Tuberculosis of the peritoneal cavity
Journal of British Surgery, 1978 Abstract The clinical presentation and management of 30 consecutive patients with tuberculous pertonitis are reviewed. Seventy per cent of the patients were aged 40 years or less and 80 per cent were immigrants. The main clinical features of abdominal pain, loss of weight, vomiting and sweating at night had been present in a large number

Effect of high glucose concentration on the synthesis of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 in human peritoneal mesothelial cells: Involvement of protein kinase C [PDF]
, 2001 Human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HMC) contribute to the activation and control of inflammatory processes in the peritoneum by their potential to produce various inflammatory mediators.

Expression of factor V by resident macrophages boosts host defense in the peritoneal cavity [PDF]
, 2019 Macrophages resident in different organs express distinct genes, but understanding how this diversity fits into tissue-specific features is limited. Here, we show that selective expression of coagulation factor V (FV) by resident peritoneal macrophages ...

Isolation of Mouse Peritoneal Cavity Cells [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2010 The peritoneal cavity is a membrane-bound and fluid-filled abdominal cavity of mammals, which contains the liver, spleen, most of the gastro-intestinal tract and other viscera. It harbors a number of immune cells including macrophages, B cells and T cells.
