| | A history of a sore throat within the preceding three months has been found in as few as 20 percent of children; it is rarely mentioned by the patient or the family unless they are specifically questioned about it. | | | In the absence of a history of preexistent murmur, several auscultatory findings point toward acute carditis: an apical systolic murmur greater than grade 3/6 and lasting at least one-half of systole; any apical diastolic murmur; and muffled, distant heart sounds and the presence f a distolic third heart sound. | | | The resurgence of acute rheumatic fever is occurring at a time when many physicians may be unfamiliar with its protean manifestations. |

| | 3606 : Expression of heme oxygenase-1 in rat liver and in rat hepatocytes under inflammatory conditions |
| | Recently, it has been suggested that HO-1 can be involved in acute phase response, a systemic reaction to inflammation and tissue injury. | | | Conclusions: Our data demonstrate that in rat liver the expression of HO-1 is induced at early time-points under the inflammatory conditions both in vivo, in turpentine oil treated rats, and in vitro, in hepatocytes stimulated with proinflammatory cytokines. | | | Thus, HO-1 should be considered not only as oxidative stress protein but also as early intracellular positive acute phase protein, and its role in acute phase response has to be further elucidated. |
