Azithromycin Clears Bordetella pertussis Infection in Mice but Also Modulates Innate and Adaptive Immune Responses and T Cell Memory.

abstract：:Introduction: Aerobic exercise improves lung inflammation in acute lung injury (ALI), but its mechanism remains unknown. Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play an important role in LPS-induced ALI, and a positive correlation exists between NET formation and proinflammatory macrophage polarization. This study inves...
