Expression of CD14 and toll-like receptors 2 and 4 by milk neutrophils in bovine mammary glands infected with Corynebacterium bovis / Expressão de CD14 e dos receptores do tipo toll 2 e 4 por neutrófilos lácteos provenientes de glândulas infectadas por Corynebacterium bovis

This study evaluated the expression of CD14, toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 on the surface of milk neutrophils in bovine mammary glands infected with Corynebacterium bovis. Here, we used 23 culture-negative control quarters with no abnormal secretion on the strip cup test and milk somatic cell count lower than 1x105 cells/mL, and 14 C. bovis infected quarters. The identification of neutrophils, as well as, the percentage of neutrophils that expressed CD14, TLR2 and TLR4 were analyzed by flow cytometry using monoclonal antibodies. The present study encountered no significant difference in the percentages of milk neutrophils that expressed TLR2 and TLR4 or in the expression of TLR4 by milk neutrophils. Conversely, a lower median fluorescence intensity of TLR2 in milk neutrophils was observed in C. bovis-infected quarters. The percentage of neutrophils that expressed CD14 and the median fluorescence intensity of CD14 in milk neutrophils was also lower in C. bovis-infected quarters...

O presente estudo objetivou avaliar alterações na expressão de CD14, e dos receptores do tipo toll (TLR) 2 e 4 na superfície de neutrófilos lácteos provenientes de glândulas mamárias infectadas por Corynebacterium bovis. O presente estudo utilizou 23 quartos negativos no exame bacteriológico, sem alterações na prova de fundo escuro e com contagem automática de células somáticas menor que 1 x105 células/mL, e 14 quartos mamários infectados por C. bovis A identificação de neutrófilos, assim como a porcentagem de neutrófilos lácteos que expressaram CD14, TLR2 e 4 foram avaliadas por citometria de fluxo utilizando anticorpos monoclonais. A porcentagem de neutrófilos que expressaram TLR2 e TLR4 nos quartos mamários infectados por C. bovis não diferiu dos quartos mamários sadios, assim como na expressão de TLR4. No entanto, a intensidade de fluorescência do TLR2 na superfície dos neutrófilos foi menor nos quartos mamários infectados por C. bovis. A porcentagem de neutrófilos que expressaram CD14 e a intensidade de fluorescência da molécula de CD14 foi menor na superfície dos neutrófilos lácteos dos quartos infectados por C. bovis...

Effect of Ambroxol on Contents of PMN,TNF-?,IL-6 and IL-8 in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid after Closed Circuit Anesthesia in Infants / 医学研究杂志

Objective To investigate the effect of ambroxol administered before surgery on contents of PMN,TNF-?,IL-6 and IL-8 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid after closed circuit anesthesia in infants.Methods 40 infants who practiced selective orthopedics or abdominal operations were randomly divided into ambroxol group (group A) and control group (group B). Two days before operation,infants in group A and group B were administed ambroxol 0.3 mg/kg or 0.9 normal saline 10 ml through intravenous injection three times per day,respectively .The last single dose was administered before anesthesia induction.The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of intants were collected immediately after tracheal intubation(T1) and before tracheal extubation(T2),respectively.Interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were determined by enhancement solid-phase enzyme immunoassay action(EASIA),and TNF-? in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid by euzymelinked immunosorbent assay (EIA).The numbers of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were examined. The contents of PMN,TNF-?,IL-6 and IL-8 in two groups were compared .The time of analepsia and complications of respiratory tract were observed after operation.Results Compared with group A, the contents of PMN,TNF-?,IL-6 and IL-8 in BALF collected at T2 were significant higher in group B (P

Influences of Tidal Volume on Contents of PMN,TNF-?,IL-6 and IL-8 in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid After Closed Circuit Anesthesia in Infants / 医学研究杂志

Objective The author seeked the suitable tidal volume in order to decrease mechanical ventilation-induced lung injury during closed circuit anesthesia in infants.Methodes 50 infants who practiced selective orthopedics operation randomly divided into traditional mode(12~15ml/kg,groupT,n=25)and low tidal volumes(7~8ml/kg,groupL,n=25).The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of intants were collected immediately after tracheal intubation(T1)and before tracheal extubation,respectively.Interleukin-6 and interleukin-8 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were determined by enhancement solid-phase enzyme immunoassay action(EASIA),TNF-? in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were determined by euzymelinked immunosorbent assay(EIA).The numbers of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of intants were examined.The infants' SpO2,arterial blood pressure and PetCO2 were monitored continuously.Arterial blood gas was analysised.The time of analepsia and complications of lung were observed after operation.Results PaCO2、PetCO2 in groupL were higher than that in groupT,pH in groupL lower than that in groupT at 30 min,60 min,120 min after mechanical ventilation and before extubation,respectively.The contents of PMN,TNF-?,IL-6 and IL-8 in BALF collected at T2 more than that at T1 in groupT.The contents of PMN,TNF-?,IL-6 and IL-8 in BALF in groupL less than that in groupT at T2(P

The pulmonary inflammation and acute lung injury in endotoxin tolerant rats / 中国呼吸与危重监护杂志

Objective To investigate the endotoxemia initiated systemic and pulmonary inflammation and acute lung injury in endotoxin tolerant rats MethodsEndotoxi n tolerance (ET) models of SD rats were induced by four daily intraperitoneal in jections of 0 6 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 Escherichia coli LPS (serotype 055:B5).Normal control (NC) rats received intraperitoneal injections of the sa me volume saline On the fifth day,rats were injected with high dose of LPS (6 mg/kg) to induce endotoxemia and lung inflammation Blood,left bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and right lung tissue were collected before and 2,6,24,48 ,72 hours after the high dose injection of LPS (six rats for each time point) Cytological examination of blood and BALF and histopathological examination wer e performed Bromine methylphenol green was adopted for measurement of serum alb umin BALF albumin was measured by en z yme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and adjusted by the ratio to serum album in to evaluate the permeability of pulmonary microvascular Results The symptomes such as less activity,accelerated respiratory rate and weight loss in NC rats was not found in ET rats after the high dose injectio n of LPS BALF albumin as well as the ratio of BALF albumin to serum albumin in c reasedt 2 hours after injection of 6 mg/kg LPS and reached their zenith at 6 hou rs in NC rats,while no increase in ET rats In NC rats the blood white cell dif f erentiating shifted from lymphocyte to PMN,and PMN percentage of BALF also incr eased from (0 443?0 345)% to (8 000?2 896)% with its peak at 24 hours a fter the injection (P
