Abstract
BACKGROUND Liposuction is a type of aesthetic surgery that has been performed on humans for decades. There is not much literature addressing the subject matter of pre- and post-surgery blood parameters, although this information is rather interesting. Documentation on patients who received laser-assisted liposuction treatment is particularly scarce. Until now, there has been no literature showing values of platelets, lymphocytes, and neutrophils after liposuction. PURPOSE The aim of the work is to analyze and interpret values of platelets, lymphocytes and neutrophils in patient blood before and after liposuction, a surgery in which an extraordinarily large amount of potent drugs are used. Moreover, the aim is to compare values changes in patients of conventional and laser-assisted liposuction. MATERIAL AND METHODS We evaluated standard blood samples in patients prior to and after liposuction. This paper covers the number of platelets, lymphocytes, and neutrophils. A total of 54 patients were examined. Moreover, we compared the change in postoperative values in laser-assisted liposuction patients with the change of values in conventional liposuction patients. A paired two-sided Student's t-test was used for statistical evaluation. P < 0.005 was acknowledged to be statistically significant. RESULTS Values of platelets were raised both in conventional and in laser-assisted liposuction patients, but this difference was statistically non-significant and levels of platelets were still normal and within the range of blood levels in healthy patients. Values of neutrophils rose by up to 79.49% ± 7.74% standard deviation (SD) and values of lymphocytes dropped by up to 12.68% ± 5.61% SD. The before/after variances of conventional tumescent local anesthesia liposuction and variations in laser-assisted liposuction were similar for all measured parameters; they also showed no statistically significant differences between before and after surgery. The mean value of total operation time without laser-assistance was 3 hours 42 minutes (± 57 minutes SD, range 2 hours 50 minutes to 5 hours 10 minutes). Surgeries with laser-assistance were on average 16 minutes shorter with a mean duration of 3 hours 26 minutes (± 45 minutes SD, range 2 hours 40 minutes to 4 hours 10 minutes). The difference was not statistically significant (P < 0.06). The mean value of aspirate volume for liposuctions performed without laser support was 2,618 mL (± 633.7 SD, range 700 mL to 3,500 mL). Mean aspirate volume for liposuctions with laser assistance was increased by up to 61 mL (2,677 mL ± 499.5 SD, range 1,800 mL to 3,500 mL). The difference was not statistically significant (P < 0.71). CONCLUSION We conclude that conventional liposuction and laser-assisted liposuction have a similar influence on platelets, lymphocytes, and neutrophils in patients. Moreover, laser-assisted liposuction seems to be less time consuming than conventional liposuction.

Abstract
This review focuses on the contributions of stress-related behavioral factors to cancer growth and metastasis and the biobehavioral mechanisms underlying these relationships. Behavioral factors that are important in modulation of the stress response and the pivotal role of neuroendocrine regulation in the downstream alteration of physiologic pathways relevant to cancer control, including the cellular immune response, inflammation, and tumor angiogenesis, invasion, and cell signaling pathways are described. Consequences for cancer progression and metastasis, as well as quality of life, are delineated. Behavioral and pharmacologic interventions with the potential to alter these biobehavioral pathways for patients with cancer are discussed.

