Abstract

The main flow laser cytometry principles, based on the elastic light scattering, spheres of its applications, problems of its realization and utilization in the immunological investigations and diagnostics are analysed. The experimental model of a flow cytometer with laser probing beam space scanning, originally proposed by the authors, is described. The apparatus was tested by polystyrene latex spheres and biological objects. The experiments showed that the achieved sensitivity was enough to register red blood cells, their complexes and bacterial cells.

In vivo effect of rhGM-CSF And rhG-CSF on monocyte HLA-DR expression of septic neonates.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of rhGM-CSF and rhG-CSF on the monocyte HLA-DR expression of septic neonates. SUBJECTS: 60 septic neonates and 41 healthy ones. Septic neonates were randomly assigned into three treatment groups, the GM-CSF group [n=20, rhGM-CSF 5 mcg/kg/d for 4 days, intravenously over 2h (IV)], the G-CSF group (n=20, rhG-CSF 10 mcg/kg/d for 4 days, IV) and the placebo group (n=20, normal saline for 4 days, IV). MEASUREMENTS: Serial (days 0,1, 3 and 5 after the onset of sepsis) measurements of the percentage of HLA-DR positive monocytes (%HLA-DR+ monocytes) and mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) by flow-cytometry as well as the absolute monocyte counts (AMC). MAIN RESULTS: On day 0, the HLA-DR expression of the septic neonates (%HLA-DR+ monocytes: 38%+/-1.8% (mean+/-SEM) and MFI: 73+/-3.4) was significantly lower than the healthy control values (%HLA-DR+ monocytes: 68%+/-2% and MFI: 123+/-4.6) (P<0.0001, for both parameters). On follow up (days 1, 3 and 5), a significant increase of HLA-DR expression was observed in all the groups of septic neonates. Healthy control values of %HLA-DR+ monocytes were reached by day 1 in the GM-CSF group and by day 3 in the G-CSF and placebo groups. Healthy control values of MFI were reached by day 3 in all groups of septic neonates. The AMC showed a significant increase in the GM-CSF group (during the whole follow up period) and in the G-CSF group (for the first 3 days of follow up). CONCLUSIONS: The monocyte HLA-DR expression is depressed on the onset of neonatal sepsis and is progressively restored during the following days. Treatment with rhGM-CSF results in an earlier increase of the number of monocytes expressing the HLA-DR.

Heparin-like polymers modulate proinflammatory cytokine production by lipopolysaccharide-stimulated human monocytes.

The search for heparin-like materials remains an intensive field of research. In this context, we studied the immunomodulatory properties of semisynthetic dextran derivatives and naturally occurring sulfated polysaccharides present in brown seaweed (fucans). In this study, we investigated the functional potencies of fucan and dextran derivatives by analyzing their effects on the release of proinflammatory cytokines by resting or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human monocytes and their interactions on monocyte surfaces. The results showed that fucan, dextran derivatives, and heparin differentially (1) triggered interleukin-1alpha, tumor necrosis factor alpha, interleukin-6, and interleukin-8 production by monocytes in a dose-dependent manner, (2) modulated cytokine production by LPS-stimulated monocytes, and (3) specifically inhibited the binding of biotinylated LPS to monocyte membranes. Taken together, these data indicated that fucan and dextran derivatives displayed interesting immunomodulatory effects on human blood cells that could be relevant as new drugs or biomaterial coatings. Indeed, such polysaccharides, by regulating monocyte activation, could contribute to the improved biocompatibility of implants.

Dissolution testing of a poorly soluble compound using the flow-through cell dissolution apparatus.

Dissolution of Pfizer Compound PD198306, a poorly soluble compound, was studied in 25 mM pH 9 sodium phosphate solution with 0.5% SLS using the flow-through cell dissolution apparatus. Unmicronized and micronized drug powders were tested. Several methods of loading the drug powder into the flow-through dissolution cells and their impact on dissolution were investigated. The influence of flow rate of the dissolution medium on the rate and extent of dissolution were studied. PD198306 has poor wettability even in the presence of 0.5% SLS. It was found that loading the drug powder into the dissolution cell in the form of a suspension provided the best dissolution profile in terms of the rate and extent of dissolution. The flow rate of 4 ml/min resulted in good particle size discrimination.
