Bacterial DNA (bDNA) can activate an innate-immune stimulatory" danger “response via toll-
like receptor 9 (TLR9). Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is unique among endogenous …

The release of" neutrophil extracellular traps"(NETs) has been identified as a novel immune
response in innate immunity. Neutrophil extracellular traps are composed of neutrophil …

Immunosuppression may occur for a number of reasons related to an individual's frailty,

In this study, we show that the highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus
(AIV)(A/crow/Kyoto/53/04 and A/chicken/Egypt/CL6/07) induced apoptosis in duck …

Background: Microvascular leakage is proposed as main contributor to disturbed
microcirculatory perfusion following hemorrhagic shock and fluid resuscitation, leading to …

We here introduce a fixed-pressure model of hemorrhagic shock in rats that maximizes
effects on mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) during shock and yet maintains high …

Background: In previous animal studies, induction of therapeutic hypothermia (HT) in
hemorrhagic shock (HS) had beneficial effects on the hemodynamic and metabolic …

BACKGROUND The purpose of the current study was to investigate the protective effect of
niacin on acute lung injury by the down-regulation of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) pathway …

Background Reamed intramedullary nailing is the gold standard for management of femur
