Composite-derived monomers affect cell viability and cytokine expression in hum...
Neves,Sheyla Omonte; Magalhães,Luísa Mourão Dias; Corrêa,Jôice Dias; Dutra,Walderez Ornelas; Gollob,Kenneth John; Silva,Tarcília AparecidaAbstract Objectives: Dental composites release unreacted resin monomers into the oral environment, even after polymerization. Periodontal cells are, therefore, exposed to substances that potentially elicit the immune inflammatory response. The underlying molecular mechanisms associated with the interaction between resin monomers and human immune cells found in the gingival crevicular fluid are not fully underst...
Persistent Sydenham’s chorea is not associated with sustained lymphocyte dysfun...
Torres,Karen Cecília de Lima; Rocha,Natália Pessoa; Rezende,Vítor Bortolo de; Dutra,Walderez Ornelas; Gollob,Kenneth John; Cardoso,FranciscoThe mechanisms involved in the symptoms of Sydenham’s chorea (SC) remain obscure. Taking into account the autoreactive antibody-mediated hypothesis of SC pathogenesis, the persistence of chorea may be associated with increased levels of B1 lymphocytes and other lymphocyte subsets. We evaluated lymphocyte subsets, including B1 and T cells, in patients with remitted (RSC) and persistent (PSC) SC by flow cytometry...
