Journal ArticleDOI
Increased in vivo activation of neutrophils and complement in sickle cell disease
TL;DR: A role for the neutrophil and the complement system in the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease is suggested by a significant inverse correlation with the hemoglobin concentration and a significant positive correlation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human neutrophil lipocalin in fMLP-activated whole blood as a diagnostic means to distinguish between acute bacterial and viral infections
TL;DR: The clinical performance of HNL in fMLP-activated whole blood was superior to H NL in EDTA-plasma and similar to HNLIn serum, and the procedure can be adopted for point-of-care testing with response times of <15 min.
Journal Article
Human alveolar macrophages from smokers have an impaired capacity to secrete LTB4 but not other chemotactic factors.
TL;DR: Preliminary characterization of the chemotactic activity by gel filtration demonstrated at least four different Chemotactic factors, including LTB4, an arachidonic acid metabolite of the lipoxygenase pathway, which was determined in culture medium, in cell homogenate and in BAL-fluid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eosinophils and cellular injury: the Gordon phenomenon as a model.
TL;DR: Immunocytochemical localization of intraventricular injected ECP supports a selectivity through accumulation hypothesis and indicates furthermore that ECP has an immediate reactivity towards and possible toxic effect against nervous tissue in general.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum Ferritin during Inflammation A Study on Myocardial Infarction
TL;DR: The ferritin level in serum was investigated in 9 patients with myocardial infarction, all with a history of chest pain of less than 4 hours before admission, and an initial rise in serum iron levels was unexpectedly seen within 12 hours in 7 patients.
