Serum enzymes, including lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), have recently been reported to play important roles in tumor growth. Increases in LDH and ALP have been confirmed to predict poor prognosis in patients with various cancers. However, their prognostic value in pancreatic cancer has not been well studied. Therefore, we reviewed the preoperative data on LDH and AL...

Background: To determine relationship between the levels of serum Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)on admission and prognosis of dengue fever. Methods: Patients (n=62) admitted with the diagnosis of dengue fever were included. On admission, serum LDH levels were measured in all patients and to find relationship we monitored all patients upto discharge. Monitoring was done for vitals, different blood ...

Differential expression of isozymes enables fish to tolerate temperature fluctuations in their environment. The present study explores the modulation lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and cytoplasmic malate (sMDH) isozyme heart, muscle, brain, liver, gill, kidney juvenile Horabagrus brachysoma after 30 days acclimation at 26, 31, 33, 36°C. LDH sMDH zymography were performed using native polyacrylamid...

BACKGROUND Ninety percent of all people sometimes during their lives experience low back pain, and 30-40% develops radicular leg pain with the sciatica characteristics. Although for clinical diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) straight leg raising (SLR) test in 85-90% of cases indicates LDH, but in our practice with LDH patients this test is frequently negative despite radicular leg pain ...

A lactate dehydrogenase-deficient (Ldh-) mutant of a human isolate of Streptococcus mutans serotype c was tested in a gnotobiotic rat caries model. Compared with the wild-type Ldh-positive (Ldh+) strains, it was significantly (alpha less than or equal to 0.005) less cariogenic in experiments with two different sublines of Sprague-Dawley rats. The Ldh- mutant strain 044 colonized the oral cavity...

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities were measured in cerebrospinal fluid in 350 patients with various neurological diseases to establish the sensitivity and specificity of the CSF LDH as a marker for the diagnosis of leptomeningeal metastases. Slight elevations of CSF LDH were observed in nonmalignant diseases, while marked elevations were observed in a considerable number of patients with b...

Total plasma lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity may be elevated in cryptogenic fibrosing alveolitis (CFA) and extrinsic allergic alveolitis (EAA), and may be a useful monitor of disease progress. In a retrospective, primary referral centre study, we compared LDH at presentation, prior to bronchoalveolar lavage BAL, and after treatment and follow-up with changes in pulmonary function, in patie...

Lactate dehydrogenase 5 (LDH-5) is one of the major isoenzymes catalyzing the biochemical process of pyruvate to lactate. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of serum LDH-5 and test whether this enzyme is regulated by tumor hypoxia and represents a prognostic marker in patients with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). In this study, LDH-5 levels were detected using agarose gel...

background: ninety percent of all people sometimes during their lives experience low back pain, and 30-40% develops radicular leg pain with the sciatica characteristics. although for clinical diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation (ldh) straight leg raising (slr) test in 85-90% of cases indicates ldh, but in our practice with ldh patients this test is frequently negative despite radicular leg pain...

A nanocomposite composed of ternary NiCo 2 Fe x layered double hydroxide (LDH) anchored to g-C 3 N 4 was prepared for high-performance supercapacitor. In this novel material, played an important part in enhancing the energy storage performance -LDH. Density functional theory calculations on material showed that improved Fermi level -LDH, moreover, stability N–Ni bonds were formed after combinin...
