glomerulus (glomerular basement membranes) and of the lungs (alveolar basement membranes) More specifically, the antibodies are developed against the noncollagenous domain 1 of the alpha 3-chain of type IV collagen). The noncollagenous domain 1 alpha 3 chain of type…

Malignant melanoma is a form of skin cancer that forms in melanocyte cells in the basal layer of the epidermis which produce melanin that gives human their skin, hair, and eye color. Malignant melanoma grows malignant tumors due to DNA damage to the skin cells probable to UV radiation that causes mutations and sets off skin cells to multiply rapidly and form these malignant tumors. Melanomas are closely similar to moles making it difficult for a person to distinguish from a normal mole to a…
