In the carboxypeptidase A-catalyzed hydrolysis of O-[trans-alpha-(benzoylamino)-cinnamoyl]-L-beta-phenyllactate (BACPL) or O-[trans-alpha-(benzoylamino)-p-(phenylazo)cinnamoyl]-L-beta-phenyllacta te (BAPACPL), biphasic kinetic behavior was observed due to the accumulation of an intermediate. At -12 degrees C, conversion of the intermediate into the product was much slower than the formation of the intermediate, which accumulated in quantitative amounts. From the absorbance changes observed during the formation process of the intermediate, the concentration of active site of the enzyme was determined.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this work was to illustrate the CT appearance of the independent origin of the hepatic and splenic arteries from the abdominal aorta. METHOD: A retrospective review of available scans from 159 consecutive contrast-enhanced abdominal CT examinations was undertaken to document the frequency with which this vascular variant is seen at helical CT. RESULTS: Independent origin of the hepatic and splenic arteries was seen in 2 of 159 examinations (1.3%). This correlates well with the 1% incidence reported in the angiographic and surgical literature. CONCLUSION: Independent origin of the hepatic and splenic arteries from the aorta should be seen in approximately 1% of abdominal CT examinations. Knowledge of this vascular variant and its CT appearance may prevent confusion or mislabeling.
