Acute pancreatitis was produced in rats by a combination of dyschylic edema and short-term ischemia of the pancreas. The incidence of acute pancreatitis, reflected by peri- and extra-pancreatic fat necrosis, was found to be dependent on the duration of ischemia. Under most conditions there were no
We evaluated the effects of a protease inhibitor on the progression of acute pancreatitis in rats. The model was selected and modified to mimic an intermediate stage of the disease. The degree of microcirculatory derangement in the pancrease and of lung edema was determined to assess the effects of
We measured the activity of urinary lipase by high sensitive photometric method using 1,2-dirinoleoilglycerol as a substrate. Also, we investigated the clinical significance of the activity of urinary lipase in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (GN) with special reference to the relation
OBJECTIVE
The present study tested whether the selective monoacylglycerol lipase (MAGL) inhibitor JZL184 would reduce allodynia and paw edema in the carrageenan test.
METHODS
The anti-edematous and anti-allodynic effects of JZL184 were compared to those of PF-3845, an inhibitor of fatty acid amide
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is the most devastating form of acute lung injury (ALI) or pulmonary edema (PE). We presented the experimental studies and clinical investigations of two serious forms of ALI. Drastic and severe PE could be induced by intracranial hypertension or cerebral
We studied the behavior of serum amylase and lipase in 66 consecutive patients with acute pancreatitis in order to assess the ability of these tests and of the serum lipase-amylase ratio to establish the etiology and predict the severity of acute pancreatitis. Forty-two patients had biliary acute
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the specificity of a canine pancreas-specific lipase (cPSL) assay for diagnosing pancreatitis in dogs without clinical or histologic evidence of the disease.
METHODS
20 dogs from another study with macroscopic evidence of pancreatitis and 44 dogs surrendered for euthanasia or
Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory disorder of the pancreas, and its correct diagnosis is an area of interest for clinicians. In accordance with the revised Atlanta classification, acute pancreatitis can be diagnosed if at least 2 of the following 3 criteria are fulfilled: abdominal The effect of an acute gastral ethanol application and an additional induction of a pancreatic juice edema by an obstruction/hyperstimulation mechanism was studied in rats. Neither ethanol administration nor the combination of ductal obstruction and secretory stimulation resulted in an acute
Hyperlipidemia associated with nephrotic syndrome may play a role in the deterioration of renal function. Tsutsumi et al have previously reported that the novel compound NO-1886 increases lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity, resulting in a reduction of plasma triglycerides and an elevation of
We examined the mechanism of the bone marrow-induced pulmonary edema in the isolated Ringer-perfused rabbit lung. Bone marrow administration (0.2 ml/kg body wt) increased pulmonary arterial pressure, capillary pressure, arterial resistance, and venous resistance within 2-4 min. Bone marrow also
Cellular edema and increased lactate production were induced in rat brain cortical slices by xanthine oxidase and xanthine, in the presence of ferric dialdehyde, was increased 174%. Among the various subcellular fractions of brain cortex, xanthine oxidase-stimulated lipid peroxidation was highest in
The biochemical characterization of experimental acute pancreatitis was performed by determination of the secretory enzymes lipase and alpha-amylase, of the cytoplasmic ALAT (alanine aminotransferase), of total protein and calcium concentration in serum of rats. The moderate and protracted course of
Cachectic rheumatoid arthritis, the less frequent form of the disease, is associated with loss of fat mass and often more severe course of the disease. Its experimental model represents rat adjuvant arthritis (AA) characterized by edema, lack of appetite, sharp body weight and fat loss. As
BACKGROUND
Predicting the severity of acute pancreatitis early in the course of the disease is still difficult.
OBJECTIVE
The value of amylase and lipase levels in serum and peritoneal fluid might be of value in predicting the course of acute pancreatitis.
METHODS
Prospective
