  • Cangrelor Ameliorates CLP-Induced Pulmonary Injury in Sepsis By
    Luo et al. Eur J Med Res (2021) 26:70 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40001-021-00536-4 European Journal of Medical Research RESEARCH Open Access Cangrelor ameliorates CLP-induced pulmonary injury in sepsis by inhibiting GPR17 Qiancheng Luo1†, Rui Liu2†, Kaili Qu3, Guorong Liu1, Min Hang1, Guo Chen1, Lei Xu1, Qinqin Jin1 , Dongfeng Guo1* and Qi Kang1* Abstract Background: Sepsis is a common complication of severe wound injury and infection, with a very high mortality rate. The P2Y12 receptor inhibitor, cangrelor, is an antagonist anti-platelet drug. Methods: In our study, we investigated the protective mechanisms of cangrelor in CLP-induced pulmonary injury in sepsis, using C57BL/6 mouse models. Results: TdT-mediated dUTP Nick-End Labeling (TUNEL) and Masson staining showed that apoptosis and fbrosis in lungs were alleviated by cangrelor treatment. Cangrelor signifcantly promoted surface expression of CD40L on platelets and inhibited CLP-induced neutrophils in Bronchoalveolar lavage fuid (BALF) (p < 0.001). We also found that cangrelor decreased the infammatory response in the CLP mouse model and inhibited the expression of infamma- tory cytokines, IL-1β (p < 0.01), IL-6 (p < 0.05), and TNF-α (p < 0.001). Western blotting and RT-PCR showed that cangre- lor inhibited the increased levels of G-protein-coupled receptor 17 (GPR17) induced by CLP (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our study indicated that cangrelor repressed the levels of GPR17, followed by a decrease in the infam- matory response and a rise of neutrophils in BALF, potentially reversing CLP-mediated pulmonary injury during sepsis. Keywords: Sepsis, Infammation, Cangrelor, Platelet, GPR17 Background Te lung is one of the initial target organ of the systemic Sepsis is a serious disease and will lead a high mortal- infammatory response caused by sepsis, leading to alve- ity rate of approximately 22% in all over the world [1].

PHARMACEUTICAL FORM Powder for concentrate for solution for injection/infusion. White to off-white lyophilised powder. 4. CLINICAL PARTICULARS 4.1 Therapeutic indications Kengrexal, co-administered with acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), is indicated for the reduction of thrombotic cardiovascular events in adult patients with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) who have not received an oral P2Y12 inhibitor prior to the PCI procedure and in whom oral therapy with P2Y12 inhibitors is not feasible or desirable. 4.2 Posology and method of administration Kengrexal should be administered by a physician experienced in either acute coronary care or in coronary intervention procedures and is intended for specialised use in an acute and hospital setting. Posology The recommended dose of Kengrexal for patients undergoing PCI is a 30 micrograms/kg intravenous bolus followed immediately by 4 micrograms/kg/min intravenous infusion. The bolus and infusion should be initiated prior to the procedure and continued for at least two hours or for the duration of the procedure, whichever is longer. At the discretion of the physician, the infusion may be continued for a total duration of four hours, see section 5.1.

  • Drug Allergy: Diagnosis and Management of Drug Allergy in Adults and Children
    NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR HEALTH AND CLINICAL EXCELLENCE SCOPE 1 Guideline title Drug allergy: diagnosis and management of drug allergy in adults and children 1.1 Short title Drug allergy 2 The remit The Department of Health has asked NICE: ‘To produce a clinical guideline on Drug allergy: diagnosis and management of drug allergy in adults and children 3 Clinical need for the guideline 3.1 Epidemiology a) Diagnosing a drug allergy is challenging, with considerable variation in service provision, practice and referral pattern. This can lead to under-diagnosis, misdiagnosis and self-diagnosis. b) All drugs have the potential to cause side effects, also known as adverse drug reactions, but not all of these are allergic in nature; other reactions are caused by drug intolerance, idiosyncratic reactions and pseudo-allergic reactions. c) The British Society for Allergy and Clinical Immunology (BSACI) defines drug allergy as an adverse drug reaction with an established immunological mechanism. However, the mechanism at presentation may not be apparent from the clinical history, and therefore, whether a drug reaction is allergic or non-allergic cannot always be established without investigation. Drug allergy guideline – Draft scope for consultation 3–31 October 2012 Page 1 of 8 d) Drug allergy can be further defined as an immune-mediated hypersensitivity reaction to a medicinal product and may be divided into immunoglobulin E (IgE)-mediated (immediate onset) and non- IgE-mediated (delayed onset, usually involving T cells) reactions. e) Adverse drug

Res. 2: 72-84 (1968) Agammaglobulinemia hypogammaglobulinemia hereditary disease immunoglobulins Hereditary Alterations in the Immune Response: Coexistence of 'Agammaglobulinemia', Acquired Hypogammaglobulinemia and Selective Immunoglobulin Deficiency in a Sibship REBECCA H. BUCKLEY[75] and J. B. SIDBURY, Jr. Departments of Pediatrics, Microbiology and Immunology, Division of Immunology, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, North Carolina, USA Extract A longitudinal immunologic study was conducted in a family in which an entire sibship of three males was unduly susceptible to infection. The oldest boy's history of repeated severe infections be- ginning in infancy and his marked deficiencies of all three major immunoglobulins were compatible with a clinical diagnosis of congenital 'agammaglobulinemia' (table I, fig. 1). Recurrent severe in- fections in the second boy did not begin until late childhood, and his serum abnormality involved deficiencies of only two of the major immunoglobulin fractions, IgG and IgM (table I, fig. 1). This phenotype of selective immunoglobulin deficiency is previously unreported. Serum concentrations of the three immunoglobulins in the youngest boy (who also had a late onset of repeated infection) were normal or elevated when he was first studied, but a marked decline in levels of each of these fractions was observed over a four-year period (table I, fig. 1). We could find no previous reports describing apparent congenital and acquired immunologic deficiencies in a sibship. Repeated infections and demonstrated specific immunologic unresponsiveness preceded gross ab- normalities in the total and fractional gamma globulin levels in both of the younger boys (tables II-IV). When the total immunoglobulin level in the second boy was 735 mg/100 ml, he failed to respond with a normal rise in titer after immunization with 'A' and 'B' blood group substances, diphtheria, tetanus, or Types I and II poliovaccines.
