acid-phosphatase and Peritonitis

Acid phosphatase, beta-D-Glucuronidase and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase were assessed cytochemically in peritoneal macrophages obtained from 50 patients with end-stage renal failure treated by intermittent peritoneal dialysis and from 30 control subjects with normal renal function. A statistically significant increase in beta-D-glucuronidase activity accompanied by a decrease in acid phosphatase activity were observed in peritoneal macrophages of dialysed patients, as compared with the control group. In patients with dialysis-associated peritonitis, the activity of N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase was significantly higher than that observed in the same patients during the complication-free period of the treatment.

The examination of 107 patients with acute surgical diseases of the abdominal organs has shown the program of the development of the inflammatory process in the abdominal cavity to be greatly determined by the functional capacity and sequence of activation of lysosome enzymes of polymorphonuclear leukocytes--acid and alkaline phosphatase.

In exsudate cells separated from serous body cavities of 29 tumour patients and 30 patients with inflammatory and congestive effusion in cardiac failure or liver cirrhosis respectively the activities of acid and alkaline phosphatase were determined. In addition to sudanophilia the cell content of glycogen and that of ribonucleinic acid were evaluated. By means of cytochemical findings it could be found that an increase of unspecific esterase, acid phosphatase and ribonucleic acid in atypical cells points to a malignous ethiology of the exudate.

Under observation were 25 patients with grave diffuse peritonitis. Histochemically, the activity of oxidation-reduction enzymes in leukocytes of peripheral blood was determined. It was found that the control of enzymic activity at the cellular level and determination of the concentration of lactic and pyruvic acids permitted the detection of hypoxic alterations in peritonitis, provided an opportunity to judge the dynamics of the pathological process.
