Sialyl Salivary–Type Amylase Associated with Ovarian Cancer

Abstract

The criteria were: a S3 to S2 ratio of over 1.0 and/or acidic fast-migrated sub-bands from S4 to S6. The sera were stored at-80ºC until required. A sample with a normal amylase isoenzyme electrophoretic pattern was used as control in the analyses of neuraminidase treatment, reaction with anti-salivary monoclonal antibody, and size-exclusion HPLC. 2.2. Measurement of total amylase activity Total serum amylase activity was measured on a Hitachi 7170 automated analyzer with G4-CNP as substrate (Toyobo, Osaka, Japan) at 37ºC. The reference interval of total serum amylase activity was from 40 to 160 U/L.

Hyperamylasaemia with Multiple Myeloma: A Case Report

“…Hastalarda genellikle anemi, kemik ağrısı, kreatinin düzeyinde artış, halsizlik, hiperkalsemi ve kilo kaybı ile karşılaşılmasına rağmen literatürde alışılmışın dışında hiperamilazemi ile kliniğe başvuran hastalar bulunmaktadır (1). Hiperamilazemi genelde malign epitelyal tümörlerle beraber tanımlanmıştır, fakat nadiren osteosarkom, feokromasitoma, MM gibi nonepitelyal tümörlerde de görüldüğü rapor edilmiştir (2)(3)(4)(5). Bu olguda MM tanılı hastanın hiperamilazemi eşliğinde progresyonu sunulmuştur.…”