[Clinical relevance of leukocyte differential in patients with marked leukocytosis in the emergency room]. Rev Med Interne 2011; 32:406-10. [PMID: 21292359 DOI: 10.1016/j.revmed.2010.12.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2010] [Revised: 11/25/2010] [Accepted: 12/23/2010] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE We analyzed the characteristics of the leukocyte differential and the clinical outcome in patients admitted in an emergency department with marked leukocytosis greater than 20×10(9)G/L. METHODS We studied a case series of consecutive patients admitted in an emergency department. The medical records were retrospectively reviewed after patient discharge. Three groups were defined: patients with infectious disorders (group I), noninfectious disorders (group II), and trauma (group III). Admission in intensive care unit (ICU), consciousness impairment or death defined the subgroup S of high severity. RESULTS Groups I, II and III comprised, respectively, 150, 95 and 86 patients. The group I presented with higher temperature and neutrophilia (22,2±4.9 vs 20.9±4.0 and 21.1±3.9×10(9)G/L; P<0.001), and more profound eosinopenia (0.058±0.094 versus 0.098±0.170 and 0.092±0.104×10(9)G/L; P<0.001) and lymphopenia (1.16±0.98 vs 1.53±1.04 and 1.73±1.10×10(9)G/L; P<0.001) than the two other groups. Both neutrophilia and lymphopenia were independent predictors of infection by multivariate analysis. Frequencies of admission in ICU were, respectively, 8.7%, 40% and 43% (P<0.001). Leukocyte and neutrophil counts were significantly higher and basophil count significantly lower in subgroup S. Overall, 13.6% of the patients died and were characterized by basopenia. CONCLUSION Marked leukocytosis indicated severe illness. Lymphopenia, eosinopenia and temperature were significant predictors of infection. A more severe clinical course was correlated with higher neutrophilia and basopenia.

Abstract
Gaucher disease (GD), the most common lysosomal storage disorder, demonstrates an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. The genetic defect in GD leads to decreased production of the lysosomal enzyme glucosylceramide hydrolase, thereby resulting in the deposition of glucosylceramide sphingolipids within multiple organ systems. Although the precise mechanisms remain unclear, GD is usually associated with chronic antigenic stimulation and hyperimmunoglobulinaemia. We report a novel case of type I GD coexisting with relatively low serum immunoglobulins, impaired antibody production, and recurrent bacterial infections in a 62-year-old male. The patient had been diagnosed with GD 30 years previously and had subsequently started enzyme replacement therapy. Since being diagnosed with GD, the patient had suffered from repeated episodes of acute bronchitis and a recent severe bout of community-acquired pneumonia that required a lengthy hospitalization. On our initial evaluation, the patient had laboratory testing that demonstrated: decreased serum IgG, IgG2, and IgA levels; reduced absolute CD3(+)/CD4(+), CD3(+)/CD8(+), and lymphocyte counts; low IgG titres to pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine; and decreased anti-tetanus antibodies. Lymphocyte function analysis demonstrated a normal response to phytohaemagglutinin, and decreased responses to concanavalin A and pokeweed mitogen. Repeat testing after 6 months revealed normal serum immunoglobulin levels and mitogenic responses. Although the explanation for our observed transient hypogammaglobulinaemia remains unclear, this patient's clinical constellation (i.e. repeated infections, hypogammaglobulinaemia and lymphopenia, decreased post-vaccination titres, and impaired responses to some mitogens) shares overlapping features with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID).

Abstract
AbstractThe aim of this trial was to describe the behavioural, neuroendocrine, immune and acute phase stress responses in dogs undergoing elective surgery in normal, clinical practice conditions. Sixteen dogs were submitted to elective orchiectomy or ovariohysterectomy using a standardised surgical protocol. Each animal was confined to the Intensive Care Unit during pre- and post-surgery and perioperative behavioural, neuroendocrine, immune and acute phase responses were studied. Behavioural categories, cortisol, prolactin, white blood cell, C-reactive protein and haptoglobin variation were evaluated. Values at different times were compared with basal values shown by the dog in its usual environment. Communicative and explorative behaviours showed high occurrence pre-surgery and were inhibited post-surgery. Decreases in post-surgery activity, interactive behaviours and changes in waking/sleeping patterns were observed. The most sensitive marker of psychological stress, cortisol, in comparison with basal values, showed a significant increase both during pre- and post-surgery confinement in the ICU cage. Prolactin values were characterised by a significant decrease early into the post-surgery period. The immune response was characterised by long-term neutrophilia and monocytosis, but by short-term lymphopaenia and eosinopaenia, limited to the early post-operative period. With regard to the acute phase response, both C-reactive protein and haptoglobin showed a long-term increase, post-surgery. Changes in behavioural, haematological and biochemical markers showed that perioperative stress represents a major challenge to dog welfare.

