A Possible Change Process of Inflammatory Cytokines in the Prolonged Chronic Stress and Its Ultimate Implications for Health by Rui Tian, Gonglin Hou, Dan Li, Ti-Fei Yuan

“…At the early stage of stress, the activated hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) axis can upregulate the levels of glucocorticoid (GCs) and catecholamines (CAs), respectively, and then they in turn inhibit the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines directly or indirectly while promoting the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines. …”

Defective antigen presentation by monocytes in ESRD patients not responding to hepatitis B vaccination: impaired HBsAg internalization and expression of ICAM-1 and HLA-DR/Ia molecu... by J. Stachowski, C. Barth, M. Pollok, J. Michalkiewicz, K. Madalinski, J. Maciejewski, C. A. Baldamis

“…It was found that in uraemic non-responders, (1) the internalization of HBsAg by monocytes was significantly decreasjed—HBsAg complexed with specific IgG or as immune complex isolated from patients is better internalized compared with free HBsAg; (2) during antigen presentation the expression of adhesion (ICAM-1) and accessory (HLA-DR/Ia) molecules was significantly decreased in uraemic patients, especially in non-responders; and (3) impaired internalization of HBsAg as well as a decrease in ICAM-1 and HLA-DR/Ia expression, correlated well with the blunted proliferation of CD4+ T cells stimulated by autologous monocytes induced by HBsAg.…”

A morte em forma de poesia: comoção, indignação e reivindicação em cordéis midiatizados by Simone Mendes

“…In a rhetorical argumentation, logical thought and demonstration aren’t enough to guarantee the efficiency of the interaction, because, while basing itself on the interlocutor adhesion to a thesis, through belief, other re-requirements are raised and need to be observed, like the speaker ethos or his honesty, sincerity, sense of justice, seriousness and reliability; the pathos or the ability of raising emotions in the public logos or the discourse itself and its rationality, using by the speaker to reinforce his point of view and his socio-discursive representations around the given theme. …”

Cardiac Hypertrophy and Fibrosis in the Metabolic Syndrome: A Role for Aldosterone and the Mineralocorticoid Receptor by Eric E. Essick, Flora Sam

“…These studies illustrate a complex cross-talk between adipose tissue, the heart, and the adrenal cortex. Furthermore, we discuss findings from our laboratory that suggest that cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in the metabolic syndrome may involve cross-talk between aldosterone and adipokines (such as adiponectin).…”
