The role of oxidant damage to red cells in sickle cell anaemia has been of interest in recent years. Although, available reports
suggest that sickle cell erythrocytes are susceptible to endogenous free radical mediated oxidant damage there remains discrepancy
in the status of antioxidant enzymes and antioxidant vitamins in these patients. In view of this, 107 cases of sickle cell
anaemia (36 ‘SS’ and 71 ‘AS’ pattern—as confirmed by haemoglobin electrophoresis) were subjected to analysis of malondialdehyde,
ascorbic acid, superoxide dismutase and albumin. The results were compared with 54 age and sex matched healthy controls. The
results indicate a marked increase in lipid peroxidation and superoxide dismutase levels in both ‘SS’ and ‘AS’ types of sickle
cell anaemia as compared to controls. Although no difference was observed in the levels of albumin in these groups the levels
of ascorbic acid were significantly depleted in sickle cell anaemia patients. The results are indicative of enhanced lipid
peroxidation along with imbalance in the pro-oxidant and antioxidant status in patients of sickle cell anaemia. 相似文献

This study is conducted in chronic alcoholics to assess the association of an Individual’s level of serum homocysteine with
the success of achieving alcohol deaddiction in the patient. The patients’ nutrition status is also assessed. 50 chronic alcoholics
admitted to a deaddiction center were inducted into the study. Patients underwent an 8 weeks holistic program to promote rehabilitation
from alcoholism. All the patients were addicted to alcohol for 8 – 10 years. Of the 50 patients enrolled, 39 of them completed
the 8 weeks program including complete abstinence from alcohol during this period. Fasting blood samples were collected on
admission and again after 8 weeks of alcohol abstinence for analyses of serum homocysteine and serum prealbumin, transferrin,
total proteins and albumin, gammaglutamyl transferase (GGT) and alanine transaminase (ALT). Of the 50 patients enrolled in
the study, 39 completed the 8 weeks rehabilitation program. 11 patients discontinued within 2 weeks of admission. During the
8 weeks of complete alcohol abstinence, patients were given a balanced diet and multivitamin supplements. A significant improvement
in their nutritional status was noted by the elevation of serum levels of prealbumin, transferrin, total proteins and albumin.
Serum homocysteine levels decreased significantly (p<0.002) to normal levels from previous hyperhomocytenemia. This was accompanied
by decrease in serum GGT and ALT levels indicating improved liver functions. Serum estimation of homocysteine in chronic alcoholics
is important to assess whether the patient will have a successful rehabilitation. Normal homocysteine levels are achieved
after dietary changes and abstinence from alcohol. Timely correction of hyperhomocysteinemia also provides successful rehabilitation. 相似文献

The thyroid hormone profile of a hypothyroid patient, with moderate sized diffuse goiter and history of exogenous thyroid
hormone therapy, was found to be highly ambiguous. The total as well as free T4 levels were consistently high (out of range)
with suppressed T3 (total and free) and elevated thyrotropin levels. We incubated the serum with the radio-iodine labelled
T4 and observed that the patient’s serum bound about 50.5% of the total radioactivity resulting in 85.3% interference in the
radioimmunoassay. On resolving the serum proteins by cellulose acetate electrophoresis, the radioactivity was detected in
the gamma globulin band. The protein profile showed mildly raised levels of IgG. Therefore it was established that the patient’s
serum carried T4 reactive antibodies (IgG) which were interfering in the immunoassays. Elevated anti-thyroid microsomal antibodies
were also present in the patient’s serum. The anti-T4 antibodies were highly specific for T4 and did not show any cross reactivity
with the T3 or its analogues used in the estimation of free T3. We stripped the serum by precipitating the immunoglobulins
and were successful in estimating the levels of free T4 in the stripped serum by single step radioimmunoassy. 相似文献

