Aged mice are unable to mount an effective myeloid response to sepsis.
The elderly have increased morbidity and mortality following sepsis; however, the cause(s) remains unclear. We hypothesized that these poor outcomes are due in part to defects in innate immunity, rather than to an exaggerated early inflammatory response. Young (6-12 wk) or aged (20-24 mo) mice underwent polymicrobial sepsis, and subsequently, the aged mice had increased mortality and defective ...
متن کاملUse of manual stimulation for collection of semen from an atactic stallion unable to mount.
A 9-year-old atactic breeding stallion was trained to ejaculate, with only manual stimulation, while standing on the ground. Ejaculates obtained yielded fertile semen with morphologic and motility characteristics within the range for normal stallions. This method extended the breeding life of a stallion unable to mount a live or dummy mare or to ejaculate into an artificial vagina while standin...
متن کاملPlatelet membrane potential: unable to pull the plug on sepsis
In a recent issue of Critical Care, we read with interest the work of Gründler and colleagues [1] regarding platelet mitochondrial depolarization reflecting disease severity in patients with sepsis. It has been established that, regardless of the source of sepsis, microcirculatory dysfunction with increased permeability and increased reactive oxygen species is similar among pathogens and leads ...
متن کاملMicrobiome alterations are related to an imbalance of immune response and bacterial translocation in BDL-rats
Objective(s): Bacterial translocation in patients with cirrhosis is an important triggering factor for infections and mortality. In the bile duct ligation (BDL) model, crucial players of bacterial translocation are still unknown. This study aims to determine the interrelation between microbiome composition in the colon, mesenteric lymph nodes, and liver, as well as the...
متن کاملSWR/J mice are susceptible to alkylator-induced myeloid leukemia
Therapy-related acute myeloid leukemia (t-AML) is a late complication following chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Approximately 10% of AML cases are therapy related and the incidence is rising. Alkylator-associated t-AML has a latency of 5–7 years, is often preceded by a myelodysplastic phase (t-MDS) and is frequently associated with loss of material from chromosomes 5 and/or 7 in humans. ...
