1. Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia: 2021-2025 Term. Work and Challenges
Abstract The technological advancement of the pharmaceutical industry, resulting from the techniques of molecular biology and expansion of the knowledge of immunopathogenesis, has modified the therapeutic arsenal used in dermatology. Scientific research and regulatory standards cause drug costs to rise, thus making their use impossible in most public policie

3. Correlation between the cytokine profile and anticongestive medication in patients with chronic chagasic cardiopathy
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Chronic chagasic cardiopathy (CCC) is essentially a dilated cardiomyopathy in which a subacute, but constant chronic inflammatory process causes progressive destruction of the heart tissue. The action of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interferon gamma (IFN-γ), and anti-inflammatory cytokines,

4. Low Frequency Of Regulatory B-Cells And Increased CD4+ and CD8+ Interferon-γ-producing cells in patients with tropical spastic paraparesis associated with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Tropical spastic paraparesis/HTLV-1 associated myelopathy (TSP/HAM) is a disease caused by human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-I) that mainly infects CD4 T cells-for example, those of the CD4+CD25hiFOXP3+ [Treg] phenotype-where it inhibits forkhead box protein P3 (FOXP3) expression and promotes interferon-γ (IFN-γ) express

5. Analysis of the immunological biomarker profile during acute Zika virus infection reveals the overexpression of CXCL10, a chemokine linked to neuronal damage
BACKGROUND Infection with Zika virus (ZIKV) manifests in a broad spectrum of disease ranging from mild illness to severe neurological complications and little is known about Zika immunopathogenesis. OBJECTIVES To define the immunologic biomarkers that correlate with acute ZIKV infection. METHODS We characterized the levels of circulating cytokines, chemok

6. Imbalance of Th17 and Treg in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of active tuberculosis patients
Abstract Objective: Maintaining a right balance between Th17 and Treg might be critical to the immunopathogenesis of active tuberculosis (TB). This study aimed to assess whether the Th17/Treg balance is altered in active TB patients. Methods: 250 study subjects (90 active TB patients, 80 latent TB subjects, and 80 healthy controls) were recruited for the s

7. Septic arthritis: immunopathogenesis, experimental models and therapy
Septic arthritis is an inflammatory disease of the joints that is started by an infection whose most common agent is Staphylococcus aureus. In this review we discuss some of the most arthritogenic bacterial factors and the contribution of innate and specific immune mechanisms to joint destruction. Special emphasis is given to the induction of experimental

8. CD8+ T cells in situ in different clinical forms of human cutaneous leishmaniasis
Introduction Leishmania braziliensis infection induces a large spectrum of lesions that clinically manifest as nodules or papules that progress to ulcers. Although it is already known that T helper cells predominate in the lesions, cytotoxic T cells have also been reported to be present, and their role in leishmaniasis immunopathogenesis is not well known.

9. Environmental influences on antibody-enhanced dengue disease outcomes
Because an enriched environment (EE) enhances T-cell activity and T-lymphocytes contribute to immunopathogenesis during heterologous dengue virus (DENV) infections, we hypothesised that an EE increases dengue severity. To compare single serotype (SS) and antibody-enhanced disease (AED) infections regimens, serial intraperitoneal were performed with DENV3 (ge

10. Interleukin-10-dependent down-regulation of interferon-gamma response to Leishmania by Mycobacterium leprae antigens during the clinical course of a coinfection
We have described a case of a patient with an intriguing association of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis with lepromatous leprosy, two opposite polar forms of these spectral diseases. In the present follow-up study, we investigated the effect of the addition of Mycobacterium leprae antigens on interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) production in Leishmania antigen-stimulated

11. Papel dos receptores do tipo Toll (TLRs) na imunopatogênese da malária associada à gravidez. / The role of Toll like receptors (TLRs) in the immunopathogenesis of pregnancy associated malaria.
A malária asociada à gavidez pode gerar complicações para a mãe e para o feto. Receptores do tipo Toll (TLR) TLR2, TLR4 e TLR9, podem reconhecer componentes do Plasmódio. Estes receptores sinalizam via proteína MyD88. Contudo existem poucos dados sobre os TLR na malária placentária. Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi estudar o papel dos TLR2, 4, 9

12. Desenvolvimento e avaliação imunológica de Nanotubos de Carbono funcionalizados com a proteína de envelope de Dengue virus 3
In terms of epidemiologic impact, Dengue (DENV) infections represent the most important infectious disease in Brazil. Consequently, the development of an efficient vaccine is considered a high priority. Due to this fact, many studies are being developed towards this goal, but no vaccine is currently available to the population. Carbon Nanotubes (CNT) have be
