FORWARD In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading."1 Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information dealing with dumping syndrome is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others, a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the general public who want to know as much as possible about dumping syndrome, using the most advanced research tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so. In addition to offering a structured and comprehensive bibliography, the pages that follow will tell you where and how to find reliable information covering virtually all topics related to dumping syndrome, from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. Public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research studies are emphasized. Various abstracts are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on dumping syndrome. Abundant guidance is given on how to obtain free-of-charge primary research results via the Internet. While this book focuses on the field of medicine, when some sources provide access to non-medical information relating to dumping syndrome, these are noted in the text. E-book and electronic versions of this book are fully interactive with each of the Internet sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site indicated). If you are using the hard copy version of this book, you can access a cited Web site by typing the provided Web address directly into your Internet browser. You may find it useful to refer to synonyms or related terms when accessing these Internet databases. NOTE: At the time of publication, the Web addresses were functional. However, some links may fail due to URL address changes, which is a common occurrence on the Internet. For readers unfamiliar with the Internet, detailed instructions are offered on how to access electronic resources. For readers unfamiliar with medical terminology, a comprehensive glossary is provided. For readers without access to Internet resources, a directory of medical libraries, that have or can locate references cited here, is given. We hope these resources will prove useful to the widest possible audience seeking information on dumping syndrome. The Editors

CHAPTER 1. STUDIES ON DUMPING SYNDROME Overview In this chapter, we will show you how to locate peer-reviewed references and studies on dumping syndrome.

The Combined Health Information Database The Combined Health Information Database summarizes studies across numerous federal agencies. To limit your investigation to research studies and dumping syndrome, you will need to use the advanced search options. First, go to http://chid.nih.gov/index.html. From there, select the “Detailed Search” option (or go directly to that page with the following hyperlink: http://chid.nih.gov/detail/detail.html). The trick in extracting studies is found in the drop boxes at the bottom of the search page where “You may refine your search by.” Select the dates and language you prefer, and the format option “Journal Article.” At the top of the search form, select the number of records you would like to see (we recommend 100) and check the box to display “whole records.” We recommend that you type “dumping syndrome” (or synonyms) into the “For these words:” box. Consider using the option “anywhere in record” to make your search as broad as possible. If you want to limit the search to only a particular field, such as the title of the journal, then select this option in the “Search in these fields” drop box. The following is what you can expect from this type of search: •

Octreotide, a Long-Acting Somatostatin Analog, In The Management of Postoperative Dumping Syndrome: An Update Source: Digestive Diseases and Sciences. 38(2): 359-364. February 1993. Summary: Dumping syndrome, first described in 1922, is an important cause of morbidity after gastric surgery. This article provides information on dumping syndrome, focusing on the use of octreotide for management. Three sections cover the etiology, pathogenesis, and management of the disorder. The authors describe the experience to date with octreotide, a long-acting somatostatin analog, used to slow gastric emptying. A detailed table summarizes key clinical studies on octreotide. 2 tables. 51 references.

Dumping Syndrome

Federally Funded Research on Dumping Syndrome The U.S. Government supports a variety of research studies relating to dumping syndrome. These studies are tracked by the Office of Extramural Research at the National Institutes of Health.2 CRISP (Computerized Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects) is a searchable database of federally funded biomedical research projects conducted at universities, hospitals, and other institutions. Search the CRISP Web site at http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/crisp_query.generate_screen. You will have the option to perform targeted searches by various criteria, including geography, date, and topics related to dumping syndrome. For most of the studies, the agencies reporting into CRISP provide summaries or abstracts. As opposed to clinical trial research using patients, many federally funded studies use animals or simulated models to explore dumping syndrome.

