Treatment with DNases rescues hidden neutrophil elastase from aggregated NETs

Journal of Leukocyte Biology, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 1359-1366, December 2019., 2019
DNase 1 releases hidden neutrophil elastase activity from aggNETs. Abstract The release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) is one of the weapons neutrophils have in their armory. NETs consist of extracellular chromatin fibers decorated with a plethora of cytoplasmic and granular proteins, such as the antimicrobial serine protease neutrophil ...

iNOS Activity Modulates Inflammation, Angiogenesis, and Tissue Fibrosis in Polyether‐Polyurethane Synthetic Implants

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
There is considerable interest in implantation techniques and scaffolds for tissue engineering and, for safety and biocompatibility reasons, inflammation, angiogenesis, and fibrosis need to be determined. The contribution of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the regulation of the foreign body reaction induced by subcutaneous implantation of a ...

Nasal Potential Difference in Cystic Fibrosis considering Severe CFTR Mutations

Disease Markers, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The gold standard for diagnosing cystic fibrosis (CF) is a sweat chloride value above 60 mEq/L. However, this historical and important tool has limitations; other techniques should be studied, including the nasal potential difference (NPD) test. CFTR gene sequencing can identify CFTR mutations, but this method is time‐consuming and too expensive to be ...

Hypophosphatemia as Unusual Cause of ARDS in Cushing’s Syndrome Secondary to Ectopic CRH Production. A Case Report

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 8, Issue 1, Page 138-144, 2008., 2008
Hypophosphatemia is an unusual cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We describe a hypophosphatemia‐related ARDS case report of a 50‐year‐old woman with ACTH dependent Cushing′s syndrome secondary to ectopic CRH production. The patient clinically showed hypotension tachypnea and increasing dyspnea.

Cryoablation for Small Renal Masses

Advances in Urology, Volume 2008, Issue 1, 2008., 2008
Advances in imaging techniques (CT and MRI) and widespread use of imaging especially ultrasound scanning have resulted in a dramatic increase in the detection of small renal masses. While open partial nephrectomy is still the reference standard for the management of these small renal masses, its associated morbidity has encouraged clinicians to exploit

Lymphocytes Apoptosis in Patients with Acute Exacerbation of Asthma

Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 8, Issue 4-5, Page 237-243, 1999., 1999
Asthma is characterized by airway inflammation, which can be now assessed by the analysis of induced sputum . Ten patients with asthma were investigated during acute exacerbation for the quantification of apoptosis, for Bcl‐2 and Fas expression, in induced sputum lymphocytes. They were compared to 12 patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (
