The nature of changes in the lipid profile caused by an acute infection is controversial. The aims of the present study were to study the changes in plasma lipids and lipoproteins in community-acquired pneumonia, to determine whether these changes differ according to the aetiologica/agents, and
Proline-rich protein (PRP) is a plasma protein associated with lipoproteins. In an attempt to clarify the biological significance of this protein, we isolated and characterized it and studied the biological role in plasma. PRP was isolated by immunosorber column chromatography and by gel filtration
Intravenous lipid emulsions (ILE) have demonstrated advantages including prevention of essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency; however, too much EFA can down regulate fatty acid elongation leading to an imbalance of nutritional compounds in plasma and cell membranes. An olive oil-based ILE containing
Chlamydia pneumoniae (CP) causes frequently nosocomial pneumonia and other inflammations of the upper and lower airways. Initially reports on the association between infection with CP and ischaemic heart disease (IHD) were published in 1988 by Saikku et al. who found a higher antibody titre against
Objectives: To assess the safety and therapeutic effects of allogeneic human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) in treating severe pneumonia caused by COVID-19.
Trial design: This
Lipids are a naturally occurring group of molecules that not only contribute to the structural integrity of the lung preventing alveolar collapse but also play important roles in the anti-inflammatory responses and antiviral protection. Alteration in the type and spatial localization of lipids in
