Sialic acid, the end moieties of the carbohydrate chains are biologically important and essential for functions of glycoconjugates
and are reported to be altered in cancer patients. Two hundred and twenty five breast cancer (BC) patients, 100 patients with
benign breast disease (BBD) and 100 healthy females (controls) were enrolled for the study. Eight hundred and twenty four
follow-up samples of 225 breast carcinoma patients were also evaluated. The association of sialic acid forms, sialyltransferase
and α-2–6 sialoproteins levels with presence and extent as well as prognosis of breast carcinoma was studied. Serum sialic
acid forms and sialyltransferase revealed significantly elevated levels among untreated breast cancer patients as compared
to the controls, patients with BBD as well as cancer patients in remission. Non-responders showed comparable levels of the
markers with those found in breast cancer patients at the time of diagnosis. Higher levels of sialic acid forms at diagnosis
were associated with poor prognosis. A positive correlation between serum levels of different forms of sialic acids and extent
of malignant disease was observed. The changes in serum proteins with terminal α-2–6 sialic acid correlated well with alterations
in the levels of sialic acid forms and sialyltransferase. Malignant tissues showed elevated levels of sialic acid and sialyltransferase
as compared to surrounding normal tissues.
The results suggested potential utility of these markers in evaluation of clinical outcome. 相似文献

The present study deals with the estimation of total carbohydrate, protein bound carbohydrate, bound fucose and sialic acid
along with total protein in disease conditions like gingivitis, periodontitis and their comparison with the normals.
The neutral hexose values in gingivitis (8.08±2.20mg/100mg protein) and periodontitis (12.5±2.16mg/ 100mg protein) decreased
significantly when expressed per 100 mg protein compared to normals (19.8±1.89mg/100mg protein). This might be because of
higher protein concentration in these two clinical conditions. The ethanol insoluble hexose values were significantly reduced
in both these conditions compared to controls (3.71±1.64,5.91±1.63,7.65±0.86mg/100mg protein respectively). The ethanol soluble
hexose values were also found to be drastically reduced. This decrease in saliva appears to be characteristic feature of oral
diseases. In gingivitis and periodontitis fucose level was found to be increased compared to normals when expressed as a function
of salivary volume. However in terms of protein concentration the values in gingivitis (2.95±1.59), periodontitis (3.26±0.98)
and normals (3.20±0.50mg/100mg) were not different. Sialic acid in ethanol insoluble fraction of salivary samples mg/100mg
protein was found to be significantly reduced in both gingivitis (0.78±0.33) and periodontitis (0.95±0.31) compared to controls
(1.92±0.33) 相似文献

The study includes 102 confirmed cases of carcinoma breast with and without metastasis and 25 healthy non-pregnant females.
They were evaluated for blood levels of Ferritin, GSH, LDH, ALP, GGT and Hb before and 21 days after mastectomy. A significant
increase (p<0.001) was observed in ferritin, LDH and GSH levels in cancer patients without metastasis in comparison to normal
control subjects. Patients with metastasis had further elevated (p<0.001) levels of Ferritin, ALP and GGT as compared to non-metastatic
patients. Mastectomy in both the cases i.e. with and without metastasis resulted in non-significant decrease in all the biochemical
parameters suggesting that longer follow up could confirm post surgery decrease in the biochemical parameters. The results
of the study suggest cost effective, usefulness of Ferritin, ALP, GGT and GSH/Hb ratio in differentiating breast cancer patients
with and without metastasis which can be assayed in smaller laboratories. 相似文献

This study was conducted to find out the possible underlying mechanism of various manifestation of fluorosis, a disease caused
by excess ingestion of fluoride. For this the fluoride belt of Jaipur district was selected. The parameters selected were
serum Parathyroid hormone, the levels of which are directly affected by fluoride intake. The levels of serum seromucoid, serum
and leucocyte ascorbic acid, serum sialic acid (SSA) reflects ground substance metabolism. The study was conducted on two
hundred children, selected from four areas (50 from each area) consuming water containing 2.4, 4.6, 5.6 and 13.6 mg/l of fluoride.
Drinking water fluoride and serum fluoride were measured by Ion selective electrode method. Serum parathyroid by RIA and all
other parameters were measured spectrophotometrically. The results revealed an increase in levels of fluoride, parathyroid
hormone and seromucoid in serum with increasing water fluoride concentrations. Serum Calcium and serum ascorbic acid were
found in normal range, how ever leucocyte ascorbic acid were decreased. A high positive correlation among fluoride concentration
in drinking water and serum parathyroid hormone (r=0.967), and, serum parathyroid hormone and serum seromucoid concentration
(r=0.935) was also observed The results indicated that secondary hyperparathyroidism due to hypocalcemic stress caused by
excess fluoride ingestion disturbs normal metabolism of ground substance in calcified tissues of the body reflected as altered
levels of the components of ground substance in the serum. 相似文献

