suppuration/phosphatase

From 1972 to 1974, 8 intraabdominal postoperative suppurations due to Bacteroides have been observed at Hospital Beaujon. Three characteristic features of such infections have been analysed: the high frequency of associated jaundice; the difficulty of isolation of the Bacteroides; their specific

BACKGROUND Saliva can be used as a diagnostic fluid in medicine. Components of saliva proposed as disease markers include enzymes (alkaline phosphatase, esterase, glucuronidase, aminopeptidase), immunoglobulins (IgA, IgG), and hormones (steroid hormones). Many of these salivary components appeared

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign bone lesion of unknown etiology. Bone involvement usually is solitary (monostotic). Multiple forms (polyostotic) associated with extra skeletal symptoms, particularly cutaneous pigmentation, endocrine dysfunction and precocious puberty is called McCune-Albright syndrome

Ninety-one patients with choledocholithiasis were admitted for endoscopic (51 cases) or surgical (40 cases) sphincterotomy of Oddi's muscle, and were followed up on a yearly basis thereafter for a period spanning 1 to 5 years. The study protocol included clinical examinations, ultrasonographic

The distribution of the genetic markers of leukocytes (HLA I and II), serum proteins (allotypes Gm, transferrin, haptoglobin, group-specific component), red cell enzymes (acid phosphatase--AP, phosphoglucomutase--PGM, esterase D, adenosine deaminase) was found to be universal in patients suffering

OBJECTIVE To investigate expression of gene markers for the plasminogen system, inflammation, and bone resorption/remodelling in peri-implant crevicular fluid samples from healthy subjects, subjects with mucositis and subjects with peri-implantitis. A possible inhibitory effect of suppuration on the