It has been proposed that oxidative stress plays an important role in male infertility. The aims of this study were to compare
seminal plasma levels of 15-F2t-isoprostane (8-iso-PGF2α), malondialdehyde (MDA), and total (sum of free and bound) homocysteine
(tHcy) from normozoospermic vs. asthenozoospermic men, and to examine the relationships between tHcy and lipid peroxidation
products. The study was a case-control study with a simple random sampling. The case group was consisted of 15 asthenozoospermic
males. This group was compared with 15 normozoospermic men. Seminal plasma levels of 15-F2α-isoprostane and tHcy were measured
using commercially available enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kits. MDA levels were determined by the thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay.
The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare two groups. Coefficients of correlation were calculated using Spearman’s correlation
analysis. All hypothesis tests were two-tailed with statistical significance assessed at the p value <0.05 level. MDA levels
were higher in asthenozoospermic subjects than in control subjects (0.72±0.06 μM vs. 0.40±0.06 μM; p<0.05). No differences
were seen in 15-F2α-isoprostane levels in asthenozoospermic subjects and controls (65.00±3.20 pg/ml vs. 58.17±4.12 pg/ml;
p>0.05). Interestingly, tHcy levels were to be slightly higher in asthenozoospermic subjects than in controls (6.18±1.17 μM
vs. 4.8±0.52 μM). Sperm motility was inversely correlated with seminal plasma 15-F2α-isoprostane and MDA levels, respectively
(p<0.05). In summary, seminal plasma levels of 15-F2α-isoprostane and tHcy showed no significant difference between normozoospermic
and asthenozoospermic men. Sperm motility was not correlated with seminal plasma levels of tHcy. No relationship was found
between tHcy and lipid peroxidation. 相似文献

This study deals with the effects of freeze dried rhizome powder of Curcuma longa (C. longa) dissolved in milk on normal as
well as diabetic models. Diabetes of type II and type I was within 3 days of a single administration of doses of 45 and 65
mg kg−1 of streptozotocin respectively. Various parameters such as blood glucose levels, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high density
lipoprotein, very low density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein, serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, serum glutamic
pyruvate transaminase, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine, hemoglobin, urine protein and urine sugar in addition to body weight
were taken in to consideration and were analyzed after administration of variable doses of rhizome powder. The dose of 200
mg kg−1 was identified as the most effective dose as it increased HDL, Hb and bw (P<0.05) with significant decrease in the levels
of blood glucose, lipid profile and hepatoprotective enzymes (P<0.001). 相似文献

Determination of ammonia level in blood is important, especially in the diagnosis of hepatic disorders. An indigenously purified
enzyme was used in the standardisation of the assay. The assay is a two reagent system, requires five minutes for completion
and can be performed at temperature between 25–27°C. Performance of the assay was assessed by linearity, imprecision, functional
sensitivity and interference studies. Lyophilised reagent I and reagent II were found stable for at least one year. The plasma
level of ammonia for the controls was 13.7±7.3 μMol/L, whereas for subjects of hepatic disorders, it was 69.1±32.4 μMol/L
(P<0.001). The functional sensitivity was between 2–1000 μMol/L. Within-run coefficient of variation was between 1.1–2.0%
and between-run coefficient of variation was between 1.9–3.7%. The mean recovery after dilution was 99.6%. The present method
can estimate ammonia up to 1000 μMol/L without dilution of sample. Assay time of five minute may be shortened to one minute.
This method is suited for routine clinical use in treatment of hepatic disorders. 相似文献

Effects of treatmentin vivo with the antimalarials:chloroquine (CQ), primaquine (PQ) and quinine(Q) on lysosomal enzymes and lysosomal membrane integrity
were examined. Treatment with the three antimalarials showed an apparent increase in the membrane stability. CQ treatment
resulted in increase in both the ‘free’ and ‘total’ activities of all the enzymes i.e. acid phosphatase, RNase II, DNase II
and cathepsin D. PQ treatment lowered the ‘free’ and ‘total’ activities of acid phosphatase and cathepsin D, but the DNase
II activities increased. Treatment with Q resulted in increased ‘free’ and ‘total’ activities of RNase II and DNase II. While
‘free’ activities of acid phosphatase and cathepsin D were low; the ‘total’ activities increased significantly. Our results
suggest that a generalized increase in free nucleases activities following prolonged treatment with antimalarials may lead
to cell damage and/or necrosis. 相似文献

The calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) [cyclosporin A (CsA) and tacrolimus (Tac)] are currently the most widely prescribed drugs for maintenance of immunosuppression after renal transplantation. These immunosuppressants are associated with side effects such as hyperlipidemia. We evaluated the differential effects of different CNIs on serum lipid parameters in renal transplant patients. Moreover, the aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between doses and blood levels of CNIs, and blood levels of CNIs and lipid parameters retrospectively. Two groups of 98 non-diabetic renal transplant patients, each treated with different CNIs, were studied: group A (n = 50, mean age: 31 ± 10 years), CsA, mycophenolate mofetil/azathioprin, steroid; group B (I = 48, mean age: 34 ± 12 years), Tac, mycophenolate mofetil/azathioprin, steroid. In renal transplant patients, CNIs blood levels and doses were examined at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after transplantation. Biochemical laboratory parameters including plasma lipids [total-cholesterol (CHOL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL)–CHOL, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)–CHOL, and triglycerides (TG)], CNI levels and doses were examined at 1, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months after transplantation. None of the patients received anti-lipidemic drugs during the study period. Blood levels of CNIs were detectable in all whole-blood samples by Cloned- Enzyme-Donor Immunoassay (CEDIA). The relationship between CNIs blood levels and CHOL, (LDL)–CHOL, HDL–CHOL, TG were evaluated. The mean serum CHOL levels and LDL–CHOL levels of patients in group A were found significantly higher than the patients in group B during the 12 month of follow up (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in TG and HDL–CHOL plasma levels between group A and group B (p > 0.005). In group A the daily dose of CsA was significantly correlated with the mean blood levels of CsA at the 1st and 3rd months (r = 0.387, p = 0.005; r = 0.386, p = 0.006), respectively. In group A, the daily dose of CsA was significantly correlated with the mean serum TG levels during the 12 month of follow up (r = 0.420, p = 0.003). In group B, the daily dose of Tac was significantly correlated with the mean blood level of Tac (r = 0.335, p = 0.020) at the 1st month. No correlation was found between mean Tac blood levels and lipid parameters during the 12-month of follow up (p > 0.05). Significant positive correlation was observed between the CsA blood levels and LDL–CHOL levels (r = 0.338, p = 0.027) at the 3rd month. In the renal transplant patients with well functioning grafts, CsA therapy is associated with increased CHOL and LDL–CHOL ratio which represents an increased atherogenic risk tended to be associated with CsA. Serum LDL–CHOL levels may be effected by blood CsA levels. 相似文献

Immunoreactivity properties of serum dilutions andPlasmodium falciparum malaria antigens were measured and compared by ELISA technique using different ELISA plates to evaluate the role of antigens
and serum dilutions for optimum binding. Also effort has been made to see the effect of reaction surface and material i.e.
ELISA plates for binding capacity. Serological properties were estimated by ELISA methods for detection of malaria and determination
of immunological characteristics. Three Pf antigens (PfAg) i.e. ring infected erythrocyte surface antigen: AR-1 (RESA), histidine-rich
protein 2 antigen (HRP-2) and glycophospholipid antigen (grown and developed Pf antigen from PSJ-M strain): GPL1 have been
used for serological testing of human blood samples by Enzyme Link Immunosorbant Assay (ELISA). 1∶100, 1∶1000 and 1∶10000
dilutions of Pf positive and negative serum (50 samples in each group) and 1∶1000 dilution of Pf antigens were used to measure
immunoreactive properties by ELISA method. Result of PfAg-serum immunoreactivity study showed that GPL1 has the highest degree
of immuno binding reactivity compared to other Pf antigens. HRP-2 and RESA antigens showed no significant difference to each
other. Study also found that Costar and Fastec ELISA plates have a better Ag−Ab binding capability compared to immulon and
Falcon plates at all dilutions of serum. Serum dilution of 1∶100 showed best binding and reactivity with Pf antigens followed
by 1∶1000 and 1∶10000 showed lowest reactivity. 相似文献

