Synovial Complement Factors in Patients with Periprosthetic Joint Infection after Undergoing Revision Arthroplasty of the Hip or Knee Joint

Diagnostics, 2021
The role and diagnostic value of the synovial complement system in patients with low-grade periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) are unclear. We sought to evaluate, for the first time, the usefulness of synovial complement factors in these patients by ...

Hypoglycemia-induced changes in complement pathways in type 2 diabetes

Atherosclerosis Plus, 2021
Background and aims: An association between hypoglycaemia and adverse cardiovascular events has been suggested from longitudinal and retrospective cohort studies. The complement pathway proteins in hypoglycemia are not well studied. Here, we hypothesized

Complement, but Not Platelets, Plays a Pivotal Role in the Outcome of Mucormycosis In Vivo

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Background: Mucormycetes, a heterogeneous group of fungi, induce a life-threatening disease called mucormycosis. Immune deficiencies represent a major risk factor; hence, we wanted to illuminate the role of complement and platelets in the defense against

Deficient IFN signaling by myeloid cells leads to MAVS-dependent virus-induced sepsis [PDF]

, 2014
The type I interferon (IFN) signaling response limits infection of many RNA and DNA viruses. To define key cell types that require type I IFN signaling to orchestrate immunity against West Nile virus (WNV), we infected mice with conditional deletions of ...

Characteristics and management of thrombotic microangiopathy in kidney transplantation

Korean Journal of Transplantation, 2023
Thrombotic microangiopathy is not a rare complication of kidney transplantation and is characterized by microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury with extensive thrombosis of the arterioles and capillaries.

Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome : update on the complement system and what is new [PDF]

, 2010
Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a rare disease of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and predominant renal impairment. It is characterized by the absence of Shiga toxin-producing bacteria as a triggering factor.

Interactions between human complement components factor H, factor I and C3b [PDF]

Biochemical Journal, 1997
Using a microtitre plate assay, direct binding between complement factors I and H was demonstrated, and ligand blotting indicated that factor H interacts with the heavy chain of factor I. Similarly, direct C3(NH3)–factor I and C3(NH3)–factor H binding was characterized [where C3(NH3) is a form of C3 that is cleaved by factor I in the presence of factor

Genetic variation in CFH predicts phenytoin-induced maculopapular exanthema in European-descent patients [PDF]

, 2017
Objective To characterize, among European and Han Chinese populations, the genetic predictors of maculopapular exanthema (MPE), a cutaneous adverse drug reaction common to antiepileptic drugs.

Complement factors and reticular pseudodrusen in intermediate age-related macular degeneration staged by multimodal imaging

BMJ Open Ophthalmology, 2020
Objective Systemic activation of the complement system in intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is understudied. Moreover, links between the presence of reticular pseudodrusen (RPD) and systemic complement dysregulation have not been ...
