Thermal injury, intravascular hemolysis, and toxic oxygen products.

Abstract

Acute thermal injury of rat skin produces an early, acute hemoglobinemia that is associated with the presence in blood of osmotically fragile red cells (RBC) that do not contain on their surfaces measurable amounts of complement components. The hemoglobinemia and the appearance in blood of osmotically fragile RBC appear to be the result of complement activation, which leads to oxygen radical production by neutrophils and damage of RBC. This has been demonstrated in vitro as well as in vivo by the ability of antioxidant interventions or neutrophil or complement depletion procedures to prevent the appearance of osmotically fragile RBC and the release of hemoglobin. These data may be relevant to the complications of hemoglobinemia and hemoglobinuria accompanying thermal injury in humans.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