For evolving a potential Biochemical index for early diagnosis of oral cancer, serum levels of total sialic acid (TSA), lipid
bound sialic acid (LSA), mucoid proteins and hexoses (galactose and mannose) were determined in 30 patients with oral cancer.
The results were compared with similar values obtained for 30 patients with oral precancerous conditions, 24 healthy controls
and 15 normal individuals with a habit of tobacco chewing. All the biomarkers were significantly elevated in oral cancer patients
compared to the controls, the normal chewers and precancer patients. The levels of glycoconjugates showed significant increase
in patients with oral precancerous conditions compared to the controls. Only LSA and hexoses showed significantly elevated
levels in oral precancer patients compared to the normal chewers. The levels of glycoconjugates were more or less comparable
between normal chewers and the controls. The parameters evaluated in the oral cancer patients also showed a progressive rise
with the clinical stage of the malignant disease. The levels of the four glycoconjugates were also higher in patients with
metastasis compared to those with only primary disease. The present findings suggest that the glycoconjugates have clinical
utility in diagnosis of the patients with cancer of the oral cavity as well as in staging the disease. 相似文献

The present study was done to assess the levels of glycoconjugates and ceruloplasmin in sera of patients with cervical cancer.
Serum hexoses, hexosamines, sialic acid and fucose are elevated in a variety of inflammatory and neoplastic conditions. All
the glycoconjugates, except fucose were increased in serum of patients compared to controls. Also, hexoses and sialic acid
levels were high in patients with later stages of cancer compared to patients with early stage disease (P=<0.0001, P=0.03).
Serum ceruloplasmin was increased in patients with early stage cancer (51.5mg/dl) and with late stage cancer (61mg/dl) compared
to controls (38mg/dl). The elevated glycoconjugates may be the result of inflammatory reaction associated with neoplasia,
as serum ceruloplasmin (an acute phase reactant) is also increased in these patients. 相似文献

Glyco-oxidation is considered as a source of permanent, cumulative, oxidative damage to long lived proteins in ageing and
in diabetes. Although RBC depends solely on glucose for energy purpose, hyperglycemic state glycosylates hemoglobin, creates
oxidative stress and puts the cellular components at risk. In view of this, RBC membrane composition was analyzed in diabetic
patients. The results were compared with healthy age and sex matched control groups. When RBC membrane components such as
protein, sialic acid, phospholipids and cholesterol were determined in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, a significant
rise in phospholipids and cholesterol and significant fall in sialic acid and protein content was noted. RBC membrane composition
showed pronounced alterations in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. These changes were accompanied by higher levels of lipid
peroxidation products like Malondialdehyde. 相似文献

Blood samples from 39 patients with acute myocardial infarction and 15 healthy controls were analysed for serum and platelet sialic acid. Serum sialic acid levels in patients with acute myocardial infarction were significantly higher than controls (mean 2.7±0.46 μmol/ml Vs. 1.91±0.17 μmol/ml respectively). Levels of serum orosomucoid, an acute phase reactant, containing sialic acid, were also higher in these patients, suggesting a possible non-specific mechanism of increase in serum sialic acid concentration. In contrast, platelets contained significantly less sialic acid in patients with acute myocardial infarction than control (26.73±1.57 nmol/mg protein and 31.97±2.68 nmol/mg protein respectively). 相似文献

Plasma vitamin E levels were estimated in 75 patients each of carcinoma breast and benign breast diseases. Mean plasma vitamin E concentration was found to be significantly reduced in malignancy compared to the controls as well as the non malignant conditions. The decrease in plasma vitamin E in cancer patients was directly related with the TNM stage of cancer. The levels, however, did not vary significantly with respect to histopathology or after 8 days of surgery. 相似文献

Serum sialic acid levels were determined in 66 patients of carcinoma cervix and 25 control women matched for age. Mean sialic acid level was significantly elevated (p<0.001) in cancer cervix patients as compared to controls. Patients were treated with 50–65 Gy of radiation in 5–6.5 weeks. Post-therapy levels were again determined. Radiotherapy caused decline in serum sialic acid level in all the patients except one. Mean post-therapy level was significantly lower as compared to pretreatment level (p<0.001). It was also observed that fall in sialic acid level was significantly higher (p<0.05) in early stage patients as compared to late stage. No relationship was observed in the dose of radiation and fall in serum sialic acid level. A significantly higher fall in serum sialic acid level was observed in patients having complete clinical response as compared to partial or nonresponders to radiation treatment (p<0.001). 相似文献

