peritonitis/프롤린

The development of acute peritonitis in rats induced by intraperitoneal injection of thioglycollate was accompanied by a decrease in contractile function of mesenteric lymphatic vessels and impaired response to norepinephrine. Administration of proline-containing peptides after induction of

Systemic sepsis is associated with reduced mesenteric blood flow and impairment of metabolic and barrier functions of the small intestine. A study was performed in the rat to investigate the effect of sepsis induced by caecal ligation and double puncture on intestinal absorption of leucine and

This study was aimed at investigating the effect of prolyl-glycyl-proline (PGP) tripeptide on vascular permeability in rats with an inflammation. It was found that the peptide reduces the rat paw edema induced by a subcutaneous administration of histamine to the same extent as the conventional

A prospective and randomized study was performed in 18 patients with septic peritonitis to investigate the behavior of free amino acids in serum before and during parenteral nutrition with 2 different amino acid solutions. One group received a so called "liver-solution" with 45% branched chain amino

An experimental randomized prospective study was carried out in 64 dogs to evaluate the effect of intraluminal fecal matter at the anastomosis with/without peritonitis on the healing of a colonic anastomosis. The animals, none of whom had bowel preparation, were randomized in four groups: group I

BACKGROUND The effects of glutamine (Gln)-enriched enteral diets on bacterial clearance were investigated in a rat protracted peritonitis model. The effects of the Gln form, peptide-based vs free amino acid-based, were also compared. METHODS Twenty-three rats underwent gastrostomy. An osmotic pump

Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitors alleviate the adverse effects of nitric oxide (NO) overproduction that occurs during peritonitis, a clinical condition that is accompanied by arginine deficiency. However, the variations in the disease severity and the dosage, route, and period of NOS inhibitor

OBJECTIVE Peritonitis is a life-threatening condition that may occur as a sequela of intra-abdominal infection. The management of peritonitis includes surgical intervention, antimicrobial therapy, and nutritional support. Arginine has been reported to have beneficial and adverse effects in subjects

Deficient production of nitric oxide may be responsible for the defective defense barrier and persistence of bacterial infection. To gain insight into amino acid-metabolism and L-arginine-nitric oxide system, we studied 34 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on peritoneal dialysis (PD) (20

BACKGROUND Sideroxylon obtusifolium (Roem. & Schult.) T.D. Penn., Sapotaceae family, is a medicinal species native to the Brazilian Northeastern region. The plant is popularly used as an anti-inflammatory and hypoglycemic. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the anti-inflammatory properties of the

Peritoneal fibrosis in patients on peritoneal dialysis is the result of interstitial collagen accumulation within the peritoneal membrane and in mural spaces. Hypothetically, collagen expression by target cells may be regulated by specific endoperitoneal factors, though the existence of such factors

BACKGROUND Peritoneal fibrosis (PF) is one of the most serious complications after long-term continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Proliferation of human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC) and matrix over-production are regarded as the main processes predisposing to PF. Dipyridamole

BACKGROUND Peritoneal fibrosis is a long-term complication following continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD). Peritoneal fibroblasts may play an important role in peritoneal fibrosis. Up to now, the treatment of peritoneal fibrosis in patients with CAPD remains unsatisfactory.
