EXPERIMENTAL SUBSTANTIATION OF SELECTING THE PRODUCT FOR SANITATION OF ABDOMINAL CAVITY IN ACUTE GENERALIZED PERITONITIS V.V. Boyko, V.K. Logachev, N.A. Remneva, M.E. Tymchenko, V.P. Nevzorov, O.A. Golovina The work has studied morphological and ultrastructural changes in the mesothelium of rat peritoneum and bacterial contamination after sanitation of abdominal cavity by 0.3% solution of H2O2 ...

Abstract Peritoneum is a serosal membrane lining the solid viscera and hollow viscus of abdomen made single layer mesothelial cells. The most common primaries that spread to peritoneum include gastrointestinal, ovarian, colorectal, peritoneal metastases can be seen at some point during disease course in 15 43%, 60 70% 20% patients, respectively. Other malignancies involving such as primary carc...

Twenty-eight rabbits underwent conjunctival replacement with peritoneal autografts. The grafted peritoneum acted as a scaffold for the remaining healthy conjunctiva which gradually replaced the grafted peritoneum. Peritoneum is not an effective conjunctival substitute as it does not survive in its own right. I should like to thank Professor Norman Ashton, FRS for his most helpful guidance and c...

BACKGROUND The peritoneum is subject to alterations in the life-long course of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Studies of the parietal peritoneum by non-invasive ultrasonography in PD patients are limited. We hypothesize that a prolonged PD duration is associated with a thicker peritoneum on ultrasonography and alterations in Doppler indexes of mesenteric vessels. METHODS We recruited two groups of...

BACKGROUND Primary papillary serous carcinoma of the peritoneum is a well-known entity in women. The tumour is derived from the extraovarian mesothelium and the pelvis and lower abdomen mesothelia. The treatment strategies are similar to ovarian serous papillary carcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS A case of primary serous papillary carcinoma of the peritoneum in a man is presented. The patient, 5...

Sir.?Major Milne ends liis interesting article in the September number of the Indian Medical Gazette hv ask innmo to account for the presence of Phy.tafnnf.era larva; in the peritoneum. As Major Milne states, I received from him for identification a piece of peritoneum from a squirrel containing a number of cysts in each of which lay a Physn'optera larva; and shortly afterwards some adult, memb...

Water transport during peritoneal dialysis (PD) requires ultrasmall pores in the capillary endothelium of the peritoneum and is impaired in the case of peritoneal inflammation. The water channel aquaporin (AQP)-1 has been proposed to be the ultrasmall pore in animal models. To substantiate the role of AQP-1 in the human peritoneum, we investigated the expression of AQP-1, AQP-2, and endothelial...

The source of CA125 synthesis is still debated. Endometrial, peritoneal, ovarian and amniotic cells have been demonstrated to produce and secrete CA125. Different studies show that the peritoneum is a source of CA125. The present study aimed at investigating in vivo and in vitro the peritoneal contribution to circulating CA125. Cultures of uterine peritoneum, abdominal peritoneum and myometrium...

Glucose-based peritoneal dialysate (PD) is responsible for increased accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGE) in the peritoneum of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients. Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), a derivative of vitamin B(6), protects proteins from glycation. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) heals damaged tissues in a reciprocal manner against TGF-beta1. First, with ...
