Histiocytosis X characterized by marked elevation of serum alkaline phosphatase and rapid destructive changes in the lung parenchyma.

چکیده
A 23 yr old man was admitted suspected of having a liver disease because of marked elevation of the serum alkaline phosphatase. A biopsy of the liver was without cholestasis. A skin biopsy of a papule was compatible with eosinophilic granuloma. Over a few months the patient developed severe restrictive lung disease. The elevation of the serum alkaline phosphatase was probably due to diffuse bone affection.

Hepatoprotective efficacy of propolis extract (honeybee hive product, 200 mg/kg, p.o.) was studied against carbon-tetrachloride-(CCl 4, 0.15 ml/kg, i.p.) induced biochemical and histopathological changes. Silymarin, a known hepatoprotective drug was used as a positive control. Subchronic exposure to CCl 4 for 3 weeks (5 days a week) caused sharp elevation in the activity of liver enzymes i.e...

The influence of aluminum on some serum parameters related to bone metabolism has been investigated by daily administration of aluminum over different periods of time. Daily administration of aluminum (1 mg/kg BW) for 20 or 50 days elevated serum phosphorous concentration by 16 percent and had no significant effect on serum calcium level. When aluminum was injected as a complex with citric...

Objective(s): Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in commercial food additives and cosmetics worldwide. Uptake of these nanoparticulate into humans by different routes and may exhibit potential side effects, lags behind the rapid development of nanotechnology. Thus, the present study designed to evaluate the toxic effect of mixed rutile and anatase TiO2 NPs on serum bioc...
متن کاملP-178: Separation and Identification of Alkaline Phosphatase Isozymes during Pregnancy
Background: Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), (EC 3.1.3.1) is a hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from various molecules in the body. In humans, ALPis present in all tissues such as liver, bile duct, kidney, bone, and the placenta which detection of its activity is so useful in molecular biology. Pregnancy is associated with normal physiological changes that assist fetal surv...
متن کاملInduction of rat liver alkaline phosphatase: the mechanism of the serum elevation in bile duct obstruction.
Bile duct ligation in the rat leads to a rapid increase in hepatic and serum alkaline phosphatase activity. Within 12 hr after bile duct ligation, hepatic alkaline phosphatase has increased 7-fold and serum alkaline phosphatase activity 2(1/2)-fold. The elevation in the serum activity is completely due to an increase in an isozyme that appears to originate in the liver. This serum isozyme and l...
