arteritis/アルブミン

BACKGROUND This study aimed to evaluate the ratio of C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin, inflammatory markers, and parameters from the complete blood count (CBC) in patients with Takayasu arteritis and the association with disease activity. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study included

In order to investigate the relationship between inflammatory activity and pulmonary arterial changes in Takayasu arteritis and the progression of the disease, we retrospectively reviewed 110 perfusion lung scans obtained by using 99mTc-macroaggregated albumin in a total of 57 patients. The

BACKGROUND: The objective of the present study was to compare the silent form of giant cell arteritis (GCA) to the classic cephalic form of the disease. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective study based on a chart review of 50 consecutive, biopsy-proven GCA, recorded at a department of internal

OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency, characteristics, and short term outcome of patients who have biopsy-proven giant cell arteritis (GCA) but no local symptoms that can be attributed to vasculitis inflammation [silent temporal arteritis (TA)] throughout the pretreatment course of the disease or an

The aim of study was to analyse ventilation and perfusion (V/Q) lung scan findings in a series of Italian patients with Takayasu's arteritis. Eighteen consecutive patients underwent V/Q lung planar scintigraphy and single-photon emission tomography (SPET). Before perfusion scan acquisition was

The clinical, laboratory, and pathologic features of a syndrome in dogs characterized by intermittent pain, fever, neutrophilia, and necrotizing arteritis are described to alert others involved in toxicity testing to the existence of this disorder. It is considered that this idiopathic syndrome is a

Arterial catheter tip position and arterial flow was monitored by intra-arterial infusion of 99Tcm macroaggregated albumin in patients treated by intra-arterial chemotherapy. Variations in arterial flow pattern as monitored by macroaggregated albumin perfusion studies were encountered in 16 patients

A retrospective study of the histories of 100 patients with biopsy-proven giant cell arteritis was performed. Fifteen of these patients had "fever of unknown origin" as the initial manifestation of this disease. All 15 had normal leukocyte counts; however, they had significantly lower hemoglobulin

Lipid, carbohydrate and protein metabolic parameters, such as triglycerides, total and alpha-cholesterol, total protein and albumin, urea nitrogen, creatinine, glucose and the activity of alanine and aspartate aminotransferases, alkaline phosphatase, total lactate dehydrogenase and creatine

We have developed a local type experimental model of angiitisin rabbits. Repeated intracutaneous injections of erythrogenic toxins types A and C (ETA, ETC) along the intermediate auricular artery of the rabbit ear produced subacute type arteritis, characteristic of lymphocyticinfiltration,

OBJECTIVE To observe the histopathological and ultrastructural features of coronary artery vasculitis in rabbits caused by repeated intravenous injections of bovine serum albumin (BSA), mimicking Kawasaki disease. METHODS Twenty weanling rabbits were randomly and equally divided into treatment

Objectives: Secondary central nervous system vasculitis (SCNSV) is an extremely rare, refractory, and fatal disease in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). We compared the characteristics of GCA patients with and without SCNSV. Methods: This retrospective, single-center,

A case of cerebral amyloid angiopathy associated with granulomatous arteritis is presented with description of the microscopic, immunocytochemical and ultrastructural features. The amyloid proved to be of the AL-type, with failure to show reactivity with anti-AA, anti-prealbumin and anti-albumin.
