In vivo interaction of pulmonary intravascular macrophages with activated platelets in microvessels of equine lung after multiple exposures to halothane, isoflurane, and thiamylal: A comparative ultrastructural and cytochemical study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The pulmonary intravascular macrophages (PIMs) of equines contain a unique electron-dense surface coat that is predominantly composed of lipoproteins. A single exposure of inhalatory halothane causes mobilization of the surface coat into the endocytotic system of the PIMs, followed by expansion of the Golgi apparatus and its enrichment with acid phosphatase. Simultaneously, the cells of the lymphocytic series show hyperplasia in the form of mitotic changes inside the microvascular compartment of the lung. Halothane is known to cause acute and chronic hepatotoxicity because of its biotransformation into trifluoroacytelated polypeptides. The present study was designed to examine the comparative effects of reexposures of inhalatory doses of halothane, isoflurane, and the intravenous barbiturate thiamylal sodium in ponies to evoke a stronger response in the PIMs after four exposures at increasing intervals of 1, 2, and 6 weeks. Ultrastructural and cytochemical evidence is presented that halothane induced translocation of the surface coat into the vacuolar system of the PIMs, followed by expansion of the Golgi apparatus and its enrichment with acid phosphatase. The cell membrane was thrown into extraordinary lamellipodial extensions, which enabled the PIMs to interact with platelets within the narrow confines of the pulmonary capillaries. The relationship between PIMs and platelets developed into large platelet aggregates. Isoflurane and thiamylal sodium did not affect the circulating platelets, although the surface coat was translocated into the endolysosomes in both situations. Although isoflurane is a lipid-soluble inhalant anesthetic similar to halothane, it is subject to very little biotransformation after use and in the present model demonstrates no immune response.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
