The effects of tidal volume size and driving pressure levels on pulmonary complement activation: an observational study in critically ill patients

Intensive Care Medicine Experimental, 2020
Background Mechanical ventilation can induce or even worsen lung injury, at least in part via overdistension caused by too large volumes or too high pressures.

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Complement proteins changes in ischemic stroke patients and their relation to outcome

Immunobiology
We studied plasma levels of complement system factors C1q, C2, C3, C3b, C4, C4b, C5, C5a, C9 of 84 patients with ischemic stroke within 24 h from onset of symptoms and on seventh day after admission, using Luminex immunoassay.

Complement 3a and Complement 5a as Biochemical Markers in Diabetic Nephropathy [PDF]

International Journal of Medical Arts
Background: Diabetes mellitus [DM] is growing into a global epidemic and diabetic nephropathy [DN] is one of its most feared complications. Inflammation is an important mechanism in the pathogenesis of DN and many studies have pointed to anaphylatoxins ...

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

Complementing Cancer Metastasis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
Complement is an effector of innate immunity and a bridge connecting innate immunity and subsequent adaptive immune responses. It is essential for protection against infections and for orchestrating inflammatory responses.

The Oral‐Gut Axis: Bidirectional Interactions Between Microbiome and Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This study aims to summarize the mechanisms underlying ectopic colonization of the gut by oral pathobionts and the microbial and host factors that regulate this process. ABSTRACT Increased colonization of typically oral microorganisms is frequently observed in the gut mucosa or lumen of individuals with gastrointestinal disorders, including patients ...

Potential Mechanisms Underlying TGF-β-mediated Complement Activation in Lung Fibrosis [PDF]

, 2017
While our previous studies suggest that limiting bleomycin-induced complement activation suppresses TGF-β signaling, the specific hierarchical interactions between TGF-β and complement in lung fibrosis are unclear.
