Background: Since the plasma cytokine profile reflects the body's inflammatory response to injury, this study was designed to prospectively observe the plasma cytokine levels in response to the degree of different sorts of abdominal surgical trauma.
Methods: Plasma levels of TNF-alpha, type I TNF receptor (p55), type II TNF receptor (p75), IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)), and haptoglobin were measured peri-operatively in patients undergoing bowel resection for inflammatory bowel disease or diverticulitis (IBD) (n = 9), elective repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) (n = 9), or laparoscopic cholecystectomy (lap chole) (n = 9).
Results: The IBD patients showed a significant (p < 0.05) post-operative elevation in plasma IL-6, p55, p75, and PLA(2) levels, but no significant change in TNF-alpha, IL-8, IL-10 or haptoglobin levels. The AAA patients had a significant post-operative rise in IL-10 levels and a significant decrease in plasma haptoglobin levels, but no significant change of TNF-alpha, IL-6, IL-8, p55, p75, or PLA(2) concentrations. The lap chole patients demonstrated no significant change in any of these parameters.
Conclusion: These data show that IL-6, IL-10, p55, and p75 are markers to measure the degree of inflammatory stress associated with abdominal operative procedures and demonstrate the relative lack of a cytokine response to laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Mast cells (MCs) are derived from hematopoietic progenitors, mature in vascularized tissues, and participate in innate and acquired immunity. Neuroinflammation is a highly debated topic in the biomedical literature; however, the impact of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and IL-33 on MCs in the brain has not been widely addressed. MCs can be activated by IgE binding to FcεRI, as well as by different antigens.

To explore benchmark dose (BMD) estimations of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) based on Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) . A total of 155 adult residents of a coking plant in Shanxi Province who were surveyed in summer (June to August) from 2014 to 2019 were selected as the research objects. Fasting elbow vein blood of the subjects was collected in the morning for automatic analysis and detection of blood routine.

Tuberculosis presents a global health challenge, and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) signalling is required for host immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). TNF receptor shedding, however, compromises effective immunity by reducing bioactive TNF through the formation of inactive complexes. In this study, we first compared the effect of total soluble TNF receptors using a transgenic p55 /p75 murine strain on host protection during a low-dose aerosol Mtb H37Rv challenge.

Introduction: Pre-transplant serum phosphorus level is shown to be associated with some transplant outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease. However, its association with Delayed graft function (DGF) has an aura of ambiguity. DGF means either the patient needs dialysis during the first week after transplantation or the creatinine level is ≥ 3.

Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is defined as the systemic host response to infection or a non-infectious factor. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in severe inflammation and to assess the discrimination strength of the neutrophil BURSTTEST assay regarding its etiology in three groups of patients (sepsis, burns, and bone fractures) who met the SIRS criteria. The neutrophil activation (respiratory burst of granulocytes as well as p55 and p75 tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) receptor expression) was evaluated twice using flow cytometry, and the results were compared with healthy controls and among SIRS subjects.
