Allergic Drug Reactions

1.1K
Allergic reactions related to drugs are hypersensitivity responses driven by the immune system and bear no connection to the drug's therapeutic action. While drugs in isolation do not trigger an immune response, they can interact with endogenous proteins to form antigens. These antigens stimulate lymphocytes to produce antibodies. IgE-type antibodies attach themselves to mast cells. Upon subsequent exposure to the same stimulus, the antigen-antibody interaction is initiated, unleashing...

Tissue Transplantation01:24

Tissue Transplantation

689
Tissue transplantation is a significant medical procedure involving the transfer of cells, tissues, or organs from a donor to a recipient, with the primary aim of restoring lost functions. This procedure is crucial in treating a broad spectrum of diseases, including kidney diseases, liver failure, heart disease, and certain types of cancers.
The Biology of Tissue Transplantation
The biology of tissue transplantation hinges on the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) molecules. These molecules...

Bone Marrow Sampling and Transplants

625
Bone marrow transplant is a potential cure for several diseases, including cancer and specific genetic disorders. Notably, this procedure is applicable for patients suffering from aplastic anemia, certain types of leukemia, severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, thalassemia, sickle-cell disease, and certain cancers.
The transplant begins with high doses of chemotherapy and radiation treatment, which aim to destroy...

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity01:26

Antigens Involved in Adaptive Immunity

894
An antigen is any substance the immune system identifies as foreign and potentially harmful to the body, prompting an immune response. Antigens have two functional properties: immunogenicity and reactivity. Immunogenicity is the ability of an antigen to stimulate a specific immune response. At the same time, reactivity describes the antigen's ability to react with the cells and antibodies produced in response to it.
Complete Antigens
Complete antigens possess both immunogenicity and...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Immunology
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Increasing use of orthopedic implants has led to a rise in implant failures, particularly between 15-20 years post-implantation.
  • Host immune system interaction with implant materials is a suspected primary cause of long-term orthopedic implant failure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current data on immune reactions at the implant-tissue interface.
  • To outline the timeline and influencing factors of these immune responses.
  • To categorize different types of immune reactions to orthopedic implants.

Main Methods:

  • Literature search conducted using PubMed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Library.
  • Review of recent data on host-implant immunologic interactions.

Main Results:

  • Immune reactions at the implant site can be classified into hyperacute, acute, transitional, and chronic phases.
  • Various factors can influence the type and severity of immune responses.
  • Understanding these reactions is crucial for addressing implant longevity.

Conclusions:

  • Research in implant-related immunology aims to mitigate long-term implant failure.
  • Further investigation into host-implant immune interactions can lead to improved orthopedic device design and patient outcomes.
