The possible role of reticulo endothelial system in hepatic regeneration.

چکیده
Calciphylactic blockade of Reticulo endothelial system (REB) was used to study the role of reticulo-endothelial system (RES) in hepatic regeneration. REB was induced by i.v. egg yolk administration in DHT sensitized animals, which were subsequently partially hepatectomized. Mitotic index and percentage regeneration were studied in these animals 48 hr after partial hepatectomy. REB produced a significant depression of the mitotic index and percentage regeneration in regenerating livers. This suggests that functional integrity of the RES in essential hepatic parenchymal proliferation after partial hepatectomy.

The complexity of the reticulo-endothelial (RE) functions is reflected in the great difficulties of developing adequate functional tests. Phagocytosis, by definition the characteristic function of the RE system, has served as a basis for most of the functional tests reported.2 When radioactive colloids were first employed by one of us,' this technique was felt to be a very useful tool for study...
متن کاملEffect of dexamethasone on the endothelin-1 (ET-1) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) genes expression during hepatic warm ischemia/reperfusion in rat
Background: Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury (I/RI) is a multifactorial pathophysiologic process which can lead to liver damage and dysfunction. This study examined the protective effect of dexamethasone on the gene expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) and on the liver tissue damage during warm hepatic I/R. Materials and Methods: A total of 32 mal...
متن کاملThe Relation of the Reticulo-endothelial System to the Blood Platelet Count
1. So called blockade of the reticulo-endothelial system results in a marked increase in the platelet count. 2. The count rapidly becomes very high, shows a sharp partial recoil and then a gradual diminution even though the blockade be continued. 3. The mechanism regulating the number of platelets is a complicated one. 4. Apparently phagocytosis by cells of the reticulo-endothelial system is no...
متن کاملAn Increase in Reticulo-endothelial Cells in Outlying Bone Marrow Consequent upon a Local Increase in Temperature
In adult mammals and birds there is a great quantitative difference in the reticulo-endothelial system content of the bone marrow of central bones as compared with distal outlying bones. Experimental procedures reported in the accompanying communication effecting development and increase of hemopoiesis in inactive yellow marrow also effect a reticulo-endothelial cell increase.
متن کاملThe Relation of the Reticulo-endothelial System to the Formation of Amyloid
The facts presented suggest strongly that reticulo-endothelial cells are actively concerned in the formation of amyloid. Points in favor of this theory are as follows: 1. The appearance of amyloid in places where reticulo-endothelial cells are normally present, sometimes in very large number. 2. The formation of early amyloid in the small solitary patches, which suggests its local formation. 3....
