glycosidase activities in gingival crevicular fluid in subjects with adult periodontitis or gingivitis.specific glycosidase activities were determined in samples of gingival crevicular fluid (gcf) collected from eight predetermined sites in two groups, each of 20 adult patients, with either gingivitis or periodontitis. the total activities (as units of enzyme activity per sample) of alpha-l-fucosidase, sialidase, beta-n-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-galactosidase, beta-glucosidase and alpha-glucosidase were significantly greater in the periodontitis group. in contrast, the total beta-mannosidase an ...20061610303
role of gastric acid suppression in the treatment of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.gastro-oesophageal reflux disease is a common condition with a complex pathophysiology. despite the spectrum of abnormalities, gastric acid has a central role in mucosal damage, and the mainstay of medical treatment is suppression of gastric acid secretion. the results of antisecretory treatment as assessed by endoscopic healing are reviewed. h2 receptor antagonists give more rapid symptom relief than placebo and can produce endoscopic improvement in 31-88% of cases depending on the severity of ...20061346769
importance of peak enzyme level and reinfarction while attempting to intervene myocardial infarction process.isosorbide dinitrate (isdn) was tried in 27 patients, of which 4 patients with evidence of reinfarction were excluded in the course of the study, with acute myocardial infarction, with the aim of reduction of enzymatically estimated infarction size. the drug apparently seemed useless, when overall effects of the therapy was looked into. but in the group, where drug was administered before the occurrence of peak enzyme level (pel), isdn could reduce infarction size by 22.95% (p less than 0.01). s ...20082630597

[microtrauma and cartilage injury].in addition to macrotraumas resulting from single and heavy impact, recurrent microtraumas are probably frequently the cause of cartilage damage. the risk of a microtraumatic cartilage damage exists especially in activities involving a high load frequency. epidemiological studies and dynamometric measurements in race events support this assumption. based on experimental investigations it is shown how the different components of the articular system-cartilage, synovial membrane and subchondral bo ...20082610669
[treatment of decubitus ulcer with crilanomer and dextranomer].in a clinical study on decubital ulcers, 95 patients in 10 hospitals were treated with dextranomer and crilanomer. the size of the ulcer surface and the physician's evaluation of the healing status at the end of treatment served as the most important criteria for our assessment of the curative effect. both preparations proved equivalent in the statistical test. crilanomer revealed slightly better results than dextranomer with regard to the physician's overall evaluation al well as odor, exudatio ...20082483786
