Effect of chronic alcohol consumption on plasma lipid, vitamins A, and E in Korean alcoholics

This human study was conducted to evaluate the effect of chronic alcohol consumption on plasma concentrations of lipid and the antioxidative system in 44 Korean alcoholics and 45 age-, sex-, and nationality-matched nonalcoholic subjects. Plasma triacylglycerols and atherogenic index were higher in alcoholics than in control subjects. Plasma total cholesterol was not different among groups, but plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol was lower in alcoholics. There were positive correlations between ethanol consumption and plasma lipid peroxide and atherogenic index in all subjects; there were negative correlations between ethanol consumption and plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in all subjects. There were no significant differences between alcoholics and control subjects in plasma concentrations of α-tocopherol, although plasma α-tocopherol/lipid tended to be lower in alcoholics. Plasma retinol was lower in alcoholics. These results suggest that chronic ethanol consumption can contribute to increased risk for vascular diseases in Korean alcoholics.     

α‐crystallin: a review of its structure and function

α‐crystallin, the major protein of the mammalian lens in most species, is an aggregate assembled from two polypeptides, each with a molecular weight around 20,000 Da. It is polydisperse and can be isolated in a variety of forms, including spherical particles with molecular weights ranging upwards from about 200 kDa. Sequence comparisons reveal that it is a member of the small heat shock protein (shsp) family. These proteins are aggregates assembled from polypeptides of 10 to 25 kDa that share a common central domain of about 90 residues (the ‘α‐crystallin domain’) with variable N‐ and Gterminal extensions. α‐crystallin has been intensively studied for more than 50 years but its three‐dimensional structure remains unknown because it has not been possible to obtain crystals for X‐ray studies and it is too large for NMR measurements. Structural information has been derived from a variety of solution studies. Because of the protein's polydispersity, interpretation of data has been difficult. This led to different viewpoints and vigorous debate on its structure and properties. Recently, the crystal structures of two closely‐related small heat shock proteins have been determined. These have provided some insight into the structure of α‐crystallin and explanations of previous observations. Like many other heat shock proteins, α‐crystallin exhibits chaperone‐like properties, including the ability to prevent the precipitation of denatured proteins and to increase cellular tolerance to stress. It has been suggested that these functions are important for the maintenance of lens transparency and the prevention of cataract.     

Cell-cell adhesion molecules and signaling intermediates and their role in the invasive potential of prostate cancer cells

PURPOSE: The highly variable natural history of prostate carcinoma may be reflected in heterogeneity of invasive potential between tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We have examined two prostate cancer cell lines of low invasive potential (CAHPV10 and PZHPV7) and three cell lines of high invasive potential (DU-145, PC-3, LNCapFGC), to determine whether specific adhesion molecule profiles correlated with their invasive behavior. RESULTS: Using an in vitro invasion assay, we demonstrated that DU-145, LNCapFGC and PC-3 cells were highly invasive compared with CA-HPV-10 and PZ-HPV-7 cells. LNCapFGC cells expressed high levels of E-cadherin, alpha-, beta- and gamma-catenin, desmoglein, desmoplakin and GSK3beta using immunoblotting. This was, in general, comparable to immunohistochemical staining. PC-3 cells had no E-cadherin or alpha-catenin, but expressed a high level of the HGF/SF receptor c-Met. In contrast, DU-145 cells were found to express E-cadherin and low levels for all other protein molecules, except c-Met. The DU-145 cell line also lacked alpha-catenin expression. In CA-HPV-10 and PZ-HPV-7 cells, there was no detection of APC, PECAM-1, P-cadherin or Wnt-1. DU-145, LNCapFGC and PC-3 cells formed cell-cell aggregates, which were reduced by inclusion of anti-E-cadherin antibody and the motogen HGF/SF. CONCLUSION: These results show that prostate cancer cells exhibit a diverse expression of cell-cell adhesion molecules and their signaling intermediates. The expression of these adhesion molecules bears an important relationship with the invasive phenotype of these cells.

Histopathologic parameters of prognosis in cervical cancer – a review

Apart from clinical stage and lymph node status, acknowledged to be among the most powerful predictors of outcome in cervical cancer, the determination of prognosis and thereby the need for adjuvant therapy in surgically treated patients currently relies on a variety of histopathologic factors. The role of many of these is controversial. This may be because histopathology is genuinely lacking in sensitivity for predicting tumor behavior in vivo. There is, however, wide variation in histopathologic definitions and criteria. This is probably the major reason for both the lack of reproducibility in the reporting of certain factors and in their diminished value in predicting behavior. Tumor type, grade, vascular invasion, pattern of invasion, and depth are all extremely important prognostic indicators when used individually or as a part of a scoring system.     

高单不饱和脂肪酸型肠内营养剂用于2型糖尿病

目的探讨含高单不饱和脂肪酸的特殊类型肠内营养制剂(Glucerna)对2型糖尿病患者血糖、血脂等方面的影响。方法将60例行肠内营养支持的2型糖尿病患者随机分为对照组和研究组,采用间歇喂饲法,分别经鼻胃管重力滴注两种不同的肠内营养制剂(Nutrison和Glucerna),并于营养支持前、支持后第7、14天测定两组患者的空腹血糖(FBG)、餐后2小时血糖(2hBG)、糖化血红蛋白(GHb)、血清甘油三酯(TG)、胆固醇(TC)和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇(LDL-C)等指标。结果研究结束时,对照组FBG(7.57±2.12)mmol/L和2hBG(10.48±2.36)mmol/L比研究前略有升高,但差异不显著(P>0.05),GHb(7.47±1.22)%无明显改变(P>0.05)。研究组FBG和2hBG在营养支持后第7天已出现下降,到研究结束时分别降至(6.41±1.98)mmol/L和(9.20±2.38)mmol/L,明显低于研究前和对照组(P<0.05);GHb(7.05±0.78)%与研究前和对照组相比虽有所下降,但差异不显著(P>0.05)。整个研究期内两组患者血脂水平无明显变化(P>0.05)。结论高单不饱和脂肪酸型肠内营养制剂能够降低2型糖尿病患者的血糖水平,尤其是餐后血糖水平,在临床上比标准配方更适合糖尿病患者。
