Studies on Blood Plasma Proteins in Tuberculosis

Studies on the Blood Proteins

The progress of an infection is usually associated with marked changes in the serum proteins. There may be an increase in the percentage of the total protein during some stage of the infection, and there is usually a change in the albumin-globulin ratio with an increase in the total globulins. This rise may antedate the development of any resistance by a considerable period of time. The non-pro...

[Electrophoretic studies on the plasma proteins in pulmonary tuberculosis treated with artificial pneumoperitoneum].

Tetsuro Nishida Department of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, Shinshu University (Prof.: Tadamasa Tozuka) In 60 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis treated with artificial pneumoperitoneum or with combination of pneumoperitoneum and chemotherapy, the relation between plasma protein fractions and clinical pictures was investigated, and following results were obtained. 1) In the plasma protein...

Biophysical studies of blood plasma proteins; electrophoretic studies of the blood serum proteins of some lower animals.

The blood serum (1) and plasma (2) proteins of various relatively easily accessible animals have been studied previously by the electrophoretic technique. The serum proteins of each species were found to give characteristic species variations in mobility, amount, and number of protein components. An electrophoretic study of the blood serum proteins of various animals of relatively lower phyloge...

The Iranian Blood Transfusion, Donor Safety Program: Effect of Long-term Plasmapheresis on Plasma Proteins

Background: Plasmapheresis is a well-recognised method for harvestingplasma.  It was introduced in the 1950s and is currently employed worldwide.  This method has been in use in Iran since 1979. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of donor safety program used at the Iranian Blood Transfusion Organization. Methods: A comparison is made of the protein concentrations between the first-time and lon...