The National Library of Medicine: PubMed One of the quickest and most comprehensive ways to find academic studies in both English and other languages is to use PubMed, maintained by the National Library of Medicine.3 The advantage of PubMed over previously mentioned sources is that it covers a greater number of domestic and foreign references. It is also free to use. If the publisher has a Web site that offers full text of its journals, PubMed will provide links to that site, as well as to sites offering other related data. User registration, a subscription fee, or some other type of fee may be required to access the full text of articles in some journals. To generate your own bibliography of studies dealing with dumping syndrome, simply go to the PubMed Web site at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed. Type “dumping syndrome” (or synonyms) into the search box, and click “Go.” The following is the type of output you can expect from PubMed for dumping syndrome (hyperlinks lead to article summaries): •

Healthcare projects are funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA), Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and Office of Assistant Secretary of Health (OASH). 3 PubMed was developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The PubMed database was developed in conjunction with publishers of biomedical literature as a search tool for accessing literature citations and linking to full-text journal articles at Web sites of participating publishers. Publishers that participate in PubMed supply NLM with their citations electronically prior to or at the time of publication.

CHAPTER 2. NUTRITION AND DUMPING SYNDROME Overview In this chapter, we will show you how to find studies dedicated specifically to nutrition and dumping syndrome.

Finding Nutrition Studies on Dumping Syndrome The National Institutes of Health’s Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) offers a searchable bibliographic database called the IBIDS (International Bibliographic Information on Dietary Supplements; National Institutes of Health, Building 31, Room 1B29, 31 Center Drive, MSC 2086, Bethesda, Maryland 20892-2086, Tel: 301-435-2920, Fax: 301-480-1845, E-mail: [email protected]). The IBIDS contains over 460,000 scientific citations and summaries about dietary supplements and nutrition as well as references to published international, scientific literature on dietary supplements such as vitamins, minerals, and botanicals.4 The IBIDS includes references and citations to both human and animal research studies. As a service of the ODS, access to the IBIDS database is available free of charge at the following Web address: http://ods.od.nih.gov/databases/ibids.html. After entering the search area, you have three choices: (1) IBIDS Consumer Database, (2) Full IBIDS Database, or (3) Peer Reviewed Citations Only. Now that you have selected a database, click on the “Advanced” tab. An advanced search allows you to retrieve up to 100 fully explained references in a comprehensive format. Type “dumping syndrome” (or synonyms) into the search box, and click “Go.” To narrow the search, you can also select the “Title” field.

4 Adapted from http://ods.od.nih.gov. IBIDS is produced by the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the National Institutes of Health to assist the public, healthcare providers, educators, and researchers in locating credible, scientific information on dietary supplements. IBIDS was developed and will be maintained through an interagency partnership with the Food and Nutrition Information Center of the National Agricultural Library, U.S. Department of Agriculture.

CHAPTER 4. PATENTS ON DUMPING SYNDROME Overview Patents can be physical innovations (e.g. chemicals, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment) or processes (e.g. treatments or diagnostic procedures). The United States Patent and Trademark Office defines a patent as a grant of a property right to the inventor, issued by the Patent and Trademark Office.5 Patents, therefore, are intellectual property. For the United States, the term of a new patent is 20 years from the date when the patent application was filed. If the inventor wishes to receive economic benefits, it is likely that the invention will become commercially available within 20 years of the initial filing. It is important to understand, therefore, that an inventor’s patent does not indicate that a product or service is or will be commercially available. The patent implies only that the inventor has “the right to exclude others from making, using, offering for sale, or selling” the invention in the United States. While this relates to U.S. patents, similar rules govern foreign patents. In this chapter, we show you how to locate information on patents and their inventors. If you find a patent that is particularly interesting to you, contact the inventor or the assignee for further information. IMPORTANT NOTE: When following the search strategy described below, you may discover non-medical patents that use the generic term “dumping syndrome” (or a synonym) in their titles. To accurately reflect the results that you might find while conducting research on dumping syndrome, we have not necessarily excluded nonmedical patents in this bibliography.

