[Examination of leukocyte-endothel interactions in inflammatory animal models]

GONDA Andrea, MIKECZ Katalin, HUNYADI János

[Leukocyte influx into tissues is one of the hallmarks of physiological reactions to inflammatory stimuli, which is followed by a multistep process, resulting in leukocyte extravasation from the postcapillary venules. The different kinds of adhesion molecules, that play role in the rolling and firm adhesion of the leukocytes, have been investigated very intensively. By the help of animal models of inflammation, numerous individuals, being in the same stage of the disease, can be examined. The... tovább »

[Altered rate and absolute count of Th1/Th2 and Tc1/Tc2 lymphocytes in whole blood of patients with psoriasis]

ANTAL-SZALMÁS Péter, ALEKSZA Magdolna, GONDA Andrea, HERÉDI Emese, SIPKA Sándor, HUNYADI János, SZEGEDI Andrea

[BACKGROUND - Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterised by an altered rate of interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-4 producing lesional and peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. To further characterise the imbalance of these cells and cytokines the rate and as a novel approach the absolute cell count (ACC) of IFN-γ+, IL-4+ and IL-10+ Thelper and Tcytotoxic cells was determined in the peripheral blood of psoriatic individuals. MATERIALS AND METHODS - Cell-associated... tovább »

[Alpha calcidol treatment in patients with psoriatic arthropathy: clinical and immunological effects]

GAÁL János, LAKOS Gabriella, ALEKSZA Magdolna, KISS Judit, HORVÁTH Irén, HORKAY Edit, NAGY Georgina, SZEGEDI Andrea

[OBJECTIVE - Our objective was to describe the functional changes of the immune system also to evaluate the clinical parameters during systemic alphacalcidol (1αOH vitamin D3) treatment in patients with psoriatic arthropathy. PATIENTS AND METHOD - Nineteen patients with peripheral polyarticular form of psoriatic arthropathy were investigated. Ten patients were treated with daily 2×25 mcg alphacalcidol per os for 6 months and the other 9 patients served as controls. Three visits (at start, 3 and... tovább »

[The role of endothelial cells]

CERVENAK László

[The role of endothelial cells is much beyond the well known barrier function between blood and tissues. Several different stimuli converge in the endothelial cells, which in turn regulate a number of vital processes in the organisms. Among these processes one of the most important is the immune response. Endothelial cells modulate the homing of leukocytes by the production of adhesion molecules and cytokines depending on activation state, anatomic location and vessel type. Endothelial cells... tovább »
