Altered leukocyte rheology in patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease.

چکیده
Erythrocyte and leukocyte suspensions were prepared from 28 patients with chronic cerebrovascular disease and 30 age- and concomitant disease-matched control subjects. Cell filterability was studied with the new St. George's filtrometer, which can discriminate between initial filtration rate as an erythrocyte parameter and filter clogging as a leukocyte parameter. Compared with control subjects, a significant increase of filter clogging was found in the patients, suggesting decreased deformability or increased adhesiveness of leukocytes or both in chronic cerebrovascular disease.

متن کاملFunction of Neutrophils in Different Phases of Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia
In chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), the mature granulocytes originate from a stem cell line harboring an abnormal chromosome, therefore it is possible that metabolic-functional abnormalities occur in the morphologically mature cells. In the present study, the phagocytic activity including intracellular killing, nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction, and phagocytosis were studied in 37 CML p...
