Abstract

Susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is associated with genetic, hormonal, immunological, and environmental factors. Many genes have been related with the appearance of SLE, including several loci that code different complement components and their receptors. Some genetic deficiencies of complement molecules are strongly associated with SLE, probably because these deficiencies could cause decreased clearance of apoptotic cell material. As a consequence of the apoptotic material accumulation, high levels of autoantigens can be presented inappropriately to the immune system in an inflammatory context, resulting in an imbalance on the mechanisms of immunological tolerance, immune system activation, and autoantibody production. Recent studies proposed a role to the mannose-binding lectin (MBL) in the SLE physiopathogenesis. This protein activates the complement system, and the presence of several polymorphisms at the promoter and coding regions of the MBL-2 gene determines alterations at the plasma levels of MBL. Some of these polymorphisms have been associated with SLE susceptibility, as well as with clinical and laboratory typical features of this disease, cardiovascular events, and infections. Besides, it has been described that the presence of anti-MBL autoantibodies in sera of SLE patients can influence MBL plasma levels and its functional activity.

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.
