Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) has been shown to be a promising host marker for periodontal disease progression. The aim of the present study was to analyze AST in the crevicular fluid (CF) of implants exhibiting peri-implantitis and to evaluate the association between AST levels and progressive attachment loss. Twenty patients who had received a total of 42 endosseous cylindric titanium impl...

Seraclear-HE, containing seven enzyme analytes from human sources, was evaluated as an intermethod calibrator for aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) to transfer Reference Method values to seven routine methods, including one based on hydrogen peroxide detection for possible unification of values (interlaboratory comparability of data). The commutabilities of AST...

(1) showed that pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (a phos-phorylated derivative of vitamin B6) is essential for serum aspartate trans-aminase (AST) activity.This coen-zyme is bound to an amino group of the enzyme during transfer,becoming pyridoxamine phosphate (2). In 1954, Karmen et al. (3) described a practical method of measuring AST activity. Although they gave no data, they did add buffered pyridoxal...

BACKGROUND: Various biological markers have been proposed to predict subclinical events in subjects with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV). However, studies regarding HBV infection are still limited. The current study aimed investigate the relationship between osteoprotegerin (OPG) and interleukin-37 (IL-37) serum levels subjects.METHODS: Sixty without previous treatment 30 healthy were included ...

Epidemiological data suggests that approximately 10-65% of patients with mild to moderate COVID-19 have persistent symptoms already after an acute infection, which may last for six months or more. Previous clinical studies shown similar also occur in the liver. Russian scientists studied phenomenon hyperammonemia phase COVID-19, but problem elevated blood ammonia levels post - COVID syndrome ha...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore the relationship between different risk factors (especially serum alanine aminotransferase [ALT] and aspartate aminotransferase [AST]) and coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS A total of 610 inpatients were recruited. Initial coronary angiography (CAG) was performed to evaluate the severity of coronary lesions. On the basis of findings from CAG, patients...

PURPOSE We sought to examine the relationship between the clinical manifestations of nonspecific reactive hepatitis and respiratory virus infection in pediatric patients. METHODS Patients admitted to the pediatric unit of Konyang University Hospital for lower respiratory tract disease between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014 and who underwent reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reacti...

OBJECTIVE To measure aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity in the pulp of teeth treated with fixed appliances for 6 months, and compare it with AST activity measured in untreated teeth. METHODS The study sample consisted of 16 healthy subjects (mean age 25.7 ± 4.3 years) who required the extraction of maxillary premolars for orthodontic reasons. Of these, 6 individuals had a total of 11 s...

Aim: To determine the potential hematological predictors and biochemical markers for assessing severity in patients presenting with dengue Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at Jinnah Medical College/ District Specialist Naseerullah Babar Memorial Hospital, Peshawar duration from March, 2022 to August, on 150 Dengue NS1 (ICT) positive patients. Hematological were assessed among sever...
