Serum beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-D-glucosidase, alpha-D-glucosidase, beta-D-fucosidase, alpha-L-fucosidase and beta-D-galactosidase levels in acute viral hepatitis, pancreatitis, myocardial infarction and breast cancer. 1982

The specific activities of several glycosidases (beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-D-glucosidase, alpha-D-glucosidase, beta-D-fucosidase, alpha-L-fucosidase and beta-D-galactosidase) were determined in human sera from a control group to 10 normal subjects and in four groups, each of 10 patients, with acute viral hepatitis, acute pancreatitis, acute myocardial infarction and breast cancer. The results show significantly higher activities in acute viral hepatitis for beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-D-glucosidase and alpha-D-glucosidase (p less than 0.001); in acute pancreatitis for the first two of these enzymes (p less than 0.001); and in breast cancer for beta-D-glucosidase (p less than 0.001). Further, lower differences were found in the patients with acute viral hepatitis for beta-D-fucosidase and alpha-L-fucosidase (p less than 0.01); in acute myocardial infarction for beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, beta-D-glucosidase, alpha-D-glucosidase, beta-D-fucosidase and beta-D-galactosidase (p less than 0.01, p less than 0.05, p less than 0.05, p less than 0.01 and p less than 0.01, respectively); and in breast cancer for beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase (p less than 0.01). No significant differences were found for the other glycosidases.

D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.
