Abstract
Nucleotide supplementation can reduce postexercise immunosuppression and hypothalamic-pituitary axis (HPA) axis activation in endurance exercise models. Nucleotide supplementation may aid recovery from other exercise modalities, such as heavy resistance exercise. Thus, the purpose of this investigation was to investigate the effects of nucleotide supplementation on the acute cortisol and immune responses to heavy resistance exercise and its effects on recovery. A double-blinded, crossover, mixed methods design with 10 men and 10 women was used. Each performed an acute heavy resistance exercise protocol (AHREP) after a loading period with a nucleotide or placebo supplement. Before and after the AHREP, and at 24, 48, and 72 hours post, blood samples were analyzed for cortisol, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and absolute neutrophil, lymphocyte, and monocyte counts. Creatine kinase (CK) was analyzed before and 24, 48, and 72 hours after the AHREP. Performance measures, including peak back squat isometric force and peak countermovement jump power were also analyzed. Nucleotide supplementation resulted in significant (p ≤ 0.05) decreases in cortisol and MPO immediately after the AHREP, and significantly lower CK values 24 hours later. The AHREP significantly affected leukocyte counts; however, no treatment effects were observed. Greater isometric force was observed immediately after AHREP and at 24 hours and 48 hours with nucleotide supplementation. Nucleotide supplementation seems to attenuate muscle damage, HPA axis and immune system activation, and performance decrements after heavy resistance exercise.

Abstract
Background: Cordyceps sinensis (CS) is one of the rare traditional Chinese herbs, only a very limited amount of natural CS is produced. Fermented CS, as a substitute for natural CS, is widely used in the field of supplementary medical treatment and health products. Its antagonistic effect on oxidative stress (OS) in vivo has not been investigated. Objective: Our aim was to investigate the antagonistic effect of fermented CS on OS in doxorubicin (DOX) treated rats and to compare the anti-OS effects in heart and liver tissues. Materials and Methods: OS rats were induced by tail-intravenous injection of DOX (total of 7.5 mg/kg), and then administered intragastrically with fermented CS (1.5 g/kg) for 4 weeks. At the end of the experiment, heart, liver and serum samples were taken for and biochemical analyses. Results: Fermented CS significantly increased the activities of glutathione peroxidase and catalase and the scavenging activity of O2− in serum, and the total superoxide dismutase activity in cardiac tissue; reduced the malondialdehyde content in liver and cardiac tissues. Conclusion: Fermented CS can inhibit DOX-induced OS reactions, and the anti-OS effects have high selectivity to heart and liver, especially to heart. Thus, fermented CS may be a candidate used for the prevention against various cardiac diseases induced by OS.

Abstract
Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is an enzyme that catalyzes degradation of the heme and regulates its availability for newly synthetized hemeproteins such as cyclooxygenases, NO synthases and cytochrome P450. Moreover, HO-1 activity modulates synthesis of cytokines and prostaglandins. All of these factors are well-defined components of fever and pyrogenic tolerance mechanisms. We examine the effect of HO-1 induction and activation using cobalt protoporphyrin (CoPP) on changes in body temperature (Tb), plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) and HO-1 protein in the course of these processes. Intraperitoneally (i.p.) pre-treatment of rats with CoPP (5 mg kg(-1)) significantly accelerated and enhanced the early stage of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced fever and shortened a post-fever recovery to normal temperature. Pre-treatment with CoPP significantly potentiated the increase in plasma IL-6, PGE₂ and HO-1 levels measured 4h after the LPS administration. Furthermore, induction of HO-1 attenuated the development of pyrogenic tolerance to repeated injections of LPS. Based on these data we conclude that heme oxygenase-1 may act as a physiological regulator of the febrile response intensity to bacterial infections.