Patent Applications on Dumping Syndrome As of December 2000, U.S. patent applications are open to public viewing.6 Applications are patent requests which have yet to be granted. (The process to achieve a patent can take several years.) The following patent applications have been filed since December 2000 relating to dumping syndrome:

Dumping Syndrome

Effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36) on antro-pyloro-duodenal motility Inventor(s): Goeke, Burkhard; (Gauting, DE), Schirra, Joerg; (Kirchhain, DE) Correspondence: Beth A. Burrous; Foley & Lardner; Washington Harbour; 3000 K Street, N.W., Suite 500; Washington; DC; 20007; US Patent Application Number: 20020098195 Date filed: March 14, 2001 Abstract: The present invention provides an effective method for inhibiting antroduodenal motility in healthy subjects and patients suffering from various disorders, without the side effects associated with other pharmaceutical compositions. GLP-1 slows antro-duodenal motility and may be used for the treatment or prevention of gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhea, postoperative dumping syndrome and irritable bowel syndrome, and also premedication in endoscopic procedures. Excerpt(s): The present invention relates to inhibiting antro-duodenal motility with GLP-1 and methods to alleviate discomfort during endoscopy and to alleviate symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders. Glucagon has been widely used to cause a variable reduction in gastroduodenal motility. The effect of glucagon appears to be dose-dependent with a minimally effective dose being 0.5 mg. Glucagon, however, does not facilitate colonoscopic evaluation (Norfleet, Gastrointest. Endosc., 24, 164-5, 1978), and at doses as high as 2 mg glucagon does not reduce contractions in the antrum (Gregerson et al., Scand. J. Gastroenterol. 23 (Supp 152), 42-47 (1988)). Furthermore, glucagon is contraindicated in persons with diabetes (Paul & Freyschmidt, ROFO Rortschr. Geb. Rontgenstr. Nuklearmed., 125, 31-7 (1996)), is expensive and its efficacy has been questioned. Side effects associated with the use of glucagon include nausea and vomiting. The effects are dose-dependent and can appear at a dose of 1 mg (Larsen et al., Scand. J. Gastroenterol. 21, 634-640, 1986; Gregersen et al., supra, Diamant Handbook Experimental Pharm, Lefevre ed., Vol. 66/2, 611-643, 1983). As dosages required to sufficiently reduce motility frequently exceed 1 mg, side effects from glucagon use are common. Such side effects render the patient extremely uncomfortable and often cause the endoscopic procedure to be interrupted or aborted. Web site: http://appft1.uspto.gov/netahtml/PTO/search-bool.html

PRICE: $58.25. ISBN: 0314044485. Summary: Diet planners use two types of carbohydrate-modified diets: one type prescribes the amount of carbohydrate whereas the other eliminates a specific type of carbohydrate. This chapter, from a text on nutrition and diet therapy, first describes diabetes mellitus, a disorder that benefits from a carbohydrate-controlled diet. Next, the chapter covers hypoglycemia and the dumping syndrome, disorders that benefit from diets that control both the amount and type of carbohydrate. Finally, the authors examine lactose intolerance, a disorder in which one type of carbohydrate, specifically

Dumping Syndrome

lactose, must be restricted. The section on diabetes covers the treatment of insulindependent diabetes (IDDM), notably the use of insulin, diet and activity, coordinating therapy, and special concerns for children and teens with IDDM; the treatment of noninsulin-dependent diabetes (NIDDM), including the roles of dietary and drug therapies; and diabetes in pregnancy and later life. The chapter concludes with a case study depicting a child with IDDM. •

PRICE: $59.95 for members, $70.00 for nonmembers. ISBN: 0880911875. Summary: Medical nutrition therapy (MNT) is used for patients who have undergone gastric (stomach) surgery to provide adequate energy and nutrients to support tissue healing following surgery, and to minimize reflux (return of stomach contents to the esophagus or mouth), early satiety, dumping syndrome, or weight loss. This chapter on gastric surgery is from a comprehensive manual of clinical dietetics designed to help dietitians, physicians, and nurses deliver quality nutrition care. The chapter includes the purpose of nutrition care, the indications for use, a description of the diet, meal planning approaches, a definition of the disease or condition, and a discussion section. The guidelines are designed for individuals who undergo a surgical procedure involving bypass or excision of the pyloric sphincter, resulting in an inability to regular normal emptying of the stomach. Surgical procedures include vagotomy, pyloroplasty, hemigastrectomy involving Billroth I and II anastomosis, total gastrectomy, esophagogastrectomy, Whipple's procedure, gastroenterostomy, gastrojejunostomy, and Roux-en-y esophagojejunostomy. In general, the diet follow gastric surgery limits beverages and liquids at meals and the intake of simple carbohydrates, is high in protein and moderate in fat, and avoids foods that are known to increase intestinal peristalsis, such as caffeine. 1 figure. 1 table. 4 references.

