Abstract

This study was performed to identify the role of cholinergic stimulation on changes of intracellular calcium concentrations as intracellular messenger of neuroimmune interaction. Incubation of PBMC with acetylcholine (ACh) leads to Ca2+ oscillations in healthy controls. PBMC from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients exhibited increased basal Ca2+ concentrations with a significantly reduced capacity to respond upon ACh stimulation compared to healthy controls. It can be assumed that cholinergic signals in PBMC are mediated via the nicotinergic type of ACh receptors, causing changes in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations with various types of oscillations. The significantly decreased modulation of intracellular Ca2+ levels by ACh in PBMC of RA patients points further to a disturbed neuroimmune interaction in this chronic disease.

Reizdarmsyndrom: Diäten wirksamer als Medikamente

29.04.2024 Reizdarmsyndrom Nachrichten

Bei Reizdarmsyndrom scheinen Diäten, wie etwa die FODMAP-arme oder die kohlenhydratreduzierte Ernährung, effektiver als eine medikamentöse Therapie zu sein. Das hat eine Studie aus Schweden ergeben, die die drei Therapieoptionen im direkten Vergleich analysierte.

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.
