Background: Burns are commonly caused by thermal injuries that often encountered in everyday life. may cause tissue damage and infection. Melatonin, a hormone acts as an antioxidant anti-inflammatory, can be used supportive therapy patients with burns preventing excess damage, decreasing inflammatory response, extreme leukocyte increase. The study aims to investigate the effects of melatonin su...

The purpose of the study was to substantiate effectiveness local combined use miliacil and EHF-therapy in complex treatment purulent wounds lower extremities patients with diabetes mellitus its effect on morphological functional changes tissue defects. Our studies included 96 extremities, localized thigh or leg against background mellitus. In 48 main group, were used wounds, control group only ...

In sickle cell disease, inflammatory activation of vascular endothelium and increased leukocyte-endothelium interaction may play an important role in the occurrence of vasoocclusion. In sickle mouse models, inflammatory stimuli (e.g., hypoxia-reoxygenation and cytokines) result in increased leukocyte recruitment and can initiate vasoocclusion, suggesting that anti-inflammatory therapy could be ...

Lipoxins (Lxs) and aspirin-triggered epi-Lxs (15-epi-LxA(4)) act through the ALX/FPRL1 receptor to block leukocyte trafficking, dampen cytokine/chemokine synthesis, and enhance phagocytic clearance of apoptotic leukocytes-key requisites for inflammatory resolution. Although studies using primarily inbred rodents have highlighted resolution as an active event, little is known about the role reso...

BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation is the main curative therapy for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia who do not respond to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. It has been proposed that non-human leukocyte antigen gene polymorphisms influence outcome after hematopoietic cell transplantation and could be used alongside traditional patient-donor and transplant characteristics t...

E ARLIER OBSERVATIONS of elevated blood and urine histamine levels in myeloproliferative disorders1’2 have recently been confirmed and extended in this laboratory using a sensitive and specific spectrophotofluorometric assay.3 Whole blood and urine histamine content was demonstrated to be increased in uncontrolled polycythemia vera, “spent” polycythemia, and myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasi...

Infusion of fish oil-based (n-3) lipids may influence leukocyte function and plasma lipids in critical care patients. Twenty-one patients with sepsis requiring parenteral nutrition were randomized to receive an n-3 lipid emulsion rich in eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid or a conventional (n-6) lipid emulsion (index fatty acid: arachidonic acid) for 5 days. The impact on plasma-fre...

background and purpose: an important factor involved in infertility is reactive oxygen species (ros). ros can damage sperm dna, and involve lipid per-oxidation. ros elevation is under the influence of leukocyte activation. the objective of this study was to evaluate the level of ros as well as leukocyte, in normozoospermic (no) and ologoasthenoteratozoospermic (oat) ejaculates. materials and me...
