Amylases

01/01/1985 - "Thus, including P3 activity in the diagnostic criteria will eliminate most false-positive results for pancreatitis based on total amylase activity alone, and should decrease the need for expensive radiologic procedures currently required to confirm the presence of pancreatitis. "
01/01/1976 - "The amylase activity of the fast-gamma fraction rises in acute exacerbation, and falls in cases of chronic calcifying pancreatitis and in cases with a marked decrease in pancreatic exocrine function. "
04/01/1980 - "Amylase levels remained stable at 4 and 20 degrees C and may be beneficial for diagnosing pancreatitis. "
07/01/1979 - "Sixteen pancreatitis patients with serum amylase (SAm) within the normal range had a mean CACR significantly greater than that of 19 hospital control patients with normal SAm (9.2 +/- 1.5 vs. 3.0 +/- 0.4, P less than .001). "
10/01/1976 - "Normal clearance of pancreatic-like amylase was significantly (P less than 0.001) less than the clearance of total serum amylase in acute pancreatitis (6.49 +/- 1.07%). "

01/01/1977 - "On remission, however, hyperamylasemia due to high S-amylase activity has been found. "
12/01/1990 - "Hyperamylasemia can result either from an increased rate of entry of amylase into the circulation and/or a decreased metabolic clearance of this enzyme. "
05/01/1995 - "Marked fluctuation in serum amylase, ranging from 115 to 1160% in this study, may occur in patients with macroamylasemia. "
08/01/1992 - "This study was undertaken to investigate the incidence of postoperative hyperamylasemia and amylase levels of intraperitoneal drainage in 106 patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. "
09/01/1980 - "[Studies on macroamylasemia with special reference to the components bound to amylase and follow-up of the clinical course (author's transl)]."

04/01/2014 - "Pancreatic tissues of these mice also had higher levels of serum amylase, acinar cell death, leukocyte infiltration, and interstitial edema than controls. "
05/01/2013 - "Serum amylase activity, pancreatic edema, lung vascular permeability, MPO activity, and inflammatory infiltration were significantly increased after AP. "
01/01/2010 - "Amylase, serum AST, edema and inflammatory infiltration levels differed between groups (amylase: p = 0.0001, serum AST: p = 0.001, edema: p = 0.0001 and inflammatory infiltration: p = 0.002), group 1 showing the highest amylase, serum AST and edema levels. "
06/01/2004 - "Pancreatic injury was assessed by plasma amylase activity, pancreatic wet/dry weight ratio (edema), histological and electron-microscopic analyses, as well as fluorescence labeling of actin filaments. "
04/01/2004 - "The degree of pancreatic edema, serum amylase level, local pancreatic blood flow (PBF), and histological alterations were investigated. "

08/01/1991 - "The study population included 133 consecutive patients with a chief complaint of abdominal pain who had amylase drawn over a 2-week period at a university hospital ED. "
01/28/2015 - "Generally, it is defined as the onset of new pancreatic-type abdominal pain severe enough to require hospital admission or prolonged hospital stay with levels of serum amylase two to three times greater than normal, occurring 24 h after ERCP. "
08/07/2013 - "During postprocedural follow-up, abdominal pain and elevated amylase levels were noted in three patients and one patient developed abdominal perforation. "
04/01/2013 - "A 7-year-old girl was referred to our hospital for severe abdominal pain and elevated serum levels of amylase and aminotransferase. "
01/01/2013 - "The main clinical features of this case were abdominal pain and increased levels of plasma amylase as well as liver function test. "

04/01/2004 - "In the rhubarb (150 mg/kg) treated rats, necrosis and polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) infiltration in the pancreas were significantly reduced (P<0.01), and a marked decrease (50%) in serum amylase levels was also observed (P<0.01). "
01/01/2011 - "Platelet depletion reduced acinar cell necrosis, haemorrhage and serum amylase levels in AP. "
08/01/2009 - "Serum amylase levels were exponentially reduced and normalized within 72 h in all patients; no pancreatic necrosis or any other late complications were observed. "
09/01/2006 - "This reduction was indicated by reduced serum amylase activity and histological damage (leukocyte infiltration, vacuolization, and necrosis). "
03/01/2005 - "Moreover, we found areas with comedo-necrosis or PAS positive staining (with or without diastase). "