Summary: This chapter on disorders of gastric emptying is from a lengthy, two-volume textbook that integrates the various demands of science, technology, expanding information, good judgment, and common sense into the diagnosis and management of gastrointestinal patients. Gastric motility disorders include delayed gastric emptying (gastroparesis), rapid gastric emptying (as seen in dumping syndrome), and disorders with motor and sensory abnormalities (e.g., functional dyspepsia). Each disorder can present with a spectrum of symptoms that may be mild, leading to empiric treatment, or severe and incapacitating. Evaluation may guide treatments that target the underlying pathophysiology. Management of these patients requires an understanding of the pathophysiology, clinical tests, and new treatment options. 3 figures. 6 tables. 312 references.

Summary: This chapter, from a gastroenterology yearbook, covers rapid gastric emptying. Rapid gastric emptying has been demonstrated in a myriad of medical conditions, and has been a well-recognized problem following gastric surgery. After a section outlining postgastrectomy dumping, the authors consider other causes of rapid gastric emptying and the interplay of gastric emptying and other diseases, including duodenal ulcer disease, gastric ulcers, achalasia, obesity, pancreatic insufficiency,

42

Dumping Syndrome

bulimia, portal hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dumping syndrome in children, severe head trauma, thyroid disease, and Zollinger-Ellison syndrome. Treatment of symptomatic rapid gastric emptying remains less than satisfactory. Diet is important. Small, frequent meals without accompanying liquids, and decreased simple carbohydrate ingestion are the basics of therapy directed at diminishing dumping symptoms. Patients with dumping syndrome frequently find that lying down after eating helps with reducing their symptomatology, possibly by reducing gravitational forces that may facilitate gastric emptying. Other treatment options include the use of high-viscosity meals, pectin, alteration of gastrointestinal peptides, medications, and surgery. 46 references. (AA-M). •

PRICE: Contact directly for current price. ISBN: 815114923. ISSN: 00653411. Summary: This chapter, from a textbook on surgery, describes the relevant physiology and pathophysiology of gastric emptying. In addition, the authors discuss the diagnosis and management of gastric emptying disorders. Gastric emptying, the final common pathway for gastric secretory and motor events, is the net result of coordinated contraction and relaxation of the stomach, pylorus, and duodenum. Functional changes in the gastroduodenal musculature may result from primary neuromuscular disorders or systemic metabolic diseases, while surgical denervation, bypass, and resection results in structural and mechanical changes in the gastroduodenum. Gastric emptying disorders covered include dumping syndrome and delayed gastric emptying. Dumping symptoms may occur in up to 50 percent of postgastrectomy patients, but most patients are treated satisfactorily by dietary manipulation or, in the rare incapacitated patient, by the long-acting somatostatin analogue octreotide. Reconstructive gastric surgery may rarely be indicated to slow gastric emptying and alleviate the dumping syndrome. Pharmacologic therapy of delayed gastric emptying has seen the introduction of several new and promising prokinetic agents, including bethanechol, metoclopramide, cisapride, domperidone, motilin, and erythromycin. In addition, surgical intervention for mechanical causes of gastric outlet obstruction is readily justified. 4 figures. 1 table. 106 references. (AA-M).

Summary: This section on gastrointestinal disorders is from a reference book on clinical dietetics and is part of a chapter on the use of nutrition management for specific medical conditions. Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders often result in maldigestion and malabsorption of nutrients and present as diarrhea. Diarrhea can have severe nutritional consequences through loss of essential nutrients such as water, minerals, vitamins, electrolytes, and micronutrients. Severe diarrhea can disrupt nutrient absorption to such an extent that malnutrition can occur. GI disorders can be both the cause and result of life threatening conditions. Disruption of the normal processes of nutrient digestion and absorption causes malnutrition, which may lead to serious clinical complications. After a brief review of the anatomy of the GI tract, the author discusses digestion, absorption, secretion, motility, adaptation, the immunologic barrier of the GI tract (the mucosa), nutritional implications in the assessment of the GI tract, factors that may affect the ability to deliver appropriate nutritional support, and specific disorders. These include swallowing difficulties (dysphagia); reflux esophagitis or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD); achalasia (motility disorder of the esophagus); esophageal perforation, obstruction, and varices; peptic ulcer disease; gastritis; vomiting; hiatal hernia; gastric outlet obstruction; GI bleeding; dumping syndrome; bezoar formation; absorption disorders; obstruction of the small intestine; lactase deficiency; inflammatory bowel disease; and short bowel syndrome. 7 tables. 10 references.

