唾液蛋白与脾肾两虚、气血不足的关系

实验表明,脾肾两虚、气血不足患者唾液蛋白明显下降,与正常人相比差异明显(P<0.01);脾肾两虚患者唾液蛋白与血浆白蛋白及总蛋白量成正相关性,气血不足患者唾液蛋白与血色素、红细胞量亦成正相关性。

目的：建立一种有效从包涵体中纯化重组人幽门螺杆菌热休克蛋白A亚单位HspA的方法。方法：重组基因工程大肠杆菌发酵后，表达的Hp r HspA包涵体经洗涤，变性，复性，采用Q Sepharose High Performance阴离子交换层析和Superdex75凝胶过滤层析分离纯化，使用SDS－PAGE和HPLC检测纯度，选用ELISA和动物实验对纯化蛋白的免疫学活性和生物学活性进行鉴定。结果：Hp的HspA包涵经洗涤和溶解后，Hp的HspA的纯度＞60％，包涵体溶解液经阴离子交换层析和凝胶过滤层析后纯度超过95％，Hp的HspA纯品经检测具有良好的免疫学活性和生物学活性。结论：本研究建立的分离纯化方法可从包涵体中获得高纯度的重组HspA蛋白，为进一步的动物实验研究奠定了基础。     

Comparison of gas-liquid chromatography and EMIT assay for serum valproic acid

We describe a simple direct extraction method for the gas-liquid chromatography determination of serum valproic acid. The working range for the assay is 2-180 mg/L and our within-run precision was 5.8 and 4.3% at the 40 and 90 mg/L concentrations respectively. Hemolyzed and lipemic sera as well as samples from patients with hyperbilirubinemia and from patients with decreased renal function were put through the assay and no interfering peaks were noted. Interference occurred when teflon-lined screw caps were used during the extraction step. The method was proven to be accurate by linear regression analysis of samples containing weighed-in amounts of valproic acid. The above assay was compared to an enzyme immunoassay technique (EMIT). The working range for the latter is 10-150 mg/L and the with-run precision was 10.8 and 5.9% and 90 mg/L concentration respectively. Samples were run by both the gas-liquid chromatograph and enzyme immunoassay methods and gave very similar results over the range 16-139 mg/L.

Ubiquitin and heat shock protein expression in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

The expression of two heat shock proteins, HSP72 and p57, in addition to ubiquitin, has been studied immunocytochemically in nine amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) cases and 10 age-matched controls. HSP72 and p57 antibodies did not identify the characteristic ubiquitin-immunoreactive inclusions present in anterior horn cells in ALS spinal cord. Antibodies to HSP72, but not to p57 or ubiquitin, strongly labelled structures corresponding to polyglucosan bodies in spinal grey matter. Such immunoreactive profiles were more abundant in ALS cases, although they were also present in control material. They were sometimes identified by haematoxylin and eosin and periodic acid Schiff reaction, but were not labeled by phosphotungstic acid haematoxylin or by antibodies to glial fibrillary acidic protein. Although ubiquitin, HSP72 and p57 are stress-induced proteins, they are expressed differently and might therefore have different significance in neuronal degeneration.     

肥胖患者血清C-反应蛋白水平变化与代谢综合征的关系

目的　比较肥胖患者急性期标志 -血清C 反应蛋白 (CRP)水平的变化并探讨与代谢综合征的关系。方法　选择 15 3例肥胖患者和 4 7例正常体重者 ,测定血清CRP水平 ,同时检测体重指数 (BMI)、腰围 (W )、腰臀比 (WHR)、血压、糖脂代谢参数、空腹胰岛素 (FIN)、胰岛素原 (PI)、胰岛素原 /胰岛素比值 (P/I) ,并对导致血清CRP改变的因素进行相关分析研究。结果　 ( 1)肥胖组血清CRP高于体重正常组 (P <0 .0 0 1) ,单纯肥胖组与肥胖伴糖代谢异常组之间无明显差异 (P =0 .4 13 ) ;( 2 )肥胖组相关分析显示血清CRP与W、WHR、SBP、TG、PI、HOMA IR、P/I呈正相关 ;( 3 )矫正年龄和BMI后 ,血清CRP与SBP、WHR和RI仍存在相关性 ,与其他变量的相关性消失。结论　 1、肥胖患者血清CRP水平明显高于非肥胖者 ,与SBP、TG、HOMA IR呈正相关 ,提示肥胖患者血清CRP水平升高与代谢综合征、胰岛素抵抗有密切关系 ;( 2 )血清CRP水平与P/I也呈正相关 ,提示血清CRP升高与 β 细胞功能缺陷可能也有一定关系 ;( 3 )BMI、WHR、SBP和PI是血清CRP升高的主要相关因素
