The in vitro effects of perfluorocarbon (PFC) on human neutrophil activation and chemotaxis were examined. Neutrophils were incubated, with and without PFC, and were analyzed for chemotaxis through 5-microns and 8-microns pore filters. Neutrophil activation was quantitated by flow cytometry. Activation studies showed that PFC-treated neutrophil samples (n = 6) produced only 39.83% +/- 25.9% (mean +/- SD) of matched control (n = 6) fluorescence. Chemotaxis studies showed that PFC-treated neutrophil samples (n = 8) had migration of only 18.63% +/- 6.5% (of control values) of neutrophils to the outer boundary of the 5-microns filters (n = 8 controls). The 8-microns pore filter migration (n = 8) was similarly low, with a mean outer boundary migration count of only 26% +/- 19.8% of the control (n = 8) value. Thus, neutrophils exposed to perfluorocarbon produce significantly less detectable H2O2 (P < .001) and have a significantly lower chemotactic response (P < .001).

D012121 Respiration, Artificial Any method of artificial breathing that employs mechanical or non-mechanical means to force the air into and out of the lungs. Artificial respiration or ventilation is used in individuals who have stopped breathing or have RESPIRATORY INSUFFICIENCY to increase their intake of oxygen (O2) and excretion of carbon dioxide (CO2).

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.

D005466 Fluorocarbons Liquid perfluorinated carbon compounds which may or may not contain a hetero atom such as nitrogen, oxygen or sulfur, but do not contain another halogen or hydrogen atom. This concept includes fluorocarbon emulsions, and fluorocarbon blood substitutes. Perfluorinated and related polyfluorinated chemicals are referred to as PFAS and are defined as chemicals with at least two adjacent carbon atoms, where one carbon is fully fluorinated and the other is at least partially fluorinated.

D018375 Neutrophil Activation The process in which the neutrophil is stimulated by diverse substances, resulting in degranulation and/or generation of reactive oxygen products, and culminating in the destruction of invading pathogens. The stimulatory substances, including opsonized particles, immune complexes, and chemotactic factors, bind to specific cell-surface receptors on the neutrophil.
