Bovine lung

Aminopeptidase P is present in the microvillar membranes of pig and human kidney, and membrane-bound forms are also present in rat intestine and lung, bovine lung and guinea pig kidney. Soluble forms occur in rat serum and brain, human platelets and guinea pig serum, and it has also been characterized from human leukocytes. It is one of a group of cell-surface proteins anchored in the lipid bilayer by glycolyl-phosphatidylinositol (see Membrane lipids). 

Valve Problems. The primary solution to valve problems has been implantable replacement valves. The introduction of these devices necessitates open-heart surgery. There are two types of valves available tissue (porcine and bovine) and mechanical. The disadvantage of tissue valves is that these have a limited life of about seven years before they calcify, stiffen, and have to be replaced. The mechanical valves can last a lifetime, but require anticoagulant therapy. In some patients, anticoagulants may not be feasible or may be contraindicated. Of the valves which require replacement, 99% are mitral and aortic valves. The valves on the left side of the heart are under much greater pressure because the left ventricle is pumping blood out to the entire body, instead of only to the lungs. Occasionally, two valves are replaced in the same procedure.

From animal tissue, especially bovine lung and liver (e. g. autolysis of comminuted tissue parts, heating with ammonium sulfate in alkaline solution, filtration and acidification yield heparin as complex with protein, removal of fat with alcohol and treatment with trypsine for the purpose of decomposition of proteins, precipitation with alcohol and various purification methods).

Vascuiar and sexuai effects Ginseng saponin has demonstrated vasoactive effects. It activates the release of NO from bovine aortic endothelium, and from the endothelial cells and perivascular nerve of the rabbit corpus cavernosum (Kim HS et al. 1998 Ko et al. 1996 Choi and Seong 1995 Chen and Lee 1995). Nitric oxide synthesis is also observed in the endothelium of the lung, heart, and kidney (Gillis 1997).

The fatality rate was also analyzed in the group of 97 randomly-selected patients with acute pancreatitis, treated in Minsk hospitals prior to 1988 by a similar treatment program using HS over uncoated activated carbon sorbents of the SKN type [5], Eighteen healthy donors served as control. It should be noted that patients in both groups were treated with intravenous infusion of the protease inhibitor from bovine lung (Contrykal, Dresden, Germany 5,000 U per body mass per day).

The new MSPs (Figs. 12.1 and 12.2) offer some advantages over heparin. They show considerably low contamination levels of virus and/or prions because they are exclusively extracted from marine sources. Contamination in clinical solutions of heparin can occur more easily, as this compound is extracted from mammalian sources, like porcine and bovine intestinal mucosa and bovine lung (Mourao, 2004). Moreover, the invertebrate MSPs are promising to be more useful clinical reagents than algal...
