Sixth, AAT inhibition of elastase can antagonize the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), a complex extracellular structure comprised of neutrophil-derived DNA, histones, and proteases, and implicated in the immunothrombosis of COVID-19; indeed, AAT has been shown to change the shape and adherence of non-COVID-19-related NETs.

The great majority of the cases we observed and those reported in the literature share the following common features: -lesions were of sudden onset in young patients without a previous history of chilblains in most of them and they were not necessarily triggered by exposure to cold; -those young patients were otherwise asymptomatic or pauci-symptomatic and only a few had mild clinical signs compatible with COVID-19; -none of them had pneumonia or severe manifestations of COVID-19; -clinical signs of COVID-19 or contact with infected persons occurred a few days to one month before chilblains; -SARS-CoV-2 infection could be demonstrated by nasopharyngeal swab or by serology only in very limited number of patients.

Although PTX is known to have broad anti-inflammatory activity, it is employed primarily in the treatment of intermittent claudication; by lessening neutrophil activation, PTX renders these cells more distensible, so that they can more readily pass through narrow capillaries in affected legs.

      flesch: 29
     summary: Supported by an extensive bibliographic review highlighting (i) the mode of binding of SARS-CoV-2 to cell receptors, as well as (ii) the biochemical aspects of ABO blood group system and its association to infection and some circulatory conditions, we hypothesize that the influence of blood type on COVID-19 severity relies on the differential clustering of glycoproteins receptors to SARS-CoV-2 on host cell surface, induced by ABH antigens through carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions with the glycan portions of these receptors, which could modulate virus binding to the target cell. In summary, this work proposes that the molecular mechanism underlying the influence of ABO blood groups on COVID-19 susceptibility and severity relies on carbohydrate-carbohydrate interactions between ABH antigens and sialoside glycans present on host cell receptors.

     summary: In conclusion, Allium sativum may be an acceptable preventive measure against COVID-19 infection to boost immune system cells and to repress the production and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines as well as an adipose tissue derived hormone leptin having the proinflammatory nature. Decreased immune system cells such as suppressed regulatory T cells, cytotoxic and helper T cells, natural killer cells, monocytes/macrophages and increased proinflammatory cytokines are the characteristic features.

     summary: Though it is intuitively tempting, on the basis of physiopathological common knowledge, to predict a greater risk of contracting the SARS-CoV-2 infection in tobacco smokers, an analysis of studies from various countries shows that hospitalized COVID-19 patients have a lower, and apparently inversely proportional, rate of current tobacco smoking, in comparison with the respective general population, although once the disease has developed meta-analyses suggest that smoking is associated with a worse prognosis Apart from nicotine or other chemicals contained in tobacco smoke, we propose that a single-stranded RNA virus that infects tobacco leaves, tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), might be implicated in this effect.

     summary: (39) COVID-19 replication and SIRT1 SIRT1 not only controls and modifies the inflammatory response, but along with the Sirtuin family (SIRT1-7) is also a primary defence against DNA and RNA viral pathogens. COVID-19: NAD + deficiency may predispose the aged, obese and type2 diabetics to mortality through its effect on SIRT1 activity We hypothesize that reduced Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NAD + ) levels with consequent deficient activity of the NAD + dependent molecule SIRT1, which modulates cytokine production, may be the factor that predisposes the aged, obese, type 2 diabetics and other vulnerable groups to an increased mortality.

     summary: Eleven T and B lymphocyte tests were used to analyze the changes of specific immune cells. Immune cells are able to clear the pathogen without causing a severe inflammatory response, resulting in covert infection or mild to moderate symptoms with short course, which is called immune fitness (41) .The severity of the infection is not necessarily related to the load of infection, but rather to host fitness, the balance between killing the pathogen and tolerance.

The mechanism of blood clotting is like a two-edged sword, wherein the case of severe external injury, clotting is very crucial for preventing the blood loss, whereas, in the case of internal blood vessels injury, it, unfortunately, leads to the formation of blood clots, causing vascular blockades and thrombosis, expanding to every organ leading to severe and fatal outcomes.

     summary: Therefore individuals with greater expression of tissue ACE, and consequently, greater production of Ang II, will present a decrease in tissue ACE2 and an increase in soluble ACE2 (systemic), due to greater activation of ADAM17 and ACE2 cleavage. Thus, due to higher levels of circulating ACE2, men may present a lower level of tissue ACE2, becoming more vulnerable to local SARS imbalance after SARS-Cov-2 infection.

       title: Empiric Antibiotics in Management of Inpatient Pregnant Women Infected with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): Focusing on Inflammation and Preterm Labor
        date: 2020-09-12
       words: 870
      flesch: 32
     summary: However, we have highlighted that the use of antibiotics in the absence of bacterial infection might result in the release of pro-inflammatory cytokine and therefore, an inflammatory storm. During this endotoxemia, the activation of toll-like receptors (TLRs) cause the release/expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)), chemokines, prostaglandins, and proteases which are involved in preterm labor.

     summary: It is hypothesized that having protein interaction motifs that are homologous to these S. aureus proteins, the N-protein of this virus can mimic their functions, which may in turn play a crucial role in formation of blood clots in the host and help the virus evade host immune response. key: cord-314679-lmfalzni authors: Sangith, Nikhil; Diagnotek, Xact title: Unique Fibrinogen-binding motifs in the Nucleocapsid Phosphoprotein of SARS CoV-2: Potential Implications in Host-Pathogen Interactions date: 2020-06-24 journal:

     summary: These negative effects can be associated too with an impaired expression of molecules involved in the inflammatory response and with both glucose metabolism and NO synthesis, as has been reported in the subjects with FH-DM2; paralleling the recent findings in COVID-19 patients, in whom a total of 70 inflammation-related genes that influence cell metabolism has been reported [11, 29, 30, 31, 35] . Currently, it is known that endothelial cell dysfunction is a critical event in the infection by this virus.

     summary: Finally, independent support for DHA application is found in an isolated report that describes the antifungal activity of DHA to treat dermatomycosis(18) further highlighting potential biocidal activity. DHA reacts chemically with proteins to form glycation products and thus would be expected to react analogously with viral components such that it might provide prophylactic action against anti-SARS-CoV-2.

     summary: At the same time, Ang II is considered to function as a growth factor that regulates cell proliferation/apoptosis and fibrosis, as well as a mediator that attracts inflammatory cells to sites of tissue injury [19] . By contrast, Tregs attenuate the activation, proliferation, and effector functions of a wide range of immune cells for the maintenance of auto-tolerance and immune homeostasis

     summary: Other than SARS-CoV-2 induced vascular endothelial dysfunction ACE2 mediated injury of liver tissue can also contribute to vascular thrombosis. Viral inclusion structures, an accumulation of inflammatory cells associated with endothelium, as well as apoptotic bodies were evidenced in vascular endothelial cells of multiple organs in 6 autopsied patients (28) , indicating for the widespread endothelial dysfunction as the etiology for the vascular thrombosis in COVID-19 (29) .
