Toward an early warning system for health issues related to particulate matter ...
Roux, Emmanuel; Ignotti, Eliane; Bègue, Nelson; Bencherif, Hassan; Catry, Thibault; Dessay, Nadine; Gracie, Renata; Gurgel, Helen da Costa: PM2.5 severely affects human health. Remotely sensed (RS) data can be used to estimate PM2.5 concentrations and population exposure, and therefore to explain acute respiratory disorders. However, available global PM2.5 concentration forecast products derived from models assimilating RS data have not yet been exploited to generate early alerts for respiratory problems in Brazil. We investigated the feasibility...
Inflammatory cytokines in leprosy reactions and periodontal diseases
Cortela, Denise Costa Boamorte; Nogueira, Maria Renata Sales; Pereira, Ana Carla; Souza Junior, Alcione Lescano de; Ignotti, ElianeThe inflammatory cytokines involved in the immune response to chronic periodontal disease (CPD) in the context of leprosy reactions (LR) were analyzed in 57 new cases of multibacillary leprosy (MBL). They were stratified by the presence of CPD and LR. Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of inflammatory mediators was determined by qRT-PCR using skin biopsy and by ELISA using serum samples, maintaining 5% of signific...
