| Abstract |
Intravenous administration of activated protein C (APC) inhibits coagulation and inflammation in the lungs of humans and animals. Investigations in rodents demonstrated that direct intrapulmonary delivery of APC also exerts anticoagulant and anti-inflammatory effects. The effect of intrabronchial administration of recombinant human (rh)APC on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced haemostatic and inflammatory alterations in the bronchoalveolar space of humans was studied. Eight subjects received rhAPC via intrabronchial instillation by bronchoscope, while in a contralateral subsegment subjects received saline; all subjects were challenged bilaterally with LPS in the same lung subsegments. Four additional subjects received rhAPC (75 μg), with saline as a control in the contralateral subsegment, while they were bilaterally "challenged" with saline. After 6 h a bronchoalveolar lavage was performed and coagulation and inflammatory parameters were measured. rhAPC enhanced LPS-induced coagulation activation in the bronchoalveolar space, when compared with the control side. In addition, rhAPC amplified LPS-induced pro-inflammatory responses, as indicated by higher concentrations of cytokines and chemokines. rhAPC alone did not have procoagulant or pro-inflammatory effects. Locally administered rhAPC has unexpected procoagulant and pro-inflammatory effects in LPS-challenged lung subsegments. These data argue against a role for intrapulmonary delivery of rhAPC as a treatment strategy for lung inflammatory disorders in humans. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 November 2012.
All research outputs
#15,256,901
of 22,687,320 outputs
Outputs from European Respiratory Journal
#6,719
of 8,515 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#108,193
of 172,673 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Respiratory Journal
#58
of 87 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,687,320 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 8,515 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.6. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 172,673 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 87 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
