To assess the frequency of venous thromboembolism (VTE) events in the Rituximab in Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody (ANCA)-Associated Vasculitis (RAVE) trial and identify novel potential risk factors.VTE events in 197 patients enrolled in the RAVE trial A pharmacokinetic model is described for testing of polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) elastase inhibitors administered by intratracheal or aerosol dosing of hamsters. Acute lung injury, measured as hemorrhage occurring within hours after intratracheal instillation of human PMN elastase, correlated
The complete amino acid sequence of and the locations of disulfide bridges in H2-proteinase, a major non-hemorrhagic proteinase isolated from the venom of the habu Trimeresurus flavoviridis, have been determined and compared with those of HR2a, one of the hemorrhagic metalloproteinases in this
In patients with severe head injury or multiple trauma a multitude of inflammatory mediators are released. As in cerebral bleeding, elevations of body temperature can be observed even in the absence of bacterial infections. In order to evaluate the diagnostic significance of plasma elastase levels
Cerebral vasospasm is one of the major complications of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The prevention and treatment of cerebral vasospasm thus plays a critical role in the management of SAH patients. However, the mechanism of cerebral vasospasm still remains elusive, while effective therapeutic
OBJECTIVE
Cerebral vasospasm is one of the major complications of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Its pathogenesis still remains elusive, and effective therapeutic strategies are yet to be established. We investigated the role of proteinase-activated receptor-1 (PAR1) in the hypercontractile state in
Low molecular weight hemorrhagins were purified from crude Bothrops atrox snake venom by gel filtration followed by ionic strength chromatography. The protein fractions obtained, designated HI-1 to HI-8, contained proteins with molecular masses lower than 30 kDa. HI-5, the most representative among
Alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor phenotypes and levels were examined in 40 antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positive cases of systemic vasculitis. An excess of PiZ and PiS alleles were associated with the development of pulmonary haemorrhage and alpha-1-proteinase inhibitor levels were lower in the
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the mechanism of protective effect of semisoluble beta-1,3-carboxymethylglucan (CMG) during acute massive hemorrhage. CBA mice were injected i.v. with glucan (25 mg/kg) 24 h prior to hemorrhage (50% of blood circulating volume). Survival data indicated
In polyuric period of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome a distinct activation of the kinin system was observed in blood serum of patients; it was manifested as an increase in spontaneous BAEE-esterase and kallikreine activities as well as a decrease in kininogen content. Content of inhibitors of
The present study was undertaken to evaluate the mechanism of protective effect of semisoluble alpha-1,3-carboxymethylglucan during massive acute hemorrhage. CBA mice were injected i.v. with glucan (25 mg/kg) 24 h prior to hemorrhage (50% of blood circulating volume). Survival data indicated that
We investigated the relationship between the levels of granulocyte elastase alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor complex (E-alpha 1-PI) in plasma and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in very low birthweight infants. The concentrations of E-alpha 1-PI and the ratio of the concentrations of E-alpha
The pathogenesis of hemorrhage of a purified hemorrhagic toxin, proteinase H from Crotalus adamanteus venom, was studied. Female, white CD-1 mice were injected intramuscularly with sublethal doses of the hemorrhagic toxin and tissue samples were obtained at 10 min, 1, 3 and 24 hr following
The systemic effects of a purified hemorrhagic toxin, proteinase H, from Crotalus adamanteus venom, were studied. Female, white CD-1 mice were injected intravenously with proteinase H and tissue samples were obtained at 1, 3 and 24 hr after injection. Hemorrhage was observed grossly within 1 hr in
A haemorrhagic proteinase was purified from A. caliginosus venom by ion-exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex C-50, DEAE-Sephadex A-50, S-Sepharose Fast Flow and Q-Sepharose Fast Flow, and gel-filtration on a Sephadex G-100 column. By this procedure, about 17.6 mg of the enzyme were obtained from 4
