Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate whether immunoregulatory invariant NK T cells are deficient in Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis. Blood was collected for flow cytometry from 106 Crohn's disease, 91 ulcerative colitis, and 155 control subjects. Invariant NK T cells were assessed by Vα24 and (α-galactosylceramide/CD1d tetramer markers. Intracellular cytokine was measured after in vitro anti-CD3 antibody stimulation. Vα24+ T cells were quantified in ileocolonic biopsies as mRNA by real-time PCR and by immunofluorescence. Circulating invariant NK T cells were 5.3% of the control levels in Crohn's (P < 0.001) and 7.9% of the control levels in ulcerative colitis (P < 0.001). Interleukin-4 production was impaired in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Intestinal Vα24 mRNA expression was 7% in Crohn's disease (P < 0.05) and 9% in ulcerative colitis (P < 0.05). Intestinal Vα24+ T cells were 23% in Crohn's disease but not reduced in ulcerative colitis. We conclude that invariant NK T cells are deficient in Crohn's disease and in ulcerative colitis.

Notfall-TEP der Hüfte ist auch bei 90-Jährigen machbar

26.04.2024 Hüft-TEP Nachrichten

Ob bei einer Notfalloperation nach Schenkelhalsfraktur eine Hemiarthroplastik oder eine totale Endoprothese (TEP) eingebaut wird, sollte nicht allein vom Alter der Patientinnen und Patienten abhängen. Auch über 90-Jährige können von der TEP profitieren.

Niedriger diastolischer Blutdruck erhöht Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Komplikationen

25.04.2024 Hypotonie Nachrichten

Wenn unter einer medikamentösen Hochdrucktherapie der diastolische Blutdruck in den Keller geht, steigt das Risiko für schwere kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse: Darauf deutet eine Sekundäranalyse der SPRINT-Studie hin.

Bei schweren Reaktionen auf Insektenstiche empfiehlt sich eine spezifische Immuntherapie

Insektenstiche sind bei Erwachsenen die häufigsten Auslöser einer Anaphylaxie. Einen wirksamen Schutz vor schweren anaphylaktischen Reaktionen bietet die allergenspezifische Immuntherapie. Jedoch kommt sie noch viel zu selten zum Einsatz.

Therapiestart mit Blutdrucksenkern erhöht Frakturrisiko

25.04.2024 Hypertonie Nachrichten

Beginnen ältere Männer im Pflegeheim eine Antihypertensiva-Therapie, dann ist die Frakturrate in den folgenden 30 Tagen mehr als verdoppelt. Besonders häufig stürzen Demenzkranke und Männer, die erstmals Blutdrucksenker nehmen. Dafür spricht eine Analyse unter US-Veteranen.
