The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Prognostic Implications of Bronchoalveolar Fluid Analysis in Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia: An Observational Cohort Study

Egyptian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2022
Background Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most frequent infections with high mortality rates in intensive care units (ICUs) and the prediction of outcome is paramount in the decision-making process. Objective To assess the prognostic

Establishment of a chronic aspiration pneumonia mouse model using oropharyngeal aspiration of food suspension

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Four aspiration methods (UV, IN, IT, and OA) were compared, and OA was identified as the most effective delivery technique. A chronic aspiration pneumonia model was then established through repeated OA of food suspension or gastric contents. Integrated analyses, including micro‐CT, histopathology, cytokine profiling, and RNA sequencing, revealed ...

Development of a loop‐mediated isothermal amplification‐lateral flow dipstick (LAMP‐LFD) assay and on‐site rapid detection evaluation for Rodentibacter heylii and Rodentibacter pneumotropicus

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study established a closed‐tube LAMP‐LFD assay for detecting Rodentibacter heylii and Rodentibacter pneumotropicus. The method exhibited high sensitivity (detection limits of 10−5 ng/μL for R. heylii and 10−4 ng/μL for R. pneumotropicus), high specificity, reliable performance with clinical samples, and effective validation in experimental ...

Expression of complement-related membrane proteins on lymphocytes and alveolar macrophages in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid

Allergology International, 1998
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) can be separated into two groups: (i) that in which the causes are known; and (ii) that in which the etiologies have not been determined.
