The early stages of microvascular injury are often difficult to detect due to the lack of a
suitable marker to assess such an injury. We utilized the well known phenomenon of …

The present study examines the role of PMN in hyperoxic lung injury using a nonsteroidal
anti-inflammatory drug, ibuprofen. New Zealand white rabbits were exposed to 100 …

[en] The lung injury resulting from 100% oxygen exposure is associated with an influx of
polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) into the lung. PMNs labeled with a suitable gamma …

Hyperoxic injury results in an influx of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) into the lung. To
better understand the role of the PMN in this injury, kinetic studies were used to assess the …

The role of polymorphonuclear leukocytes ((PMNs) in fibrotic lung disease remains poorly
defined, but PMN prominence may predict a poor response to therapy in some patients. The …

Neutrophil (PMN) deposition in tissues (leukosequestration) after shock may produce local
tissue injury from proteases and oxygen intermediaries which are released from …

Objective: A hallmark of the systemic response to an inflammatory stimulus is the release of
polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) from the bone marrow. This study was designed to …

Indirect injury to the lung's endothelial barrier due to interaction between physical and
chemical agents with elements in circulating blood is receiving increased attention since it …

Is Lung Sequestration of Indium- 111-Labeled Page 1 olymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN)
labeled with indium-i 11(In-PMN) are utilized clinically to identify inflammatory processes, and …

We studied polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) uptake in lungs of endotoxemic rabbits
using 111In-labeled PMN and isotope imaging by gamma scintigraphy. Rabbits were …
