CXCR1/CXCR2 Antagonism Is Effective in Pulmonary Defense against Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection
Klebsiella pneumoniae-associated pathology is largely mediated by neutrophilic inflammation. In this study, we administered Klebsiella pneumoniae to experimental guinea pig groups and the ELR-CXC chemokine antagonist CXCL8(3-72), ceftazidime, and dexamethasone to different groups, respectively. After 24 h, we assessed the animal's pulmonary inflammatory levels, including gross histopathology, a...
متن کاملDual Hypocretin Receptor Antagonism Is More Effective for Sleep Promotion than Antagonism of Either Receptor Alone
The hypocretin (orexin) system is involved in sleep/wake regulation, and antagonists of both hypocretin receptor type 1 (HCRTR1) and/or HCRTR2 are considered to be potential hypnotic medications. It is currently unclear whether blockade of either or both receptors is more effective for promoting sleep with minimal side effects. Accordingly, we compared the properties of selective HCRTR1 (SB-408...

Many surveys have been undertaken to evaluate the physiologic function and positive effects of yoga in physical, mental and social health. Methods: This semi-experimental study was conducted ...
متن کاملHyperleptinemia is associated with impaired pulmonary host defense.
We have previously reported that obesity attenuates pulmonary inflammation in both patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and in mouse models of the disease. We hypothesized that obesity-associated hyperleptinemia, and not body mass per se, drives attenuation of the pulmonary inflammatory response and that this e_ect could also impair the host response to pneumonia. We examine...
متن کاملPulmonary host defense mechanisms.
T he major function of the respiratory system is to procure oxygen from the external environment and to eliminate carbon dioxide from the body at rates required by tissue metabolism. Unfortunately, ambient inspired air contains not only oxygen which is vital to survival, but also noxious gases and a multitude of particulates, including viable microorganisms, which the lungs must exclude to main...