Coffee Break: Tutorials for Biologists15 Coffee Break is a general healthcare site that takes a scientific view of the news and covers recent breakthroughs in biology that may one day assist physicians in developing treatments. Here you will find a collection of short reports on recent biological discoveries. Each report incorporates interactive tutorials that demonstrate how bioinformatics tools are used as a part of the research process. Currently, all Coffee Breaks are written by NCBI staff.16 Each report is about 400 words and is usually based on a discovery reported in one or more articles from recently published, peer-reviewed literature.17 This site has new articles every few weeks, so it can be considered an online magazine of sorts. It is intended for general background information. You can access the Coffee Break Web site at the following hyperlink: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Coffeebreak/.

Other Commercial Databases In addition to resources maintained by official agencies, other databases exist that are commercial ventures addressing medical professionals. Here are some examples that may interest you: •

CliniWeb International: Index and table of contents to selected clinical information on the Internet; see http://www.ohsu.edu/cliniweb/.

•

Medical World Search: Searches full text from thousands of selected medical sites on the Internet; see http://www.mwsearch.com/.

15 Adapted 16

from http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Coffeebreak/Archive/FAQ.html.

The figure that accompanies each article is frequently supplied by an expert external to NCBI, in which case the source of the figure is cited. The result is an interactive tutorial that tells a biological story. 17 After a brief introduction that sets the work described into a broader context, the report focuses on how a molecular understanding can provide explanations of observed biology and lead to therapies for diseases. Each vignette is accompanied by a figure and hypertext links that lead to a series of pages that interactively show how NCBI tools and resources are used in the research process.

APPENDIX B. PATIENT RESOURCES Overview Official agencies, as well as federally funded institutions supported by national grants, frequently publish a variety of guidelines written with the patient in mind. These are typically called “Fact Sheets” or “Guidelines.” They can take the form of a brochure, information kit, pamphlet, or flyer. Often they are only a few pages in length. Since new guidelines on dumping syndrome can appear at any moment and be published by a number of sources, the best approach to finding guidelines is to systematically scan the Internetbased services that post them.

Patient Guideline Sources The remainder of this chapter directs you to sources which either publish or can help you find additional guidelines on topics related to dumping syndrome. Due to space limitations, these sources are listed in a concise manner. Do not hesitate to consult the following sources by either using the Internet hyperlink provided, or, in cases where the contact information is provided, contacting the publisher or author directly. The National Institutes of Health The NIH gateway to patients is located at http://health.nih.gov/. From this site, you can search across various sources and institutes, a number of which are summarized below. Topic Pages: MEDLINEplus The National Library of Medicine has created a vast and patient-oriented healthcare information portal called MEDLINEplus. Within this Internet-based system are “health topic pages” which list links to available materials relevant to dumping syndrome. To access this system, log on to http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/healthtopics.html. From there you can either search using the alphabetical index or browse by broad topic areas. Recently, MEDLINEplus listed the following when searched for “dumping syndrome”:

Digestive Diseases http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/digestivediseases.html Fibromyalgia http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/fibromyalgia.html Irritable Bowel Syndrome http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/irritablebowelsyndrome.html Kidney Diseases http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/kidneydiseases.html Rheumatoid Arthritis http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/rheumatoidarthritis.html You may also choose to use the search utility provided by MEDLINEplus at the following Web address: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/. Simply type a keyword into the search box and click “Search.” This utility is similar to the NIH search utility, with the exception that it only includes materials that are linked within the MEDLINEplus system (mostly patient-oriented information). It also has the disadvantage of generating unstructured results. We recommend, therefore, that you use this method only if you have a very targeted search. The Combined Health Information Database (CHID) CHID Online is a reference tool that maintains a database directory of thousands of journal articles and patient education guidelines on dumping syndrome. CHID offers summaries that describe the guidelines available, including contact information and pricing. CHID’s general Web site is http://chid.nih.gov/. To search this database, go to http://chid.nih.gov/detail/detail.html. In particular, you can use the advanced search options to look up pamphlets, reports, brochures, and information kits. The following was recently posted in this archive: •

