mesenteric ischemia/phosphatase

BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to investigate the diagnostic value of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) intestine-isomerase, plasma lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and D-dimer levels in acute mesenteric ischemia. METHODS Thirty Wistar rats were divided into 5 groups of 6 rats each. In Group 1,

BACKGROUND Acute mesenteric ischemia is an entity characterized by rapid developing of circulatory failure. Reperfusion following ischemia causes further mucosal injury. METHODS In our study, an experimental model of 15 minutes of reperfusion following 45 minutes of superior mesenteric artery

Mesenteric vascular occlusion and intestinal obstruction are difficult-to-diagnose medical emergencies. We evaluated a large panel of biochemical markers as diagnostic and prognostic indicators in a rat model of intestinal infarction and partial, complete, and strangulated intestinal obstruction.

Early diagnosis of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) remains very difficult, partly due to the fact that useful markers of early small bowel ischemia have not yet been identified. Thus, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the levels of serum intracellular enzymes in the tissues and organs in a

Mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening vascular emergency with high mortality rates. Mean platelet volume (MPV) has been shown to be closely related to platelet activation. We investigated whether MPV was associated with outcome of acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI). Sixty-one patients who were

Intestinal ischemia reperfusion injury (iIRI) is a severe clinical condition presenting high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Some of the systemic consequences of IRI can be prevented by applying ischemic preconditioning (IPC), a series of short ischemia/reperfusion events preceding the major

The effects of ZK 36374, a prostacyclin analogue and UK 38485, a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor were studied in guinea pigs after performing mesenteric arterial occlusion. In this study, while ZK 36374 significantly lowered the alkaline phosphatase and creatine phosphokinase values two hours after

Fibromuscular Dysplasia (FMD) is “an idiopathic, segmental, non-atherosclerotic and non-inflammatory disease of the musculature of arterial walls, leading to stenosis of small and medium-sized arteries” (Persu, et al; 2014). FMD can lead to hypertension, arterial dissections,
