PURPOSE: CD5+ B (B1) cell is a subpopulation of B cells and CD5+ B cells constitute a large fraction of B cells in neonates. CD5 B cells are closely related with autoimmune diseases but the roles and functions in neonates are still unknown. The quantitative changes of CD5+ B cells in neonatal infections were examined to investigate the involvement of CDS+ B cells in neonatal immune reaction to general immunologic stimuli such as infections. Methods: Ten normal neonates and eight neonates with acute febrile diseases were studied. Venous blood was drawn and mononuclear cells were separated by Ficoll-Hypaque. Half was double-stained with FITC-conjugated anti-CD5 and PE-conjugated anti-CD19, and another half with FITC-conjugated anti-CD4 and PE-conjugated anti-CD8. Stained samples were analyzed using fluorescent-activated cell sortor. ...continue...

BACKGROUND: The laparoscopy requires carbon dioxide (CO2) insufflation and Trendelenburg position for operational convenience. However, the above circumstances affect the cardiopulmonary systems significantly and intraocular pressure (IOP) may be also influenced. METHODS: In 27 non-glaucoma patients right and left intraocular pressure (RIOP, LIOP) were measured 5 minutes after induction of general anesthesia (control value), 15 and 30 minutes after CO2 insufflation and endelenburg-lithotomy position. RESULTS: The control values of RIOP and LIOP were 11.3 4.7 mmHg and 11.5 4.7 mmHg respectively. At 15 minutes after CO2 insufflation and Trendelenburg-lithotomy position, they increased to 16.6 5.3 mmHg and 17.0 5.9 mmHg (p<0.05). At 30 minutes, 18.4 3.5 mmHg and 18.2 4.1 mmHg (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: CO2 insufflation and Trendelenburg-lithotomy position increase IOP significantly in non-glaucoma patients during laparoscopy.
