A new sensitive cardiac Troponin T rapid test (TROPT) for the detection of experimental acute myocardial damage in ratsT Bertsch
Institute for Clinical Chemistry, Faculty of Clinical Medicine Mannheim of the University of Heidelberg, Germany
Exp Toxicol Pathol 51:565-9. 1999..If the time range between the induction of the injury and the use of the test strip or the ELISA procedure is too wide, in our experiments 24 h, false negative results may occur...
Hypertonic-hyperoncotic solutions decrease cardiac troponin I concentrations in peripheral blood in a porcine ischemia-reperfusion modelT Bertsch
Institute for Clinical Chemistry, Klinikum Mannheim gGmbH, Faculty of Clinical Medicine Mannheim of the University of Heidelberg, Germany
Exp Toxicol Pathol 53:153-6. 2001..We observed that cTnI serum levels of animals treated with hypertonic-hyperoncotic solutions were significantly lower than those treated with saline. We conclude that hypertonic-hyperoncotic solutions may have cardioprotective effects...
Protein S-100B: a serum marker for ischemic and infectious injury of cerebral tissueT Bertsch
Departmentof Clinical Chemistry, Clinic Mannheim, University of Heidelberg, Germany
Clin Chem Lab Med 39:319-23. 2001..In conclusion, serum levels of S-100B reflect the time course of tissue injury in cerebral ischemia and cerebral infection to a similar extent. Thus, S-100B may be a useful marker to assess cerebral tissue injury...
Homocysteine in cerebrovascular disease: an independent risk factor for subcortical vascular encephalopathyT Bertsch
Department of Clinical Chemistry, Clinic Mannheim, University of Heidelberg, Germany
Clin Chem Lab Med 39:721-4. 2001..7; CI 2.5-12.9) in comparison to other vascular risk factors such as hypertension, age and smoking. These observations indicate that hyperhomocysteinemia is a strong independent risk factor for SVE...
Cardiac troponin I and cardiac troponin T increases in pigs during ischemia-reperfusion damageT Bertsch
Institute for Clinical Chemistry, Faculty of Clinical Medicine Mannheim of the University of Heidelberg, Mannheim, Germany
Exp Toxicol Pathol 52:157-9. 2000..Further studies are needed for correlation of troponin serum levels and histopathological damage in this model especially if it is used to test beneficial or toxicological effects of radical neutralizing drugs...
Endothelin-1 in subarachnoid hemorrhage: An acute-phase reactant produced by cerebrospinal fluid leukocytesK Fassbender
Department of Neurology, Clinic Mannheim, University of Heidelberg, Germany
Stroke 31:2971-5. 2000..In our study, we performed clinical and in vitro experiments to investigate the origin and the mechanisms of the secretion of endothelin-1 in SAH...
Inflammatory cytokines in subarachnoid haemorrhage: association with abnormal blood flow velocities in basal cerebral arteriesK Fassbender
Department of Neurology, University Clinic Mannheim, University of Heidelberg, Theodor-Kutzer-Ufer, 68135 Mannheim, Germany
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry 70:534-7. 2001..Together, these findings suggest a role of excessive compartmentalised inflammatory host response in pathogenesis of cerebrovascular complications after SAH...
Temporal profile of release of interleukin-1beta in neurotraumaK Fassbender
Department of Neurology, University Clinic Mannheim, University of Heidelberg, Theodor Kutzer Ufer 1 3, D 68135, Mannheim, Germany
Neurosci Lett 284:135-8. 2000..This so far unrecognized acuity of IL-1beta release demonstrated here, may represent a precondition for the orchestrating role of this mediator in the cascade of inflammatory host response...
Source of endothelin-1 in subarachnoid hemorrhageT Bertsch
Department of Clinical Chemistry, Clinic Mannheim, University of Heidelberg, Germany
Clin Chem Lab Med 39:341-5. 2001..This finding may have important therapeutic implications as anti-leukocyte strategies could prevent cerebrovascular complications in SAH patients...
Aggregation-Dependent interaction of the Alzheimer's beta-amyloid and microgliaF Muehlhauser
Department of Neurology, University of Heidelberg, Mannheim, Germany
Clin Chem Lab Med 39:313-6. 2001..In the case of the living brain, the presence of deposits of fibrillar amyloid peptide could maintain a chronic microglial activation, ultimately leading to the progressive neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer's disease...
Parameters for determination of Candida albicans virulence in murine peritonitisM Kretschmar
Institut fur Medizinische Mikrobiologie und Hygiene, Klinikum Mannheim, Germany
Mycoses 42:19-24. 1999..albicans to invade neighbouring organs, to reach the brain upon dissemination and germination in the brain and kidneys may be used for measurement of virulence in this model when virulence is defined as lethality...
Simvastatin strongly reduces levels of Alzheimer's disease beta -amyloid peptides Abeta 42 and Abeta 40 in vitro and in vivoK Fassbender
Department of Neurology, Clinic Mannheim, University of Heidelberg, Theodor-Kutzer-Ufer 1-3, D-68167 Mannheim, Germany
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 98:5856-61. 2001..Lowered levels of Abeta42 may provide the mechanism for the observed reduced incidence of dementia in statin-treated patients and may open up avenues for therapeutic interventions...
