abstract

serum ige and beta 2 microglobulin levels were determined in 31 patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction and 30 patients with other forms of ischemic heart disease. the levels of these parameters were studied on the first, third and seventh day after the onset of disease. the immunological method used for the determinations was elisa patients with myocardial infarction showed an elevated level of both parameters. the peak value of ige was observed on the seventh day (p<0.05) but that of beta 2 microglobulin on the third day (p<0.05) after the onset of myocardial infarction.

Condensing enzyme levels in the serum after experimental myocardial infarction.

FOLLOWING tissue damage several tissue enzymes are released into the serum. On this basis, changes in serum glutamate-oxalacetate transaminase and lactate dehydrogenase have been used as indicators of the occurrence and severity of myocardial infarction. These tests lack specificity because damage to liver and other organs also causes an increase in the serum levels of these enzymes. Recently w...

Serum paraoxonase after myocardial infarction.

HDL has been shown to prevent the oxidative modification of LDL. The antioxidant activity of HDL is believed to reside in its enzymes, particularly paraoxonase. Human serum paraoxonase (PON1) is closely associated with a specific HDL subfraction also containing apoA1 and clusterin. Recently PON1 has been implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. We have examined the activity, concentra...

beta 2-Microglobulin levels in serum and urine of rheumatoid arthritis patients on gold therapy.

The levels of beta 2-microglobulin (beta 2-m) in serum and urine of 24 seropositive patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with regular gold (sodium aurothiomalate) injections have been investigated. The values obtained were compared with levels from 20 seropositive patients with RA treated only with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and 20 age and sex matched normal controls who ha...

beta 2-Microglobulin levels in serum and saliva of patients with juvenile periodontitis.

beta 2-Microglobulin (beta 2-m) is a low-molecular-weight protein which has been suggested to play an important role in immune functions. The aim of this study was to determine beta 2-m levels in serum and saliva from patients with juvenile periodontitis (JP) and to compare them with those of periodontally healthy subjects. The study was performed on 11 patients with JP and 10 periodontally hea...

Serum levels of beta 2 microglobulin and interleukin-6 to differentiate monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance.

We would like to comment on the recent letter from Greco et a1.I They mistakenly claim that we2-4 presented serum levels of P2 microglobulin (P2M) and of interleukin-6 (IL-6) as clinically useful parameters to discriminate individuals with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) from those with early multiple myeloma (MM). About P2M, we clearly stated that (1) “it was impossib...
