The histamine-like activity of white blood cells

The Prognostic Value of White Blood Cells Count in Patients with Myocardial Infarction

Background: Ischemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction is one of the most dramatic manifestations in one of the most investigated fields in the past few decades. In this study, the prognostic value of white blood cells count in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) was investigated in a six months follow-up. Methods: In this cohort study, 106 patients with MI were investigated. ...

comparison of catalytic activity of heteropoly compounds in the synthesis of bis(indolyl)alkanes.

heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...

Changes in histamine and white blood cells in the blood, spleen and thymus of magnesium-deficient rat.

Groups of rats were given either a control or a magnesium-deficient diet. The well-known allergy-like crisis, characterized by vasodilatation with redness of the ears and dermatosis, occurred spontaneously in the magnesium-deficient groups. The histamine (H) content and the distribution of the various white blood cells (WBC) were studied as a function of time. During the acute phase, there was ...

The mechanism of histamine secretion from gastric enterochromaffin-like cells.

Enterochromaffin-like (ECL) cells play a pivotal role in the peripheral regulation of gastric acid secretion as they respond to the functionally important gastrointestinal hormones gastrin and somatostatin and neural mediators such as pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating peptide and galanin. Gastrin is the key stimulus of histamine release from ECL cells in vivo and in vitro. Voltage-gated K+...
