[Nonspecific immunity indices in acute gastrointestinal hemorrhage of peptic etiology]. 1981

E N Levkovets

The state of phagocytic activity of neutrophils, phagocytic index, opsonic coefficient, activity of blood serum lysozyme were studied with acute gastro-intestinal hemorrhages (ulcerous etiology in 116 patients, non-ulcerous etiology in 76 patients). The dependence of reduction of indices of phagocytosis and blood serum lysozyme on the degree of blood loss and duration of the posthemorrhagic period was revealed which may be used in clinical practice.

D007113	Immunity, Innate	The capacity of a normal organism to remain unaffected by microorganisms and their toxins. It results from the presence of naturally occurring ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS, constitutional factors such as BODY TEMPERATURE and immediate acting immune cells such as NATURAL KILLER CELLS.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D009113	Muramidase	A basic enzyme that is present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. It functions as an antibacterial agent. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin. EC 3.2.1.17.	Lysozyme,Leftose,N-Acetylmuramide Glycanhydrolase,Glycanhydrolase, N-Acetylmuramide,N Acetylmuramide Glycanhydrolase
D010437	Peptic Ulcer	Ulcer that occurs in the regions of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT which come into contact with GASTRIC JUICE containing PEPSIN and GASTRIC ACID. It occurs when there are defects in the MUCOSA barrier. The common forms of peptic ulcers are associated with HELICOBACTER PYLORI and the consumption of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS).
