The osteal alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity was examined in 167 Wistar rats with uncomplicated regeneration and traumatic osteomyelitis of the mandible, exposed to low-intensity He-Ne laser. Laser exposure stimulated the bone AP activity in the animals with traumatic osteomyelitis and
Enzyme activity of lactate dehydrogenase, glutamate-oxalacetate and glutamate-pyruvate transaminase, creatine phosphokinase, cholinesterase, alkaline, acid and prostatic phosphatase and aldolase has been studied in a total of 213 subjects, of whom 97 were of good health, 63 had bone tumors and 53
Background: Infections of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) often result in osteomyelitis, which is the acute or chronic infections of the bone marrow or bones. TNF-α is long recognized as a key factor contributing to the pathogenesis of
In the present research,we simultaneously addressed the condition of osteomyelitis and osteoporosis by developing a gelatin based chemically cross linked cryogel system embedded with CaCO3 microspheres and ciprofloxacin hydrochloride was incorporated in both the microspheres and the 3D matrix of
The clinical and microbiologic features of five cases of osteomyelitis of the pubis after radical gynecologic and exenterative pelvic surgery are reported. Pain and tenderness over the pubic symphysis and difficulty with ambulation were common features. The interval between surgery and diagnosis
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is the inborn error of metabolism characterized by low serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity caused by inactivating mutations within TNSALP, the gene that encodes the "tissue-nonspecific" isoenzyme of ALP (TNSALP). In HPP, extracellular accumulation of inorganic
BACKGROUND
Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO) is a multifocal autoinflammatory disease that often impairs daily life in children. This study aimed to investigate the bone metabolic and inflammatory characteristics of patients with CNO, and to assess the differences between responders and
BACKGROUND
Hypophosphatasia (HP) is characterized by a genetic defect in the tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP) gene and predominantly an autosomal recessive trait. HP patients suffer from reduced bone mineralization. Biochemically, elevated concentrations of substrates of TNSALP,
We report a juvenile case of diffuse sclerosing osteomyelitis of the mandible that showed a favorable response to pamidronate, a bisphosphonate derivative. Although conventional treatments had been ineffective for 5 years, pamidronate administration brought about conspicuous improvement both
Thirteen cases are reported with normal levels of prostate-specific antigen and elevated prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP). Conditions that were associated with an elevated PAP were myeloproliferative syndromes (four cases), metastatic nonprostatic carcinoma (six cases), prostatic carcinoma (one
It is suggested that cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) derived prostaglandins contributes to the progressive bone loss seen in osteomyelitis lesions. In the present study we examined the expression of COX-2 in bones from 23 pigs with experimental osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis was induced with Staphylococcus
A study of field turkeys was undertaken in order to determine the involvement of relative immunological differences in the etiology of turkey osteomyelitis complex (TOC). Lame and normal turkeys were sampled from commercial flocks just prior to processing in two separate trials. After testing for
According to the authors' data the literature offers only single reports concerning the problem of albuminose osteomyelitis. The authors observed 7 patients including 5 children. There were 5 male patients and 2--females. In 6 cases the pathological process involved the left femur, in 1--the right.
Xanthogranulomatous osteomyelitis is a rare type of inflammatory process which is characterized by composition of immune cell aggregation on histological studies. Delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction of cell-mediated immunity may be implicated in its pathogenesis. Gross and radiological
