Isoprostanes (isoP) are formed during conditions of oxidative stress (OS) through the oxidation of cell membrane fatty acids. Different classes of isoP are formed depending on the fatty acid being oxidized but the biological activity of these molecules in innate immune cells is poorly understood. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare in vitro the effects of F2- and F3-isoP on neutrophil microbicidal functions. We isolated neutrophils from 6 dairy cows and incubated them for 8 h at various concentrations of F2- and F3-isoP. Then, microbicidal function was assessed in terms of phagocytosis, respiratory burst, myeloperoxidase activity, and extracellular trap formation. In vitro supplementation with F3-isoP enhanced microbicidal capabilities whereas supplementation with F2-isoP decreased or did not impact these microbe killing functions. Hence, favoring the production of F3- over F2-isoprostanes may be a strategy to augment neutrophils' functional capacity during OS conditions. This should be tested in vivo.

Purpose: We aimed to identify the risk factors for severe neutropenia in the early phase of trifluridine-tipiracil (FTD/TPI) treatment, and their impact on overall survival (OS).
Methods: This single-center retrospective study included patients with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer who were treated with FTD/TPI. The primary endpoint was OS, and the secondary endpoint was severe neutropenia during the first and second cycles of FTD/TPI.

Dapsone is a sulfone used in treating inflammatory skin conditions. Despite its widespread dermatological use, the pharmacological actions of dapsone remain poorly understood. Here, we examined how different aspects of neutrophil functions are affected by dapsone.

Sweet's syndrome (or acute febrile dermatosis) is a neutrophilic dermatosis with a characteristic presentation encompassing specific clinical (fever and erythemato-violaceous oedematous papules, plaques and nodules), laboratory (neutrophilia and increased inflammatory markers), and histological (dermal neutrophilic infiltrate without vasculitis) features. Its pathophysiology is poorly understood but there seems to be an auto-inflammatory component related to mutations in inflammasome genes. It has been subdivided into its classic form, malignancy-associated, and drug-induced, according to its aetiology.

This study aims to investigate the risk factors for infection and mortality associated with carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) in hospitalized children, with the goal of providing valuable insights for the prevention and treatment of these bacterial infections. A retrospective case-control study was conducted, including 153 cases of carbapenem-sensitive infection in children and 49 cases of CRKP infection. Among the CRKP cases, 40 children survived and nine died.

Neutrophils and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) contribute to thrombosis and hyperinflammation in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN). High-density neutrophils (HDNs) and low-density neutrophils (LDNs) have recently been characterized as distinct neutrophil sub-populations with distinct morphological and functional properties. We aim to study the kinetics of NET formation and inhibition with interferon-α (IFNα) in neutrophils derived from patients with MPN as compared to matched healthy controls.
