Neutrophils obtained from peripheral blood of renal allograft recipients were studied for their ability to kill Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as to enhance intracellular metabolism measured by the reduction of NBT salts. In addition, the influence of sera these patients on normal cells was investigated. At the same time, these cells were also tested for candidacidal activity. The data derived from these studies indicate that phagocytic cells from these patients are impaired with respect to their capacity to fight the pathogenic microorganisms as well as their sera do not promote normal killing of microorganisms, while the NBT reaction is not changed significantly. Large doses of steroids and rejection crises do not appear to affect dramatically these functions, while an ATG therapy abolishes neutrophil killing ability. 相似文献

Background: Gastrin and its precursor, progastrin, are synthesized in the stomach, particularly when infected with Helicobacter pylori , and they are metabolized, at least in part, in the liver. However, little is known about their levels in various hepatic diseases. Methods: This study was carried out on 147 patients including chronic hepatitis B ( n r = r 35), hepatitis C ( n r = r 52) and liver cirrhosis ( n r = r 60) of class A ( n r = r 38), class B ( n r = r 15) and class C ( n r = r 7) (Child-Pugh classification) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls ( n r = r 65). The diagnosis of chronic hepatitis was confirmed by liver biopsy in all patients, whereas the diagnosis of liver cirrhosis was based on clinical and laboratory findings. Liver biopsy was done in 38 out of 60 patients. Blood samples were collected under basal conditions and separated plasma samples were kept frozen at m 70°C until radioimmunoassay of progastrin and its products, including bioactive amidated gastrins. Results: Median (range) plasma concentrations of total progastrin product and amidated gastrin in control subjects were 147.5 (73-345) pM and 33 (15-65), respectively. These concentrations in hepatitis B and C were not significantly different from those in controls. In cirrhosis (classes A, B and C), the concentrations of the progastrin and of gastrin were significantly ( P r < r 0.05) higher than in controls reaching, respectively, 253.5 (135-683 r pM) and 47.5 (17-385) pM. Both progastrin and gastrin levels were significantly higher in H. pylori -positive than in negative cirrhotic patients. Antibodies against H. pylori were present in about 50% of controls, 68% of hepatitis B, 57% of hepatitis C and in 83% in cirrhosis patients. The difference in H. pylori prevalence between cirrhosis and controls was statistically significant. Conclusions: Plasma levels of progastrin and gastrin are significantly increased in cirrhotic patients and this could be attributed to reduced metabolism of these peptides in liver cirrhosis and to their increased release due to H. pylori infection rate in this disease. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Local mechanisms are involved in the postprandial regulation of ileal tone in healthy subjects, but whether these mechanisms affect the postprandial tonic response of ileal pouches has not yet been investigated. AIMS: To study the effect of a meal on pouch tone and phasic motor activity in patients with gut continuity or ileostomy and, in the latter group, the effect of a pouch perfusion with chyme or saline. PATIENTS: Twenty patients with ileal pouches: 10 with gut continuity and 10 with ileostomy. METHODS: Pouch tone and the frequency of phasic volume events were recorded with a barostat under fasting and postprandial conditions and after perfusion of the isolated pouch with chyme or saline. RESULTS: The meal increased pouch tone and the frequency of phasic volume events in the patients with gut continuity, but not in those with ileostomy. Pouch perfusion with chyme induced a greater increase in pouch tone than saline. CONCLUSIONS: The meal stimulated pouch tone and phasic motor activity. These effects were at least partially related to local pouch stimulation by intraluminal contents. 相似文献

The elastic properties of human canine and supporting alveolar bone are measured by the distribution of localized speed of sound using scanning acoustic microscopy. Methods for the dynamic, non-destructive diagnostics of dental hard tissues can have a key role in the early detection of demineralization processes and carious lesions, and they are supposed to open the possibility of early dental restorations. The localized distribution of the ultrasound velocity in canine tooth and alveolar bone was obtained using scanning acoustic microscopy with a 5- and 30-MHz transducer. An acoustic material signature curve signifies the interference of the waves and quantitatively maps the localized speed of sound in alveolar bone and the canine tooth. Seven samples, consisting of alveolar jawbone and tooth sliced along the coronally apical axis, were investigated. The average speed of sound was determined along three independent cross sections at enamel, dentin and cortical bone. The average speed of sound in enamel, bone and dentin was SD 3460 ± 193 m/s, 3232 ± 113 m/s and 2928 ± 106 m/s. The distribution of sound wave propagation reveals a decrease in sound speed from the peripheral parts within the enamel and dentin layers toward the proximal zones. These results prove the possibility of linking the elastic properties to different areas within the osseous and dental hard tissues and visualize them in an extremely high local resolution. The results serve as a basis for further study and substantiate the enormous potential of ultrasound based analysis in the field of dento-alveolar diagnosis. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Intermittent distention of the rectum induces internal anal sphincter relaxation, but whether continuous rectal distention might affect the resting pressure of the anal canal and the frequency of internal anal sphincter relaxations has not yet been investigated. The aim of this study was to record anal pressure under resting conditions and at two levels of continuous rectal distention. METHODS: Anal pressure was recorded by means of water-perfused catheters under resting conditions and at two levels of rectal distention controlled by an electronic barostat in eight healthy subjects. RESULTS: Continuous rectal distention did not significantly change mean anal resting pressure, but it did significantly decrease the amplitude of ultraslow waves (from 29±9 mmHg under resting conditions to 23±6 and 21±3 mmHg during lesser and greater rectal distention;P=0.017 andP=0.012, respectively) and increase the frequency of internal anal sphincter relaxations (from 1.3±1.3/hour under resting conditions to 8.8±4.3/hour and 11.0±4.8/hour during lesser and greater distention;P=0.012 in both comparisons). CONCLUSIONS: The resting pressure of the anal canal is maintained during continuous rectal distention. The decreased amplitude of ultraslow waves and increased frequency of the internal anal sphincter relaxations induced by rectal distention reveal a complex functional relationship between the rectum and the anal canal.Supported by the Associazione Amici della Gastroenterologia del Padiglione Granelli and the CARIPLO Foundation. 相似文献

Pseudothrombocytopenia in four patients has been described. It was due to platelet "++EDTA-dependent" antibodies. The number of platelets was described only in EDTA blood while the number was normal when platelet were evaluated in citrate blood. The importance of distinguishing pseudothrombocytopenia from thrombocytopenia is discussed, especially in view of unnecessary treatment, delayed operation etc. 相似文献

Background
To evaluate retinal ganglion cell (RGC) function after intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction measured by pattern electroretinogram (PERG) in patients with newly diagnosed, non-treated preperimetric and early stages of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).Methods
Twenty-four eyes from 24 patients with POAG: 11 eyes with preperimetric glaucoma and 13 eyes with early glaucoma received Ganfort ® (bimatoprost + timolol) once a day for a period of 1 month. Before and after the treatment, following measurements were analyzed: IOP, mean ocular perfusion pressure (MOPP), peak time of P50 and amplitude of P50 and N95 waves in PERG (ISCEV standard 2012). Correlations between PERG P50 and N95 waves, IOP and MOPP were calculated.Results
After therapy, IOP significantly decreased in all eyes, on average 31%. Significant increase in MOPP in all eyes on average 14% was detected. PERG amplitude of P50 and N95 waves increased in 75 and 79% eyes, respectively, on average P50 by 28% and N95 by 38%. There were no significant interactions between the change of PERG parameters in time and stage of glaucoma.Conclusions
Significant IOP-lowering therapy can improve RGC function measured by PERG, in patients with preperimetric and early stages of POAG.10.
