The activity of alpha-amylase was measured in isolated granulocytes, serum and urine of 35 patients with acute appendicitis. The measurements were performed before operation and on the 7th day after operation. Slightly increased activity of alpha-amylase was found in the serum and urine of 15 patients. On the 7th day after operation the activity of this enzyme reached normal value. The activity of granulocyte alpha-amylase was elevated in 22 patients. In 2 of them the increased activity still maintained on the 7th day after operation. Positive correlation between the serum and granulocyte alpha-amylase activities was found. These observations allow to conclude that granulocytes are the source of increased alpha-amylase activity in the serum of patients with acute appendicitis.
对35例急性阑尾炎患者的分离粒细胞、血清和尿液中的α-淀粉酶活性进行了测定。测定在手术前和术后第7天进行。15例患者的血清和尿液中α-淀粉酶活性略有升高。术后第7天，该酶的活性恢复正常。22例患者的粒细胞α-淀粉酶活性升高。其中2例患者术后第7天活性仍维持升高状态。发现血清和粒细胞α-淀粉酶活性之间呈正相关。这些观察结果可以得出结论，粒细胞是急性阑尾炎患者血清中α-淀粉酶活性升高的来源。
