Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) was purified from chicken erythrocytes, and some characteristics of the enzyme were investigated. The purification procedure was composed of three steps: hemolysate preparation, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and 2',5'-ADP Sepharose 4B affinity gel chromatography. Thanks to the three consecutive procedures, the enzyme, having the specific activity of 20.862 EU/mg proteins, was purified with a yield of 54.68% and 9,150-fold. Optimal pH, stable pH, optimal temperature, molecular weight, and KM and Vmax values for NADP+ and glucose 6- phosphate (G6-P) were also determined for the enzyme. In addition, Ki values and the type of inhibition were determined by means of Line-Weaver-Burk graphs obtained for such inhibitors as ATP, ADP, NADH, and NADPH. 相似文献

The role of gender and the menstrual cycle in small bowel motility has not been clearly elucidated. Jejunal motility was recorded with a nasojejunal catheter incorporating five solid-state pressure transducers in ambulatory menstruating women and men of comparable age over 24 h. All women were studied twice, in the early follicular (early-F) and midluteal (mid-L) phases of the menstrual cycle, verified by determining serum levels of gonadal steroids and gonadotropins. The propagation velocity of phase III was slow and the contraction amplitude was high in both menstrual cycle phases compared with men, and these parameters were correlated with serum estrogen levels in the mid-L phase. In the early-F phase, migrating motor complex (MMC) cycle duration during sleep was long compared with other groups and positively correlated with estrogen concentrations, whereas in the mid-L phase MMC cycle duration during sleep was negatively correlated with serum progesterone levels. In all groups, the frequency of phase III contractions was low and the intercontractile interval measured from pressure peak to peak was long during sleep compared with the awake state. Postprandial motility did not display gender difference in any parameter examined. The results demonstrate that the majority of patterns of motility are similar in menstruating women and men, whereas certain aspects of the MMC, most conspicuously propagation velocity and phase III contraction amplitude, differ. We have also documented circadian variation of phase III contraction frequency in both women and men. 相似文献

Acromegaly is associated with a two to three-fold increase in mortality related predominantly to cardiovascular disease. The excess mortality is associated most closely with higher levels of growth hormone (GH). Survival in acromegaly may be normalized to a control age-matched rate by controlling GH levels; in particular, GH levels less than 2.5 ng/mL are associated with survival rates equal to those of the general population. Hyperhomocysteinemia has also been recognized as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, yet there are limited data on the prevalence of hyperhomocysteinemia in patients with acromegaly. Eighteen acromegaly patients (7 male, 11 female, mean age 42.8 +/- 11.0 years) in our endocrine clinic consented to having the following tests performed: complete blood count (CBC), thyroid hormones, folic acid, vitamin B12, plasma homocysteine levels, uric acid, fibrinogen, CRP, fasting glucose, insulin, C-peptide, total serum cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, GH, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and GH levels after an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). By history, fourteen had macroadenomas and four had microadenomas; eight had hypertension; two had glucose intolerance, and four had diabetes. Fifteen had had transsphenoidal or transfrontal surgery: two had been cured, but 13 others were taking long-acting octreotide. Five patients had undergone radiotherapy and the acromegaly in two was treated primarily with long-acting octreotide. CBC, thyroid hormone, folic acid, and vit B12 levels were normal in all patients. We divided the patients into two groups according to mean GH levels after an OGTT: Group 1 (GH<2.5 ng/mL, n=10), and Group 2 (GH<2.5 ng/mL, n=8). Comparison of the two groups using Mann-Whitney U testing revealed statistically significant lower levels in Group 1 of the following parameters: GH (1.91 +/- 0.90 vs. 8.58 +/- 5.55 ng/mL, p=0.002), IGF-1 (338.30 +/- 217.90 vs. 509.60 +/- 293.58 ng/dL, p=0.06), GH after an OGTT (1.42 +/- 0.81 vs. 9.01 +/- 4.53 ng/mL, p=0.001), plasma homocysteine (12.85 +/- 4.47 vs. 18.20 +/- 4.99 micromol/L, p=0.05), total cholesterol (164.0 +/- 20.81 vs. 188.0 +/- 22.26 mg/dL, p=0.05) and LDL cholesterol (81.0 +/- 9.64 vs. 116.70 +/- 13.03 mg/dl, p=0.01). Differences between the other parameters were not significantly different. Acromegaly patients with high GH levels after an OGTT have much higher levels of homocysteine than patients with lower GH levels. The role of elevated homocysteine levels as an independent cardiovascular risk factor in the mortality of acromegaly patients should be determined in future studies. 相似文献

Concentrations of acute phase proteins (CRP: C-reactive protein, albumin) change during surgery. We investigated the acute phase response to circumcision and the effects of anaesthesia on this response. The children were divided into four groups; group 1 (intratracheal general anaesthesia, n=40), group 2 (general anaesthesia with mask, n=20), group 3 (ketamine, n=20), group 4 (local anaesthesia, n=35). Blood samples were obtained, 24 hours before circumcision, after premedication, and 24 hours after circumcision. CRP and albumin before circumcision were comparable for all groups. There was no increase in CRP, and albumin remained steady throughout the study. No difference was observed among the groups, and related to anaesthesia. No responsiveness may be explained with the size of injured tissue or anatomical and histological type of preputium. 相似文献

Therapeutic effect of interferon-β (IFN-β) treatment has been associated with modulation of the balance between Th1, Th17, Th2 and regulatory T (Treg) cells, whereas the impact of disease modifying drugs on Th9-immunity in multiple sclerosis (MS) has not been studied. To investigate the short-term effects of IFN-β treatment on cytokines in MS, we determined serum levels of IL-17, IL-23, IL-10, IL-4, IFN-γ, IL-9 and TGF-β in relapsing remitting MS patients before and 2 months after IFN-β treatment by ELISA. MS patients showed increased IL-17, IL-23 and IL-4 levels and decreased IL-9 levels as compared to healthy controls. IFN-β treatment only reduced IL-17 and IL-23 levels, whereas the levels of other cytokines remained unchanged. IFN-β treatment appears to exert its earliest therapeutic effect on Th17-immunity. The influence of IL-9 on MS pathogenesis needs to be further studied. 相似文献

