We have investigated plasma kallikrein amidolytic activity in the following groups of patients: 1. Normal control group of blood donors. 2. Extrinsic pollen-activated bronchial asthma patients, during periods of symptomatology and at a later time after the spring. 3. Subjects with atopic bronchial asthma in acute phase when admitted to our hospital's emergency room and later when clinically recovered. 4. Subjects with extrinsic bronchial asthma, sensitive to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and Dermatophagoides farinae with FEV1 < 80%. 5. Subjects with extrinsic bronchial asthma, sensitive to Dermatophagoides pteronissinus and Dermatophagoides farinae in a state of clinical rest. After 9 minutes of activation, the following results were found, with a significance of p < 0.01: There are significant differences between the normal group and those that we consider the active groups, asthma FEV1 < 80%, pollen-sensitive asthma in springtime and acute asthma. No significant differences exist between the normal group and inactive groups, inactive asthma, pollen-sensitive asthma out of springtime and acute asthma inactive. Significant differences exist in active groups (acute asthma and pollen-sensitive asthma in springtime) when they become inactive (acute asthma inactive and pollen-sensitive asthma out of springtime). The active groups have a higher plasma kallikrein amidolytic activity than both the inactive and control groups.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007610 Kallikreins Proteolytic enzymes from the serine endopeptidase family found in normal blood and urine. Specifically, Kallikreins are potent vasodilators and hypotensives and increase vascular permeability and affect smooth muscle. They act as infertility agents in men. Three forms are recognized, PLASMA KALLIKREIN (EC 3.4.21.34), TISSUE KALLIKREIN (EC 3.4.21.35), and PROSTATE-SPECIFIC ANTIGEN (EC 3.4.21.77).

D008297 Male Males
D008925 Mites Any arthropod of the subclass ACARI except the TICKS. They are minute animals related to the spiders, usually having transparent or semitransparent bodies. They may be parasitic on humans and domestic animals, producing various irritations of the skin (MITE INFESTATIONS). Many mite species are important to human and veterinary medicine as both parasite and vector. Mites also infest plants. Acarus,Mite