Inflammatory pathways have garnered considerable interest in the recent past as an important mediator of the molecular mechanisms leading to carcinogenesis. The present study was conducted to evaluate the correlation of levels of IL-6 with tumor burden and receptor status in patients of locally advanced carcinoma breast. This prospective study was conducted by the collaborative efforts of the departments of Surgery and Biochemistry, Maulana Azad Medical College and associated Lok Nayak Hospital and GB Pant Hospitals, New Delhi. The study population comprised of 30 cases of locally advanced breast carcinoma recruited from the surgical outpatient department. The various parameters that were evaluated include detailed clinico-pathological profile and IL-6 levels. Tissue specimens received after surgeries were examined for the various characteristics indicative of tumor prognosis. Majority of the patients was in the age group of 41–50 years and was postmenopausal. The serum level of IL-6 increased as the disease progressed from T3N1M0 to T4dN2M0 (41.4 ± 31.9 vs. 164.0 ± 31.1 pg/ml respectively). There was significant correlation of IL-6 levels with lymph node involvement, tumor grade, mitotic index and adipose tissue invasion. Emerging molecular markers are being investigated for breast cancer prognosis assessment and prediction of response to chemotherapy including selection of best possible treatment modality. Our study showed that there is progressive increase in IL-6 levels as the stage of disease progresses. 相似文献

From January 1992-January 1998, 1404 patients attended the “Breast Clinic” of R.N.T. Medical College M.B. Hospital, Udaipur.
Out of these, 11% and 81% patients had breast cancer (B.C.) and benign breast cancer (B.B.D.) respectively. The oxidative
load in B.C. was 2.32 times higher than controls, but comparable to B.B.D. β-Carotene deficiency was uncommon in patients,
whereas vitamin A deficiency was almost equally common in both B.C. and controls. Most of the patients had almost depleted
levels of α-tocopherol and ascorbic acid but their TBAR levels were in normal range. The data in the present study when compared
with B.B.D. and other local normal subjects point out: a) oxidative burden in B.C. is a consequence and not the cause of the
disease, (b) oxidative stress could be one of the etiological factors in tumor expression, which need not to be malignant
and c) α-tocopherol and ascorbic acid are not importantly responsible for higher oxidative burden in B.C. 相似文献

Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (gamma-GT) levels were estimated in the sera of patients with breast cancer and compared with those of benign breast diseases and healthy controls. Serum gamma-GT levels were found to be significantly increased in patients with breast cancer compared to the controls as well as benign breast diseases. The rise however, was nearly same in all the patients irrespective of histopathology of cancer but was directly related to tumour mass. After mastectomy the levels remained higher upto 3 months. In patients with cancer the rise in serum gamma-GT was significantly higher as compared to those with benign breast diseases. Although gamma-GT is an index of liver diseases, its high level in breast carcinoma suggests the release of the membrane bound constituents from different tissues even in carcinoma. 相似文献

Serum levels of various lipid parameters, i.e., triglycerides, total cholesterol, alpha lipoprotein or high density lipoprotein
(HDL)-cholesterol and beta lipoprotein or low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol were measured in a total of 138 histologically
proven cases of breast cancer along with 146 control women. The mean levels of serum triglycerides, total cholesterol and
LDL-cholesterol were found to be significantly higher in breast cancer cases as compared to controls. However, lower mean
levels of serum HDL-cholesterol and sex-hormone binding glubulin (SHBG) were observed in breast cancer patients than the control
subjects. The results indicate a probable relation between serum lipids and the activity of sex-hormones. Moreover, the study
reflects an overall disturbance of lipid metabolism in the pathological process of breast cancer. 相似文献

Changes in the levels of glycoprotein (GP) and glycosminoglycans (GAG) were studied in diabetes associated with myocardial infarction in rats. Diabetes was induced by alloxan while myocardial infarction was induced using isoproterenol. Most of the GAG fraction increased in the heart and aorta in diabetes superimposed with myocardial infarction. The carbohydrate of GP also increased in heart while in serum only sialic acid showed an increase. The activity of lysosomal enzymes showed an increase in the case of β-glucuronidase and β-hexosaminidase while in the case of β-galactosidase and β-fucosidase it showed a decrease in the heart. 相似文献

