Attenuated febrile response to lipopolysaccharide in rats with biliary obstruction
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Patients with biliary tract obstruction have unexplained, inordinately high rates of perioperative morbidity and mortality, whereas cholestatic animals display abnormal hypothalamic responses to pyrogenic stimuli. We asked if obstructive cholestasis was associated with abnormal fever generation. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (250 g) underwent laparotomy for implantation of thermistors and either bile duct resection (BDR) or sham operation. After recovery, temperatures were recorded by telemetry and conscious, unrestrained rats in each group were injected intraperitoneally with either interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta;1 microg/kg) or Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 50 microg/kg). Baseline temperatures in both groups were similar. Febrile responses after IL-1beta injection in BDR and sham groups were not significantly different. However, in response to LPS injection, BDR rats showed an initial hypothermia with a subsequently attenuated febrile response. Administration of anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) antibody 2 h before LPS injection blocked the LPS-induced hypothermia seen in BDR animals. However, serum levels of TNF-alpha were not significantly different between sham and BDR animals after LPS injection at any time point measured (0, 1.5, and 3 h).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
