Does leukocyte filtration ameliorate the inflammatory response in patients with mild to moderate lung dysfunction?
Arterial plus cardioplegic LF significantly reduced proinflammatory cytokine release after cardiopulmonary bypass, thus ameliorating postoperative indexes of lung function and overall respiratory outcome.
CD26 mRNA was overexpressed in HCC, and its inhibition suppressed cellular proliferation through cell cycle arrest. The combined use of CD26 knockdown with a Bcl-xL inhibitor further elicited substantial apoptosis and therefore may serve as a powerful anticancer combination therapy against HCC.
