This study compared the serum levels of IL-6, TNF-and IFN-, in children under 1 year of age with and without dengue. Sera were collected from a total of 41 children living in the Department of Antioquia, Colombia (27 patients with dengue and 14 controls). The results showed higher cytokine levels in children with dengue than without dengue, with statistically significant differences for IL-6 and IFN-. No statistically significant differences were found between clinical forms, although IL-6 and IFN-levels were higher in dengue fever cases than in dengue hemorrhagic fever cases. On the other hand, TNF-levels were higher in dengue hemorrhagic fever than in dengue fever. The levels of IL-6 and TNF-were higher in secondary infection than in primary infection, although IFN-levels were higher in primary infection. These results suggest that IL-6, TNF-and IFN-are involved in dengue infection independently of the clinical form.
The calcium silicate-based sealer with continuous wave of condensation was more effective in artificial filling lateral canals than the single-point technique. The epoxy resin-based sealer with both filling techniques was effective in artificial filling lateral canals.
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.
