Unlike endophthalmitis in adults, neonatal cases are overwhelmingly as a result of an endogenous source of infection.
We had three patients with endogenous source of infection who had polymicrobial infection, and all three had unfavorable visual outcome.
Satellite stem cells represent the endogenous source of regenerative potential in adult muscle after injury and in the context of chronic degenerative diseases.
Cows were treated with prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) to eliminate the endogenous source of P4, and two intravaginal progesterone-releasing devices (CIDR) were inserted into each cow for a period of 8 days.
On the basis of recent findings, we propose that intestinal citrulline and arginine synthesis (the major endogenous source of arginine) is limited in preterm neonates owing to the limited expression of the genes for key enzymes (e.g., pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase, argininosuccinate synthase and lyase), thereby contributing to hypoargininemia.
WBCs thus represent an endogenous source of NO.
In conclusion, our data defines mast cells as a novel endogenous source of IL-33.
Another possible endogenous source of cyanate is the dissociation of carbamoyl phosphate [37], which servers as a precursor for arginine and pyrimidine synthesis [38], [39].
In plants, one possible endogenous source of cyanate is involved in metabolism pathway of cyanide compounds[23], such as cyanide [30] and thiocyanate [31].
Additionally, intravenous administration of lentivirus causes infection of tissues known to be enriched in human immune cells, including the spleen and bone marrow[5], or which function as an endogenous source of IL-7, such as the liver[22].
Although bacteria may encounter NFZ as an antibiotic in the treatment of infections [71], we are still left with the question: what is the endogenous source of N2-dG lesions?
