Stroke risk factors prepare rat brainstem tissues for modified local Shwartzman reaction.

چکیده
Stroke risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, advanced age, and genetic predisposition to stroke were demonstrated to prepare rat brainstem tissues for a modified local Shwartzman reaction. A single intracisternal injection of endotoxin provoked the reaction, and affected rats manifested neurologic deficits accompanied by pathologic lesions. Brainstem infarcts developed in only a small proportion of rats without recognized risk factors after intracisternal injection of endotoxin. Thus, stroke risk factors, which are ordinarily regarded as operating through acceleration of atherosclerosis, may predispose to brain ischemia by local effects on brain microcirculation such as those thought to underlie preparation of a tissue for the local Shwartzman reaction.

Increased release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha into the cerebrospinal fluid and peripheral circulation of aged rats.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We earlier reported that risk factors for stroke prepare brain stem tissue for a modified Shwartzman reaction, including the development of ischemia and hemorrhage and the production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, after a provocative dose of lipopolysaccharide. In the present study, we sought to determine whether blood and central nervous system cells of rats with the st...

1. Agkistrodon piscivorus venom and E. coli endotoxin were shown to be immunologically distinct, and to differ in certain biologic properties: effects on immune response, body temperature, and circulating leukocyte count, and capacity to prepare for and provoke the local and generalized Shwartzman reaction. 2. Neither a single prior injection of venom nor the existence of hyperimmunity to letha...
متن کاملA Comparison of the Effects on the Shwartzman Phenomenon of Leukopenia Produced by Nitrogen Mustard and by Whole Body Irradiation
The effect of leukopenia on the susceptibility of rabbits to the localized Shwartzman reaction was studied in those receiving whole body irradiation and nitrogen mustard respectively. Of animals receiving nitrogen mustard in which the total polymorphonuclear leukocyte count was less than 100 cells/c.mm. only 17 per cent developed positive local Shwartzman reactions whereas 75 per cent of irradi...

When bacterial endotoxins are injected intravenously into a rabbit a profound leucopenia usually develops (1). This leucopenia, primarily a granulocytopenia, is maximal within 1 to 2 hours, and 6 or 7 hours after the intravenous injection, has usually been replaced by a leucocytosis. At the time of the leucopenia, the pulmonary alveolar capillaries are found engorged with large numbers of leuco...
