BioMed Central | Full text | Radiation enteropathy and leucocyte-endothelial cell reactions in a refined small bowel ... Leucocyte responses (rolling and adhesion) were then analysed in ileal venules 2 – 48 hours after high dose irradiation, made possible by an inverted approach using intravital fluorescence microscopy. Leucocyte recruitment is a multi-step process, which includes leucocyte rolling, activation and firm adhesion to the endothelium [2]. Leucocyte rolling was determined by counting the number of leucocytes passing a reference point in the venule per 20 sec and is expressed as cells/min. www.biomedcentral.com /1471-2482/4/10   (4626 words)

Perfusion Line - Perfusion News   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26) In children, however, the clinical effects of leucocyte filtration of the residual heart-lung machine blood are unknown. Therefore, we measured postoperative leucocyte counts and arterial blood oxygenation in children undergoing congenital cardiac surgery in a randomized prospective study. We conclude that leucocyte filtration of the residual heart-lung machine blood reduced systemic leucocyte counts, but did not improve arterial blood oxygenation in children after congenital heart surgery. perfline.com /newseng/viewnews.cgi?id=1104924224   (252 words)

Leucocyte-depleted vs. buffy-coat-poor blood transfusions Patients were randomized to either traditional, buffy-coat-poor blood, or filtered, leucocyte depleted blood in the event of transfusion. These results are in accord with a previous study co-authored by one of the authors of this study (2) which found that colorectal surgery patients transfused with leucocyte-depleted blood had significantly fewer postoperative infections than those transfused with whole blood. If it turns out that certain conditions of storage negate the beneficial effects of leucocyte depletion, these conditions must be avoided to reap the potential benefits of this technique, which presumably extend to circumstances other than colorectal surgery. www.journalclub.org /vol1/a33.html   (1498 words)

Leucocyte - Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre et gratuite Les leucocytes ou globules blancs sont des cellules du système immunitaire contenues dans le sang et la lymphe. Les leucocytes ont pour rôle de défendre le corps contre les maladies et les corps étrangers. En effet, les leucocytes passent la majeure partie de leur temps hors du système circulatoire, et patrouillent dans le liquide interstitiel où se déroulent la plupart des luttes contre les agents pathogènes. fr.wikipedia.org /wiki/Leucocyte   (422 words)

Child Health Research Institute: Leucocyte Biology In particular, he is interested in characterizing the molecules of the leucocyte surface membrane, and seeking diagnostic and therapeutic applications of these molecules. Leucocyte surface molecules are important diagnostic and therapeutic targets in diseases ranging from leukaemia to immune deficiencies. While many leucocyte surface molecules have been identified over the last 30 years, we have estimated that we have identified only 10-20% of the molecules on the cell surface. www.chri.com.au /LeucocyteBiology.htm   (798 words)

Indian Pediatrics - Editorial Leucocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) disorders, LAD-1 and LAD-2 are rare diseases of leucocyte function with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance. LAD-1 results from a lack of leucocyte cell surface expression of B2 integrin molecules (CD 11 and CD 18) that are essential for leucocyte adhesion to endothelial cells and chemotaxis(1). Leucocyte adhesion deficiency is characterized by the inability of leucocytes, especially neutrophils, to emigrate from the blood stream towards sites of inflammation. www.indianpediatrics.net /oct2002/oct-963-966.htm   (1432 words)

INABIS '98 - Molecular Basis of Leucocyte Migration In Allergic Disease Leucocyte adhesion receptors comprise several gene families of membrane glycoproteins which are also involved in biological processes as diverse as wound healing, thrombogenesis, atherogenesis, embryogenesis and maintenance of tissue architecture. Current ideas about leucocyte emigration are based on the concept of a staged process with leucocytes first becoming loosely tethered to the venular endothelium under flow conditions, followed by cellular activation which in turns leads to firmer adhesion and transmigration. The major gene families of adhesion receptors involved in leucocyte adhesion are the Selectins and their counter-receptors, members of the Integrin family and members of the Immunoglobulin family. www.mcmaster.ca /inabis98/denburg/wardlaw0479/two.html   (4764 words)

Milk leucocyte populations in heifers free of udder infection. Milk leucocyte populations in heifers free of udder infection. It was suggested that different patterns of leucocyte population of the healthy gland are a significant factor in mastitis. In conclusion the patterns of leucocyte populations in milk together with the variance among cows should enable an analysis of the heritability of this trait and its correlation with udder health in a future study. www.aegis.com /aidsline/2000/jul/A0070935.html   (505 words)

