peritonitis/tyrosine

OBJECTIVE To determine whether Ron receptor tyrosine kinase signaling affects the in vivo response to bacterial peritonitis. METHODS Experimental study. METHODS University laboratory. METHODS Male mice 8-11 wks of age (22-28 g). METHODS A genetic approach comparing wild-type mice to mice with a

Increased submesothelial collagen deposition, loss of mesothelial cells and increased peritoneal vascularization of peritoneal membrane with vasculopathy leads to peritoneal fibrosis in a patient on long-term peritoneal dialysis (PD). This vascular proliferation within the peritoneum is associated

Infection with feline infectious peritonitis virus (FIPV), a feline coronavirus, frequently leads to death in spite of a strong humoral immune response. In previous work, we reported that infected monocytes, the in vivo target cells of FIPV, express viral proteins in their plasma membranes. These

Intraperitoneal injection of bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) has therapeutic efficacy against acute bacterial peritonitis. For this role, BMMCs need to settle down the mesentery from the peritoneal cavity. Interaction between BMMCs and the mesentery was examined by using mast cell deficient

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of tyrphostin AG 126, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, on the multiple organ failure (MOF) caused by zymosan in the rat. METHODS Zymosan (500 mg/kg, suspended in saline solution, i.p.) causes an enhanced formation of reactive oxygen species, which contribute to the

We report two cases of gastrointestinal perforation (GIP) after radiotherapy in patients receiving tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Case 1 was a 61-year-old woman with lung metastases after a radical nephrectomy for a right RCC (cT3aN0M0) treated with

As a possible prognostic index, plasma levels of amino acids were serially measured for 1 week in 22 neonates with perforative peritonitis including gastric rupture and necrotizing enterocolitis and 28 neonatal surgical patients without infection as a control, who were subjected to total parenteral

Blood plasma amino acid levels in 10 patients with peritonitis are analyzed. Nonsurvivors, in contrast to survivors, had severe amino acid derangements. Aminoacidemia and amino acid imbalance were registered early in the course of the illness. Increased concentrations of aromatic amino acids:

Lower-than-normal tyrosine concentrations of unexplained pathogenesis in plasma and intracellular body water have been reported in patients with chronic renal failure. We found a derivative of tyrosine that is not measured by the usual methods of amino-acid analysis because its alpha-amino group is

BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are usually refractory to standard chemotherapeutic agents. We successfully treated a patient with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (STI571) for GIST with peritoneal dissemination and liver metastases. METHODS In a 32-year-old man presenting with

Emerging coronaviruses (CoVs) primarily cause severe gastroenteric or respiratory diseases in humans and animals, and no approved therapeutics are currently available. Here, A9, a receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (RTKI) of the tyrphostin class, is identified as a robust inhibitor of transmissible

BACKGROUND The most common mesenchymal tumour of the gastrointestinal tract is stromal tumours (GISTs). Symptomatic GISTs can present with complications such as haemorrhage, obstruction and perforation. Complete surgical resection with negative margins is the mainstay of treatment but may be

Encapsulated Klebsiella pneumoniae is the predominant causative agent of pyogenic liver abscess, an emerging infectious disease that often complicates metastatic meningitis or endophthalmitis. The capsular polysaccharide on K. pneumoniae surface was determined as the key to virulence. Although the

Engagement of neutrophils by E-selectin results in integrin activation. Here, we investigated primary mouse neutrophils in whole blood by using intravital microscopy and autoperfused flow chambers. Slow rolling on E-selectin coimmobilized with intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) required

Selectins mediate leukocyte rolling, trigger beta(2)-integrin activation, and promote leukocyte recruitment into inflamed tissue. E-selectin binding to P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1 (PSGL-1) leads to activation of an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-dependent pathway, which