Abstract
We have recently demonstrated that oxidants can activate monocytes via an action on Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2; however, it is unclear what functional consequence this has on immune surveillance for Gram-negative and -positive bacteria. Gram-negative and -positive bacteria and their related pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are sensed by TLR4 and TLR2, respectively. In the current study, we used a human monocyte cell line to show that oxidants prime cells to subsequent challenge with Gram-negative or -positive bacteria as well as PAMPs specific for TLR4 (LPS), TLR2/1 (Pam(3)CSK4), TLR2/6 (FSL-1), Nod1 (FK565), and Nod2 (MDP Lys 18). Similarly, activation of TLR4 with LPS primed for subsequent activation of cells by agonists of the TLR2/6 or TLR2/1 complex. However, no synergy was noted when cells were costimulated with Pam(3)CSK4 and FSL-1. We then tested blood (and isolated monocytes) derived from healthy smokers, which is oxidant primed, making it more sensitive to bacterial or PAMP stimulation when compared with blood of nonsmokers. Thus an oxidant stimulation, possibly via an action on TLR2 or associated transduction pathways, provides a signal that initiates inflammatory responses and sensitizes cells to pathogenic insults.

Abstract
PURPOSE To understand systemic the influence of stent therapy for inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction due to advanced liver tumor. METHODS Seven patients with symptomatic IVC obstruction due to advanced primary (n = 4) or secondary (n = 3) liver tumor were subjected to stent therapy. Enrollment criteria included high IVC pressure over 15 mmHg and the presence of edema and ascites. Z-stents were deployed using coaxial sheath technique via femoral venous puncture. Physiologic and hematobiochemical parameters were analyzed. RESULTS All procedures were successful, and the stents remained patent until patient death. Promptly after stent placement, the IVC flow recovered, and the venous blood pressure in the IVC below the obstruction level showed a significant decrease from 20.8 +/- 1.2 mmHg (mean +/- SE) to 10.7 +/- 0.7 mmHg (p < 0.01). Transient mild increase of right atrial pressure was observed in 1 patient. During the following week prominent diuresis was observed in all patients. Mean urine output volume in the 3 days before the stent therapy was 0.81 +/- 0.09 l/day compared with 2.1 +/- 0.2 l/day (p < 0.01) in the 3 days after. The edema and ascites decreased in all patients. The caval pressure change correlated well (r > 0.6) with the urine volume increase, and with the decreased volume of edema and ascites. The urine volume increase correlated well with the decrement of edema, but not with that of ascites. Improvements for various durations in the levels of blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, lactate dehydrogenase, fibrinogen, and platelet count were found (p < 0.05). These hematobiochemical changes were well correlated with each other and with the decrement of ascites. Two patients showed a low blood sodium level of 128.5 mEq/l after intensive natriuresis, and one of them died on day 21 with hepatic failure, which was interpreted as maladaptation aggravation. The mean survival time was 94.1 +/- 34.1 days (mean +/- SD), ranging from 21 to 140 days after stent treatment. CONCLUSION The stent therapy for IVC obstruction due to malignant liver tumors was followed by a series of physiologic and hematobiochemical consequences, most of them favorable but some possibly unfavorable. Rational interpretations and predictions of sequelae based on physiologic science including cardiology, hepatology, and nephrology would facilitate the best management of stent therapy for malignant IVC obstruction.

Abstract
Pathogenesis of the development of sepsis is highly complex and has been the object of study for many years. The inflammatory phenomena underlying septic shock are described in this review, as well as the enzymes and genes involved in the cellular activation that precedes this condition. The most important molecular aspects are discussed, ranging from the cytokines involved and their respective transduction pathways to the cellular mechanisms related to accelerated catabolism and multi-organic failure.