Background
Preservation of fossil vertebrates in volcanic rocks is extremely rare. An articulated skull (cranium and mandible) of a rhinoceros was found in a 9.2±0.1 Ma-old ignimbrite of Cappadocia, Central Turkey. The unusual aspect of the preserved hard tissues of the skull (rough bone surface and brittle dentine) allows suspecting a peri-mortem exposure to a heating source.Methodology/Principal Findings
Here we describe and identify the skull as belonging to the large two-horned rhinocerotine Ceratotherium neumayri, well-known in the late Miocene of the Eastern Mediterranean Province. Gross structural features and microscopic changes of hard tissues (bones and teeth) are then monitored and compared to the results of forensic and archaeological studies and experiments focusing on heating effects, in order to reconstruct the hypothetical peri-mortem conditions. Macroscopic and microscopic structural changes on compact bones (canaliculi and lamellae vanished), as well as partial dentine/cementum disintegration, drastic enamel-dentine disjunctions or microscopic cracks affecting all hard dental tissues (enamel, cementum, and dentine) point to continued exposures to temperatures around 400–450°C. Comparison to other cases of preservation of fossil vertebrates within volcanic rocks points unambiguously to some similarity with the 79 AD Plinian eruption of the Vesuvius, in Italy.Conclusions/Significance
A 9.2±0.1 Ma-old pyroclastic density current, sourced from the Çardak caldera, likely provoked the instant death of the Karacaşar rhino, before the body of the latter experienced severe dehydration (leading to the wide and sustainable opening of the mouth), was then dismembered within the pyroclastic flow of subaerial origin, the skull being separated from the remnant body and baked under a temperature approximating 400°C, then transported northward, rolled, and trapped in disarray into that pyroclastic flow forming the pinkish Kavak-4 ignimbrite ∼30 km North from the upper Miocene vent. 相似文献7.

Compounds containing nitrogen and sulfur atoms can be widely used in various fields, including industry, medicine, biotechnology, and chemical technology. Among them, amides of acids and heterocyclic compounds have an important place. These amides and thiazolidine‐4‐ones showed good inhibitory action against butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and human carbonic anhydrase isoforms. AChE exists at high concentrations in the brain and red blood cells. BChE is an important enzyme that is plentiful in the liver, and it is released into the blood in a soluble form. They were demonstrated to have effective inhibition profiles with Ki values of 23.76–102.75 nM against hCA I, 58.92–136.64 nM against hCA II, 1.40–12.86 nM against AChE, and 9.82–52.77 nM against BChE. On the other hand, acetazolamide showed Ki value of 482.63 ± 56.20 nM against hCA I, and 1019.60 ± 163.70 nM against hCA II. Additionally, Tacrine inhibited AChE and BChE, showing Ki values of 397.03 ± 31.66 and 210.21 ± 15.98 nM, respectively. 相似文献

Paraoxonase‐1 (PON1) is an organophosphate hydrolyzer and antiatherogenic enzyme. Due to the PON1's crucial functions, inhibitors and activators of PON1 must be known for pharmacological applications. In this study, we investigated the in vitro effects of some sulfonamides compounds on human serum PON1 (hPON1). For this aim, we purified the hPON1 from human serum with high specific activity by using simple chromatographic methods, and after the purification processes, we investigated in vitro interactions between the enzyme and some sulfonamides (2‐amino‐5‐methyl‐1,3‐benzenedisulfonamide, 2‐chloro‐4‐sülfamoilaniline, 4‐amino‐3‐methylbenzenesulfanilamide, sulfisoxazole, sulfisomidine, and 5‐amino‐2‐methylbenzenesulfonamide). IC50, Ki values, and inhibition types were calculated for each sulfonamide. 2‐amino‐5‐methyl‐1,3‐benzenedisulfonamide and 2‐chloro‐4‐sülfamoilaniline exhibited noncompetitive inhibition effect, whereas 4‐amino‐3‐methylbenzenesulfanilamide, sulfisoxazole, and sulfisomidine exhibited mixed type inhibition. On the other hand, 5‐amino‐2‐methylbenzenesulfonamide showed competitive inhibition and so molecular docking studies were performed for this compound in order to assess the probable binding mechanism into the active site of hPON1. 相似文献

Cell proliferation and migration are crucial in many physiological processes including development, cancer, tissue repair, and wound healing. Cell migration is regulated by several signaling molecules. Identification of genes related to cell migration is required to understand molecular mechanism of non-healing chronic wounds which is a major concern in clinics. In the current study, the role of cytoglobin (CYGB) gene in f?broblast cell migration and proliferation was described. L929 mouse fibroblast cells were transduced with lentiviral particles for CYGB and GFP, and analyzed for cell proliferation and migration ability. Fibroblast cells overexpressing CYGB displayed decreased cell proliferation, colony formation capacity, and cell migration. Phosphorylation levels of mTOR and two downstream effectors S6 and 4E-BP1 which take part in PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling declined in CYGB-overexpressing cells. Microarray analysis indicated that CYGB overexpression leads to downregulation of cell proliferation, migration, and tumor growth associated genes in L929 cell line. This study demonstrated the role of CYGB in fibroblast cell motility and proliferation. CYGB could be a promising candidate for further studies as a potential target for diseases related to cell migration such as cancer and chronic wound treatment. 相似文献
