Tryptase is predominantly found in mast cells, where it resides in secretory granules, and is released with other mediators during mast cell degranulation. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
RESULTS: The patients' spot urine sample tryptase levels were indistinguishable from those of controls, which included the normal women volunteers. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
No correlation was found between the IgE levels and tryptase in either group, supporting the hypothesis that tryptase release was not mediated by an allergic reaction. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
No correlation was found between the IgE levels and tryptase in either group, supporting the hypothesis that tryptase release was not mediated by an allergic reaction. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
In an anaphylactic reaction of grade II, which happened after the administering of vecuronium, tryptase was not detected. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
METHOD: Plasma levels of tryptase, a specific marker for mast cell degranulation, were measured by immuno-assay at baseline and 60 min after heroin administration. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The common signs in both cases were skin changes of urticaria pigmentosa, presence of Darier's symptom, very high blood levels of tryptase and prostaglandin D2 and rise in urinary LTE4 concentration. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The mast cell tryptase was also significantly elevated at 76 microg/L, (Normal 2-14 microg/L). | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Although preliminary due to the limited numbers of patients, they also suggest that increased levels of neurotrophin-3, nerve growth factor, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor and tryptase in the urine could serve as a basis for adjunct diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of interstitial cystitis.

|
CONCLUSION: Serum levels of tryptase are not elevated in patients with acute coronary syndromes. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Levels of tryptase did not differ between patients with acute myocardial infarction (7.9+/-4.6 microg/l), unstable angina pectoris (6.0+/-2.1 microg/l) or controls (6.9+/-4.1 microg/l), nor could a relation with levels of C-reactive protein be demonstrated. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
METHODS: Serum levels of tryptase were determined in the following three groups of patients: 13 patients with acute myocardial infarction, 10 patients with unstable angina pectoris, and 14 patients without ischaemic cardiovascular disease who were used as controls. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Mast cell activity can be determined by measuring serum levels of tryptase, as has been demonstrated in patients with anaphylaxis and mastcytosis. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
HYPOTHESIS: Acute coronary events (acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina pectoris) are associated with increased mast cell activity, reflected by elevated serum tryptase levels. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Synchronous appearance of fibronectin, integrin alpha 5 beta 1, vinculin and actin in epithelial cells and fibroblasts during rat tracheal wound healing. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
The appearances of fibronectin, alpha 5 beta 1, vinculin and actin in regenerating epithelial cells and fibroblasts during tracheal wound healing are well coordinated. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Immunoelectron microscopy 2 days after injury showed that alpha 5 beta 1 and vinculin were localized on the basal and lateral surfaces of regenerating epithelial cells and fibroblast surfaces, and fibronectin was localized just under the regenerating epithelial cells, around collagen fibrils and sporadically around fibroblasts. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
Brownish granules in the cytoplasm were recognized as positive staining for tryptase. | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
We calculated the tryptase positive mast cells in 5 representative areas at 400× magnification by Image-Pro Plus 5.0 (USA)
Statistics | |||||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||||
|
BACKGROUND: Mast cell tryptase is used clinically in the evaluation of anaphylaxis during anesthesia, because symptoms and signs of anaphylaxis are often masked by the effect of anesthesia. | |||||||||||||||
