چکیده

Thirty-nine patients with Crohn's disease and 17 normal people were tested for hypersensitivity to sarcoid and normal spleen suspensions using the leucocyte migration test. In 26% of the Crohn's cases migration was inhibited, whereas inhibition was not significant in the control group. Migration inhibition did not appear to be related to duration or activity of the disease. Sixty-two percent of the Crohn's patients showed migration stimulation against normal spleen, a phenomenon that did not occur in the control group.

Leucocyte function in Crohn's disease. Studies on mobilisation using a quantitative skin window technique and on the function of circulating polymorphonuclear leucocytes in vitro.

Leucocyte function was evaluated by mobilisation to skin windows with chambers and by the chemotactic, phagocytic, and nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) reducing activity of circulating leucocytes in vitro in 20 patients with Crohn's disease, 21 healthy volunteers, and nine patients with sarcoidosis or tuberculosis. Leucocytes had been mobilised in significantly reduced numbers at 12, 24, 36, and 48...

A study of peripheral leucocyte migration in agarose medium in inflammatory bowel disease.

THE MIGRATION OF PERIPHERAL LEUCOCYTES FROM PATIENTS WITH INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE WAS INVESTIGATED USING AN AGAROSE PLATE TECHNIQUE AND THREE ANTIGENIC MATERIALS: (1) the enterobacterial common antigen of Kunin; (2) extract from germ-free rat faeces; and (3) Kveim suspension from a sarcoid spleen K19. Inhibition of migration was obtained only with Kunin antigen. It was present in 11 out of 2...

Circulating human leucocyte elastase in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

The plasma concentration of human leucocyte elastase (HLE), measured by enzyme immunoassay as the complex with alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor, was determined in 94 patients with active and inactive inflammatory bowel disease. In Crohn's disease and in ulcerative colitis human leucocyte elastase levels were raised significantly above normal when the disease was active, and fell on remission. The m...

99mTc-HMPAO leucocyte scintigraphy fails to detect Crohn's disease in the proximal gastrointestinal tract.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the use of (99m)Tc-HMPAO (hexamethyl propylene amine oxime) leucocyte scintigraphy as a non-invasive screening test for inflammatory bowel disease. PATIENTS 10 children with suspected Crohn's disease, in whom routine investigation using barium contrast radiology, upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, colonoscopy, and mucosal biopsies had identified severe gastroduodenal a...
