Prostate-Specific Antigen in Ascitic Fluid [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Chemistry, 1997
Although previously thought to be produced almost exclusively by the epithelial cells of the prostate (1), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is produced and secreted by several extraprostatic sources (2)(3). Considering the high degree of homology of PSA with the human glandular kallikrein (hKGK1) (4)(5) and the activation of the kallikrein–kinin system ...

Impaired innate immune response of leukocytes from ascitic fluid of patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis

open access: yesJournal of Leukocyte Biology, 2015
An ascitic microenvironment can condition the immune response of cells from cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. To characterize this response, we determined the cytokine concentrations in ascitic fluid and analyzed the phenotype ...

Case Report: Detection and quantification of tumor cells in peripheral blood and ascitic fluid from a metastatic esophageal cancer patient using the CellSearch® technology [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/2hr]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2014
Analysis of ascitic fluid should help to identify and characterize malignant cells in gastrointestinal cancer. However, despite a high specificity, the sensitivity of traditional ascitic fluid cytology remains insufficient, at around 60%.

Ascitic fluid analysis for the differentiation of malignancy related and nonmalignant ascites [PDF]

open access: yes, 1991
The authors tried to differentiate malignancy-related from nonmalignant ascites with a sequence of sensitive followed by specific ascitic-fluid parameters. There were four results of this study. First, of nine parameters investigated in a first series of

Ascitic fluid pH and lactate: Insensitive and nonspecific tests in detecting ascitic fluid infection [PDF]

open access: yesHepatology, 1991
Ascitic fluid pH and lactate concentration have been proposed as useful tests for the detection of ascitic fluid infection. However, past studies involved small numbers of infected patients, and all did not use optimal culture techniques.

Electrophoretic Studies of the Proteins of Plasma and Ascitic Fluid in Cirrhosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 1960
A series of plasma and ascitic fluid specimens withdrawn from patients with cirrhosis, and a series from one patient over a seven-week period prior to his death, were subjected to electrophoretic analysis.

Absent in melanoma 2 triggers a heightened inflammasome response in ascitic fluid macrophages of patients with cirrhosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background & aims: Inflammation is a common event in the pathogenesis of liver cirrhosis. The inflammasome pathway has acquired significant relevance in the pathogenesis of inflammation, but its role in the inflammatory response in patients with ...

Comparative assessment of the exosomal tumor-associated microRNA levels in blood plasma and ascitic fluid in ovarian cancer patients

open access: yesУспехи молекулярной онкологии, 2023
Introduction. Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the malignant neoplasms of the female reproductive system with a high mortality rate. Currently used tumor markers of this pathology do not have high sensitivity and specificity. In this regard, promising areas
