The activation of mast cells (MC) and liberation of their mediators can play an essential role in initiating and controlling inflammatory processes in the wall of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) due to ischemia. The role of MC in changes induced by hemorrhagic shock (HS) remains unknown. Heparin
Topical application or intraperitoneal injection of heparin and heparin oligosaccharides produces a potent inhibition of skin hemostasis. Studies conducted with disaccharides derived from heparin, heparan sulfate, and chondroitin sulfates have shown that delta-4,5-uronyl-(1----4)-glucosamine,
Differences in the structure of three low molecular weight heparins (LMWHs) have been observed by applying physico-chemical methods as well as enzymatic degradation with bacterial heparinase and heparitinase II. The production of enoxaparin maintains the internal structure of the parent heparin with
We determined the disaccharide composition of dermatan sulfate (DS) purified from the skin of the electric eel Electrophorus electricus. DS obtained from the electric eel was composed of non-sulfated, mono-sulfated disaccharides bearing esterified sulfate groups at positions C-4 or C-6 of N-acetyl
The content and composition of platelet glycosaminoglycans (GAG) were studied in 24 patients with paraproteinemic hemoblastoses (22 patients with myelomic disease and 2 with Waldenstrom's disease). According to the GAG levels, the patients were divided into 2 groups: 1) 6 patients with its higher
The data pointing to morphofunctional changes in connective tissues of rats after exposure to acute experimental stress are presented. These changes were shown to be dependent on resistance of animals to emotional stress. Animals predisposed to the emotional stress developed more pronounced changes
Articular cartilage repair was followed for one year in skeletally mature dogs after destabilisation by anterior cruciate ligament transection of the stifle joint (CT), abrasion of the inferior medial condyle (ABR) to bleeding bone, or anterior cruciate transection followed by chondral abrasion
To elucidate mechanisms involved in the anti-ulcer action of cetraxate, the effects of this agent on the ulcer index (UI), fibrinolytic activity (FA) and contents of several connective tissue components in ulcer tissue were examined using aspirin- and acetic acid ulcers in rats. In aspirin ulcer,

Lythrum salicaria L. belongs to the small Lythraceae family of 22 genera, which range in habit from herbs to shrubs and trees found with worldwide distribution (Heywood, 1993). The generic name of Lythrum derived from Greek "luthron"--blood, possibly referring to the color of the flowers
Heparin is a member of the glycosaminoglycan (GAG) family composed of glucosamine and uronic acid units containing O-sulfo, N-acetyl and N-sulfo groups, which are alternating in the chain and linked by 1→4 manner. It is a naturally occurring anticoagulant that prevents the formation of clots and
Anterior cruciate ligament transection (ACLT) in the dog produces changes in the articular cartilage of the unstable knee that are consistent with those of osteoarthritis (OA). To determine whether the degrees of severity of OA cartilage changes, of synovitis, and of synovial iron deposition were
Glycoconjugates extracted from Genipa americana leaves (PE-Ga) were separated into two fractions, denominated as PFI and PFII (total carbohydrate: 23-36%/uronic acid: 9-30%; protein:4-5%; polyphenols:0.776-0.812 mg/g), mainly composed by arabinose, galactose and uronic acid and presenting high (PFI)
Heparan sulfate (HS) is a class of linear, sulfated, anionic polysaccharides, called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which present on the mammalian cell surfaces and extracellular matrix. HS GAGs display a wide range of critical biological functions, particularly in cell signaling. HS is composed of
A circulating anticoagulant was isolated from the plasma of a 42-year-old man with cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma who had an unusual coagulation test profile. The patient developed a fatal coagulopathy, unresponsive to protamine therapy or plasma exchange following liver biopsy. However, at
