Inhaled all-trans retinoic acid in an individual with severe emphysema.
A patient with extensive emphysema was treated with liposomal all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) using a controlled inhalation manoeuvre. After a gradual increase from 0.1 mg to 3 mg ATRA per day, the patient was treated at a level of 1 mg?day for 4 days per week. Over the 6-month observation period there was an improvement of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) from 16% to 21% predicted and an ...
متن کاملAll-trans-retinoic acid: measurement
A quantitative determination of physiological levels of all-trans-retinoic acid (vitamin A acid) in human serum has been developed. A double-phase extraction of 3.5 ml of serum followed by a specific and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography procedure allowed measurement of levels down to 1 ng/ml. Serum concentrations in 37 fasting volunteers ranged from 2.7 to 4.2 ng/ml and fitted a...

متن کاملAll Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) induced myositis.
A 5-year-old girl presented with fever, skin and mucosal bleeds, and pallor. Her hemoglobin was 3.6 g/dL, total white cell count 4.5×103/μL and platelet count 13×103/μL. Peripheral smear revealed 30% blasts, confirmed as APML on bone marrow examination. Cytogenetic analysis showed the typical translocation of t(15:17) with 77% of interphase cells expressing PML:RARA gene fusion. Child was start...
متن کاملProphylactic effect of all-trans retinoic acid in an amyloid-beta rat model of Alzheimer\'s disease
Introduction: Retinoid signaling has been argued to have favorable effects on Alzheimer's disease (AD). We studied the role of chronic intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the amyloid-beta (Aβ) model of AD. Methods: Adult male rats weighing 260-330 g were divided into 12 groups of 8 each. Six groups of rats received ATRA (3nM, 30nM, 3μM, 0.3mM, 30...
