Polymorphonuclear leukocytes are degranulated in the lumens of vessels in synovial membrane in humans with various types of inflammatory arthritis and in dogs with synovitis induced by urate crystals. This degranulation, accompanied by the release of lysosomal enzymes and vasoactive materials, may be an important part of the mechanism resulting in vascular injury.

The current report describes a stepwise mechanistic pathway of NLRP3/caspase1/IL-18-regulated immune responses operational in eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). We show that esophageal epithelial cells and macrophage-derived NLRP3 regulated IL-18 initiate the disease and induced IL-5 facilitates eosinophil growth and survival. We also found that A.

The cell-based model of coagulation remains the basis of our current understanding of clinical hemostasis and thrombosis. Its advancement on the coagulation cascade model has enabled new prohemostatic and anticoagulant treatments to be developed. In the past decade, there has been increasing evidence of the procoagulant properties of extracellular, cell-free histones (CFHs).

Background: Puncture wounding is a longstanding challenge to human health for which understanding is limited, in part, by a lack of detailed morphological data on how the circulating platelet capture to the vessel matrix leads to sustained, self-limiting platelet accumulation.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to produce a paradigm for self-limiting thrombus growth in a mouse jugular vein model.
Methods: Data mining of advanced electron microscopy images was performed from authors' laboratories.

Objective: Carbon monoxide (CO) activates intravascular neutrophils through platelet-neutrophil aggregates, which cause neutrophil degranulation. This process causes the release of myeloperoxidase (MPO), proteases, and reactive oxygen species. The MPO index (MPXI) is a newly reported inflammatory marker that reflects the MPO level within neutrophils.

When the drug induces the organism to produce a type Ⅰ allergic reaction, the combination of IgE and mast cells results in the degranulation of the mast cells. Release of vasoactive substances, increase in vascular permeability, and exudation of intravascular substances outside the blood vessels. Based on this pathophysiological mechanism, a mouse model that can objectively and quantitatively assess the allergic response to the injection has been established.
