11. Monocyte and Neutrophil Inflammatory Responses to the Periodontopathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis

Duing bacteremia in healthy individuals or patients with chronic periodontitis, a number of oral bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis encounter inflammatory cells in the blood eg. platelets, neutrophils and monocytes.

12. Leukocytes and Coronary Artery Disease : Experimental and Clinical Studies
Abstract : Tissue factor (TF) is the initiator of the coagulation cascade. Monocytes do not normally express TF, but can be induced to do so by certain stimuli. Aberrant TF expression is important in the thrombotic complications of bacterial sepsis, certain malignancies and coronary artery disease (CAD). READ MORE

13. INITIATION OF EXPERIMENTAL ACUTE PANCREATITIS AND MODULATION OF INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE
Abstract : Heparan sulfate (HS), a substance common in the extracellular matrix on epithelial cells is present in the pancreas, lining the duct lumen. During pathological conditions, we propose that it can be shed from the ECM and bind to receptors on the cell surface, thus triggering an inflammatory response, which if excessive can cause acute pancreatitis (AP).
