Homosexual men with thrombocytopenia have impaired reticuloendothelial system Fc receptor-specific clearance.
Classic immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP) occurs predominantly in women and is associated with either normal or impaired Fc receptor-mediated clearance of antibody-coated cells. Recently, an increasing incidence of thrombocytopenia has been observed in homosexual men, but whether Fc receptor-mediated clearance of antibody-coated cells is normal or impaired in these men is unknown. To study ...
متن کاملDemonstration of defective C3-receptor-mediated clearance by the reticuloendothelial system in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
The function of macrophage C3 receptors was assessed in vivo by measuring the clearance of C3-sensitized autologous erythrocytes in seven acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients, eight healthy homosexual men, eight healthy heterosexual men, and four infected controls. Healthy heterosexual men had an initial clearance of 50.1 +/- 2.0% of the inoculum, with a release of a small portion...
متن کاملRespiratory system involvement in chronic liver diseases.
Liver diseases are often associated with respiratory complications. They may manifest as pleural effusion, interstitial lung disease, as well as various combinations of symptoms affecting the pulmonary vasculature. The duration and severity of liver disease is not always reflected by the degree of lung function impairment. On the other hand, progressive damage to the lungs significantly worsens...
متن کاملEvaluation of the reticuloendothelial system function by the vascular clearance of chondroitin sulfate iron colloid.
Vascular clearance of chondroitin sulfate iron colloid (CSFe) was evaluated as a test for the reticuloendothelial system (RES) in rabbits. Injected CS59Fe was taken up by the RES in the liver (49%) and bone marrow (41%) after 60 min, suggesting its application for the RES function test. The clearance rate (K-value) of CSFe from the blood was calculated by measuring serum Fe concentrations after...
متن کاملOctreotide, the reticuloendothelial system, and experimental liver tumour.
The inhibitory effect of octreotide on the growth of liver tumour is probably mediated (at least in part) by stimulation of the hepatic reticuloendothelial system (RES) activity. This study therefore investigated the effect of octreotide on the hepatic and splenic RES (assessed by the uptake of technetium 99m labelled albumin colloid, 99mTc-AC) in normal and tumour bearing rats and in animals t...
