Comparison of immunoreactive renin and plasma renin activity in human plasma.

The Tohoku Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1989
Measurement of immunoreactive plasma renin concentration (PRC) using direct radioimmunoassay (RIA) was compared with the common procedure, measurement of plasma renin activity (PRA). The sensitivity of the PRC assay was 5 pg/ml. In 67 normal subjects aged 45.2 +/- 1.2 year, the mean PRC value was 17.0 +/- 0.9 pg/ml in the recumbent position and 38.0 +/-

Absence of Functional Autoantibodies Targeting Angiotensin II Receptor Type 1 and Endothelin‐1 Type A Receptor in Circulation and Purified IgG From Patients With Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare but severe autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysregulation, fibrosis, and vasculopathy. Although previous studies have highlighted the presence of functional autoantibodies targeting the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) and endothelin‐1 type A receptor (ETAR), leading to autoantibody‐mediated ...

Spectroscopic characterization of atmospheric pressure um-jet plasma source [PDF]

, 2011
A radio frequency um-jet plasma source is studied using He/O2 mixture. This um-jet can be used for different applications as a source of chemical active species e.g. oxygen atoms, molecular metastables and ozone. Using absolutely-calibrated optical emission spectroscopy and numerical simulation, the gas temperature in active plasma region and plasma ...

New Approaches to Blockade of the Renin–Angiotensin–Aldosterone System: Characteristics and Usefulness of the Direct Renin Inhibitor Aliskiren

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
Since renin inhibition interferes with the first and rate-limiting steps in the renin–angiotensin system, the renin step is a very attractive target for lowering blood pressure and minimizing target-organ damage.

Comparison of the effect of midodrine versus octreotide on hemodynamic status in cirrhotic patients with ascites

Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2011
Background: In cirrhotic patients peripheral vasodilatation may decrease renal blood flow and subsequently raises plasma renin activity. Octreotide with several mechanisms causes peripheral arterial vasoconstriction.

The effect of aspirin therapy on the plasma renin activity in myocardial infarction [PDF]

Journal of Kerman University of Medical Sciences, 1995
In this study, the changes of renin system activity and the effects of aspirin therapy on the plasma renin activity ( PRA) in myocardial infarction were investigated. Fifty nine patients with myocardial infarction were selected.

Influence of antihypertensive therapy, sodium intake and the concentration of potassium in plasma on concentration of aldosterone and plasma renin activity [PDF]

Medicinski Glasnik Specijalne Bolnice za Bolesti Štitaste Žlezde i Bolesti Metabolizma "Zlatibor", 2013
Introduction: Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a group of disorders which are characterized by inadequate and non-suppressible production of aldosterone. The prevalence of PA is increasing in hypertensive population.

Study the effect of electrode material, its surface, and dielectric material on plasma and properties of plasma-activated water [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
In the present work, the significance of various components (ground electrode material and its surface (knurling pitch size), power electrode material and type, and dielectric material) of dielectric barrier discharge plasma device (DBD-PD) on plasma and plasma-activated water (PAW) properties are studied. The characterization of plasma is performed by

Up‐titration of medication in patients with new‐onset heart failure with and without atrial fibrillation

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Differences in guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) and clinical outcomes have been observed between heart failure (HF) patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) versus those in sinus rhythm. This study evaluated the effects of up‐titration of HF therapies, consisting of beta‐blockers, angiotensin‐converting‐enzyme inhibitors (ACEis ...

Plasma Medicine: A Brief Introduction [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
This mini review is to introduce the readers of Plasma to the field of plasma medicine. This is a multidisciplinary field of research at the intersection of physics, engineering, biology and medicine. Plasma medicine is only about two decades old, but the research community active in this emerging field has grown tremendously in the last few years ...
