    Ideas of I.I Mechnikov stated in biologic theory of inflammation and, specifically, about leading role of phagocytic cells are getting more and more prevalent. Special attention is paid to study of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and cytokines roles in initiation of inflammatory reaction. TLRs are present not only on immune system's cells but virtually on all cells of an organism. On the basis of these data we proposed the hypothesis designated as "one receptor-many cells" and "one receptor-one cell". In the former case the leading role in recognition of antigen belongs to TLRs then followed by other organism's cells, which is characteristic for innate immunity. In the latter case recognition is realized through T- and B-cell receptor presented only on lymphocytes, which is characteristic for adaptive immunity. New class of lipid mediators (rezlovins, protectins etc.) involved in stage of inflammation resolve is revealed. This means that drugs with antiinflammatory activity can act according to principle "go-stop". Complex of natural cytokines and cationic antimicrobial peptides (Superlymph) possesses such effect.

    Inflammatory Response I: Vascular and Cellular

    The inflammatory response is the body's defense against infection, injury, or irritation from bacteria, trauma, toxins, or heat. Inflammation helps locate and destroy pathogens and remove damaged tissue elements to heal the body. During this initial phase, fluid, blood products, and nutrients migrate to the injured area, resulting in redness, heat, swelling, ache, and loss of function. Moreover, signs of systemic inflammation include fever, increased WBC count, malaise, anorexia, nausea,...

    Acute Inflammation III: Local and Systemic Effects

    Acute inflammation produces a coordinated set of local and systemic changes that limit injury, eliminate pathogens, and initiate repair. These responses arise within minutes of infection, trauma, or chemical insult and are driven by vascular alterations and leukocyte-derived mediators. When the stimulus resolves, the reaction typically abates within days.Local EffectsAt the site of injury, arteriolar vasodilation increases blood flow, resulting in redness and warmth. Simultaneously, increased...

    Inflammatory Response

    An inflammatory response is a localized, nonspecific immune reaction that occurs when a tissue is injured. It is characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain, which are commonly called the cardinal signs and symptoms of inflammation. Inflammation can sometimes result in a loss of function.
    Inflammation can be triggered by various stimuli, such as impact, abrasion, chemical irritation, infections, and extreme hot or cold temperatures. These can damage cells and connective tissue fibers,...

    Inflammation: Introduction

    Inflammation is a fundamental, protective biological response of vascularized tissues to cellular injury, infection, or harmful stimuli. Its primary function is to eliminate the initial cause of injury, clear necrotic cells and damaged tissue, and initiate the necessary repair processes.Cardinal SignsAcute inflammation presents with classic signs. Redness results from vasodilation and increased blood flow. Heat is due to increased metabolism and circulation. Swelling results from the...

    Acute Inflammation I: Inflammatory Response

    Acute inflammation is a rapid, short-lived physiological response to tissue injury or infection, designed to eliminate harmful agents and initiate repair. This tightly regulated process typically lasts from minutes to several days and is triggered by factors such as microbial invasion, physical trauma, or chemical injury.Recognition and Mediator ReleaseThe inflammatory response begins when resident immune cells—such as mast cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells—detect damage-associated...
