Journal ArticleDOI

Increased circulating hematopoietic and endothelial progenitor cells in the early phase of acute myocardial infarction

TL;DR: Spontaneous mobilization of both HPCs and EPCs occurs within a few hours from the onset of AMI and is detectable until 2 months, while the number of endothelial colonies was higher in patients with AMI (T0) than in CTRLs (P < .05).
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation of Serum Interleukin-6 Levels with Joint Involvement and Thrombocytosis in Systemic Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis

TL;DR: Serum IL-6 levels correlated with the extent and severity of joint involvement, and with platelet counts, suggest that IL- 6 plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of systemic-onset JRA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epitope-specific immunotherapy induces immune deviation of proinflammatory T cells in rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: The observed change in immune reactivity to dnaJP1 was the outcome of treatment-induced emergence of T cells with a different functional phenotype, contributing to the knowledge of mechanisms and tools needed for antigen-specific immune modulation in humans, thus laying the foundation for exploitation for therapeutic purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Serum soluble interleukin 6 (IL-6) receptor and IL-6/soluble IL-6 receptor complex in systemic juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: The large quantities of serum IL- 6 present in IL-6/sIL-6 R complexes appear to be biologically relevant in vivo, at least as far as the induction by IL-8 of acute phase protein production.
