proteinase/infarction

A multimarker approach may be useful for risk stratification in AMI (acute myocardial infarction) patients, particularly utilizing pathways that are pathophysiologically distinct. Our aim was to assess the prognostic value of PR3 (proteinase 3) in patients post-AMI. We compared the prognostic value

To test the hypothesis that cellular proteinases contribute to ischemic myocellular death, measurements were made of tyrosine release (an index of overall proteolysis) from incubated slices of nonischemic and ischemic myocardium obtained at various times after coronary artery occlusion in rats.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes in the content of plasma matrix metallo proteinase-9 (MMP-9) in patients with acute cerebral infarction before and after thrombolytic therapy and its clinical significance. METHODS The levels of MMP-9 were determined in 34 patients with acute cerebral infarction

OBJECTIVE to study changes of serum levels of nonspecific proteinases, their inhibitors, and proinflammatory cytokines during short term observation of patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS We included in this prospective short-term study 82 patients (27 with uncomplicated non-Q

The authors analyze data of determination of alpha 1 proteinase inhibitor in patients with myocardial infarction depending on the severity of the disease. It is suggested that the quantitative values of alpha 1 proteinase inhibitors of the blood plasma may be used in the diagnosis and prognosis of

Secreted Frizzled-related proteins (sFRPs) have emerged as key regulators of a wide range of developmental and disease processes. Most of the known functions of mammalian sFRPs have been attributed to their ability to antagonize Wnt signalling. Recently however, Xenopus laevis and zebrafish sFRP,

The objective of this study was to elucidate the association between the polymorphism of stromelysin-1, also called matrix metalloproteinases-3 (MMP-3), and smoking in the pathogenesis of young acute myocardial infarction (MI). Plaque rupture is well established as a critical factor in the

Our experiments have shown that in cats in the early phase after experimental myocardial infarction, the volume of extravascular fluid increases in the lungs while the intravascular volume decreases. A hemoconcentration developed with increased hematocrit and a fall in plasma volume. The thrombocyte

OBJECTIVE There are indications that acute myocardial infarction (AMI) may have an effect on the oral environment, which is reflected in the expression of salivary and gingival proteinases. According to our knowledge, no studies have been carried out to investigate the effect of AMI on the

The purposes of this study were to investigate the sequential changes of PMN elastase during evolving myocardial infarction, and also to ascertain whether or not ulinastatin (UL), a clinically useful protease inhibitor, would affect the extent of ischemic myocardial injury. The levels of plasma PMN
