Aim: To study the relationship between serum inflammation factors interleukin-8 (IL-8), high-sensitivity C-reaction protein, tumor necrosis factor-α and coronary lesions in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients,
Methods: One hundred and six CHD patients were enrolled, 100 healthy subjects served as control group. The levels of serum IL-8, hsCRP (by) and TNF-α were determined. Coronary lesions were calculated by Gensini method.
Results: The levels of Serum IL-8, hsCRP and TNF-α in CHD group were significantly higher than those in control group were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.05), and serum IL-8, hsCRP and TNF-α in CHD group increased gradually with the increase of Gensini score (P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that Gensini score was positively correlated to IL-8 (P < 0.05), hsCRP (P < 0.05) and TNF-α (P < 0.05) in CHD group.
Conclusion: Severity of coronary lesions in CHD patients may be related to the levels of serum IL-8, hsCRP and TNF-α.

The purpose of this study was to examine the secretion of inflammatory cytokines by cultured monocytes/macrophages in patients with premature coronary artery disease (CAD). The study included 38 patients with premature CAD and 35 patients without CAD. A primary culture of CD14+ monocytes was obtained by immunomagnetic separation.

Introduction: Friend Leukemia Integration 1 Transcription Factor (FLI1) has attracted attention due to its involvement in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Nevertheless, the precise mechanism through which FLI1 contributes to RA remains elusive. We investigated the potential role of FLI1 in RA through integrated bioinformatics, clinical experiments, and cellular experiments.

Supraphysiological concentrations of calciprotein particles (CPPs), which are indispensable scavengers of excessive Ca and PO ions in blood, induce pro-inflammatory activation of endothelial cells (ECs) and monocytes. Here, we determined physiological levels of CPPs (10 μg/mL calcium, corresponding to 10% increase in Ca in the serum or medium) and investigated whether the pathological effects of calcium stress depend on the calcium delivery form, such as Ca ions, albumin- or fetuin-centric calciprotein monomers (CPM-A/CPM-F), and albumin- or fetuin-centric CPPs (CPP-A/CPP-F). The treatment with CPP-A or CPP-F upregulated transcription of pro-inflammatory genes (, , , , , , , ) and promoted release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1/CCL2, and MIP-3α/CCL20) and pro- and anti-thrombotic molecules (PAI-1 and uPAR) in human arterial ECs and monocytes, although these results depended on the type of cell and calcium-containing particles.

Introduction: Albumin kinetics in septic shock have been extensively studied, but clinical recommendations remain weak. An increased transcapillary escape rate (TER) of albumin has been demonstrated, though TER does not account for lymphatic return. Mass balance calculations, considering lymphatic return, have been used to assess net albumin leakage (NAL) in major surgery but not in sepsis.

Background: Psilocybin is a psychedelic drug with potential therapeutic effects in patients with mood and substance use disorders. Little is known about its impact on the immune system.
Methods: Multiplex immunoassay pro-inflammatory cytokine panels (Meso-Scale Discovery, Rockville, MD) were used to examine the serum from participants in three separate randomized controlled clinical trials (randomized controlled trials [RCTs]) wherein a range of doses of psilocybin were administered (methods reported previously).
