The structure and function of the endothelial glycocalyx varies substantially among different organ systems and is affected by inflammatory conditions, such as sepsis [35].
In particular, high circulating levels of MMP8 and MMP9 were found in patients affected by inflammatory conditions, such as pancreatitis and pneumonia.
They can also be triggered by inflammatory conditions such as systemic lupus erythematous (SLE), but again there was no evidence of such an etiology in this case, with a normal ESR and no CSF pleocytosis.
Pleurisy is commonly caused by infection in the underlying lung and, rarely, by diffuse inflammatory conditions such as lupus erythematosus.
It may also be caused by several inflammatory conditions, such as sarcoidosis (which is then called neurosarcoidosis), connective tissue disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus, and certain forms of vasculitis (inflammatory conditions of the blood vessel wall), such as Behçet's disease.
However, Trx80 is detected in plasma of healthy blood donors in concentration up to 20 nM [15]; and functional assays show increased levels of Trx80 in patients with severe schistosomiasis [8] and patients affected by chronic inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis [30].
It is known that chemokine responsiveness in neutrophils can be modulated by some inflammatory conditions, such as sepsis.
We identified, for the first time, genes that are specifically regulated by APC under inflammatory conditions, such as chromatin binding protein 4B (CHMP4B) and p300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF), thus indicating a role of APC in the epigenetic control of gene transcription.
Tahitian noni is used by many to treat inflammatory conditions such as abscesses and for general well-being as indicated by patients who admitted to its use in this survey.
Some workers have suggested a role for C3 synthesis by monocytes in local inflammatory conditions such as glomerulonephritis and transplant rejection [18], [19].
YKL-40 is expressed by macrophage cells during late stage of differentiation [ 3], by tumor-associated macrophages [ 4], by infiltrating macrophages in various inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis [ 5], and by macrophage and giant cells in arteritis vessel [ 6].
