decarboxylase/hemorrhage

Acute haemorrhagic lesions in the oesophagus, stomach and duodenum ('stress ulcers') occur relatively often under clinical conditions and are always dangerous to the patient (lethality rate about 70%). Since conservative and surgical treatment are without significant success up to now, prevention by

The effects of different types of stress (water bathing, cold, restraint, and prolonged walking) on histidine decarboxylase (HDC) activity in masseter, quadriceps femoris, and pectoralis superficial muscles, and in the stomach were examined in mice. All of these stresses elevated gastric HDC

The spontaneously hypertensive rat (stroke-prone) (SHRSP) experiences severe hypertension and cerebral hemorrhage. The serum cholesterol level in this rat is lower than that in the normotensive Wistar-Kyoto rat. Epidemiologic studies have indicated a negative association between serum cholesterol

Hypocholesterolemia has been epidemiologically identified as one of the causes of stroke (cerebral hemorrhage). We previously reported that lower protein levels of mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase (MPD), which is responsible for reducing serum cholesterol levels in stroke-prone spontaneously

Activation of the histaminergic system is characteristic of response to the action of adverse or potentially dangerous stimuli that disturb circulatory homeostasis, such as dehydration and changes in blood pressure. Previous study demonstrates that inhibition of histamine N-methyltransferase, which

BACKGROUND Cell proliferation, renewal, and apoptosis factors are related to hemorrhagic shock (HS) survival. OBJECTIVE Hepatic gene expression before and 24 h after induced HS were compared. METHODS Male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 8-9 wk (n = 11) were subjected to blood loss, and HS was induced in 9

Multiorgan failure in hemorrhagic shock is triggered by gut barrier dysfunction and consequent systemic infiltration of proinflammatory factors. Our previous study has shown that diphenyldihaloketone drugs 4-[3,5-bis[(2-chlorophenyl)methylene]-4-oxo-1-piperidinyl]-4-oxo-2-butenoic acid (CLEFMA) and

Activity of ornithine decarboxylase was significantly increased, reaching the maximal values in malignant gastric tissues, in mucosal membrane and polypous tissue of patients with atrophic gastritis as compared with normalcy. Any alterations in the enzymatic activity were not observed in the gastric

The responses of male noninbred rat colonic epithelial ornithine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.17) (ODC) and S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.50) (SAMD) activities following topical administration of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) or bile salts were studied. A single

Viruses causing hemorrhagic fevers in man belong to the following virus groups: togavirus (Chikungunya), flavivirus (dengue, yellow fever, Kyasanur Forest disease, Omsk hemorrhagic fever), arenavirus (Argentinian hemorrhagic fever, Bolivian hemorrhagic fever, Lassa fever), filovirus (Ebola,

BACKGROUND Aromatic l-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency is an inherited disease that causes depletion of neurotransmitters and severe motor dysfunction in infants and children. We previously reported compassionate use of an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector containing the human AADC gene

The effects of space restriction and water-immersion stress on epithelial cell proliferation in the digestive tract, with special attention to the esophagus, stomach and duodenum, in 8-week-old SD male rats were examined. Histological assessment revealed spotted hemorrhagic lesions in the fundus of

Five strains of Aeromonas hydrophila were selected for use in volunteer challenge trials. All five strains produced cytotoxin, hemolysin enterotoxin, lysine decarboxylase, acetylmethylcarbinol, and DNase. Two strains hydrolyzed esculin. All strains produced purulent hemorrhagic fluid accumulation in

Tattooing is a popular cosmetic practice involving more than 45 million US citizens. Since the toxicology of tattoo inks and pigments used to formulate tattoo inks has not been reported, we studied the immunological impact of tattooing and determined recovery time from this trauma. SKH-1 hairless

Increasing shortage of cadaveric grafts demands the utilization of living donor and split liver grafts. The purpose of this study was to 1) define the "small-for-size" graft in a pig liver transplant model 2) evaluate pathological changes associated with small-for-size liver transplantation. Pigs
