Dakin solution alters macrophage viability and function.
BACKGROUND Macrophages are important in wound defense and healing. Dakin's solution (DS), buffered sodium hypochlorite, has been used since World War I as a topical antimicrobial for wound care. DS has been shown to be toxic to host cells, but effects on immune cells are not well documented. MATERIALS AND METHODS DS at 0.5%, 0.125%, and ten-fold serial dilutions from 0.25%-0.00025% were evalu...
متن کاملPantoprazole Decreases Cell Viability and Function of Human Osteoclasts In Vitro
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are commonly prescribed drugs that decrease stomach acidity and are thus often used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease and as a preventative agent for the adverse effects of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on the stomach mucosa. In recently published literature, an association between proton pump inhibitor administration and increased fracture risk has b...
متن کاملSmoking decreases alveolar macrophage function during anesthesia and surgery.
BACKGROUND Smoking changes numerous alveolar macrophage functions and is one of the most important risk factors for postoperative pulmonary complications. The current study tested the hypothesis that smoking impairs antimicrobial and proinflammatory responses in alveolar macrophages during anesthesia and surgery. METHOD The authors studied 30 smoking and 30 nonsmoking patients during propofol...
متن کاملLong-Term IGF-I Exposure Decreases Autophagy and Cell Viability
A reduction in IGF-I signaling has been found to increase lifespan in multiple organisms despite the fact that IGF-I is a trophic factor for many cell types and has been found to have protective effects against multiple forms of damage in acute settings. The increase in longevity seen in response to reduced IGF-I signaling suggests that there may be differences between the acute and chronic imp...
متن کاملPoly-I:C Decreases Dendritic Cell Viability Independent of PKR Activation
Vaccination with tumor-antigen pulsed, monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) has emerged as a promising strategy in cancer immunotherapy. The standard DC maturation cocktail consists of a combination of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)/interleukin (IL)-1β/IL-6 and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) for generation of standard DCs (sDCs). In order to improve IL-12p70 production and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (C...
