Ketosis is a nutritional metabolic disease in dairy cows, and researches indicated that ketonic cows always accompany reproductive problems. When ketosis occurs, the levels of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA) in the ...

Simvastatin reduces endotoxin-induced acute lung injury by decreasing neutrophil recruitment and radical formation. [PDF]
Treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) remains an unsolved problem in intensive care medicine. As simvastatin exerts protective effects in inflammatory diseases we explored its effects on development of ALI and due to the importance of neutrophils in ALI ...

Inflammatory markers: An Overview
Inflammation is the body’s innate response to injury or insult, including infection, trauma, surgery, burns, and cancer. Certain proteins are released into the bloodstream during inflammation; if their concentrations increase or decrease by at least 25%,

Islets of Langerhans Are Protected from Inflammatory Cell Recruitment during Reperfusion of Rat Pancreas Grafts [PDF]
Background: Ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury plays a pivotal role in the development of graft pancreatitis, with ischemia time representing one of its crucial factors.

Inflammatory Stress Effects on Health and Function After Spinal Cord Injury
Injury to the spinal cord produces immediate, adaptive inflammatory responses that can exacerbate the initial injury and lead to secondary damage. Thus far, researchers and clinicians have focused on modulating acute inflammation to preserve sensorimotor

Leukocyte sequestration in pulmonary microvessels and lung injury following systemic complement activation in rabbits [PDF]
Inflammatory reactions are associated with sequestration of leukocytes in the lung. Complement activation leads to accumulation of leukocytes in alveolar septa and alveoli, to lung edema and hemorrhage.

Downregulation of Mcl-1 has anti-inflammatory pro-resolution effects and enhances bacterial clearance from the lung [PDF]
Phagocytes not only coordinate acute inflammation and host defense at mucosal sites, but also contribute to tissue damage. Respiratory infection causes a globally significant disease burden and frequently progresses to acute respiratory distress syndrome,

Regulation of inflammatory cytokines for spinal cord injury recovery [PDF]
Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most destructive traumatic diseases in human beings. The balance of inflammation in the microenvironment is crucial to the repair process of spinal cord injury.

High tidal volume ventilation is not deleterious in infant rats exposed to severe hemorrhage [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Both high tidal volume (VT) ventilation and hemorrhage induce acute lung injury in adult rodents. It is not known whether injurious ventilation augments lung injury in infant rats exposed to severe hemorrhage.
