Administration of both glycosylated and non-glycosylated recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF) induces an immediate transient granulocytopenia of 1-3 hours' duration. In order to explore this phenomenon, granulocytes were labelled with 111Indium and the effect
The adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) frequently occurs after sepsis and major trauma. Since both sepsis and trauma may cause activation of the complement system, we have infused rabbits with complement-activated plasma (AP) and have studied the effects on leukocyte counts, respiratory
Intracellular metabolite glutathione, existing in either its reduced (GSH) or oxidized states, is crucial for the protection of any cell against an oxidative stress or injury. Significant depletion of intracellular levels of GSH predisposes cells to an oxidative injury. We have investigated the
We evaluated the role of sulfidopeptide leukotrienes as mediators of endotoxin-induced respiratory failure in pigs. Escherichia coli endotoxin (055-B5) was infused intravenously into anesthetized 10- to 14-wk-old pigs at 5 micrograms/kg the 1st h followed by 2 micrograms.kg-1.h-1 for 3 h in the
OBJECTIVE
To study the efficiency of polychemotherapy (PCT) for hemoblastoses in acute respiratory failure (ARP).
METHODS
The case histories of 63 hemoblastosis patients with ARF who received PCT were examined. The patients were divided into 3 groups: 1) 40 patients with acute leukemia (AL); 2) 15
CI-980 is a synthetic mitotic inhibitor that binds to tubulin at the colchicine site, inhibiting the polymerization of microtubules and arresting cellular division in metaphase. Myelosuppression and neurotoxicity were dose-limiting in phase I studies. Sixteen patients with stage III and IV
Acinetobacter calcoaceticus var anitratus, a nonfermentative grampnegative bacillus, has been infrequently reported as a cause of community-acquired pneumonia. In this paper we describe the course of six recent patients with community-acquired, bacteremic pneumonia due to this organism and review
OBJECTIVE
To study levels of hepsidine (Hp), hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha), erythropoietin (EP) and ferritin in patients with acute leukemia (AL), effects of protein fractions of homogenate of blastic cells (BC) on regulatory proteins studied.
METHODS
Depending on leukocyte count in
Background: The outbreak of a novel coronavirus since December 2019, became an emergency of major international concern. As of June 21, 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has caused 8,769,844 confirmed infections with 463,745 fatal cases
