ABSTRACT
L-Selectin (SELL) linked with innate immune mechanism involved in neutrophil migration through endothelium to the site of inflammation. Early recruitment of neutrophils at the site of infection is essential to counteract infection at the earliest in conditions like sub-clinical mastitis (SCM). The present study was framed to evaluate the expression pattern of SELL in naturally occurring SCM in crossbred animals using real time PCR technique. Analysis of data on total leukocyte count indicated leucocytosis condition in SCM affected crossbred cows. Relative expression of SELL on peripheral blood leukocytes revealed a significant 3.16 folds down regulation in SCM affected cows when compared with healthy crossbred cows (P<0.05). The possible reason for leukocytosis in SCM animals might be due to down regulation of SELL on leukocytes reducing their ability to transmigrate through blood vessel to infection site. The result of present study revealed a definite role of SELL in SCM which could be explored for therapeutic aspects in near future
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship between optical coherence tomography (OCT) characteristics and peripheral blood leukocyte count in patients with acute myocardial infarction(AMI). Methods A total of 33 patients with AMI hospitalized in Fuwai Hospital for primary percutaneous coronary intervention were consecutively enrolled,and underwent intracoronary OCT procedures after manual aspiration of coronary thrombus. Demographic data, risk factors, procedural and OCT data, past medical history and perioperative laboratory findings were collected in all patients. Results The lymphocyte count,monocyte count and basophil count were significantly higher in the patients with fibrous cap thickness ≥ 65 μm than in those patients with fibrous cap thickness ≤ 65 μm. Patients presenting with cholesterol crystallization had lower eosinophil count than those patients with crystallization-free [(0.04±0.06)×109/L vs.(0.10±0.09) ×109/L,P =0.028]. In addition,the former had significantly higher to neutrophil lymphocyte ratio than the latter [(8.35±6.13)vs.(4.97±2.01), P =0.020]. Higher monocyte count was found in the patients with calcified plaque (P <0.05). Platelet to lymphocyte ratio was significantly increased in the patients with macrophage infiltration [(165.72±85.93)vs.(113.47±19.13),P <0.05]. The leukocyte count,neutrophil count and monocyte count showed the treat of elevation as the number of OCT characteristics increased,but only the elevation of monocyte count had statistical significant level (P = 0.014). Conclusions Peripheral blood leukocyte count seems to be associated with OCT characteristics of plaque rupture in patients with acute myocardial infarction,suggesting the potential role of inflammation in plaque rupture.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study neutral particle particle(NEUT-X)change in the solid tumor patients with chemotherapy by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF).Methods Chose that 52 cases of cancer chemotherapy with G-CSF(study group),32 cases of cancer chemotherapy patients without G-CSF(study control group)and 50 cases of healthy(healthy control group).The automatic hematology analyzer Sysmex XE-2100 were been examined the peripheral blood routine and collected the data which wes the morphological parameters of peripheral white blood cell.The changes of neutrophil N-X pa-rameters during chemotherapy were analyzed,and the clinical infection fever rates of three groups were collected to reveal the relationship between leukocyte morphological parameters and body resistance.Results In the study group,study control group and healthy control group,the NEUT-X was 1 324(890.2,1 358.0),1 440(1 397.3,1 466.3)and 1 329(1 295.1, 1 359.4),and the difference was statistically significant between the three groups(F=10.778,P=0.002).In study group, the count of WBC before and after G-CSF was 0.99(0.22,1.75)×109/L and 7.53(1.00,14.05)×109/L respitively and there was the significant difference(Z=-2.395,P=0.005).In study group patients the NEUT-X was 1 382(1 323.6,1 440.4)and 1 324(890.2,1 358.0)respectively and there was a significant difference(Z=-2.832,P=0.004).Between the study group and the study control group,there were 23/52 cases and 4/32 cases infection in patients with fever case(Z=9.14,P=0.002).Conclusion By G-CSF the leukocyte counts increased in patients with chemotherapy,and reduced neu-trophil NEUT-X parameters,and the infection rate was higher than the non G-CSF patients.The neutrophil granularity will be useful for evaluating of patients with chemotherapy for solid tumor immunity.