Oxidative stress contributes to the cascade, leading to dopamine cell degeneration in Parkinson’s disease. However, oxidative
stress is intimately linked to other components of the degenerative process, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, excitotoxicity,
nitric oxide toxicity and inflammation. It is therefore difficult to determine whether oxidative stress leads to or is a consequence
of, these events. Oxidative stress was assessed by estimating lipid peroxidation product in the form of thiobarbituric acid
reactive substances, nitric oxide in the form of nitrite & nitrate. Enzymatic antioxidants in the form of superoxide dismutase,
glutathione peroxidase, catalase, ceruloplasmin and non enzymatic antioxidant vitamins e.g. vitamin E and C in either serum
or plasma or erythrocyte in 40 patients of Parkinson’s disease in the age group 40–80 years. Trace elements e.g. copper, zinc
and selenium were also estimated. Plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and nitric oxide levels were Significantly
high but superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, ceruloplasmin, vitamin-E, vitamin-C, copper, zinc and selenium
levels were significantly low in Parkinson’s disease when compared with control subjects. Present study showed that elevated
oxidative stress may be playing a role in dopaminergic neuronal loss in substentia nigra pars compacta and involved in pathogenesis
of the Parkinson’s disease. 相似文献

Current recommendations of the Adult Treatment Panel and Adolescents Treatment Panel of National Cholesterol Education Program
make the low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in serum the basis of classification and management of hypercholesterolemia.
A number of direct homogenous assays based on surfactant/solubility principles have evolved in the recent past. This has made
LDL-C estimation less cumbersome than the earlier used methods. Here we compared one of the direct homogenous assays with
the widely used Friedewald’s method of estimation of LDL-C to see the differences and correlation. We used direct homogenous
assay kit to estimate serum LDL-C and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Serum Triglyceride (TG) and Total Cholesterol
(TC) was estimated and using Friedewald’s formula LDL-C was calculated. The LDL-C level obtained by both methods in 893 fasting
serum samples were compared. The statistical methods used were paired t-test and Pearson’s correlation.
There was significant difference in the mean LDL-C levels obtained by the two methods at the TG levels <200 mg/dl (p<0.02)
and TC levels >150 mg% (p<0.001). The correlation coefficient (r) between Friedewald’s and direct assay estimation was 0.88.
Friedewald’s method classified 23.5 % of patients as high cardiac risk whereas there were 17.58% by direct assay.
Both had good correlation even though the serum triglyceride and total cholesterol levels affect the difference in LDL-C estimated
by both methods. Taking into account the cost and performance, Friedewald’s method is as good or even better for classifying
and managing patients. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of UV-B irradiation on PI 3-kinase activity in human fetal hepatocytes. When cells were exposed
to monochromatic (304nm) UV-B light, a significant increase in intracellular PI 3-kinase activity was observed in a dose dependent
manner with maximal activity upon 1500 Jm−2 irradiation. At 1500 Jm−2 dose PI 3-kinse activity increased by 80% in membrane fraction of fetal hepatocytes of 25 weeks gestation. PI 3-kinse inhibitors
wortmannin and LY294002 specifically inhibited the UV-B induced lipid kinase activity and blocked significantly the UV-B induced
cell viability. The data suggests a correlation between cell survival and elevated levels of PI 3-kinase and suggest that
UV-B irradiation at a dose of 1500 Jm−2 is ideal for fetal hepatocyte transplantation. Also, PI 3-kinase levels could be a representative marker for viable UV-B
irradiated fetal hepatocytes for transplantation. 相似文献

Currently available method(s) for assaying pyrroline-5-carboxylate (P5C), an important intermediate metabolite of ornithine,
proline and glutamate metabolic pathways, are cumbersome or not sensitive enough for microanalysis. The present study involving
the synthesis of P5C followed by purity check, molecular mass (amu =113.1) determination by mass spectrometry and spectral
characterization of P5C-ninhydrin derivative (λ max: 510 nm) confirmed the authenticity of the preparation. Studies on the
effect of pH on spectral characteristics of P5C ninhydrin derivative demonstrated a significant change with respect to λ max
(620 nm) and several ∼ 12 fold increase in molar extinction coefficient (ε: 1.96 × 105) in alkaline conditions (pH:7.0–8.0) as compared to the reported Molar ε of 1.65 × 104 at max λ 510 nm in ethanolic solution. The modified method, with the improved sensitivity, is adopted for the assay of ornithine
amino transferase activity in WBC’s/platelets lysate(s) from human blood. 相似文献

