Chemotactic factors induce neutrophil emigration into tissues. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) was found to be several log times more potent in this respect than C5a des Arg, leukotriene B4, and f-Met-Leu-Phe and of comparable potency to endotoxin. Kinetic studies revealed a rapid and transient neutrophil influx, with the peak rate at 30-90 minutes. Cross tachyphylaxis was observed between IL-1 and endotoxin; and this, together with its high potency and rapid onset of action, suggest that IL-1 mediates endotoxin-induced neutrophil emigration.

Peritonitis is a common and life-threatening inflammatory disease. Myeloid cells are elevated in the peripheral blood and contribute to peritonitis, but their circulating dynamics are not clear. In vivo flow cytometry (IVFC) is a noninvasive technique for monitoring the dynamics of circulating cells in live animals.

Background: Immune mechanisms are associated with adverse outcomes in schizophrenia; however, the predictive value of various peripheral immune biomarkers has not been collectively investigated in a large cohort before.
Objective: To investigate how white blood cell (WBC) counts, ratios, and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels influence the long-term outcomes of individuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorder (SSD).
Methods: We identified all adults in the Central Denmark Region during 1994-2013 with a measurement of WBC counts and/or CRP at first diagnosis of SSD.

Background: The coronavirus pandemic has become the most critical global health threat of this century and the greatest challenge to the human population. The search for simple and quick diagnostic methods enabling the identification of patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus may be a valuable method to track infection.
Objectives: The aim of the study was the clinical and immunological characterization of patients by assessing the degrees of maturity of T lymphocytes from the 1st and 5th waves of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in comparison to a healthy control group (HC).

Background: A recently hypothesized cause of cell death called disulfidptosis has been linked to the expansion, emigration, and vascular rebuilding of cancer cells. Cancer can be treated by targeting the pathways that trigger cell death.
Aim: To discover the long non-coding RNA of the disulfidaptosis-related lncRNAs (DRLs), prognosis clinical survival, and treat patients with colorectal cancer with medications.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the potential involvement of spleen-derived monocytes in the repair process following corneal epithelial abrasion.
Methods: A corneal epithelial abrasion model was established in male C57BL/6J mice, and the dynamic changes of monocyte subpopulations in the injured cornea were analyzed using flow cytometry. The effects of Ly6Chi monocyte depletion and local adoptive transfer of purified Ly6Chi monocytes on wound closure and neutrophil recruitment to the injured cornea were observed.