Dumping Syndrome Source: in Kerestes-Smith, J.; Chua, G.; Sullivan, K. Guidelines for Nutritional Care. Ann Arbor, MI: Food and Nutrition Services, University of Michigan Medical Center. 1995.

PRICE: $0.80 plus shipping and handling (for health care professionals only). Order Number MC 833. Summary: This patient education brochure offers dietary suggestions for managing post-gastrectomy dumping syndrome. Symptoms of this syndrome may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal fullness, and gas. Topics include the importance of eating well-balanced, regularly scheduled meals; the role of sugars, protein-rich foods, dairy products, and fat-containing foods; fluid intake; and monitoring weight gain or loss. A sample menu for a suggested daily intake is provided. The brochure concludes with blank spaces for the listing of health care providers and phone numbers. The NIH Search Utility The NIH search utility allows you to search for documents on over 100 selected Web sites that comprise the NIH-WEB-SPACE. Each of these servers is “crawled” and indexed on an ongoing basis. Your search will produce a list of various documents, all of which will relate in some way to dumping syndrome. The drawbacks of this approach are that the information is not organized by theme and that the references are often a mix of information for professionals and patients. Nevertheless, a large number of the listed Web sites provide useful background information. We can only recommend this route, therefore, for relatively rare or specific disorders, or when using highly targeted searches. To use the NIH search utility, visit the following Web page: http://search.nih.gov/index.html. Additional Web Sources A number of Web sites are available to the public that often link to government sites. These can also point you in the direction of essential information.

APPENDIX C. FINDING MEDICAL LIBRARIES Overview In this Appendix, we show you how to quickly find a medical library in your area.

Preparation Your local public library and medical libraries have interlibrary loan programs with the National Library of Medicine (NLM), one of the largest medical collections in the world. According to the NLM, most of the literature in the general and historical collections of the National Library of Medicine is available on interlibrary loan to any library. If you would like to access NLM medical literature, then visit a library in your area that can request the publications for you.18

Finding a Local Medical Library The quickest method to locate medical libraries is to use the Internet-based directory published by the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM). This network includes 4626 members and affiliates that provide many services to librarians, health professionals, and the public. To find a library in your area, simply visit http://nnlm.gov/members/adv.html or call 1-800-338-7657.

Medical Libraries in the U.S. and Canada In addition to the NN/LM, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) lists a number of libraries with reference facilities that are open to the public. The following is the NLM’s list and includes hyperlinks to each library’s Web site. These Web pages can provide information on hours of operation and other restrictions. The list below is a small sample of

Complement activation occurs by two different sequences, the classic and alternative pathways. The proteins of the classic pathway are termed 'components of complement' and are designated by the symbols C1 through C9. C1 is a calcium-dependent complex of three distinct proteins C1q, C1r and C1s.

lower-case letter suffixes, e.g., C3a. Inactivated fragments may be designated with the suffix 'i', e.g. C3bi. Activated components or complexes with biological activity are designated by a bar over the symbol e.g. C1 or C4b,2a. The classic pathway is activated by the binding of C1 to classic pathway activators, primarily antigen-antibody complexes containing IgM, IgG1, IgG3; C1q binds to a single IgM molecule or two adjacent IgG molecules. The alternative pathway can be activated by IgA immune complexes and also by nonimmunologic materials including bacterial endotoxins, microbial polysaccharides, and cell walls. Activation of the classic pathway triggers an enzymatic cascade involving C1, C4, C2 and C3; activation of the alternative pathway triggers a cascade involving C3 and factors B, D and P. Both result in the cleavage of C5 and the formation of the membrane attack complex. Complement activation also results in the formation of many biologically active complement fragments that act as anaphylatoxins, opsonins, or chemotactic factors.
