gastroenteritis/phosphatase

OBJECTIVE To compare expression, activity, and fecal concentration of intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) between healthy dogs and dogs with chronic enteropathy (CE). ANIMALS 9 healthy university-owned Beagles and 109 healthy client-owned dogs (controls) and 28 dogs with CE (cases). PROCEDURES

We studied bone mineral metabolism changes complicated by acute gastroenteritis in a clinical acute metabolic acidosis milieu where we observed hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, and elevated urinary hydroxyproline excretion. Serum magnesium and plasma osteocalcin, alkaline phosphatase, and IGF-1 levels

The presence of many enteropathogens which are not easily detectable by routine stool culture has led to the development of alternative diagnostic methods. One of these techniques, nucleic acid probe hybridization, has been used to identify Shigella spp. and enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) in

An alkaline phosphatase-conjugated synthetic oligodeoxyribonucleotide probe was compared with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) detection of rotavirus RNA as well as an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of rotavirus in stools from young children with

This study identifies the in vitro differences (markers) between virulent and attenuated transmissible gastroenteritis (TGE) viruses. Exposure of virulent Miller strain and attenuated Purdue strain TGE viruses to a spectrum of acidities indicated that the Miller strain was more stable at pH 2.

The effect of soy protein on the small bowel mucosa of 18 infants with acute gastroenteritis was studied. The infants were maintained on a protein hydrolysate formula for 6-8 weeks, following which they were readmitted for soy protein challenge studies. Jejunal biopsy was performed before and 24 h

From 1997 to 1999 seven isolates of Campylobacter-like organisms from five patients that were exhibiting symptoms of gastroenteritis, including fever, stomach malaise, and diarrhea, were investigated. The organisms were isolated from stool samples and found to exhibit a diverse colony morphology;

The purpose of this study was to investigate clinical and metabolic effects of combined parenteral and oral nutrition compared with parenteral nutrition in young dogs with haemorrhagic gastroenteritis in a prospective clinical study. Dogs with acute gastroenteritis received either parenteral

Deoxynivalenol (DON) contamination of cereal crops occurs frequently, and may cause acute exposure at high levels or chronic more moderate exposure. DON has proven toxicity including restriction of enterocyte differentiation, which may play a part in DON induced gastroenteritis. The probiotic

The SH2 domain-containing inositol 5'-phosphatase, SHIP, negatively regulates various hematopoietic cell functions and is critical for maintaining immune homeostasis. However, whether SHIP plays a role in controlling bacterial infections in vivo remains unknown. Salmonella enterica causes human

Due to the possibility of underlying hepatobiliaryor bone diseases, the diagnostic work up of a child with elevated alkaline phosphatase (AP) levels can be quite costly. In a significant proportion of these patients, elevated AP is benign, requiring no intervention: hence, known as transient

The replicase polyproteins, pp1a and pp1ab, of porcine Transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV) have been predicted to be cleaved by viral proteases into 16 non-structural proteins (nsp). Here, enzymic activities residing in the amino-proximal region of nsp3, the largest TGEV replicase processing

The marine bacterium Vibrio parahaemolyticus causes gastroenteritis in humans and encodes the type III effector protein VPA0450, which contributes to host cell death caused by autophagy, cell rounding, and cell lysis. We found that VPA0450 is an inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase that hydrolyzed

TnphoA transposon insertion mutants of phoN-negative derivatives of Salmonella typhimurium TML (of human gastroenteritic origin) were selected by growing mutagenized recipient bacteria under a variety of growth conditions. Ninety-seven individual mutants, which expressed alkaline phosphatase, were
