Stability of Cholinesterase in Frozen Plasma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Specimens of plasma from 51 agricultural workers were divided into several portions for freezing and storage. Periodic assays (in duplicate) for cholinesterase activity in each specimen were compared with the initial values obtained on each fresh, unfrozen specimen. Freezing and/or thawing results in loss of approximately 30% of the plasma cholinesterase activity. It is not possible to use divided frozen portions of an initial specimen of plasma as controls for repeated testing of a subject.

Background: It is becoming apparent that although inhibition of cholinesterase plays a key role in organophosphate (OP) toxicity, other factors are also important. One of the contributing factors for severity of OP poisoning is electrolyte imbalances such as hypokalemia. This study was aimed at evaluating the value of hypokalemia in association with plasma cholinesterase (PChE) levels in predic...

متن کاملRelevance of Plasma Cholinesterase to Clinical Findings in Acute Organophosphorous Poisoning
Background: Organophosphorus (OP) poisoning is a major public health problem in developing world. OP pesticides inhibit carboxylic esterase enzymes including plasma cholinesterase (PChE). Clinical manifestations following OP poisoning can be associated with the extent of decrease of PChE. This study was designed to investigate the relevance of PChE level to clinical manifestations in OP poisoni...
متن کاملPlatelet-Rich Plasma for Frozen Shoulder: A Case Report
Frozen shoulder is a glenohumeral joint disorder that perturbs movement because of adhesion and the existence of fibrosis in the shoulder capsule. Platelet-rich plasma can produce collagen and growth factors, which increases stem cells and consequently enhances the healing. To date, there is no evidence regarding the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma in frozen shoulder. A 45-year-old man ...
