| Research Abstract |
We have found a tendency of lowering pulmonary involvements in patients undergoing hypothermia treated with daily dexamethasone (DX) administration of 5 mg for 7 days as compared to those in historical controls undergoing normothermia without DX treatment. ThisDX effect may be mediated through neutrophil depressions, which was revealed by experiments of evaluating the effects of DX on human neutrophils in vitro and in vivo.
