Despite considerable progress in the manage-ment of burn care, systemic inflammatory re-sponse syndrome, sepsis, and multiple organ failure still continue to be a leading cause of mor-

Sepsis and its complications continue to represent a significant cause of mortality among hospitalized patients. It includes a systemic inflammatory re-sponse to infection and when associated with organ

, an initial localized inflammation that subsided with the subsequent formation of a fibrous capsule. However, the periodontal membrane adjacent to the composite resin restorations demonstrated chronic inflammation. It was concluded that the composite evoked chronic inflammatory re-sponses of the periodontal

of bioactive bacterial products. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether irradiation with low-energy neodymium-doped:yttrium, aluminum, and garnet (Nd:YAG) laser, in addi-tion to the effects on bacterial implant decontamination, was capable of attenuating the LPS-induced inflammatory re-sponse

]. Conversely, an exaggerated anti-inflammatory re-sponse conducted by some grade of impaired immune response may have a negative effect on clinical resolution [4]. Among the cytokines involved in the inflammatory re-sponse, we can include interleukin 10 (IL-10) as a critical anti-inflammatory cytokine

, could augment monocyte inflammatory re-sponses via RAGE. In this study, we examined whether LR-90, a compound belonging to a new class of AGE inhib-itor, could inhibit inflammatory responses in human mono-cytes. Human THP-1 cells were pretreated with LR-90 and then stimulated with S100b. LR-90

Ethanol consumption is linked to a higher incidence of traumatic wounds and increases the risk for morbidity and mortality following surgical or traumatic injury. One of the most profound effects of acute ethanol exposure on wound healing occurs during the inflammatory re-sponse, and altered

to the management of major haemorrhage have transformed during recent decades, based mainly on retrospective evidence. Contemporary approaches emphasize rapid control of bleeding, early management of coagulopathy, maintenance of adequate perfu-sion, and minimizing the inflammatory re-sponse.2 Developments

The endocrine, metabolic and inflammatory re-sponses to injury and infection are composed of a variety of physiological changes often grouped together and called the surgical stress response. Over the past few decades, detailed knowledge has accumulated on this response and has allowed

Stress from critical illness acti-vates a neurogenic – endocri-ne–inflammatory response, in-cluding activation of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis re-sulting in increased cortisol production (1, 2). Cortisol plays a key role in the compensatory anti-inflammatory re-sponse syndrome
