Urinary aspartate transaminase in childhood.

Influence of calcium and non-phytate phosphorus deficient diets with phytase on the performance of broilers, serum concentrations of minerals and the activity of alanin transaminase, aspartate transaminase and lactate dehydrogenas e

Urinary Aspartate Transaminase (ast) Activity and Detection of Its Inhibitors in Normal Human Urine

An overall 176% increase in enzyme activity followed byS ephadex G-25 (fine) whole urine fractionation and a highly significant (P L,001) partial inhibition by earlier Sephadex fractions and maximum inhibition by earlier Sephadex fractions and maximum inhibition of enzyme by fraction 7 have suggested the presence of both high and low molecular weight urinary inhibitors of aspartate-transaminase...

Clinical observation of childhood urinary stones induced by melamine-tainted infant formula in Anhui province, China

INTRODUCTION The current report detailed an investigation of melamine-linked urinary stones in children exposed to contaminated formula. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 1062 children fed with melamine-contaminated infant formula were screened for urinary stones. Sixty healthy children without melamine exposure were recruited as a control group. Ultrasonography of the urinary tract system was ...

Cytomegalovirus - Specific Lymphocyte Proliferation and In Vitro Cytomegalovirus tgG Synthesis for Diagnosis of Cytomegalovirus Infections After Bone Marrow Transplantation

With new techniques 1 9 bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients were monitored for lymphocyte proliferation and specific lgG production in vitro by cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigen in solid phase. Twelve patients got a reactivated CMV infection as defined by virus isolation or serum lgG conversion. Lymphocyte proliferation and in vitro lgG production responses were significantly stronger in these ...

Early signs of lead-exposure. A comparative study of laboratory tests.

Previous work has shown that urinary lead, coproporphyrin (CP), and 8-aminolaevulinic acid (ALA) are closely related after exposure to lead. We have confirmed the relationship in 50 automobile workers with different exposures, and have also estimated porphobilinogen (PBG) levels. There was some evidence that a raised ALA level gave an earlier sign of lead absorption than a raised CP level. ALA-...
