title: [Modulation of endotoxin-induced respiratory splash of granulocytes and monocytes in patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever by iodine-lithium-alpha-dextrin and sodium thiosulfate].
abstract: The effect of an endotoxin--E. coli liposaccharide (LPS) of serotype 026:B6--on the respiratory splash (RS) of neutrophils and monocytes in peripheral blood of patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) was studied. It is shown that FMF patients have a periodic increase (during an attack) and a decrease (in the period of remission) in endotoxin-induced RS of neutrophils and monocytes. LPS stimulates chemotoxis-induced RS of neutrophils and monocytes in patients both in the period of remission and during the attack equally effectively. Iodine-lithium-alpha-dextrin and sodium thiosulfate have a marked anti-endotoxic effect which manifests with quick neutralization of endotoxin activity on RS of monocytes and neutrophils in FMF patients both during the attack and remission.
