Record 3 2010-04-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
CONT

The significance of mixed chimerism has been well studied in the later post-transplant period. By this stage, the immunological events giving rise to graft-versus-host disease, graft-versus-leukemia or graft rejection may be confused by inability to distinguish between mature T-cells infused with the graft and stem cell derived T-cells that are tolerant to host antigens.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Génétique
CONT

Un greffon hématopoïétique allogénique comprend des cellules souches capables de reconstituer, de façon durable une hématopoïèse complète. Il comprend aussi des cellules matures, immunocompétentes, susceptibles de reconnaître l'hôte comme étranger. Cette réactivité allogénique est responsable, d'une part, d'une complication de la greffe, la GvH (graft versus hôte) et d'autre part, d'effets bénéfiques, sur la prise du greffon et surtout d'une activité antitumorale, la GvL (graft versus leukemia).

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
  • Bones and Joints
  • Cancers and Oncology
DEF

The condition [or disease] that results when the immune cells of a transplant (usually of bone marrow) from a donor attack the tissues of the person receiving the transplant.

CONT

In 1955, Barnes and Loutit first described graft versus host disease(GVHD) in mice. Simonsen introduced the term graft-versus-host reaction in 1958 to describe the direction of the immunological damage caused by introduction of immunologically competent cells into an immunocompromised host. In 1966, Billingham proposed 3 conditions required for the development of GVHD, as follows :(1) the graft must contain immunologically competent cells,(2) the host must possess important transplant alloantigens that are lacking in the donor graft so that the host appears foreign to the graft, and(3) the host itself must be incapable of mounting an effective immunological reaction against the graft. According to the accepted definition, the immunologic assault itself and its consequences are referred to as GVHD.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
  • Os et articulations
  • Cancers et oncologie
CONT

La principale complication, en cas d'allogreffe, est la maladie du greffon contre l'hôte. [...] Il s'agit d'une réaction immunitaire des cellules du greffon contre les organes du receveur. Cette réaction peut être aiguë, dans les trois premiers mois suivant la greffe, ou chronique et constituer une vraie maladie.

OBS

Ne pas confondre avec : réaction du greffon contre l'hôte.

  • Nervous System
OBS

For the past 8 years, May 12 has been the International Awareness Day for Chronic Immunological and Neurological Diseases. These diseases include chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. May 12 was selected as the day to bring attention to these conditions since it is Florence Nightingale's birthday. Most people know her as the founder of modern nursing but few know that she spent most of the last half of her life confined to her home suffering from a disease similar to what we now call chronic fatigue syndrome.

  • Système nerveux
OBS

Le 12 mai est reconnu comme la Journée internationale de sensibilisation aux maladies immunologiques et neurologiques chroniques. Ces maladies comprennent le syndrome de fatigue chronique et la fibromyalgie. Le Journée du 12 mai est choisie pour attirer l'attention sur ces conditions parce que c'est la journée de l'anniversaire de Florence Nightingale. La plupart des gens la connaissent comme étant la fondatrice des sciences infirmières modernes, mais peu savent qu'elle a passé la plus grande partie de la deuxième moitié de sa vie confinée à la maison, souffrant d'une maladie semblable à ce que nous appelons maintenant le syndrome de fatigue chronique.

Subject field(s)
  • Injections, Tubing and Transfusions (Medicine)
  • Hormones
  • Reproduction (Medicine)
OBS

[The anti-pregnancy vaccine] works by vaccinating against the female pregnancy hormone HCG(human chorionic gonadotrophin) which is produced by the fertilized egg just after conception.... The term vaccination is a misnomer. Vaccines against disease work by stimulating and increasing the body's ability to defend itself against a specific germ.... Pregnancy, however, is not a disease. In effect, the anti-fertility "vaccine" mimics an immunological disorder...

Key term(s)
  • anti pregnancy vaccine
  • anti fertility vaccine
  • anti pregnancy hormone injection

French

Domaine(s)
  • Injections, tubages et transfusions (Médecine)
  • Hormones
  • Reproduction (Médecine)
DEF

Vaccin fabriqué par stimulation de la production d'anticorps neutralisant une hormone (HCG) [human chorionic gonadotropin : gonadotropine chorionique humaine] produite par le placenta dès les premiers jours de la conception et nécessaire au maintien de la grossesse.

OBS

Le terme «vaccin» est impropre dans ce contexte.

Key term(s)

CONT

Eosinophilic pneumonia. Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis is just one example of a number of disorders in which there is pulmonary disease in association with tissue and/or blood eosinophilia.... A number of immunological and other mechanisms are probably involved in these reactions. Where eosinophilic pneumonia is associated with parasite infestation, type I reactions are often suggested by a massive rise in total IgE, but in other cases(e. g. Loeffler's syndrome) the mechanism is obscure.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Poumons
CONT

Pneumonie à éosinophiles. L'aspergillose broncho-pulmonaire allergique n'est qu'un exemple des nombreuses affections où une pneumopathie est associée à une éosinophilie tissulaire et/ou sanguine. [...] Ces réactions font probablement intervenir plusieurs mécanismes, immunologiques et autres. Quand la pneumonie éosinophilique est associée à une infestation parasitaire, il existe souvent une élévation massive du taux d'IgE totales, [...]
