Adrenergic modulation of dendritic cells function: relevance for the immune homeostasis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The prognostic value of White Blood Cell (WBC) counts and C-reactive Protein (CRP) in clinical outcomes of Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS) patients after Intravenous Thrombolysis (IVT) remains unknown. We investigated the association of WBC counts and CRP with 3-month functional outcomes and all-cause mortality ...
