amounted to 6.9+2.3 pg/ml at a normal rate -4.3+0.7 pg/ml (p<0.05), but the highest increase was observed in IL1b (10.4 +3.9 pg/ml and 2.05+0.03 pg/ml, respectively, p<0.05), which reflects the increased activity of macrophages involved in maintaining the inflammatory process. Thus, the data obtained demonstrate that the intestinal microvascular endothelium of the intestinal mucosa can respond to locally generated cytokines and produce strong pro-inflammatory mediators. Conclusion Thus, there is clear evidence of intestinal inflammation in children with a mixed form of cystic fibrosis, which can negatively affect the patient's nutritional status, which in turn adversely affects pulmonary function and survival. The data obtained are the basis for optimizing therapy aimed at improving bowel function.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