BackgroundDiabetes is a metabolic disorder caused by defects in insulin production and activity. During disease progression, changes in lipid peroxidation cause structural modifications via production of free radicals. Fangchinoline is a well-known alkaloid present in Stephaniae tetrandrine S. Moore, which has demonstrated antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory activities.ResultsThe present study analyzed the anti-diabetic and antioxidant effects of fangchinoline in male rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Rats were divided into the following groups: normal control, diabetic, diabetic + fangchinoline 100 mg/kg, diabetic + fangchinoline 200 mg/kg and diabetic + glibenclamide 600 µg/kg. The treatment was administered orally for 45 consecutive days. Lipid peroxidation was substantially increased by >50% in the serum, as well as the liver, kidney, and heart tissues of diabetic rats. However, fangchinoline supplementation significantly reduced lipid peroxidation to near normal levels. Reactive oxygen species levels were substantially increased by >500% in the serum, as well as the liver, kidney, and heart tissues of diabetic rats. Fangchinoline supplementation reduced reactive oxygen species to near normal levels. Fangchinoline supplementation significantly improved superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and reduced glutathione levels in diabetic rats. Total hexoses, sialic acid, hexosamines, and fucose were increased in diabetic rats, whereas fangchinoline supplementation significantly reduced these total hexoses, sialic acid, hexosamines, and fucose to near normal levelsConclusionsSupplementation with fangchinoline led to significant attenuation of the levels of lipid peroxidation, ROS, and glycoprotein components such as total hexoses, hexosamines, sialic acid, and fucose, while improving antioxidant marker levels.How to cite: Xia J, Huang W, Zhou F.

In the present study, oxidative stress and lymphocytic DNA damage in both pre-op and post-op benign prostrate hyperplasia (BPH) patients with age >50 years was evaluated and compared with normal healthy subjects (controls- without any evidence of disease) of the same sex and age group. From December 2007 to November 2009, oxidative stress in 45 BPH patients were evaluated both before (pre-op patients) and after 7 days of surgery (post-op patients) in terms of measurements of plasma levels of (1) various anti-oxidative enzymes, (2) non-enzymatic antioxidants and (3) malondialdehyde which is a product of lipid peroxidation. The lymphocyte DNA damage was also evaluated by single cell alkaline gel electrophoresis in terms of tail length migration in these patients. These values were compared with their respective control subjects of similar sex and age group. The activities of antioxidant enzymes and the levels of antioxidant, reduced glutathione were found significantly decreased (p < 0.05) in serum samples of pre-operative group of BPH patients as compared to the controls. These altered parameters increased significantly (p < 0.05) and returned to their near normal control values, but not up to baseline values, in post operative patients i.e. after the cancer load was decreased by surgery. Lymphocytic DNA damage was found to be significantly increased in pre-op group as compared to controls and was reduced after surgery in post-op group. The present study therefore, shows significantly increased levels of oxidative stress and DNA damage in BPH patients which were reduced after removal of tumour load. Thus oxidative damage plays an important role in prostate tumourogenesis and timely management of oxidative stress can be of importance in preventing the occurrence of BPH. 相似文献

Iron deficiency evolves, slowly through several stages. Early iron deficiency caused a depletion in iron stores as shown by
a reduction in the levels of hepatic non heme iron (44%) in the 7 days old pups born to iron deficient mothers. The hemoglobin
levels and PCV (packed cell volume) were significantly reduced only after the age of three weeks. The activities of GABA (γ-amino
butyric acid) shunt enzymes viz. GDH, GAD and GABA-T (glutamate dehydrogenase, glutamate decarboxylase and GABA-transaminase,
respectively) and GABA content were found to decrease during gestation and/or lactation iron deficiency at 1 week (wk), 2wk,
3wk and 4wk of age in the developing rat brains. However GABA binding showed a significant increase at different age groups.
The iron deficiency during lactational exposure showed significant alteration in most of the parameters only at the age of
3 weeks onwards. On rehabilitation with iron supplemented diet for 2 weeks, these altered parameters could not attain corresponding
control values. A prolonged iron deficiency causing alterations in GABA may lead to neurological and behavioral alterations. 相似文献

The level of sialic acid in the obese polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) was found to be significantly reduced as compared to normal. Activity of sialic acid degrading enzyme, sialidase, was found to be increased in the obese state. Restoration in both sialic acid content and sialidase activity was also evidenced in the PMNL of treated obese patients. 相似文献