The excessive generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by abnormal spermatozoa and contaminating leukocytes has been defined
as one of the few etiologies for male infertility. Administration of antioxidants in patients with ‘male factor’ infertility
has begun to attract considerable interest. The main difficulty of such an approach is our incomplete understanding of the
role of free radicals in normal and abnormal sperm function leading to male infertility. Mammalian spermatozoa membranes are
very sensitive to free radical induced damage mediated by lipid peroxidation, as they are rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Limited endogenous mechanisms exist to reverse these damages. ROS attacks the fluidity of the sperm plasma membrane and the
integrity of DNA in the sperm nucleus. ROS induced DNA damage accelerate the germ cell apoptosis. Unfortunately spermatozoa
are unable to repair the damage induced by excessive ROS as they lack the cytoplasmic enzymes required to accomplish the repair.
Assessment of such oxidative stress status (OSS) may help in the medical treatment. Treatment strategies must be directed
toward lowering of ROS levels to keep only a small amount necessary to maintain normal cell function. 相似文献

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia in the elderly and it’s prevalence is rapidly rising. Oxidative stress
plays important role in the pathophysiology of Alzheimer’s disease. Metals like copper, iron derived through diet can act
as pro-oxidant under oxidative stress. In the present study, serum copper levels were evaluated in 50 patients with Alzheimer’s
disease, 24 patients with Vascular Dementia and 30 controls. All the groups were also investigated for serum ceruloplsmin
levels. The mean copper levels in Alzheimer’s disease and Vascular Dementia were significantly raised compared to controls.
An attempt has been made to study the relationship of serum copper with ceruloplasmin. Our study found weak correlation between
copper and ceruloplasmin levels in Alzheimer’s disease and Vascular Dementia. 相似文献

Hypertension is the most important public health problem in developing countries and one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular
diseases, and it has been reported that hypertension is in part an inflammatory disorder and several workers have reported
elevated levels of CRP in hypertensive individuals. The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between
blood pressure and serum CRP levels across the range of blood pressure categories including prehypertension. A total of 104
patients and 63 control subjects were included in the present study. The level of CRP in the serum samples was estimated by
a high sensitivity immunoturbidometric assay. Standard unpaired student’s ‘t’ test was used for comparison of hs-CRP levels
between hypertensive patients and normotensive control subjects and between patient groups with different grades of hypertension
and different durations of hypertensive histories. The mean serum hs-CRP level in hypertensive patients was 3.26 mg/L compared
with 1.36 mg/L among normotensive control subjects (P<0.001). On comparison with normotensive control subjects, the hs-CRP
levels vary significantly both with grades and duration of hypertension, with most significant difference found in patients
with prehypertension (P<0.001), followed by Stage-I (P=0.01) and Stage-II(P=0.02) hypertensives. Significant difference in
hs-CRP levels was also found in patients with shorter duration of hypertensive history (≤ 1year) when compared with those
with ≥5 years of hypertensive history (P<0.01). Our study reveals a graded association between blood pressure and CRP elevation
in people with hypertension. Individuals with prehypertension or with shorter duration of hypertension (≤1 Year) had significantly
a greater likelihood of CRP elevation in comparison to chronic stage-I or stage-II hypertensives. 相似文献

Crystal aggregation and retention are critical events for the formation of kidney stones. There is a close association between
crystal development and free radical activity in vivo. In the present study 30 subjects presenting with urolithiasis were
included. Serum levels of total lipid peroxides, nitric oxide (as nitrite), α-tocopherol, plasma ascorbic acid (vitamin C)
and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity were measured. These findings were compared with 30 age matched control subjects
irrespective of sex. Student's ‘t’ test was applied for statistical analysis. There was a significant increase in lipid peroxides
(p<0.001), where as significant decrease in nitrite (p<0.01) and α-tocopherol (p<0.001) levels were observed. Plasma ascorbate
(p>0.05) and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity (p>0.05) was also found to be decreased but the difference was not
statistically significant which suggests that oxidative stress is evident in urolithiasis with depletion in antioxidant status
where as decrease in nitric oxide may be less abetting in disease condition. 相似文献

