    Notes: Summary We examined the changes in the intracerebral activities, at the time of postmortem autopsy, in patients with Alzheimer's disease. When compared with the control group, the activity of kallikrein-like enzyme was significantly decreased, while prolyl endopeptidase activity increased, in the patients group. Aprotinin inhibited 50% of the activity of the former enzyme at 2×10−7M. Taken together with the results of a multivariate study, the above findings may indicate that intracerebral kallikrein deficiency plays an important role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

    Notes: Abstract Previously we reported that there is a kallikrein deficiency in the cerebral tissue of patients with Alzheimer-type dementia. The present study was performed to investigate protease changes in the serum of these patients. The results showed that the kallikrein activity was normal, but that the activities of plasmin and urokinase were significantly low. The present findings indicate a derangement in the clotting and fibrinolytic systems in Alzheimer patients.

    Notes: Abstract The presence of leukocytes in the diseased kidneys is a hallmark of almost any kind of renal disease. Activated leukocytes are implicated in playing a crucial role in the pathogenesis of renal diseases. Recent investigations of the pathophysiological roles of chemokines and their cognate receptors have shed light on the detailed molecular mechanisms of leukocyte trafficking and activation in the diseased kidneys. This study summarizes findings that: (1) chemokine/chemokine receptor systems may be essentially involved in the pathogenesis of phase-specific renal disorders, (2) the measurement of urinary levels of chemokines may be clinically useful for monitoring different disease phases and activities in human renal diseases, and (3) interventions in chemokine/chemokine receptor systems may have potential as particular immunotherapeutic strategies to combat specific phases of renal diseases. Further investigations of anti-chemokine therapies for renal diseases will be required before clinical application is feasible.
