[DYNAMICS OF APOPTOTIC MARKERS (INTERLEUKIN-2 AND TNF-α) IN THE BLOOD SERUM OF CHILDREN WITH CHRONIC
Unlabelled:
The aim was to investigate apoptotic dynamics by IL-2 and TNF-α levels in the blood serum of children with chronic gastroduodenites.
Materials And Methods:
There were examined 90 children with chronic gastroduodenitis. Cytokine level in the serum was studied at admission and in dynamics.
Results:
Chronic gastroduodenitis is accompanied by the increase of IL-2 and TNF-α concentration thus reflecting the activity of apoptotic processes. The decrease of the markers' (IL-2 and TNF-α) levels after 10-11 days, 3 and 9 months after treatment indicates the decrease of apoptotic activity. In hyperplastic and atrophic gastritis there has been registered the highest and the lowest concentration of the markers, respectively. H. pylori contributes to the TNF-α production mainly.

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
Inflammatory Bowel Disease II: Crohn's Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease, commonly known as IBD, refers to a collection of disorders that lead to persistent inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. The two types of IBD are ulcerative colitis, which impacts the colon, and Crohn's disease, which can involve any part of the gastrointestinal segment.
Crohn's disease
Crohn's disease is a chronic, systemic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that predominantly affects the gastrointestinal tract. It is marked by...
