1. AvaliaÃÃo dos nÃveis de pseudocolinesterase em portadores de esquistossomose mansÃnica na forma hepatoesplÃnica
Introduction: The hepatosplenic form of Schistosoma mansoni impairs a numbers of metabolic and liver activities that may interfere with the hepatic anesthetic drugs. The use of neuromuscular blockers in anesthesia are two objectives: 1) to provide relaxations of the muscles for endotracheal intubation; and 2) to preserve suitable conditions for the ventilati

2. A atividade da pseudocolinesterase em alcoolatras
The influence of chronic alcoholism on pseudocholinesterase activity was studied in a sample of 125 male alcoholics. The activity of pseudocholinesterase at admission and hospital discharge was analysed by a t test for paired data. It was demonstrated that pseudocholinesterase rises significantly in the majority of chronic alcoholics after a month abstinency

3. Pseudocholinesterase activity in thyroid disease
The present evidence indicates that serum pseudocholinesterase activity is increased to about 20% above the normal level in thyrotoxicosis and decreased by about 30% in myxoedema. Treatment restores the esterase level to the average mean activity of random normal as the patient becomes euthyroid.

6. ALTERATIONS IN SERUM ENZYMES AFTER REPEATED EXPOSURE TO MALATHION
The alterations in serum pseudo-cholinesterase, transaminases, and aldolase observed in 12 agricultural workers exposed to the organo-phosphorus insecticide, malathion, over a period of six months are recorded. A comparison with a series of unselected controls and a series of manual workers is made. Evidence is produced that the majority of the agricultural

7. Organophosphates and monocyte esterase deficiency.
AIMS--To examine the possibility that monocyte esterase deficiency (MED) could be caused by exposure to organophosphates. METHODS--Pseudocholinesterase, paraoxonase and arylesterase activities were measured in the serum and acetylcholinesterase activity was measured in the red cells of a group of monocyte esterase deficient subjects and compared with the enz

8. Diagnostic value of liver function tests and Entamoeba histolytica antibody studies in East Africans
Liver function tests and Entamoeba histolytica (E.H.) antibody titres have been studied in a variety of tropical and liver diseases. Patients with hepatic amoebiasis had a raised E.H. antibody titre and tended to have a low pseudocholinesterase activity. In two cases of amoebic liver abscess, which were treated by aspiration and emetine, there was a remarkab

9. Clumping of acetylcholinesterase activity in the developing striatum of the human fetus and young infant
The distribution of acetylcholinesterase activity (acetylcholine acetylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.7) in the developing human striatum has been studied histochemically in autopsy material from fetal brains of estimated gestational ages 16-29 weeks (180-1000 g) and from the brains of infants 2 days to 4 months old. The findings provide evidence that striatal acetylch

10. Cerebrospinal fluid enzymes in acute brain injury. 1. Dynamics of changes in CSF enzyme activity after acute experimental brain injury.
Changes in CSF enzyme activity were studied after brain trauma for their prognostic value. Raised values of CPK and HBDH were demonstrated in the CSF of patients with severe brain injuries. Standardised cold lesions of the brain were induced in cats. The activities of the enzymes CPK, HBDH, LDH, GOT, GPT, and pseudocholinesterase were studied at half hour in

11. An asymmetric form of muscle acetylcholinesterase contains three subunit types and two enzymic activities in one molecule.
We have purified completely the principal asymmetric ("heavy") form of acetylcholinesterase (Ac-ChoEase; EC 3.1.1.7) from chick muscle (i.e., the synaptic form in the twitch muscle fibers) by using a monoclonal antibody that recognizes AcChoEase but not pseudocholinesterase (ChoEase; cholinesterase, EC 3.1.1.8). The purified protein exhibits catalytic and in

12. Occupational exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls in electrical workers. II. Health effects.
Health conditions were evaluated in 80 electrical workers exposed for many years to polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) mixtures with a 42% mean chlorine content, who had blood PCB concentrations from 41 to 1319 micrograms/kg. The clinical study was based on personal history data, physical examination, and laboratory tests (red cell and leukocyte count; determina
