Prophylactic granulocyte support in experimental septicemia.
The purpose of this study was to determine the value of prophylactic granulocyte transfusions in preventing death from sepsis. An intravenous dose of 10(9) Escherichia coli was lethal when given to granulocytopenic rats 6 days following irradiation with 750 rads. Only one of 22 irradiated animals survived the septicemia. Although normal (nonirradiated) animals experienced a transient leukopenia...
متن کاملAlloimmunization following prophylactic granulocyte transfusion.
Nineteen noninfected adults receiving initial induction chemotherapy for acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) were randomized to receive either prophylactic granulocyte transfusion or platelet transfusion alone on an alternate-day schedule. An average of 11 granulocyte transfusions (range 3--19) were administered/patient with a mean dose of 11.5 X 10(9) granulocytes/transfusion. The groups were...
متن کاملGranulocyte transfusion therapy of experimental Pseudomonas septicemia: study of cell dose and collection technique.
To determine the contributions of cell dose and collection technique to the success of granulocyte transfusion therapy, we developed a canine model of granulocytopenia with gram-negative septicemia. Beagles were made granulocytopenic with a single intravenous (i.v.) injection of cyclophosphamide (40 mg/kg); 5 days later, when all animals were granulocytopenic, graded doses of Pseudomonas aerugi...
متن کاملBlood Chemical Changes in Experimental Streptococcus Septicemia
The following changes have been found to occur in rabbits given fatal intravenous doses of Streptococcus hemolyticus: The blood sugar concentration drops at a constant rate throughout the disease, but does not reach a condition of hypoglycemia. Glycogen is present in the liver at death. The CO(2) capacity is lowered markedly at first, then returns to a somewhat higher level, at which it continu...
متن کاملModels support prophylactic cranial irradiation.
In this issue of the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Lee et al present a rather unique and useful statistical interpretation of the waxing question of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) for patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). The concept of PCI for SCLC has its origins in the comparison of the behavior of this disease with childhood leukemia, a disease that is essentially systemic in...