Abstract
Neutrophils occur in tissues of the female reproductive tract (FRT) under non-infected conditions. These cells generally enter tissues under the influence of chemoattractants called chemokines. Primary epithelial cells (EC) from FRT were a potent source of chemokines, IL-8 being the chief neutrophil chemoattractant secreted. Blocking with neutralizing anti-IL-8 showed that IL-8 did not account for all of the chemoattraction observed. A mixture of 25 ng/mL rIL-8 and 1 ng/mL rGM-CSF mediated 2.7-fold more chemotaxis than that expected if the two agents were additive. We then found that GM-CSF was produced by EC in amounts that synergised strongly with IL-8 to enhance chemotaxis. Treatment of uterine EC conditioned medium with saturating doses of anti-IL-8 plus anti-GM-CSF antibodies produced an 84% inhibition of chemotaxis. These findings demonstrate that the majority of neutrophil chemoattractant activity produced by FRT EC results from the synergistic effects of IL-8 and GM-CSF.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To review the platelet-activating factor (PAF) signaling system, its regulation, and its dysregulation in acute inflammation and thrombosis and in syndromes that involve these cascades, including sepsis. DATA SOURCES A summary of published literature from MEDLINE search files and published reviews. DATA EXTRACTION, SYNTHESIS, AND SUMMARY: PAF, a phospholipid signaling molecule, transmits outside-in signals to intracellular transduction systems and effector mechanisms in a variety of cell types, including key cells of the innate immune and hemostatic systems: neutrophils, monocytes, and platelets. Thus, the PAF signaling system is a point of convergence at which injurious stimuli can trigger and amplify both acute inflammatory and thrombotic cascades. The biological activities of PAF are regulated by several precise mechanisms that, together, constrain and control its action in physiologic inflammation. Unregulated synthesis of PAF or defects in the mechanisms that limit its biological activities have the potential to cause pathologic inflammation and thrombosis. In addition, nonenzymatic generation of oxidized phospholipids that are recognized by the PAF receptor can trigger inflammatory and thrombotic events. There is evidence that the PAF signaling system is dysregulated in sepsis, shock, and traumatic injury and that interruption or termination of its effector responses leads to beneficial outcomes. Plasma PAF acetylhydrolase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes PAF and structurally related oxidized phospholipids, yielding products that are no longer recognized by the PAF receptor, may be a particularly important signal terminator. CONCLUSION The PAF signaling system can trigger inflammatory and thrombotic cascades, amplify these cascades when acting with other mediators, and mediate molecular and cellular interactions (cross talk) between inflammation and thrombosis. Evidence from in vitro experiments, studies of experimental animals, and clinical observations in humans indicates that the PAF signaling system is important in sepsis and other syndromes of inflammatory injury and that therapeutic strategies to interrupt or terminate signaling via the PAF signaling system may be useful in these conditions.

Abstract
Bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induce expression of multiple genes in endothelial cells, which are critical cellular effectors in various pathologic syndromes. Using subtractive hybridization to identify genes that are differentially induced in human endothelial cells treated with LPS, we found that retinoic acid-inducible gene I (RIG-I) is induced in endothelial cells stimulated with LPS. RIG-I encodes a protein belonging to the DExH-box family which has diverse roles in regulation of gene expression and cellular functions. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is also induced in endothelial cells by LPS. Overexpression of RIG-I selectively upregulated expression of COX-2 and also induced COX-2 promoter activity. RIG-I is an inducible gene in stimulated endothelial cells that may have important roles in vascular pathology by virtue of its ability to regulate expression of the COX-2 gene product.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop an in vitro model of the bovine alveolar-capillary interface and to evaluate the roles of interleukin-8 (IL-8) and platelet-activating factor (PAF) in neutrophil-mediated endothelial injury induced by infection with Mannheimia haemolytica. SAMPLE POPULATION Cultured bovine pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells, freshly isolated bovine neutrophils, and monocyte-derived bovine macrophages. PROCEDURE A coculture system was developed in which endothelial cells were grown to confluence in tissue culture inserts, neutrophils were added to the inserts, and macrophages were added to tissue culture wells. Mannheimia haemolytica-derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or supernatant was added to activate macrophages, and inhibitors of PAF or IL-8 were added to the insert. Endothelial cell cytotoxicity and permeability (ie, albumin leakage) and neutrophil activation (ie, adhesion, degranulation [lactoferrin expression], and superoxide production) were assessed. RESULTS The addition of M haemolytica-derived LPS to bovine macrophages in the coculture system resulted in significant increases in endothelial cell cytotoxicity and permeability and neutrophil degranulation and adhesion. Inhibition of IL-8 reduced endothelial cell permeability and neutrophil degranulation induced by exposure to M haemolytica-derived supernatant, whereas inhibition of PAF decreased superoxide release by neutrophils. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE In vitro activation of bovine macrophages by M haemolytica-derived LPS resulted in neutrophil activation and neutrophil-mediated endothelial damage. Neutrophil-mediated endothelial injury and neutrophil degranulation were, at least in part, mediated by IL8, whereas PAF promoted superoxide release by neutrophils in this in vitro system designed to mimic the in vivo events that occur during the early stages of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis.

