nephritis/albumin

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of Astragalus polysaccharide on nephritis induced by cationic bovine serum albumin in rats. METHODS C-BSA induced nephritis model was utilized in rats. The effects of Astragalus polysaccharide on this model were investigated. RESULTS Proteinuria of the Astragalus

Experiments were undertaken to study whether progressive processes of bovine serum albumin (BSA) nephritis in C57BL/B10-BR mice could be prevented by the treatment with methylprednisolone (MPSL), a glucocorticoid. Crescentic glomerulonephritis could be induced in 22 mice with high 95 per cent

OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of Bushen Huoxue Recipe (BSHXR, a Chinese medicine recipe for Shen reinforcing and blood circulation activating) on the levels of urinary albumin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1), and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1) in chronic

UNASSIGNED The study aimed to determine if serum albumin at 12 months predicts long-term renal outcome at 48 months. Data from the NYU SAMPLE (Specimen and Matched Phenotype Linked Evaluation) Lupus Registry were used to compare the performance of albumin, anti-double-stranded DNA, C3/C4,

Albumin, fibrinogen, prothrombin and antithrombin III (AT III) variations have been studied in blood, urines and liver during an experimental nephrotic syndrome in rats (Heymann nephritis). A quantitative morphometric study (light microscopy) has been performed in the liver using an

Lipid peroxidation (LPO) stimulated by ascorbate was studied in renal cortex of 20 rats with nephrotoxic nephritis (NTN) and of 9 rats with proteinuria induced by a 3-day course of i. p. injections of the human serum albumin. At the early stages of NTN (0.5 h. and 3 h.) LPO activities were of the

We have examined the in-vitro role of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNs) and macrophages in the degradation of immune complexes (ICs) at various points during the induction of rat bovine serum albumin (BSA) nephritis. Two types of experiments have been used. In one set (experiment A) preformed

Tubulointerstitial inflammation (TI) has prognostic significance in the renal outcomes of lupus nephritis. Here, we aimed to determine whether non-albumin proteinuria is associated with TI severity and with the renal response in lupus nephritis. We included patients with biopsy-confirmed lupus

An albumin biosensor based on a potentiometric measurement using Biofield-effect-transistor (BioFET) has been designed and fabricated, and its characteristics were investigated. The BioFET was fabricated using semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) technology. The gate surface of the BioFET was

We established an experimental model of immune complex glomerulonephritis (ICGN) in rats by daily i.v. administration of 2.0 mg of bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 4 weeks (Yamamoto et al., 1978). In the present study, antigen distribution among various organs was evaluated in the whole course of the

Acute, subacute, and chronic glomerulonephritis, similar in certain features to human glomerulonephritis, has been produced in rabbits by repeated injections of bovine serum albumin. The ratio of antigen to antibody was the factor determining the development and type of glomerulonephritis. This is

BACKGROUND Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) leads to renal lesions, which may be clinically silent in patients with little or no proteinuria. Early detection of these lesions may improve prognosis, but early markers are controversial. This study aimed to determine renal marker proteins associated

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) used to incite chronic serum sickness glomerulonephritis in rats was chemically modified to study the effect of antigenic alteration. The BSA was used in its native form (n-BSA) as well as anionic (a-BSA), cationic (c-BSA) or glycosylated (g-BSA) forms. Spontaneously

A clearance kinetic study of intravenously administered 125I-labeled aggregated human IgG (125I-AHIgG) from the circulation and its distribution in various organs was performed weekly during the course in a model of experimental immune complex glomerulonephritis which was induced in rats immunized 8

In an attempt to evaluate subclinical lupus nephropathy, we determined the level of urinary albumin by radioimmunoassay in 27 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who had no evidence of clinical renal involvement. The ratio of urinary albumin to urinary creatinine (Ualb/Ucreat X 100) was