Serum ceruloplasmin is one of the most commonly used screening tests for Wilson’s disease. However immunological assays for
ceruloplasmin are not recommended for diagnosis and management of Wilson’s disease through calculation of free copper index.
Enzymatic methods using non-physiological substrates have toxicity and stability problems, making them difficult to automate.
Ferroxidase assays may be a satisfactory alternative for measuring serum ceruloplasmin. The o-dianisidine hydrochloride manual
method for estimation of serum ceruloplasmin enzyme activity was compared with an automated method using the ferroxidase activity
of ceruloplasmin in measurement in a double blind study in 91 consecutive patients screened for Wilson’s disease. The o-dianisidine
and ferroxidase methods both successfully identified 7 patients with Wilson’s disease. Values for these 7 patients in the
o-dianisidine and ferroxidase methods were median 5.0 (range 0–16.0 U/L) and median 45.0 (range 4–166 U/L) respectively. There
were 7 other positive values (<62 U/L) with the o-diansidine method and 2 (<200 U/L) with the ferroxidase method, where WD
was not confirmed. ROC curves for both methods showed area under the curve of 0.998 for o-dianisidine and 0.997 for ferroxidase.
Using literature cut off values of 62 U/L and 200 U/L respectively both methods had 100% sensitivity and specificity was 91.7%
(o-dianisidine) and 97.6% (ferroxidase). For the o-dianisidine assay, specificity was improved to 98.8% using a cut off of
22.5 U/L. In the 84 persons (46 adults and 38 children) in whom the diagnosis of Wilson’s disease was not established, the
mean value for ceruloplasmin activity by the o-dianisidine and ferroxidase methods was 124.7 ± 48.7 U/L and 571.4 ± 168.1
U/L respectively. There were no significant differences between sex or age of patients (p > 0.29). In a subsequent evaluation
with 372 specimens, the Pearson correlation coefficient between the assays was 0.908, p < 0.01, slope 4.06, intercept 265.8,
with the manual assay as the x-axis. The ferroxidase assay is a suitable replacement for the o-dianisidine assay in detecting
patients with Wilson’s disease. 相似文献

Pretreatment of an ethanolic extract of leaf ofPiper betle linn at a dose of 200mg/kg body weight, orally administered to rats for ten consecutive days, was found to possess a significant
protective action against gastric lesions induced by indomethacin. The extract pretreatment resulted in significant increase
in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity, increase in mucus, hexosamine and total thiol group content, but
marked reduction in oxidatively damaged protein and peroxidised lipid levels as compared to untreated ulcerated control. The
extract was also found to possess both superoxide and hydroxyl free radical scavenging action. The present observations establish
the efficacy of the extract in prevention of experimentally induced peptic ulcer by indomethacin and antioxidant property
appears to be predominantly responsible for such cytoprotective activity in the experimental model. 相似文献

Free iron in serum has been found in several disease conditions including diabetes. In the present work, we studied the relationship
between free iron, fasting blood glucose (FBG) and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c). Study was carried out on 50 type 2 diabetes cases under poor glycemic control associated with complications, 53 type 2
diabetes cases under good glycemic control and 40 healthy controls. We estimated free iron, both ferrous (Fe+2) and ferric (Fe+3) form, protein thiols, lipid hydroperoxides, FBG, HbA1c and serum ferritin levels in serum. There was a significant increase
in free iron in Fe+3 state (p <0.01), HbA1c (p<0.01), serum ferritin (p<0.01), lipid hydroperoxides (p<0.01) and significant decrease in protein thiols (<0.01) in diabetes
cases under poor glycemic control compared to diabetes cases under good glycemic control and healthy controls. Free iron correlated
positively with HbA1c (p<0.01). Poor glycemic control and increase in glycation of haemoglobin is contributing to the increase in free iron pool
which is known to increase oxidant generation. 相似文献