Abstract
Extracorporeal support during cardiac surgery initiates an inflammatory response, causing damage to cardiac, pulmonary and renal tissue [Post Pump Syndrome (PPS)]. This is accompanied by a neutrophil leucocytosis and lymphopenia, but less is known about the role of monocytes and markers of monocyte activity. We studied 19 patients undergoing cardiac surgery, obtaining blood samples from the aortic root (AR) and from the coronary sinus ( < s) before the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), 1 min after release of the aortic crossclamp and 10 min after weaning from CPB (periods 1, 2 and 3). Leucocyte count, monocyte count and HLA-DR, CD15, CD11b and CD62L activation markers were measured. In samples obtained from the coronary sinus (CS), HLA-DR, expressed as a percentage of the monocyte count, decreased between periods 1, 2 and 3 by 78%, 66% and 43%, respectively. A similar change was observed in samples from the AR. Conversely, CD62L increased in the CS samples (55%, 68% and 73%), but revealed a lesser increase in the AR samples (51%, 68% and 63%). The other markers showed little change throughout the procedure. Reduced immunological competence could result from the decrease in HLA-DR counts. Increases in CD62L sensitizes monocytes to the tethering effects of endothelial integrins and might contribute to the atherosclerotic process.

Abstract
PURPOSE Leukocytosis is considered as an argument for infection. We have compared leukocytosis with the other data available with the white blood cell count. METHODS White blood cell counts obtained from 187 patients (age: 18 to 81 years), admitted to an emergency room for abdominal pain, were analysed using an automate (Bayer Technicon H2, Dublin, Ireland), and compared with matched healthy subjects. The patients were classified into two groups: diseases of the biliary or of the urinary tract, and subsequently in two subgroups: infectious diseases (angiocholitis, cholecystis, pyelonephritis) or non-infectious diseases (hepatic and nephritic colic). RESULTS Leukocytes and neutrophils were significantly increased, and eosinophils significantly decreased in all subjects by comparison with controls. These abnormalities were more important in infected patients. Lymphocytes were significantly decreased in infectious disease. For predicting infection, sensitivity and specificity of leukocytosis (> 1,000/mm3) were respectively 66% and 56%, while that of eosinopenia (< 100/mm3) were respectively 91% and 38%, and that of lymphopenia (< 1,200/mm3) respectively 58% and 73%. The probability of infection was less than 3% when neutrophils were less than 7,000/mm3, and eosinophils and lymphocytes respectively more than 100/mm3 and 1,200/mm3. CONCLUSION This study shows that leukocytosis, eosinopenia or lymphopenia are poor indicators of infection, when considered alone or in combination. However, eosinopenia and lymphopenia appear as better criteria of infection than leukocytosis. A detailed analysis of the white blood cell count allows the exclusion of infection with an acceptable risk of error.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cimetidine, which is usually used for gastric ulcer, enhances cellular immunity. The effect of cimetidine on perioperative proinflammatory response after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass was investigated. METHODS Elective coronary artery bypass graft cases in which CPB was performed were placed randomly in a cimetidine (C) group (n = 20) or a no-treatment (N) group (n = 20). The time course of plasma levels of neutrophil elastase, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-8, leukocyte counts, lymphocyte recovery ratio, C-reactive protein, creatine-kinase-MB, and oxygenation index were analyzed. RESULTS The plasma levels of neutrophil elastase and IL-8 were inhibited in the C groups at 2 hours after CPB termination. In a comparison of the two groups, the C group demonstrated higher lymphocyte recovery ratio and lower C-reactive protein on postoperative day 5 and shorter intubation time. No intergroup differences were observed in IL-6, leukocyte counts, creatine-kinase-MB levels, or oxygenation index. CONCLUSIONS Cimetidine may reduce surgical stress and augment the immune system after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass.
