Impaired lymphocyte function in depressive illness.
Mood states and immunity may be related. To investigate the immune status of patients with primary depressive illness, we compared in-vitro lymphocytic responses to three different mitogens in 26 drug-free depressed patients and 20 normal controls of comparable age and sex. We observed a generalized and marked decrease in the lymphocyte mitogenic activity among the depressive group. This defect...
متن کاملImpaired subendocardial contractile myofiber function in asymptomatic aged humans, as detected using MRI.
With aging, structural and functional changes occur in the myocardium without obvious impairment of systolic left ventricular (LV) function. Transmural differences in myocardial vulnerability for these changes may result in increase of transmural inhomogeneity in contractile myofiber function. Subendocardial fibrosis and impairment of subendocardial perfusion due to hypertension might change th...

متن کامل[Impaired B lymphocyte function during open heart surgery].
Sequential in vitro lymphocyte function tests in 13 patients undergoing cardiac operation were performed to study B lymphocyte function following operation. Lymphocytes were stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA), pokeweed mitogen (PWM) and Staphylococcus aureus Cowan 1 (SAC). Mitogen responses were measured by 3H-labeled thymidine incorporation. The SAC responses were significantly depressed...
متن کاملImpaired defense of core temperature in aged humans during mild cold stress.
Aged humans often exhibit an impaired defense of core temperature during cold stress. However, research documenting this response has typically used small subject samples and strong cold stimuli. The purpose of this study was to determine the responses of young and older subjects, matched for anthropometric characteristics, during mild cold stress. Thirty-six young (YS; 23 +/- 1 years, range 18...
