Attachment loss and serum antibody levels against autologous and reference strains of Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans in untreated localized juvenile periodontitis patients

Abstract Immunological data have been suggested to be a potential tool in the diagnosis, classification and monitoring of periodontal diseases. However, the role of circulating antibodies in periodontal patients is poorly understood. Patients suffering from localized juvenile periodontitis (LJP) are often reported to show high titers of serum IgG antibodies against Aetinobaeillus actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcotnitans), but several affected patients do not. Most studies use well-known reference strains of the bacterium for testing against the patients' sera. The aim of the present investigation was to study the relationship between serum IgG antibody levels to autologous A. actinomycetemcomitans strains and clinical attachment loss (CAL). In addition, we wanted to assess the patients’serum titers against 4 well-known reference strains of the bacterium as well as their general potential immunoglobulin response. Intravenous blood samples were taken from 23 LJP patients and 10 healthy individuals, and autologous A. actinomycetemcomitans strains were cultured from 18 of the L.JP patients. CAL was measured at 4 different sites around ail present teeth and assessed as a % of teeth with at least 1 site moderately ≥2<5 mm) or severely (≥5 mm) involved. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was performed to evaluate the serum titers of IgG antibodies to A. actinomycetemcomitans antigens. No significant correlation was found between serum IgG antibody titers to autologous strains and CAL. However, there was a trend that low responders had more moderately affected teeth than had high responders and patients with undetectable A. actinomycetemcomitans levels, which is in agreement with a hypothetically protective role of the antibodies. The total counts of immunoglobulin assessed in all participants showed that the predominant class was IgG and the reference group displayed significantly less (p<0.05) IgG and IgG1 counts than the LJP patients. Both the reaction pattern against reference and autologous strains varied widely. We conclude that the specific antibody response against A. actinomycetemcomitans shows a weak correlation to clinical attachment levels in LJP patients.     

β-N-Acetylhexosaminadases in human cerebrospinal fluid and serum of patients with multiple sclerosis

β-N-Acetylhexosaminidase activity and isoenzyme have been investigated in normal human cerebrospinal fluid and that of patients with multiple sclerosis. β-N-acetylhexosaminidase activity in normal cerebrospinal fluids has been resolved into five components. The major component was in a form that eluted from DEAE cellulose at the same salt concentration as hexosaminidase As, the isoenzyme previously identified in human serum. Cerebrospinal fluid from patients exhibited a different isoenzyme profile, showing a remarkable increase in a form having a pI which was more acidic than that of As. These changes have a potential use in the diagnosis and further biochemical characterization of multiple sclerosis.     

Serum digoxin and beta-methyldigoxin in elderly patients on hospital admission: correlation with home compliance and clinical variables

Summary Serum digoxin and beta-methyldigoxin (BMD) were measured in 165 elderly patients (age >60 years) admitted to hospital, of whom 109 had been treated at home with digoxin and 56 with BMD.The mean BMD level was significantly lower than that of digoxin (1.1 vs. 1.4 ng/ml). Creatinine clearance and daily dose were the variables most strongly associated with digoxin level, and the prescribed dose and serum albumin were the best predictors of the BMD concentration. Compliance was assessed by a compliance index (CI), namely the ratio of the measured glycoside concentration, corrected for creatinine clearance, over the expected steady-state dose, calculated from a hospitalized reference group. Compliant individuals in both treatment groups, i.e. those with a CI > the median value, were characterized by a lower daily dose and dosage frequency.Toxicity, whether clinical or electrocardiographic, was present in 9% of the patients and was associated only with a significantly higher mean serum level of the drug.     

The Effects of Serum from Patients with Acute Liver Failure on the Growth and Metabolism of Hep G2 Cells

In many bioartificial liver systems currently being designed and evaluated for use in fulminant hepatic failure, direct contact is required between the patient's blood and the liver cells in the device. The efficacy of such devices will be influenced by the interaction of fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) patient serum with the cells. We have found that FHF serum inhibits the growth rate and the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein; disturbs glutathione homeostasis; and induces morphological changes in cultured human Hep G2 cells. These interactions should influence the design of bioartificial liver devices based on proliferating cell lines and indicate the requirement to pretreat FHF patient plasma to reduce the toxin load.     

Synthesis of the antigen bovine serum albumin‐ergosterol and its immunocharacterization

Fungal contamination of agricultural commodities leads to their spoilage and renders them unfit for human consumption. Ergosterol, a predominant sterol in most fungi and a major constituent of the cell membrane, has been established as a reliable biochemical marker for fungal growth. Various chemical and physico‐chemical methods to quantify ergosterol as an index of fungal contamination are in practice. Yet, immunoassays are the methods of choice in food analysis due to their increased specificity, sensitivity and rapidity. This paper reports the synthesis of an antigen, bovine serum albumin‐ergosterol conjugate, and its immunocharacterization. Ergosterol was converted to ergosterol hemisuccinate (EHS) by succinylation. Subsequently, EHS was conjugated to bovine serum albumin by the mixed anhydride reaction. The molar ratio was found to be 1:28. Antisera raised against the synthesized antigen in rabbits was characterized by the Ouchterlony double‐diffusion technique and an antibody capture assay. Ouchterlony analysis showed a titre of 1:2. Further, characterization by an antibody capture assay, using 50 ng well (10 ng equivalent of ergosterol) of the antigen, gave a titre of 1:4000 dilution of antiserum, with an absorbance of 1.0 at 405 nm. The synthesized antigen may find an application in the development of an immunoanalytical method for ergosterol quantification as a measure of food quality in relation to fungal contamination.
