Low levels of functional of alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor in the promotion of C3-cleavage by granulocyte-neutral proteases in pleural empyema.

Only registered users can translate articles

It has been suggested that C3 breakdown by granulocyte-neutral proteases in pleural empyemas may be related to a decreased inhibitor potential for these enzymes. In the present study it was shown that in 17 infected pleural effusions, high proteolytic activity on 125I-labeled C3 (16.3% +/- 4.4%)

Alpha 1-protease inhibitor in serous effusions: differences in lectin crossed immuno-affinoelectrophoresis precipitin profiles between benign and malignant disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Differences in the lectin crossed immuno-affinoelectrophoresis (LCIE) precipitin profile of the antiprotease alpha 1-protease inhibitor (alpha 1-PI) have been detected between serous effusions of benign and malignant origin. Extra proteins with antigenicity towards anti-human alpha 1-PI appear in

Aberrant splicing and protease involvement in mesothelin release from epithelioid mesothelioma cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Elevated amounts of soluble mesothelin-related proteins (SMRP) have already been reported in sera and pleural effusions from mesothelioma patients, providing a useful diagnostic marker for malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM). However, the origin of SMRP is not yet understood. Production of SMRP

Marked effect of octreotide acetate in a case of pancreatic pleural effusion.

Only registered users can translate articles

A pancreaticopleural effusion is a rare complication of chronic pancreatitis. Fasting, a protease inhibitor, and/or a surgical intervention are generally selected for the treatment of the pancreatic effusion. We reported here the case, in which octreotide acetate was effective for resolving

Clinical role of pleural effusion MMP-3 levels in malignant pleural mesothelioma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is an aggressive malignant tumor of mesothelial origin associated with asbestos exposure. MPM exhibits a limited response to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This, early diagnosis of MPM is essential. Malignant tumor progression requires the

Assessment of circulating N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide concentration to differentiate between cardiac from noncardiac causes of pleural effusion in cats.

OBJECTIVE To determine the diagnostic ability of blood N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) measurement to differentiate between congestive heart failure (CHF) and noncardiogenic causes for moderate to severe pleural effusion in cats. METHODS Prospective observational

Depletion of mitochondrial protease OMA1 alters proliferative properties and promotes metastatic growth of breast cancer cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

Metastatic competence of cancer cells is influenced by many factors including metabolic alterations and changes in mitochondrial biogenesis and protein homeostasis. While it is generally accepted that mitochondria play important roles in tumorigenesis, the respective molecular events that regulate

Cleavage of C3 by neutral proteases from granulocytes in pleural empyema.

The possibility of direct inactivation of C3 by granular enzymes from polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs) in pleural empyema was examined. As a group, pleural empyema from 10 patients with purulent effusions and a positive bacteriologic culture cleaved significantly more 125I-labeled C3 bound to

[A pancreatico-bronchial fistula with right hydropneumothorax].

Only registered users can translate articles

A 39-year-old heavy drinker was admitted to Saga Medical School Hospital on February 21th, 1987. He had suffered from dyspnea, chest pain and lumbago three weeks prior to admission. His chest X-ray showed right hydropneumothorax and right lower lobe atelectasis and his CT scan showed a cystic lesion

Comparative studies on monoclonal antibodies raised against human gastric cancer for application to serum diagnosis of cancer.

Only registered users can translate articles

Four murine MoAbs, KM191(IgM), KM206(IgM), KM230(IgG1) and KM231(IgG1), against human gastric cancer were generated using mice which underwent tolerance treatment to stomach tissues. They exhibited very similar high reactivities to stomach adenocarcinoma cells and low reactivities to normal cells in

Altered expression of metastasis-associated and regulatory molecules in effusions from breast cancer patients: a novel model for tumor progression.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to characterize phenotypic alterations along the progression of breast carcinoma from primary tumor to pleural effusion through analysis of the expression of proteases, laminin receptors (LRs), and transcription factors involved in invasion and

Same day drainage and removal of a giant ovarian cyst.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE An unusual case of a giant ovarian cyst was successfully anaesthetized with a combination of epidural followed by general anaesthesia. The method was chosen to avoid circulatory depression and re-expansion pulmonary oedema in removal of a giant tumour in a woman who did not understand the

MOC-31 aids in the differentiation between adenocarcinoma and reactive mesothelial cells.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Evaluation of effusion specimens for the presence of adenocarcinoma often is complicated by the presence of reactive mesothelial cells that can mimic adenocarcinoma. Ancillary studies, in particular immunohistochemistry, can be helpful in making this distinction. MOC-31 is an antibody

[A case of pulmonary, pleural, and renal tuberculosis associated with DIC and a prolonged increase in D-dimer].

Only registered users can translate articles

A 26-year-old male who had been diagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis three years ago with an antituberculous chemotherapy of only two months, complained of tiredness, exertional dyspnea and fever since a month ago. Bloody sputum, bloody stool and hematuria have developed three days before admission.
