ABSTRACT
Cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) often result systemic inflammatory response syndrome.In addition to lipid lowing effects,statins appears to exhibit pleiotropic effects such as antiinflammatory properties,improvement of endothelial dysfunction and reduction of ischemia-reperfusion injury.In this review,the author summarized advances in these respects.
ABSTRACT
Chlamydia pneumoniae(Cpn) is one of the most common pathogens causing human respiratory tract infection.They cause acute respiratory tract infection,atherosclerosis and many other diseases. Cpn infection often recur or remain persistent,which may induce Th1-type response.At the same time,antibody-mediated immune and Toll like receptor play an auxiliary role.In this review,the author summarized advances in the immune response to Chlamydia pneumoniae infection.
ABSTRACT
Objective: Chlamydia pneumoniae is a kind of common pathogenic bacteria in respiratory passage which cause persistent and chronic infection cell mediated immunity results mainly followiny the infection.The infection kinetics and local in vitro-restimulated cell mediated immunity(CMI) responses in the lungs and spleens of Icr mice during Chlamydia pneumoniae(Cpn) primary infection and reinfection will be analyzed in this article.Methods: Icr mice were inoculated intranasally with 105 IFU of Cpn(PT group).The same dose was given in the same way as rechallenge 4 weeks after the primary challenge(ST group).Control groups were inoculated with 0.05 ml PBS.The mice were sacrificed at predetermined days,and the pulmonary mononuclear cells and splenic lymphocytes were isolated and stimulated with Cpn in vitro for 3 days.The proliferative response was measured by MTT;IL-4,IL-10 and IFN-? were detected by ELISA.Results: The PT group showed a weak proliferative response and no secretion of IFN-? in the lungs after Cpn stimulation,while the ST group presented a reinfection characterized by IFN-? production both in the lungs and in the spleens(P
