近年来把关于结缔组织增生的生化知识用于脏器纤维变性的诊断日益增多,其一即血清单胺氧化酶(下简称为 MAO)之测定。已有用来帮助诊断肝硬变、心肌梗死、肢端肥大症、全身性进行性硬化症等疾病的报告。Sj(?)gren’s 综合征(下简称为 SS)的病理组织学表现也以结缔组织增生、炎性细胞浸润为特征,因而作者对33例 SS 患者的 MAO 进行了研究。 In recent years, the biochemical knowledge about the proliferation of connective tissue used in the diagnosis of organ fibrosis is increasing, the first one is the determination of serum monoamine oxidase (hereinafter referred to as MAO). There are reports to help diagnose diseases such as cirrhosis, myocardial infarction, acromegaly and generalized progressive sclerosis. The pathological findings of Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) were also characterized by connective tissue hyperplasia and inflammatory cell infiltrates, so the authors studied MAO in 33 patients with SS.
