Abstract
article i nfo Ithas beenreported that the young were much moreresistant to transientcerebral ischemia than in theadult.In the present study, we examined that about 90% of CA1 pyramidal cells in the adult gerbil hippocampus died at 4 days after ischemia-reperfusion; however, in the young hippocampus, about 56% of them died at 7 days after ischemia-reperfusion. We compared immunoreactivities and levels of calcium binding proteins (CBPs), such as calbindin 28k (CB-D28k), calretinin (CR) and parvalbumin (PV). The immunoreactivities and protein levels of all the CBPs in the young sham were higher than those in the adult sham. In the adult, the immunore- activities and protein levels of all the CBPs were markedly decreased at 4 days after ischemia-reperfusion, however, in the young, they were apparently maintained. At 7 days after ischemia-reperfusion, they were de- creased in the young, however, they were much higher than those in the adult. In brief, the immunoreactivities and levels of CBPs were not decreased in the ischemic CA1 region of the young 4 days after transient cerebral ischemia. This finding indicates that the longer maintenance of CBPs may contribute to a less and more delayed neuronal death/damage in the young.
Highlights
Autophagy is well known as one of the biogenic responses against various stresses, which possesses the beneficial roles for survival, but little is known about the dynamics and its significance during the septic condition
community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)-mediated antiinflammatory signals in vagal efferent nerve fibers result in the release of acetylcholine, which interacts with innate immune cells that express the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit α7 (α7nAChR)
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the α7nAChR-agonist cdp-choline on microcirculatory alterations during experimental endotoxemia
Summary
Autophagy is well known as one of the biogenic responses against various stresses, which possesses the beneficial roles for survival, but little is known about the dynamics and its significance during the septic condition. Conclusion The assessment of routine biomarkers (bilirubin, white blood cells and hemoglobin) may be a helpful tool in the decisionmaking process at the bedside, for the evaluation of early ICU admission of recoverable patients, as indicators of inflammatory response, organ dysfunction or catabolism level, and their significant predictive value on mortality. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the prognostic value of proadrenomedullin (pADM), measured in all patients admitted to the ICU of our hospital with a diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock during 1 year. The aim of the study is to evaluate life quality after trauma and to identify the most important needs of the patients, in order to improve the level of care after an ICU stay and to implement a faster and more effective reintegration into the active and productive society. We report the results of the baseline phase of this trial
