Collagen Diseases. In patients with inflammation such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, infection, or injmy, two factors may lead to zinc deficiency. The loss of zinc from catabolized tissue (62) and mobilization of zinc by leucocytic endogenous mediator (LEM) (63)... 

In damaged tissues, mobilization of leucocytes takes place. Leucocytes present in the bloodstream slow down, then stop along the inside endothelial wall of the venule, and finally cross it by embedding themselves between the cells next to the injury this is the inflammatory response. This mobilization involves a multiplicity...

Chromatographic conditions column, Lichrosorb Diol (250x4.6 mm I.D.) mobile phase, 80% n-propanol/0.1 N sodium acetate, pH 7.5, elution was achieved with a linear gradient of decreasing propanol concentration as shown flow rate, 0.25 ml/min temperature, ambient detection, post-column fluorescence using fluram. Reproduced from Rubinstein et al. (1980), with...

Chromatographic conditions column, DC-4A (Dumim) (500 x 4.6 mm I.D.) mobile phase, 0.175 N sodium citrate, 2.5% isopropanol, pH 3.5 (Buffer A), 0.175 N sodium citrate, pH 3.45 (Buffer B), 0.2 N sodium citrate, 0.05% thiodiglycol, pH 4.1 (Buffer C), 0.52 N sodium citrate, 1 N sodium chloride, 0.05% thiodiglycol, pH 7.9 (Buffer D), elution was achieved with the following gradient Buffer A (15 min). Buffer B (17 min). Buffer C (24 min). Buffer D (41 min), flow rate, 18 ml/h temperature, 57 ° C. Peaks 1, aspartic acid 2, threonine 3, serine 4, glutamic acid 5, cysteine 6, proline 7, glycine 8, alanine 10, valine 11, methionine 12, isoleucine 13, leucine 14, norleucine 15, tyrosine 16, phenylalanine 17, histidine 18, lysine 19, ammonia 21, arginine. Reproduced from Stein and Brink (1981), with...

A mild neutropenia has also been evident apart from the whooping cough period. The polymorphonuclear leucocytes appear normal and 3-monthly tests of bacteriocidal killing, mobility, opsonisation and chemiluminescence have been normal.
