bronchitis/carbohydrate

Acidic glycoproteins having blood group H activity were isolated from the sputum of two patients suffering from chronic bronchitis by reduction of the fibrillar mucus, chromatography on ECTEOLA-cellulose and gel filtration on Sepharose 4-B. These glycoproteins were degraded with alkaline borohydride

Carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) is the most frequently applied serum tumor marker for diagnosis of cancers in the digestive organs. However, some patients with benign diseases can have elevated serum levels of CA19-9 as well. The current study presents a 55-year-old female who was admitted to our

Mucin glycopeptides were prepared from the respiratory mucus of a non-secretor, chronic bronchitis patient with blood group O, Le(a)+b-. Oligosaccharides were released by alkaline borohydride treatment and purified by anion-exchange chromatography, size-exclusion chromatography and high-performance

Purification of egg-grown infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) by sucrose density gradient centrifugation alone, or sucrose density gradient centrifugation plus pH 8.0 treatment, concanavalin A precipitation or metrizamide density gradient centrifugation, failed to produce any differences in the virus

Density-gradient analysis was used to follow the transition from normal to hypersecretory bronchial mucus in a model of bronchitis induced in dogs by chronic exposure to SO2 gas. Aspirates of saline bronchial lavage were obtained by fiberoptic bronchoscopy from dogs before, during a 6- to 9-month

Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is a glycoprotein and a member of the C-type lectin super family, the collectin family, and the acute phase protein family. The MBL exerts its function by directly binding to microbial surfaces through its carbohydrate recognition domains, followed by direct opsonization

The purpose of the study was to evaluate intestinal absorption of fats, proteins and carbohydrates in patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) depending on the functional condition of the lungs, and clinical manifestation of its disorder. Fat, protein and carbohydrate absorption was

Using affinity chromatography on concanavalin A (Con A) sepharose CL 6B, a carbohydrate-containing fraction was derived from Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv sonicate. Surprisingly, the main component of Con A fraction was a protein having a molecular weight of a 30-kD range which is generally

The most acidic carbohydrate chains released by alkaline borohydride treatment of the bulk of airway mucins secreted by a patient (blood group O, secretor) suffering from a mildly infected chronic bronchitis have been fractionated using high-performance anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC)

Serum tumor markers are useful for post-operative follow up, however, they are not necessarily useful for early stage diagnosis. Because the lesion is so small that it is unable to detect a tiny amount of their molecules in serum. If we could detect those antigens directly in cells from cytological

Mucin glycopeptides were prepared from the respiratory mucus of a non-secretor, chronic bronchitis patient with blood group O, Le(a+b-). Oligosaccharides were released by alkaline-borohydride treatment and purified by anion-exchange chromatography, size exclusion chromatography, and HPLC on a

Sputum from patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis has been fractionated on Sepharose columns after treatment with urea 6 mol/l at pH 12.5 followed by neutralization. The "mucin" fraction, which contained 70% carbohydrate and 30% protein was studied in the electron microscope after staining

Quantitative histoenzymatic determination based on early autopsy material was introduced for evaluation of oxidoreductase and hydrolytic enzymes activity in alveolar macrophages (AM) and alveolar epithelial cells (AEC) of the lungs in chronic catarrhal (CC) and chronic purulent (CP) bronchitis with
