The effect of temperature on biological living systems needs a few remarks. The human body temperature is made up of molecules and cell structures so as to function at optimum at 37°C. If the temperature changes a few degrees (plus or minus) from 37°C, then the effect is considerable but not lethal. This is because the system shows LC behavior. In other words, biological reactions can go on functioning (though with some restrictions) even if the temperature is 36°C or 38°C. 

The theoretical basis of CASTEP is the density functional theory (DFT) in the local density approximation (LDA) or gradient-corrected LDA version, as developed by Perdew and Wang (GGA).6-7 The DFT description of electron gas interactions is known to be sufficiently accurate in most cases, and it remains the only practical way of analyzing periodic systems. LDA is known to underestimate bond lengths in molecules and cell parameters in crystals, while GGA is typically more accurate to these optimized geometries. In the present calculations, we selected GGA, which is the default setting in CASTEP.

The initial chapters introduce to the general knowledge necessary to understand flie inflammatory process and the role played of free radical and oxidative stress. The interplay between inflammatory molecules and cell signalling is also dealt with in depth. A second part is dedicated to nitric oxide, redox regulation and antioxidant function in inflammation. The final chapters are devoted to diseases where inflammation plays the dominant role septic shock, end-stage renal disease, neurodegenerative, ischemic and lung diseases. 

In the present theory for the origin of information, existence of a cell unit that reproduces itself is required. Two levels of reproduction, both molecules and cells, are assumed here. Hence a cell with parasitic molecules cannot grow, and it is selected out. Relevance of this type of two-level reproduction to avoid molecular parasites has been discussed [8,30,31]. Here, relevance of cellular compartment to the origin of genetic information is more important.
