Pulmonary Megakaryocytes: "Missing Link" Between Cardiovascular and Respiratory Disease?
J Clin Pathol: first published as 10.1136/jcp.39.9.969 on 1 September 1986. Downloaded from J Clin Pathol 1986;39:969-976 Pulmonary megakaryocytes: "missing link" between cardiovascular and respiratory disease? G K SHARMA, I C TALBOT From the Department ofPathology, University ofLeicester, Leicester Royal Infirmary SUMMARY Pulmonary megakaryocytes were quantitated in a series of 30 consecutive hospital nec- ropsies using a two stage immunoperoxidase stain for factor VIII related antigen. In all 30 cases they were found with a mean density of 14 65 megakaryocytes/cm2 in lung sections of 5 gm in thickness. The maximum concentration of intrapulmonary megakaryocytes was consistently found to be in the central zone of the right upper lobe. Less than 22% of the observed cells possessed abundant cytoplasm, the rest appearing as effete, naked, and seminaked nuclei. The mean megakaryocyte count was found to be increased in association with both respiratory pathology (positive smoking history and impaired lung function) and cardiovascular disease states-shock; thromboembolism; myocardial infarction; and severe atheroma in the abdominal aorta, the coronary circulation, and the circle of Willis. Pulmonary megakaryocytes probably embolise from bone marrow. This may reflect stimulated thrombopoiesis, caused by increased platelet consumption in association with atherosclerotic disease, but it cannot be taken to confirm that the lung is the principal site of platelet production. copyright.

Development of Plasmacytoid and Conventional Dendritic Cell Subtypes from Single Precursor Cells Derived in Vitro and in Vivo
ARTICLES Development of plasmacytoid and conventional dendritic cell subtypes from single precursor cells derived in vitro and in vivo Shalin H Naik1,2, Priyanka Sathe1,3, Hae-Young Park1,4, Donald Metcalf1, Anna I Proietto1,3, Aleksander Dakic1, Sebastian Carotta1, Meredith O’Keeffe1,4, Melanie Bahlo1, Anthony Papenfuss1, Jong-Young Kwak1,4,LiWu1 & Ken Shortman1 The development of functionally specialized subtypes of dendritic cells (DCs) can be modeled through the culture of bone marrow with the ligand for the cytokine receptor Flt3. Such cultures produce DCs resembling spleen plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs), http://www.nature.com/natureimmunology CD8+ conventional DCs (cDCs) and CD8– cDCs. Here we isolated two sequential DC-committed precursor cells from such cultures: dividing ‘pro-DCs’, which gave rise to transitional ‘pre-DCs’ en route to differentiating into the three distinct DC subtypes (pDCs, CD8+ cDCs and CD8– cDCs). We also isolated an in vivo equivalent of the DC-committed pro-DC precursor cell, which also gave rise to the three DC subtypes. Clonal analysis of the progeny of individual pro-DC precursors demonstrated that some pro-DC precursors gave rise to all three DC subtypes, some produced cDCs but not pDCs, and some were fully committed to a single DC subtype. Thus, commitment to particular DC subtypes begins mainly at this pro-DC stage. Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells crucial for the innate macrophages12. Further ‘downstream’, ‘immediate’ precursors have and adaptive response to infection as well as for maintaining immune been identified for several DC types, including Ly6Chi monocytes as 3,4,6 13 Nature Publishing Group Group Nature Publishing tolerance to self tissue. -
The Biogenesis of Platelets from Megakaryocyte Proplatelets
The biogenesis of platelets from megakaryocyte proplatelets Sunita R. Patel, … , John H. Hartwig, Joseph E. Italiano Jr. J Clin Invest. 2005;115(12):3348-3354. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI26891. Review Series Platelets are formed and released into the bloodstream by precursor cells called megakaryocytes that reside within the bone marrow. The production of platelets by megakaryocytes requires an intricate series of remodeling events that result in the release of thousands of platelets from a single megakaryocyte. Abnormalities in this process can result in clinically significant disorders. Thrombocytopenia (platelet counts less than 150,000/μl) can lead to inadequate clot formation and increased risk of bleeding, while thrombocythemia (platelet counts greater than 600,000/μl) can heighten the risk for thrombotic events, including stroke, peripheral ischemia, and myocardial infarction. This Review will describe the process of platelet assembly in detail and discuss several disorders that affect platelet production.

A Mutation in the Translation Initiation Codon of Gata-1 Disrupts Megakaryocyte Maturation and Causes Thrombocytopenia

Abstract Objective: This study aimed to investigate the changes in peripheral blood cells after two groups of splenectomy in patients with traumatic rupture of the spleen and portal hypertension group, as well as causes and prevention and treatment of splenectomy related portal vein thrombosis. Methods: Clinical data from 109 patients with traumatic rupture of the spleen who underwent splenectomy in our hospital from January 2001 to August 2015 were retrospectively analyzed, and compared with those from 240 patients with splenomegaly due to cirrhotic portal hypertension who underwent splenectomy over the same period. -

All his life he was completely devoted to science, making experimental pharmacology an independent scientific discipline, and was able to bring it to the international level. O. Schmiedeberg studied the action of muscarine and nicotine, digitoxin, hypnotics and analeptics. He was the first to introduce the concept of ―pharmacodynamics‖ and ―pharmacokinetics‖ of a drug. With his participation, the world‘s first pharmacological journal was founded, which is still published today. Science school. Working for many years at the University of Strasbourg, Schmiedeberg managed to educate about 120 students – professors from 20 countries of the world, many of whom later founded experimental pharmacology in their countries, for example, Abel in the USA, and N.P.

In addition, liver fibrosis can reportedly be prevented by the Rg 1 component of red ginseng. This study investigated the combined effect of G-CSF and red ginseng on decompensated liver cirrhosis. Methods: Four patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis were injected with G-CSF to proliferate BM stem cells for 4 days (5 μg/kg bid subcutaneously) and followed-up for 3 months. The patients also received red ginseng for 4 days (2 tablets tid per os). We analyzed Child-Pugh scores, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores and cirrhotic complications. Results: All patients showed marked increases in White blood cell (WBC) and CD34+ cells in the peripheral blood, with a peak time of 4 days after G-CSF injection. Spleen size also increased after G-CSF injection, but not severely. -

Abstract In vivo nanocarrier-associated toxicity is a significant and poorly understood hurdle to clinical translation of siRNA nanomedicines. In this work, we demonstrate that platelet activating factor (PAF), an inflammatory lipid mediator, plays a key role in nanocarrier- associated toxicities, and that prophylactic inhibition of the PAF receptor (PAFR) completely prevents these toxicities. -