Abstract
It has been demonstrated that infections due to Shiga toxins (Stx) producing Escherichia coli are the main cause of the hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). Although it is recognized that Stx damage the glomerular endothelium, clinical and experimental evidence suggests that the inflammatory response is able to potentiate Stx toxicity. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and neutrophils (PMN) represent two central components of inflammation during a gram-negative infection. In this regard, patients with high peripheral PMN counts at presentation have a poor prognosis. Since the murine model has been used to study LPS-Stx interactions, we analyzed the effects of Stx alone or in combination with LPS on the kinetics of neutrophil production and activation and their participation in renal damage. We observed a sustained neutrophilia after Stx2 injection. Moreover, these neutrophils showed increased expression of CD11b, enhanced cytotoxic capacity, and greater adhesive properties. Regarding the cooperative effects of LPS on Stx2 action, we demonstrated potentiation of neutrophilia and CD11b induction at early times by pretreatment with LPS. Finally, a positive correlation between neutrophil percentage and renal damage (assayed as plasmatic urea) firmly suggests a role for PMN in the pathogenesis of HUS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the capacity of inflammatory mediators tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin-8 (IL-8), platelet-activating factor (PAF), lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and leukotoxin to prime, activate, or alter deformability of adult bovine neutrophils. SAMPLE POPULATION Blood collected from 5 healthy adult Holstein cows. PROCEDURE Isolated neutrophils or whole blood was incubated with TNF-alpha, IL-8, PAF, LPS, or leukotoxin, and neutrophil chemiluminescence, degranulation, deformability, shape change, CD11b expression, and size distribution was measured. RESULTS Incubation with TNF-alpha, IL-8, PAF, and LPS primed neutrophils for oxygen radical release but caused minimal oxygen radical release by themselves. None of the inflammatory mediators induced degranulation. Incubation with TNF-alpha and PAF resulted in a decrease in neutrophil deformability and induced shape change in neutrophils. Incubation with PAF consistently resulted in an increase in neutrophil size as measured by use of flow cytometry. Only IL-8 caused an increase in expression of CD11b by neutrophils. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Inflammatory mediators tested had minimal effects on neutrophil oxygen radical production or degranulation but did prime neutrophils for oxygen radical production. Incubation with PAF and TNF-alpha caused a decrease in neutrophil deformability and altered neutrophil shape and size. Results of our study indicate that PAF- and TNF-alpha-induced changes in neutrophil deformability and size may cause integrin- and selectin-independent trapping of neutrophils in the lungs of cattle with pneumonic pasteurellosis.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial cells participate in the process of allograft rejection by promoting both the recruitment and the activation of alloreactive T cells. There have been three major recent advances in the field of interactions between T cells and endothelial cells that are of direct relevance to the process of cell-mediated responses to allografts: first, endothelial cells mediate selective recruitment of CD4+ T cell subsets, including naive and memory T cells and T cell subsets of the Th1 and Th2 phenotypes; second, endothelial cells co-stimulate the production of effector cytokines by helper T cells; and third, endothelial cells regulate T cell apoptosis.

Abstract
Neutrophil degranulation is an important event in inflammatory responses. We examined the regulation of neutrophil (PMN) degranulation by resting and activated human endothelial cells. Whereas PMNs adherent to endothelial cells that were stimulated to express P-selectin and platelet-activating factor did not release the specific granule marker lactoferrin or the primary granule enzyme, elastase, PMNs adherent to endothelial cells stimulated with interleukin-1 (IL-1) or tumor necrosis factor secreted both. PMN degranulation was dependent on the time of incubation of endothelial cells with the cytokine, its concentration, and the time of incubation of the PMNs with endothelial cells. Degranulation of PMNs and their adhesion to stimulated endothelial cells are correlated events, but they could be dissociated by blocking the tethering molecules used by the endothelial cells and neutrophils under these conditions. This suggested that paracrine signaling molecules that induce PMN degranulation are produced by cytokine-stimulated endothelial cells. We found that endothelial cells stimulated with IL-1 release newly synthesized degranulating factors that require transcription and translation. IL-8 was synthesized, released, and signaled granular secretion by PMNs. However, experiments with blocking antibodies indicated the presence of an additional degranulating factor not accounted for by IL-8. These experiments demonstrate that human endothelial cells regulate degranulation of neutrophils by generating signaling factors that are expressed differentially depending on the endothelial agonist and other features. Active modification of neutrophil granular secretion by endothelial cells can influence physiologic acute inflammatory responses but may also contribute to pathologic vascular and tissue damage.
