The tripeptide analog feG ameliorates severity of acute pancreatitis in a caerulein mouse model.
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality; however, there is no specific treatment for this disease. A novel salivary tripeptide analog, feG, reduces inflammation in several different animal models of inflammation. The aims of this study were to determine whether feG reduced the severity of AP and modifies the expression of pancreatic ICAM-1 mRNA during AP i...
متن کاملRopivacaine inhibits leukocyte rolling, adhesion and CD11b/CD18 expression.
Ropivacaine, a new local anesthetic, is currently being investigated for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, with promising results so far. The aim of this study was to examine anti-inflammatory properties of ropivacaine with regard to its effects on vascular permeability and inflammatory leukocyte behavior in vivo. The effects on leukocyte rolling, firm adhesion and vascular permeability were...
متن کاملNeutrophil Adhesion in Leukocyte Adhesion
We have previously reported a newly discovered congenital disorder of neutrophil adhesion, leukocyte adhesion deficiency syndrome type 2 (LAD II). The clinical manifestations of this syndrome are similar to those seen in the classic leukocyte adhesion deficiency syndrome, now designated type 1 (LAD I), but the two syndromes differ in the molecular basis of their adhesion defects. LAD I is cause...
متن کاملLeukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 1 Presenting as Leukemoid Reaction
The hallmarks of leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) are defects in the leukocyte adhesion process, marked leukocytosis and recurrent infections. These molecular and clinical manifestations result from an impaired step in the inflammatory process, namely, the emigration of leukocytes from the blood vessels to sites of infection, which requires adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelium. Over las...
متن کاملLeukocyte Adhesion: What's the Catch?
A recent study shows that the leukocyte adhesion molecules known as selectins form 'catch' bonds, the dissociation rate of which decreases with increasing applied force. The ability of selectins to switch between catch and slip bonds, where dissociation increases with force, can explain the shear threshold effect, in which leukocyte adhesion goes through a maximum with increasing shear rate.
