Influence of surgical stress on monocytes and complications of infection in patients with esophageal cancer--monocyte HLA-DR antigen expression and respiratory burst capacity.

Abstract excerpt

We investigated how surgical stress affects the phenotypic and functional properties of peripheral blood monocytes, especially the expression of human leukocyte antigen DR (HLA-DR), Mac-1 antigen, and respiratory burst capacity. Then, we analyzed the relation between these monocyte parameters and septic complications following esophagectomy. Increased H2O2 production (605.3 +/- 95.3 fluorescence intensity (FI) vs...
