Abstract
IL-36 is another family member of IL-1 and induces the production of proinflammatory cytokines and activates MAPK and NFκB pathways. IL-36 is a common mediator of innate and adaptive immune response and is inhibited by IL-36 receptor antagonist (RA). IL-36RA acts on IL-36 receptor ligand which exerts proinflammatory effect in vivo and in vitro. IL-38 binds to IL-36 receptor as does IL-36RA and has similar biological effects on immune cells. IL-38 is also a member of IL-1 cytokine and shares some characteristics of IL-1RA, binding the same IL-1 receptor type I. IL-38 plays a role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, exerting protective effect in some autoimmune diseases. Both IL-38 and IL-36RA have an anti-inflammatory biological effect, however in some cases have contrary effects.

Abstract
There is much evidence that neuropeptide substance P is involved in neurogenic inflammation and is an important neurotransmitter and neurmodulator compound. In addition, substance P plays an important role in inflammation and immunity. Macrophages can be activated by substance P which provokes the release of inflammatory compounds such as interleukins, chemokines and growth factors. Substance P is involved in the mechanism of pain through the trigeminal nerve which runs through the head, temporal and sinus cavity. Substance P also activates mast cells to release inflammatory mediators such as arachindonic acid compound, cytokines/chemokines and histamine. The release of these chemical mediators is crucial for inflammatory response. Among these mediators there are prostoglandins and leukotrines. Here we review the impact of substance P on inflammatory compounds.

Abstract
It has been reported that high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides are associated with increased risk of developing atherosclerosis and shorter life. In fact, vascular endothelial dysfunction occurs during the human aging process. Accumulation of lipids in vascular endothelium activates leukocytes to produce cytokines and chemokines which recruit macrophages. On the other hand, macrophages augment inflammatory response and secrete vascular endothelial growth factor, a key cytokine that mediates angiogenesis and inflammatory response. In addition, hyperlipidaemia is one of the main risk factors for aging, hypertension and diabetes. Here, we review the interrelationship between endothelial cells, high level of cholesterol, and aging.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the resting energy expenditure in different macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) genotypes and to identify the in vitro effects of Alpinia officinarum Hance extract (AOHE) on MIF expression in obese and nonobese persons. METHODS In the fasting state, obese and nonobese persons were assessed for the measurement of resting energy expenditure rate (REE) by indirect calorimetry. We compared it with the expected amount ([REE measured by indirect calorimetry / predicted REE according to Harris Benedict equations] x 100). Participants were classified into those with normal REE (≥100) vs those with impaired REE (<100). Body composition was analyzed. Real-time polymerase chain reaction was performed using specific primer pairs for MIF messenger RNA, and β-actin was used as the internal control. RESULTS The study included 69 obese and 103 non-obese participants. The proportions of MIF genotypes were slightly different in obese and nonobese participants. However, the proportions of MIF genotypes were significantly different in participants with normal REE and those with low REE. The MIF gene was highly expressed in the obese group compared with MIF expression in the nonobese group. Body fat mass and MIF expression were higher in participants with the GG genotype than in the other genotype groups. MIF expression was inversely associated with REE in both groups (r = -0.36, P = .04). After treatment of peripheral blood mononuclear cells with AOHE, MIF expression differed according to MIF genotype. CONCLUSIONS Our results indicate that AOHE is a major modulator of MIF-dependent pathologic conditions in obesity and are consistent with mounting evidence that defines a regulating role for MIF in cytokine production in an inflammatory state in in vitro studies.

Abstract
Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used as implant materials due to their excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties. The aim of this work is to compare five different titanium layers in order to investigate which one had a greater osteoconductive power using Human Osteoblasts (HObs) culture for seven days on these surfaces. The expression levels of some bone-related genes (ALPL, COL1A1, COL3A1, SPP1, RUNX2 and SPARC) were analyzed using real time Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (real time RT-PCR). Results obtained in this study demonstrate that titanium disks can lead to osteoblast differentiation and extracellular matrix deposition and mineralization by the activation of different osteoblast genes in relation to the specific type of surface treatment.

Abstract
Nowadays, research on orthopedic and dental implants is focused on titanium alloys due to their appropriated mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in the body environment. Another important aspect to be investigated is their surface topography, which is very important to osseointegration. The aim of this study was to assess dental pulp stem cells response to different titanium surface topography modified. Mesenchymal stem cell marker ENG was significantly decreased in stem cells cultivated in modified titanium surface respect to machined titanium surface, indicating the differentiation effect of this biomaterial on stem cells. The obtained results can be relevant to better understand the molecular mechanism of bone regeneration and as a model for comparing other materials with similar clinical effects.

Abstract
Immunological and biochemical reactions associated with inflammation are elicited in response to a physical or immunological challenge. Early in inflammation there is mobilization and infiltration of neutrophils, mast cells and macrophages to the site of inflammation. These cells release pro-inflammatory compounds icluding cytokines, vasoactive peptides (eg., histamine), and eicosanoids. The release of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) and tryptase induced by anti-IgE, A23187 and compound 48/80 were studied using in vitro a good and valid model of human cord blood-derived mast cells (HCBDMC). Tryptase is a mast cell product and enhances vasopermeability with anticoagulant activities. In this study we measure the release of PGD2 and tryptase on mast cells activate by anti-IgE, calcium ionophore A23187, polybasic compound 48/80 (an agent containing a cationic region adjacent to a hydrophobic moiety, which works by activating G proteins) and IL-18. The generation of PGD2 was measured by radioimmunoassay. Release of PGD2 was detectable (after 12 h) following challenge with anti-IgE, A23187 and compound 48/80. Our data show that mature HCBDMC produce proinflammatory PGD2 following triggering with anti-IgE and with IgE-independent agonists, such as calcium ionophore A23187 and polybasic compound 48/80, while IL-18 was unable to stimulate the release of PGD2 or tryptase on HCBDMC. Although a great deal has been learned about the mediators produced by mast cells, the ultimate biologic function(s) of mast cells remains a mystery.

Abstract
Cytokines such as interleukins, chemokines and interferons are immunomodulating and inflammatory agents, characterized by considerable redundancy, in that many cytokines appear to share similar functions. Virtually all nucleated cells, but especially epithelial cells and macrophages, are potent producers of cytokines. The objective of this study is to review the detailed mechanism of action and the biological profiles of IL-37, the newest anti-inflammatory cytokine. This review focuses on IL-37, a key cytokine in regulating inflammatory responses, mainly by inhibiting the expression, production and function of proinflammatory cytokines: IL-1 family pro-inflammatory effects are markedly suppressed by IL-37.