[No title] Background: Leucocytes the mobile units of the protective system of the body, may circulate freely in the blood, adhere to the vascular endothelium in sites where blood flow is relatively slow and then once again re-enter the circulation in a process of continuous exchange. The pre exercise and post exercise total leucocyte counts of both the groups are given in tables 1 and 3, while tables 2 and 4 show the differences, percent variation and significance of these differences. By studying the effects of exercise on leucocyte count in two groups of subjects, who were exercised for different durations and intensities. www.ayubmed.edu.pk /JAMC/PAST/14-3/Farmanullah.htm   (1345 words)

BCSH Guidelines eBook There has been considerable interest in the removal of leucocytes from blood components, and this guideline is primarily intended to provide advice regarding the clinical indications for leucocyte-depleted red cell and platelet concentrates. Methods which may be used for counting residual leucocytes in leucocyte-depleted blood components are flow cytometry and large volume microscopic chambers, such as the Nageotte chamber ( Rebulla and Dzik 1994). leucocytes and only achieved by a much greater degree of leucocyte depletion, but even this may not be sufficient, as it is possible that recipient memory B cells may be activated by the HLA class I antigens present on platelets ( Claas et al. www.bcshguidelines.com /ebooks/ebook.asp?book=10005843&id=12   (7757 words)

Abstracts - International Transfer Factor Society When non-immune leucocyte populations are cultured with Inducer Factor they acquire the capacity to respond to specific antigen and inhibition of migration occurs. When immune leucocyte populations are cultured with Suppressor Factor their response to specific antigen is blocked and Inhibition of Migration is prevented. The cell-mediated immunity of seropositive patients to HSV-1/2 and/or CMV viruses was assessed using the leucocyte migration inhibition test (LMT) and lymphocyte stimulation test (LST) in presence of the corresponding antigens, and the frequency of positive tests before, during and after TF administration was studied. www.mcl.tulane.edu /departments/itfs/10ITFSABS.HTML   (7382 words)

Potential for Reduction in Morbidity and Cost with Total Leucocyte Control for Cardiac Surgery A discussion of TLC follows, including a description of the variety of leucocytes to which the cardiac surgery patient is exposed, the different types of adverse reactions each type causes, the cost of treating these reactions and the potential to accrue savings by controlling their frequency of occurrence with TLC. Then, by inference, leucocyte depletion of homologous blood products for patients requiring transfusion may be expected to lower significantly the postoperative infection rate and, in turn, the costs associated with the management of these complications. Not only may leucocyte depletion be expected to impact on the rare but extremely costly complication of mediastinitis, but the overall frequency of other postoperative infections may be expected to be reduced as well and with them the cost of providing care to the open-heart patient population as a whole. www.pall.com /34445_6460.asp   (3836 words)

Article #2256, Leucocyte Depletion During Cardiac Surgery: A Comparison of Different Filtration Strategies Leucocyte counts increased over time and oxygenation decreased in all groups, without significant differences between the groups. SEM demonstrated extensive protein deposits and damaged leucocytes in the deeper layers of the filters from Group I. This was not observed in the filters from Group III. However, our laboratory results suggest that leucocyte filtration at low flow and pressure conditions is associated with less leucocyte damage and less release of elastase. www.perfusion.com /cgi-bin/absolutenm/anmviewer.asp?a=2256&z=8   (200 words)

Changes in leucocyte and lymphocyte subsets during tuberculosis treatment The aim of our study was to investigate immune parameters during therapy and this report describes a systematic follow-up of leucocyte counts and lymphocyte subsets in TB patients for the entire 26-week treatment period. Furthermore, due to the fact that the identification of high-risk patients for slow response to chemotherapy would have important clinical implications, we analysed peripheral blood immunophenotypes as potential surrogate markers of early TB treatment response and applied a multivariate classification technique to identify fast and slow responders to treatment by immunophenotype at diagnosis. Differences between early response phenotypes were most prominent at diagnosis and the variable at diagnosis that were used for the analysis were the absolute numbers of leucocyte, lymphocyte and T cell subsets. www.mrc.ac.za /publications/immune.htm   (732 words)
