This study investigated local alterations in neutrophil activation and deformability after intermittent claudication. In 17 patients with one-sided peripheral arterial occlusive disease, neutrophil count, proportion of activated neutrophils (by nitro blue tetrazolium test), and neutrophil filterability as a measure of passive deformability were assessed in the femoral arterial and venous blood ...

Specific arrest of neutrophils in venules is central to their rapid accumulation during local inflammatory responses. Initial neutrophil rolling on endothelium is mediated by leukocyte L-selectin and the inducible vascular adhesion proteins P- and E-selectin. This rolling is a prerequisite for endothelial-dependent neutrophil arrest. Here we describe rolling of neutrophils on the surface of pre...

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the usefulness systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) in diagnosis acute appendicitis (AA) children 
 Material and Method: This done retrospectively, two groups were formed as AA control group. group divided into subgroups nonperforated perforated appendicitis. compared for age, sex, WBC, neutrophil, lymphocyte platelet count, neutrophil-to-lym...

background early predictive biomarkers for acute kidney injury (aki) such as neutrophil elatinase-associated lipocalin (ngal) could identify patients who may benefit from early initiation of treatment. objectives we aimed to obtain a cut off point for aki prediction by urine ngal in kidney transplantation. patients and methods in a prospective cohort study, 64 adult who underwent kidney transpl...

background: blood neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (nlr) and mean platelet volume (mpv) both have been used as a simple marker of inflammation in many disorders. here, we aimed to investigate the relationship between nlr, mpv, and familial mediterranean fever (fmf). materials and methods: in this retrospective study, the fi les of fmf patients in pediatric rheumatology outpatient clinic were revi...
