introduction: various neuroregenerative procedures have been recently employed along with neurorehabilitation programs to promote neurological function after spinal cord injury (sci), and recently most of them have focused on the acute stage of spinal cord injury. in this report, we present a case of acute sci treated with neuroprotective treatments in conjunction with conventional rehabilitati...

Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. Interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/CXCR4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, Lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...

Effect of Recombinant Human Granulocyte Colony–Stimulating Factor for Patients With COVID-19 and Lymphopenia

hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (hspcs) which give rise to different blood cell types are present within the bone marrow microenvironment, especially in flat bones such as skull, vertebrae, pelvis and chest. interacting factors such as stromal derived factor-1/cxcr4, very late antigen-4/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1, lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/ intercellular adhesion molec...

Dendritic cell (DC) differentiation from human CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) can be triggered in vitro by a combination of cytokines consisting of stem cell factor, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and tumor necrosis factor alpha. The immune response regulatory cytokines, IL-4 and IL-13, promote DC maturation from HPCs, induce monocyte-DC transdifferentiation, a...

the production of colony-stimulating factors (csf) is delicately controlled through a complex network of humoral and environmental factors. we have studied some of the mechanisms which regulate the production of csf as compared to general protein synthesis in the lung tissue ill vitro. when lung tissue from mice was cultured for various times in serum free medium, the first detectable level of ...

Dendritic cells (DC) 1 are class II-positive leukocytes specialized to initiate primary T cell-dependent immune responses (1-3) . DC were first identified in lymphoid tissues, and'most of the studies that have unraveled their unique stimulatory capacity for resting T cells used DC isolated from lymphoid organs . New insight into the biology of DC came from studies of murine epidermal Langerhans...

Monocyte chemotactic factors released from type II pneumocyte-like cells in response to TNF-a and IL-1a. S. Koyama, E. Sato, H. Nomura, K. Kubo, M. Miura, T. Yamashita, S. Nagai, T. Izumi. #ERS Journals Ltd 1999. ABSTRACT: It has been reported that tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-a and interleukin (IL)-1 induce the release of monocyte chemotactic factors (MCF), including chemokines, from A549 cell...

introduction genetic background has known to be associated with the outcome of human t cell lymphotropic virus (htlv) type i infection. in the present study we investigate the association between gm-csf gene polymorphisms with the outcome of htlv-i infection. materials and methods we analyzed 3 single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the promter region of granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating fa...
